can you roll at least 100 ft with a stock f4i front end and no steering dampner? do you at least practice stoppies instead of spinning around in circles all day? then a 500 dollar literbike front end and a 500 dollar dampner is money flushed down the *******.

Just for giggles and to show your point a lil clearer...

yes... I've rolled just over a measured out 220' on a bone stocker f4i front, no damper w/ clip ons... bout mid to top of 2nd gear (i'm geared -2/+14)... this was the 1st day i decided to try em faster than 1st gear... maybe a 200ft approach....

I suck at stoppies for distance (mainly because we don't have a good spot to practice them), but the usual is about 150' from roughly about a 100-150ft approach (top of 1st)... i'm sure w/ a couple more days practice at speed I could easily break the 300-350 range, but it's been snowing

Ask anybody i ride w/ (it probably irritates the hell outta them), I devote entire DAY sessions to JUST stoppie rolling. Over and over and over and over... it's the only way to learn em.

For some odd reason... I can roll em longer if i have a shorter approach (less room to prepare)... don't know why? Maybe it's cause I don't get to think as much about the whole thing, and pop it up quicker... but still... it's all a mind game some practice sessions.

I've had minimal seat time w/ the 1000 forks but from faster pop up speeds it seems like it's going to make all the difference as far as bouncyness and more so confidence, which I think is KEY to rolling the longer ones.

For a beginner.... don't waste your $$.... because it will be just that... a waste. Master slow rolls and wait till your pickin em up at faster speeds to upgrade....

i would say for a beginner almost anything you do to your bike beside PRACTICE on it is a waist of money. especially a front end swap.
