Will those forks work on your bike? Are there any advantages to using those forks?

My guess is that the forks would swap right over. I'm not sure, but apart from the Honda logo, they might be the same thing...
As for the clips, I think I may be keeping them after all. I might spend the $150 I was going to put into the new front end on this instead. Certainly more lbs per $$

After doing a little reading, it looks like honda lengthened the frame (and shortened the swingarm) to accomodate the 900c trans. Knowing that, you can definitely tell by looking at the pics.
Also, I think my thoughts on swapping the trans was just wishful thinking. Engine/trans is all one unit, right?

That leads me to my next question: Could I just drop the whole 900 top end on my 750 base?
I guess in theory it's not that much different than a big bore and upgraded cams
