i had 99s in 07 on my backup bike. they worked fine, they were kind of short if i remember correctly

I would go with 00-03 gsxr front end on an f4i..they seems much better rolling endos and more stronger from my experience but u will have to go with 929 upper n lower triple tree to then add gsxr forks , caliper and front wheel. you will like it.
