I believe you're the guy to speak to regarding USD fork conversion on my 14.
i can tell you what i have also the same set up as blubber has to .
i have forks from a Bking with 75mm extenders from extreme creations (Australia) and thug yokes from billet bike bits(uk)
gives radial calipers from the Bking I'm also going to use clutch and brake master cylinders from a Bking.
everything here just not fitted yet.

That's a good set up. I'd like something similar.
King forks have slightly softer internals than the Gen-2 Busa but that's easily fixed.
King also gets a radial master that the early Gen-2's didn't and having traditional
Bars the Kings master cylinder sits at a much nicer angle than using a Busa's.
i also have a hyperpro spring and fork oil kit but will try with standard springs first as the Bking forks have done less than 5000 miles from new if to soft I'll fit the upgrade kit .

I'll be very interested in what spec you end up with.
Many King owners mention soft front ends, heavier bike than a Busa with softer suspension. I know folk have used Busa forks or Busa internals in B-Kings but something like Hyperpro should be better.
I hope you will post up as you do it, please!
Welcome to the forum Willie :onya:
