IMO the advantage of the SBK forks is how cheap they are. Once you pay for all the other mods, your better off paying for a set of adjustable SS forks and re-spring and valve them. Stock SBK springs and even valving is a little stiff if your under 240lbs. The Adjustable forks from an ss or an 851 make all the other stuff fit. I put SBK forks on my 98 by having Marvin turn down the outside of the tubes to 50mm. That way all the clamp and bar stuff fit back. Not a recommended mod though, I sort of dove in before totally realizing all the implications. It works well and now I know!
