usd forks for my gladius?

hello.. does anyone know the the easiest way to convert the front forks on my 2011 gladius to usd`s? i`ve been looking at previous threads and saw that older gsxr front will go on. can anyone help with info for the best way to go and spec? i really want to change the whole front end so any help would be great.

The thing about Suzuki is they often use the same yoke spindle sizes, so for curvys the pre-SRAD era GSXR slot straight in. For pointies it's the Y2K GSXR. I suspect it could be the same with your gladys, but as a GSXR 600 K8 rear shock is the cheapest rear upgrade, from what I read in Performance bikes, maybe a late set of forks from similar age GSXR?

Have you looked over on svrider to see what the yanks have done?
