From what I've read, SRAD 750 forks.

One of the more experienced members will no doubt be along to advise shortly though..,

SRAD is better for a curvy, very easy fit. I'm not too good at pointies but I think the generation after SRAD, Y-K3 750, and K1-K2 GSXR thou, possibly bolt right on. The 750 are good, the 1000 are gold. No doubt you can fit others, but I think the most recent ones get fiddly. Those one's'll be relatively cheap, usually, as they're not radial calipers and so nobody wants them.

Stu's doing it I think... And Ianofbhills has some sort of GSXR front though I'm not sure what, or how track-biased his is. For mine, the goal was to make it work exactly like standard, steering lock, proper lock stops, no reduction of turning circle etc, and it does all that, but you can cut corners on that if you want and fit basically anything.
