I'd like to outfit my 1982 KZ550-A with dual disks by swapping the front wheel and brakes from a GPZ. Problem is, I'll also need to swap out the forks in order to mount the right side caliper. Has anybody done this, or know if the GPZ tubes are the same diameter to fit in the KZ clamps?

I did this... forks off my 1983 GpZ550 to my 1983 KZ550. Just dropped froks out of the triple clamps and slid right in.

can you swap the stock forks in the triples to mount the caliper on the other side?
