As the title said i am wondering if anyone has done this.
Thanks for your time.

Cool idea. You could prolly find a front end that would use the same size bearings in the neck and be good to go.
Do it!
Doubtful unless finding compatable triple trees for the fork cyls..............enough money and anything can be built, even triple trees.
Wondering what the point would be?
me too. Inverted forks may have some advantage on a race bike, but for a 700+ lb touring bike it seems kinda pointless. I owned several sport bikes in the late '80s and early '90s that handled 1000x better than the ST, and none of them had inverted forks. But, the ST folks do love to farkle.
I agree, but if I were to do it, it would be for the better brakes, not the go fast aspect.
Let's build it George.
I haven't been in touch with the spec sheets in the last 10 years or so, didn't know that the Valk was known as a braking monster, woulda lost that bet.
The spread of the forks may be too wide to fit cleanly without interfering with fairing bits and the instrument cluster though.
No idea if the Valk would work that is George's vision. No idea what would work, just feel there must be something out there that would work and have great brakes. Again that would be for a rework of the standard. I feel that the ABS system is strong enough to not be worth the hassle.
