No, R1 forks are a much greater diameter so need bigger yokes. You'll also loose speedo drive, need an R1 wheel, disc, spindle, mudguar and clip ons

what you want is something like this :wink:

Last set of Tcat forks went on ebay for £221 IIRC

You can make the TRX wheel fit but you need spacers etc and a new mudguard.
