Yes, your wrong..
The 94 to 97 zx9r had upside forks, they went back to conventional forks on the 98 + models.

Hopefully it'd be a fair bit more than an inch... the extra length will be from the ZXR750 mounting the clipons below the top triple clamp, while the B-model Nine mounts them above.
Option C for the OP would be to replace just the fork lowers... though, admittedly, that's unlikely to be that much cheaper... if the inner tube survives a stack, so does the rest of the forkleg... and IK Labs doesn't count a set in its inventory, sadly.
Which reminds me... you get that wheel off Icebreaker in the end, Coco?
