Justin is right, but the geometry of the GSXR being different than the monster, the offset of the triples is different. Using the gsxr triples would enduce important changes in the bikes geometry.

Q

Well I wasn't saying you'd want to.
Besides, if you carried over the triples, you'd have to fine a new way to mount gauges, and you'd have to go with clip-ons, etc, etc...

About eight months later, but ok.

I'm still trying to finish this mod myself. Just need the spacers made and forks re-valved.

awesome... i think i will try this mod out if i can find a deal on some decent forks. 

quick double check.. its possible to use brembos (non stock s2r800) on these forks? 

i like the fact that they are gold... really looks sharp.

Are these brakes, the GSXR ones, better than the Brembo ones that came stock on older monsters?

The GSXR forks are radial mount for one and the radial mount ducati brembo calipers on superbikes/s4rs "whathaveyou" have different spacing than the gsxr forks...so no.  Although you can buy aftermarket brembo calipers for them.

Nobody on here seems to be making spacers, Taftonomous has a lathe so you might ask him?

The Tokico's on the GSXR are apparently very nice.  They are radial mount and my guess is lighter than goldlines.  The 09 has even lighter monoblock Tokico calipers but I've yet to check if they differ on spacing.

Your best bet is to do your own measuring, My specs were all different than the drawings provided in this thread.  The rotor spacer is really the hardest part to get machined, you may find you need a different thickness.  Make sure to measure your own parts.

+1, always measure your own stuff....twice....no three times.

I was wondering if forks off a 2001 Monster 900S or other Ducati with adjustable forks would bolt up easier than the GSXR forks?  Anybody know?
Are the drawing still available for the spacers?  Where?
thanks

There is a link to the drawings on my original post near the end.
Not sure about the forks from other Ducati's. I do know there are direct swaps(just using the fork legs), but i am not the expert on years and sizes.
good luck

Just a quick question:
