Re: F4i front end swaps
only problem is you have to mount your clipons under the triple so you lose a little more than 2" of length.
I know Bill at FTI has a triple that allows top mount clips... and HoHey has one in the works....
At least w/ the 1000 front end you get the radial mount calipers and front master.

Yes.... ive seen that vid b4... nice stoppie... what was that about 300ft?
If you had no problems w/ the stock front end, then why did you swap to the RC51??

Re: F4i front end swaps
i put the 1000rr front on my f4i and it was amazing. yah u gotta grind the steering stops down some so u can get a good turning radius and the stock clip on position is low so id recomend gettin some 636 or aftermarket clip ons and flip em to raise ur body positoin some. otherwise thats a sick front end for the f4i.

[quote=kj;3015386]they're the same length from the bottom triple to the axle as the stock f4i front end.
humm you sure i have them sitting side by side and there like 2 inches shorter....

The 600rr front end is nice but wont let you turn for ****. You do have to cut the stops too. Even swapping to a 1000rr front end you lose some turning. Never tried other brands. you can dial in a stock front end pretty good thought, but you have to do more than just turn the screws.
Plus an inverted front end wont make you magically learn to endo. But they are cool

Re: F4i front end swaps
I have an R1 front end (black forks). you just need to drop in a custom upper tripple bearing (10 bucks from NSK) and the whole thing drops right in. Same bearing to get a gixxer front end to fit I think

yeah that was somewhere between 300 and 400. i wanted to push it more and have more stability and braking power. the pogo wasnt that bad..

Re: F4i front end swaps
All you need is a 929/954 lower triple tree. Everything else is RC51. I had the front end, rims, and swing arm from the RC51 on my f4i. Hyperryder came up with the idea and put it all together.
