They will with some triple work. Keep your eyes open fir a set of monster adjustables. Bolts right in with no problems. That's what I did

as long as the  brake set up is the same( not radial) you will have no mods needed.  I gkr mine off an old S4.
 
Yes forks  off s2r1000 would bolt right up.

Keep an eye on eBay.  Where I got mine.

If you manage to get ones off an S2R, S4R (Not the S4Rs with radial brakes) - they will bolt right up and have the benefit of having the same axle diameter as your bike. For best results, you should get the forks done for your weight - if you don't happen to be a little Italian, like I happen to not be.

these forks are fully adjustable, are the correct length and will bolt right on...

They will bolt in but I was told that they are just slightly longer.....  I could be wrong as I'm no expert.

One other option is fully adjustable Showas from '99-'01 SS900 (but NOT pre-'99.)  Rumored to possess SBK-ish internals (I have no evidence) they have the same geometry as the Monster forks except for length (longer by ~2-2.5".)  Proper caliper spacing.  I installed these on my M800 and they are sweet.  Used the extra length as an excuse to get above-the-triple clipons which have really changed the riding feel of the bike for the better.

I had a set of ST2 forks side by side with my old 695 forks, and there is a 3mm difference in length at best, which is negligable.
