i have a 1999 hornet 600,
just wondered if the new upsidedown forks from the newer hornet would fit somehow?
i've seen pics of them with these forks on, dont know how difficult it is though. [/b]

It will certainly involve swapping over the yokes as well as the forks. The stem may swap across too, or you may need to make you own steering stem up. Wheel might need swapping as well as the brakes.

It will certainly be easier to just buy new right way up forks.
