Re: R1 front end on 99-02 R6?

I cannot give you a definitive answer on this so maybe I shouldnt say anything. However I can say that most other manufacturers have swappable front ends. Just about any suzuki GSXR, TL, SV, etc front ends are interchangable with eachother. The same goes for the honda 900RR 929, 954, F2, F3, F4, F4i etc. You should take note that most of the time you have to change out the whole front clip because the only thing that is actually the same is the steering stem bearings and races.
