I fitted a set of Ohlins R&T radial forks off a 999R onto my 748 using the stock yokes. You just need to get the bottom yoke bored to suit. I know someone that can do it for you based in the South East. He did a superb job on mine.

I then sourced a set of 15mm offset discs and had a spacer made up for the wheel spindle to get the alignment correct. Was actually very simple to do.
