hi guys,
little bit of info, stock f4i forks are 30" long, most people stick 929 front ends on and they are 28" long so ur loseing 2" off your ride hight and another inch or so if you have the clipons on top.
Try this...
Yamaha r1 98-03 front end, goes straight in the 929 tripples and is 30" from top to bottom so even with the clipons on top you get to keep your stock ride hight

also they look aggressive in black

have u ridden with a 929 front end also, if so how do u like this compared to the 929 doing stoppies..

GHOSTIE

r1 front = money

i had both

da Liks

looks great Ghostie? any comparance in performance with the 929 forks?

GHOSTIE

i like it better than the 929, the brakes are great and the forks are stiffer
oh and im running a 600rr master with it and it works like a champ

F4EaSyE

those front ends prob arent in too much of a demand either hince it would be a little cheaper to get as well.. id like to ride a f4i with a r1 front end and see how i like it..

04-05 gsxr forks slide right into the 929 / 954 triple clamps too. i have a buddy that did that for his f4i. i'm not sure how high they make the bike sit though compared to the stock setting..

1000rr..... all ya do is drop the fork tubes 3/4" in the triples.


Has nice radial mounted calipers too **** is smooooooth.

kj

And if ya get one of these...

You can mount the clip ons up top and have even more room to lower the forks up to about 1 1/4".

So you can increase ride height if so desired.

Ho Hey Designs top triple....

kj

or run Dirt bars and lower the forks another 2 inches.... actually you couldn't go that far but you get the point.


this setup is amazingly tweakable.... you can get just about whatever rake/trail dimensions you could ever want.

Vetter

that thing would survive a train wreck.

kj

not tryin to **** on your setup or anything... your info is help full and good (except I don't think 929 forks are 28", I think they're 29").

Just wanted to put a lil more info out there as to other good swap options.

kj

and a couple more just for fun....

Vetter

you have to use the r1 wheel too right?

GHOSTIE

every little helps

GHOSTIE

yeah

F4EaSyE

all these front ends flying around and yet i cant find a damn top triple and axel for a 929 front end..

fifa

i have a top tripple for a 929 .. pm me

DerekMey

so do you have to have 929 tripples and axle to run all these forks??? why not the F4i triples and axle, they not the right diameter?

and also, will the axle from any these other bikes fit into the frame of the F4i right?
