929/954 frontend to F4 (is it worth it?)

When it comes to stoppies americans kick ***.. however I see alot of american riders rocking 954 frontends on their f4's
Okey I'm really wondering if It's worth the effort and money?
I can roll like 200-250 feet (from second gear with a 60 sprocket) with my ¨F5¨ and I wonder would I get more distance more safely with a better frontend. What's the effect on a better frontend? Could I run stoppies at higher speed?
I don't know about any better than F5 frontend which is a cheaper model of the F4i.. It has no adjustments and so on..

i like the extra support feeling but stopies are garbage. it messes with the balance.. im doing my next one and staying stock. its better to have a f4i and a 954 or 929

I rode on Crazy Martins f4i with a 954 front end and it was the cats meow.. Do it.. you will be very glad you did.. Its solid and the brakes are better.

not worth it.....with a lil fine tungi an f4i front end can be good as gold...lots of people roll close to 600 with one...the only reason i mounted one on my bike is cus my f4i front end wwas ****ed and bent, etc, so instead of spending 400 on a f4i front end, i spent 500 on a 954.....yes it is better the brakes, and feel, but its not worth the $$ if u have a good f4i front end on ur bike

so what kind of fine tuning does it need?

hey guys I mocked up the 99 gsxr front end on my 97 f3 , I have a bit of a bearing issue > the top bearing from the f3 is too small for the gsxr lower triple "not the lower bearing that fits fine) but the shaft that goes through frame" It will not fit over the shaft!!! The gsxr stock bearing bearing fits over the shaft ofcourse but is to big for f3 bearing race!!! I know there must be a way around this but I need some direction!!!! peace
