F4i front end swap

Got a deal in the making for a 05 600RR front end for my F4i and want to know what peoples opinions are on em. How similar is it to the 929 if at all. Thanks

+1 isn't the 03 to 05 600RR front a conventional non inverted front end? just the same I think. if you're wanting a better front end get either a 929/954 1000RR or 06 and newer 600RR. I still rock my stocker and bang big *** stoppies no problem

Re: F4i front end swap

05/06 600rr = inverted.

i just think its a waste cause people dont understand that slapping on a inverted front end on there clapped out bike is a waste, specialy if they let the bike hit a wall (Which if your running a high idle) your bike will/can stand up after u toss it in the event of a crash and the bike makes contact with a wall, your frame will get toasted. F4i Front ends are forgiving
