To add to this listing:

MultiStrada top triple is 53mm and the lower is 54.  Forks are MUCH longer than Monster units, but if someone wanted to make a Monster dirt-bike (or some other contraption), all that would be needed is a SBK conversion top triple to make them fit.  As far as what that would do to rake and trail, well.... YMMV.
