need info on fork swap

Hows it going guys i want to find out if i can mount a set of 2001 sprint forks and triple trees to my 1997 t595. The fork tubes are bent on my bike so i figured i would try to make it more of a naked sport touring bike (speed triple) style.

You can do it - but those forks are lame.
Smaller diameter than the S3/Daytona forks and completely non-adjustable for damping.
The Daytona brake calipers won't fit on them either incidentally

Decosse you are the man Thanks for answering all my ?s i have had so far about my bike i do have another set of 595 forks that came with the bike when i bought it, but i would like to have a better seating position so i was looking for other options i could use and sell my good set of forks to fund my needs, what about speed triple top triple tree. Also do you or anyone else know where i could get taller clip ons i have looked on google and only found high priced stuff without any rise. Thanks agian

S3 & Daytona top triples are interchangeable.
The S3 top clamps are rare commodities on EBay, but if you find one, go for it
You can also get an ABM or LSL kit that comes with triple clamp and bars and risers.
See Spiegler USA for the LSL kits.
