Hi comet man . I have just finished the install on my bike too. Had to change the yokes to make them fit. Have done many other mods, but have not tried riding it yet till Next month

I did mine last year using sp3r ohlins before the R came out
fairly simple.
you will need to shim bottom yoke, top is the same.
a new axel is needed as none of the others fit if you are keeping the front wheel.
then new spacers are needed.
there is also a 1mm difference on the ohlins on one side so spacers arnt the same
if you pm you email I can send pics, struggle on here.
got to say work a dream.
make sure you are using the ones that will be weight for the triple to get a good set up

Nice forks you got there petespeed3!
Where did you pick up those rotors from? and did you paint your rad cowls or buy them painted to match?

Ohlins

Yeah CometMan. I used a GSXR BST front wheel. But stuck with the Triumph rear wheel. They made me an axle to suit. Had to make spacers to center the calipers and also changed all the brake lines
