Need some advice on front end

Im gonna pick up a 2001 triumph tt600 this weekend. Was wrecked in the front. Still holds all liquids and runs. Took out the upper triple tree, both forks, and front rim. Everything else is still there. Going to convert to a stunt bike. Was wondering if I can throw a honda, kaw, or yamaha front end in this?? I know I would have to be consistent with the brakes, rim, and axle. I have a machine shop and I am pretty sure I could make anything work, but am new to the whole stunt scene and what you can swap with what.
Thanks

To make that work, would be alot of work for you. You would have to change out the upper and lower triple tree. You could probably do it, I know all the f4i stunters like to switch out to the 929/954 forks. Is there anything wrong with the ones that were in there? I would try to make the stock ones work. It would probably save you some money

Thanks, the bike has both forks bent and cracked the upper triple tree. Was looking on ebay and found some complete r6 front ends with forks, trees, clip-ons, brakes, and front rim. Was thinkin about going that route.

so why ask just buy the parts and get to it. with the right tools you can MAKE anything fit. Get some new triumpt tripples and re size the fork holes to the size you need them to be at. them BAM your done!!!
