CBR600RR07 forks on NC29?

Going to buy forks from CBR600RR07, because I have possibility to sell mine OEM wheel.
I was planning to keep wheel from NC29, but looks like I can't. The diameter of brake disc on NC29 is 296mm, on CBR600RR is 310mm. And distance between brake (between internal disc sides) disc on NC29 - 125mm, on CBR600RR - 130mm. 5mm not big deal really, but I'm worrying it would fit to calipers. So, better to changes completely full front end.
Front brakes diameter: 310 mm (12.2 inches)
Does anybody know weight of NC29 wheel compare with CBR600RR ? I don't like to get gyroscopic effect increasing on this bike and ever planning to reduce it.
Front tyre dimensions: 120/70-ZR17
As for the front tyre I'm able to used mine and don't need to buy new one. That good...
Clutch\brake lever, grip and all other stuff should fit and I don't see any problem with this.
Wish me good luck...
Here is what I planning to get.

Made some photo today.
1. Top and bottom yoke fit straight. Stem length is same, bearings is the same (and interchangeable). All what need to be done is increase holders never bottom yoke. Like picture below.
I use bolt to make holder adjustable.
2. That's all.. all other fit as old forks.
I'm using also CBR600 wheel ( with brake rotors), but looks NC29 also fit with different spacers. And keep in mind that disk on CBR400 has smaller diameter 296mm against 310mm on CBR600.

Very cool
I was all excited about putting an 05 front end on my race bike and then found out that the rules don't allow it down here in Australia!
I'm surprised that it bolts straight on... i'll be very interested to hear how it feels and what it does to the bike.
Looking forward to an update!

what length are the forks on the rr7 from the cap on fork top to centre of spindle
have rr5 front end. i measured them 680mm long (rr5 forks)25mm cartridge kit k-tech in fork would that change length.
nc29 forks 710mm.
straight away there is a 30mm difference in fork length between the two.
did you lengthen the front end or lower the rear.
the ride heights are different due to the different fork lengths and rake and trail is changed also.
was going to start this conversion on saturday but after i measured up the forks i didnt go any further.
what ya think. anybody any ideas.
the bike is a track bike so cant ride it untill first trackday next year. long time to wonder if it works
Thanks

1. Top yoke on rr7 has different design and it's thinner - it's give me 15mm, if I tighten forks at the level of top cap I gov 5mm more. So, in my case deference no more than 10mm.
Top yoke from cbr600rr07
On track we little bit down top yoke to handle the conner better - maybe this is specific of our track.
So, in my case I got same length, but forks is better and wheel is lighter. I will measure all when I will get to the garage and let you know.
Here is like an example of such conversion
