Mods like that are totaly unpredictable and require good mechanical knowledge, a good understanding of how the components work and spare cash for the components that either don't fit or break whilst you are moding them. You will have to consider steering lock, how to fit your instruments/headlight is there enough clearance around the tank (the USD forks will be A LOT thicker) and the ride height relative to the rear of the bike. Thats just for starters, Your disk WONT fit, your wheel MIGHT the caliper and its mounts will differ. Short answer is that this type of mod is NEVER easy or cheap without experience. If you are hell bent on this kind of mod at least look at a YZ as a donor as there is a far greater chance of the bits being somewhere near.
