Re: F4i front end swaps
[QUOTE=havok;3015469] Dude don't sweat the difference.... it's really not that much. And to be able to have radial calipers outweighs the fact that you gotta do a lil tweaking to get the same dimensions as a stock front end.
The overall fork length is like 2 or 3" shorter... but that's only because the f4i bars mount on top the triple... if you measure from the bottom of the lower triple clamp to the center of the axle it's only about a half inch off...
HoHeydesigns.com has a billet top triple clamp that lets you mount the clipons on the top.... i will have one by next week and will post pics when my setup is complete.
If you grab one of those triples and lower the forks a **** hair (1/2") in the triples, you've got the exact same dimensions as the f4i front end.
Only thing is your bar height is gonna be about 2" shorter cause of the overall fork length difference.... if you get some bars w/ a lil rise to em, problem solved.

they're only 1/2" shorter.... don't know why all these people are saying they're so short?
