I once tried on forks from a maxim 700 or virago 700. They were a slide in fit in the triples and they were longer - by how much - I'm not sure, I had the wheel from the maxim in it as well, somewhere I have a pic of it, I needed to make spacers and brake adapters etc but then I gave up on it in lieu of doing something else. Another bike with super long forks is the 750 Vulcan as well, and those forks are pretty abundant on account of Kawi making them for 20+ yrs.
However why do you need longer forks ? Have you raked the frame ?
In that case I almost suggest you get a beefier FE off a dirt bike. The extra loads on the forks cause a lot of flex if you ask me. Not to mention the triples offset and the extra rake increasing that etc make it even worse handling.
Cool.
