Butch
cheapest & easist way would be to get a radial front end & sell you old one off
It is possible to change the fork bottoms but they ain't cheap
You after a bit more bite & feel from the brakes?

Im with Cheesy. You dont often see fork bottoms for sale. New forks aint cheap either but it might be the most straightforward route?

maybe try to find rsv being scrapped and have front end off em if all straight or,
Look at tweaking your existing set up with new bigger master cylinder with different ratio for more force etc + wavey disks, fancy break pads and big break service? Could be option |

I saw bottoms once, went for about £330
If ya want some more bite
Why not look into the brembo radial m/c's 19/20 19/18 ratios
Also look at a different pad spec or brand
My front brake setup is
Brembo 4 pad calipers
Braided hoses line for each caliper
Brembo radial m/c 19/20
Carbon lorraine pads
few lads have tried my bike & said how good they felt (Dickie, Bugsy, Roy, Griff )
Maybe give them heads up for there opinion
