if by drqain all your funds you mean gsxr front ends are free great, cause my funds are drained, haha.
Does anyone know if a 2000 set of forks will fit a 2005 model cause if so that egay link is prob the best chance i got. |

Yes pointy ones should be OK unless you have some ABS to worry about? (AFAIK, I know more about curvy!)

475 quid is a bit way too high for my budget and what actual advantages would you get from using the gixxer front end

It's actually £425 for the forks/yokes etc the other SRAD yoke isn't required. Apparently the Gixer front end is the best front end mod for the bike and I would imagine you'd get a fair bit back for the bits you take off that are still useable.

MUCH better brakes. 4 pot calipers and bigger discs. Lighter wheel. Less unsprung weight. More rigid. Generally handles a sight better.
