Just finished this swap on my 2018 Ninja 650. Used a complete front end from a 04 zx6r. I did the swap differently than any other builds I've seen. I went down on the bike and decided since I was going to have it all apart to check the forks that I might as well upgrade since zx6r front ends are cheap. The 650 forks were straight and ended up selling them for $250. Putting my total for this swap at $150~ including new fork seals and new fork oil
My build retains these stock parts and has the same ergonomics of a stock 650, just better forks/handling
-ninja 650 fender
-ninja 650 wheel and wheel bearings (wheel isn't machined for the bigger bearings)
-ninja 650 axle
-ninja 650 handlebars/riser/controls
-ninja 650 brake rotors
-ninja 650 brake lines
Zx6r parts being used
-upper and lower triple clamps
-forks
-brake calipers
PS. This is not a bolt on type of build. I did a LOT of cutting, grinding, welding and fabrication to make everything work. It's possible to do this swap more easily but at the cost of not retaining the stock ergonomics. I recorded some videos too. Need to edit them and put them up on youtube
