Jussssst curious to see if someone might have a pic of that kind of thing laying around!!!
they don't make anything that'll fit out of the box.

you'll need new triples and possibly wheel/brake spacers to adopt ones made for another bike.
I thought GoGo ran Ohlins. If Not GoGo another guy connected to his dealings with. Maybe Tiger breath or something. I seen a Guy at Buttonwillow with a full on KTM van and shit and he was running Ohlins.
Search a little I know you will find something.
Yeah youre thinking of GoGo, I found his old posts.... he ran Ohlins forks on an RC8, and he was gonna run em on an SDR but the post said they only had 3 days to source the parts and it would've meant a new wheel, axle, spacers, clamps ,etc etc so it never actually got done.

I thought there might be a simpler way to get em to fit but nevermind, too much hassle. I was just interested to see how gold forks would look on the bike

Exchanged an e-mail with Gogo last night. He ran WP race cartridges in the front and WP race shock in the rear. He said if he were to do it again, would run Penske in the rear and Ohlins in the front. I haven't followed up with him about this yet, but he may have some contacts we mere, non-racing, mortals don't have.
Money talks $$$$ I'm sure its quite readily doable, but for what would (for me) just be a street bike bling mod it's pointless

I thought maybe if the forks were a bolt-on affair (perhaps from another bike that came with factory ohlins) I'd give it a shot just for giggles..
