Fork setups...Enough already!!!

[LivingCanvas]

Hmm thats pretty good.....all that stuff you listed you had them do? So if i took my forks to race tech thats what it would cost for springs, re valve and thicker oil?

Oh and you brought up a good point about the lower triple being flexy. Thats probably another good thing about the 929 setup because those triples are much thicker...

to roll long stoppies all you need is a long flat practice area!

something i dont have access to!

you think it should have to be the same damper? I'm gonna swap my Hyperpro over to a liter bike for endoes, and can pick up Daytona and Toby dampers for like $200 a pop, so I was thinkin bout putting a second one on the forks of the liter bike and one in the normal spot on my 600......you think it would mess anyting up to mix em?

does the 8lb. chain count as a ballast?




not to self: Buy GangSta chain for rolling long endoes!

I think the f4i forks are fine and with a little bit of work they can be even better I have rolled far on a stock setup also look at rommel he has been rolling very far endos on a stock f3 and f4i for a long time and never converted any of his bikes about the 929 954 front ends I think the brakes are alot more responsive and the stock springs are a little stiffer but just because you change your front end doesn't always mean that you are gonna be riding better endos

The 929/954 front end weighs more then the stock f4i.

I like the feel, of a well "set up" stock F4i front end over a 929/954.

The brakes are a big advantage, but as someone said rock a 929 master on stock f4i brakes and front end.

Just My

i was goin to mention the same person.... i was out in pr with rommel doing a show and i rode with him on the drag stip he was rolling consistant endos at about 600ft with stock setup but he does have dirtbike bars... and this is with like a 300ft approach... which i think is pretty sick and so did everyone else out there in the show wit us... kyle woods, joe vertical, aaron, and jacob brunelle... hes pretty smart with bikes and measurements and all that good stuff if someone can get his aSz next to a comp maybe he can help you guys out im sure!!!
