how hard would it be

So i know most ppl do the 929/954 front end conversion on the f4i .... What do you think of a 600rr front end on the f4i ?? is it possible at all ?? im not doing the conversion but my boy wants to try it since his f4i is all streetfighterd out ...

Re: how hard would it be

i think all u need is the 600 rr invert tripple... if u have a 954 or 929 triple then u can put any 50 mm forks into it

Re: how hard would it be

we got the entire front end for a 600rr from the wheels to the triple ... just debating if its gonna be a pain in the *** or if it would actually be worth it ? cause i was gna do the 954 front but if this works on his might do the same ... prolly give it a shot this weekend .. thanks

Re: how hard would it be

the 929/954 forks are better anyway. Yes, the 600rr 05-06 blow fork seals, not as bad as the Suzuki though

Re: how hard would it be

EVERYONE I know , (Korno, Jerry & Jarad from barely legal, Dom) have ALL looped stoppies like someone stuck a 2x4 in the front wheel. the 600rr front end is SO touchy - the 929/954 big rotor set up rocks, the racing front end will toss you so fast over the front of that bike you won't know what hit you

Re: how hard would it be

try an R1 front end. I love it... recently blew a seal in the left fork, but I had it coming. Shitty weather so I'll fix it soon. Black forks look goooood!
