i dont think it'll improve my limited runups (those are going good) but i expect more stability during higher speed stoppies! i wanna roll close to 600ft!!:YEAH if i could just find somewhere nice to practice that at..

Looks nasty! Did you use stock rim, rotors and calipers? What all did you have to change to make it fit?

its a rc51 rim with rotors, rc51 axle, rc 51 forks. then the stock f4i calipers and 954 triples. fits like a glove. if you keep FF then the bolts on the lower triple hit the back of the headlight. so i cut some stuff away. and maybe weld up the stops on the lower triple but that's it!
