Re: 600rr forks?
yeah, i'll be the first to admit i can't really roll em yet. my style so far has been to top out in second gear, then pull it up till i come to a complete stop(pretty much as high as you can get); so pretty much a stoppie, not an endo
. a kid i know(dj) that could run long stoppies kept telling me i should not do that cause it's actually more dangerous, so two years ago i started actually rolling them(not long (60feet), but that came to an end when i realized my rotor on my 900 were shot. i'm gettin this f4i together soon and wanna have something i can continue to improve my endos with, thus the 600rr front end with a gixxer damper.

Re: 600rr forks?
im not a super long roller either, i think my best is like 300ft but i put a 1000rr on my f4i for looks mainly lol yahh im a glamma stunna. but even with the f4i front end if there was any issues it would be pogo effect cuz the springs are soft which you can fix by putting in stiffer springs and heavier fork oil.

Re: 600rr forks?
some bikes endo better than others, flat out...putting rr forks on doesnt positively effect the geometry from what i've watched. will give you better fork legs and better brakes, but bike with the stock forks will usually be a better roller than ones with forks not designed for them...changes the geometry too much

i somehow knew this but didn't want to admit it to myself. maybe i'll have a spare front end for your argo bike soon.
i guess i'll just get some new rotors for my 900, just that they're expensive
