F4i front end conversion
Hey guys,
I just been in an accident and have f@rk3d up my forks. I've ben talking to a friend and he has been telling me to go with an R1 front end. Just want your opinion on the difficulty of the installation, if there is a better alternative, if it's compatible etc...
I not really good with this stuff so any input on front end conversion would be mad.

2.clamps
3.forks
4.rotors (r1 have bigger then f4-i)

Re: F4i front end conversion
Also to answer the question about the R1 front end on a f4i yeah you can put it on if you use the top and bottom 929/954 triple clamps, and the forks, brakes, wheel, rotor and axle off of a r1. Heres a pic of a R1 front end on a f4i.

Re: F4i front end conversion
I dont think the RC51 front end would be that bad if you used the 929/954 tripples would it with everything else from the rc51?

All of those are 50mm front ends. The ones I know have been used with the 929/954 triples on a f4i have been the R1,gixxer750&gixxer1k,cbr600RR,rc51,1000rr and of course 929/954. Im pretty sure would work. The only thing Im not sure about is if any of the different front ends are wider with the triples from the original front and and would have problems if the 929/954 were wider. But hope that info helped with your search for a new front end.

Re: F4i front end conversion
ya, all you need are triples that fit forks.
rc51 front end is actually a direct bolt on as is all honda front ends with other honda bikes. they are smart like that.
so it looks like you "could" put an r1 front end on there, but why? yamaha parts are more expensive and their forks aren't exactly the best suspension in the world. Honda makes the best suspension (and chassis) hands down.

Now go measure the lower triple on all them forks.... Just because they all take a 50mm clip-on don't mean they all will just slide in a set of 929/54 triples

Re: F4i front end conversion
you can use r1 and gsxr tripples with a little work
.
https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/2-s...-bearings.html
and 96-99 gsxr 750 forks slide into 954 tripples perfect no modding at all.

Re: F4i front end conversion
why do you have like 3 inches of the fork tube sticking out about the clip ons? are the r1 forks that much longer? cool mod, and Im sure you can find old r1 wheels way easier then dam 954 rims!

Re: F4i front end conversion
Just finished my 929 swap.
I've seen quite different setups on here but I'm happy with mine (HHD top clamp with db handlebars). Everything clears up in front except the headlight but anyways, all the brackets were broken so I took it off and will be running some sort of block off plate with aliexpress 13$ projector times 2
Got lucky finding the parts for the swap and the only bitch is the steering stem bearings when doing the work but don't use too much force, it is quite easy when you figure it out.
