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

true, you mean off an s2r1000 or will s4r/s4rs work also

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.
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

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.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
