Re: F4i front end swaps

I suggest you to get 600rr from samurial ...radial front end is the best bet.

Re: F4i front end swaps

Nope, not saying that at all... i've rolled over 200 on it... it's just a lil scary when picking it up going over 45-50mph.... too much pogo bouncing for my liking.

i've rolled about 220 and no doubt could hit 300 but still a lil scary...

i'd rather go slower and be able to rip it right up to balance faster rather than going faster and easing it up w/ a bouncing front end. There's no room for error at all w/ the spongy stock f4i front end (even w/ everything on full hard).

Inverted w/ steel braided and radial all around, should b a much more predictable and smooth pop up.

i've got a brand new set of FI 0degree 50mm... unmounted and still in the package.

i was gonna send it back but if you want em... lemme know.

I decided to go w/ convertibars 0 degree so i can still rock full fairing and turn em out real wide.
