Well, it is now November and I've still not completely wrapped up the project. The SBK forks didn't work out, for two reasons, first reason, the left side caliper support mounting arm is slightly tweaked which didn't allow the caliper to sit parallel to the rotor, second reason, the boring of the top triple was slightly off one one side - probably not a real deal killer.
I ended up getting not one, but two more top triples. The first for the stock forks and the second to be bored out for the SBK forks. Bike is currently sitting in the shop on the trickle charger - I'm going hopefully get the carburetor balance issue straightened out this weekend.
I need to send off the fork to straighten out the mounting arm and also get the extra top triple bored - not sure if I can find a place locally or if I'll have to send it off.
Bike is going to be sold come springtime - I ended up selling my 2004 VW Jetta TDI and got a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for a replacement daily driver, so no more motorcycles (for the moment).
