I would like to meet anyone who has swapped a sport bike front end onto a K75.

what's wrong with the stock front end?
I would like to meet anyone who has swapped a sport bike front end onto a K75.
I’m not sure the expense and hassle of swapping a sport bike front end onto a brick-k would be worth it, even with an USD fork. There’s still the weight to deal with, the longer wheelbase, the frt/rear wheel alignment offset, etc. that impact handling—this is never going to become a cut-and-thrust sport bike.
There are vendors like Tractive that offer cartridge internals for the brick-k bikes, that can dramatically improve front fork action with much less investment in time and money. And then there’s basics, like every brick-k ever built should be on it’s second or third set of fork springs by now, with appropriate sag and preload adjustments included in the job.
Best,
DeVern
