No, R1 forks are a much greater diameter so need bigger yokes. You'll also loose speedo drive, need an R1 wheel, disc, spindle, mudguar and clip ons
what you want is something like this

You'll need 41mm forks then
Just like the ones I'm selling

Last set of Tcat forks went on ebay for £221 IIRC
You can make the TRX wheel fit but you need spacers etc and a new mudguard.
