They may be over-sprung, since the water cooled bikes are a little heavier but I’m not sure.

Most likely the springs will be stiffer.
I have 916 forks in my M900 that I had previously resprung for my weight when in the 916 but in the Monster they were super stiff and needed re-springing again - this due to a 916 being some 15-20kg heavier than a Monster, although a water cooled monster may not be so much heavier than an air cooled as the SBK?
As for the fitting, I needed to bore the top yoke from 50 to 53mm and sleeve the bottom yoke from 54 to 53mm.
Also needed 916 spindle and bar risers to allow clearance for the adjusters under the handlebars (compensated for the rise by using flat bars), if using a mech speedo you may also need the drive unit and new wheel bearings if it's not already 25mm?.
They work very well, especially because I also fitted radial calipers at the same time for better braking.
