Bore out front triples?

I just measured a stock bottom clamp and while you could take off enough material to fit a 41mm tube in it (as has been said several times) I would not want to ride a bike with that holding the fork on.

Why do you want dual front brakes? The single rotor gives plenty of stopping power for this bike and you shouldn't have any fade problems unless you are doing serious track work (and I'm not sure even then).

Assuming you REALLY want the second brake, you know you will need a different master cylinder to deal with the added volume of the second caliper?

I'm not sure what hell you would be going through to mount the gauges. I have an old GSXR fork on my 500 and it would have been very easy to mount the stock gauges on it (if they hadn't been mangled beyond use). I'm thinking an SV clamp would be even easier to adapt.

Basically, I think you are oversimplifying the hard parts and making the easy parts difficult. If you really want to do this I strongly recomend getting  the triple clamps that go with the bigger fork and go with that.
