Thanks for the info! I'll try to get some measurements to confirm.Hi. Welcome onboard.
In 2012 Kawa did cosmetic and frame changes, but I believe the front end has stayed the same through all generations - so there is a good chance that it would fit. I read on another forum that a guy fitted 2004 ZX6R front forks to his 2012 model - which is basically the same as your '15.
Although, if you don't want to use clip-ons with that front end, you are going to have to fit up a different top triple tree, and from what I understand, it's not just a simple swap, there's a fair bit of work involved.
Just to share an update with you guys, I built the 15 I picked up a year and a half ago into a road race bike. I swapped in a 2005 ZX10R front end using the info from this thread which worked, but the issue I ran into was pressing the 650 steering stem into the ZX10 lower. The lower got bent in the process and is giving me problems (probably also aggravated by a recent crash 😂) so I'm looking into other options. I know a guy selling a ZX6R front end from his 08, hence my original question.
