Unless you leave the clipons under the triple, you're going to have issues with the front wheel hitting the radiator

I can't help ya there..

I would guess 929/954 lower though since thats the trick with the 1k front end

wait wait wait

600rr is 48mm and 1000rr/929/954 is 50mm.

You need to use the 600rr lower triple and just cut the stops off. I have several friends that have done it down here but was having a brain fart.

Re: mounting 06 600rr frontend on F4i question??????????

after removing that much of the stops are they still functional?????????
i'd think it would'nt be good to compleatly remove the stops, because when the bike is dropped wouldnt the bars just keep turning untill the forks hit the frame or bars/clip-ons hit the tank?

ITs a direct swap, I just did it 2 days ago

You have to either trim the stops, or cut them off and install ones yourself..


I just cut the stops off, and drilled holes in the lower triple, and installed bolts with nuts going through to be the stops.


The bearings swap fine, you can use your stock f4i bearing, or the 600rr bearings..

You can also use a f4i or 600rr all ***** bearing kit with it.

Re: mounting 06 600rr frontend on F4i question??????????

I have the same setup, its awsome! I just ground down the stops until I was happy with the clearance, just about a finger between the frame! you'll be happy with the setup! and 954/929 trees will not work~!
