Tony,

Forget going back to stock TRX forks, change to early R1 forks, fit ZX6R springs and Robert is your fathers' brother.

Use Thunderace front wheel to retain mechanical speedo unit (same tyre size as the TRX). As you saw on that pretty little blue n white TRX that Andrea was riding, it just looks like it should have been done like from day one.
