F4i front end help asap please

I tried search to get nothing.


I have a f4i with a stock front end. I want forks with gold tubes and I do not want to lower the bike at all. Any ideas on what works easily?

Also I already have 929 forks but the outer tubes are not gold and I can get $250 for them today.

yeah they are. if you keep your clipons under the triple its not a big deal, but if you put them above it puts the fender kind of close to the radiator

Re: F4i front end help asap please

i just put a 1000rr front end on my f4i with no problems.... if ur running full fairing u cannot run the ignition switch in the stock position... also shave down the steering stops on the lower triple to get the most outta ur steering... and im still trying to find a damper to run with it... and of course the normal holes drilled in the top triple for clamps... and u gotta b careful how much u "lower" the front end cause there isnt alot of room to clamp the forks with the triple....

Re: F4i front end help asap please

929 and 954 are the easiest swaps. You dont have to lower the front end nearly as much. With the newer radial front ends unless you're running dirtbike bars or stock clipons, you're going to be hitting ****
