My f4i project so far

600rr swingarm, gixxer front end.

Going full fairing, new plastics are getting painted. Just got the front end on today and snapped a few pics of it so far.

Thanks. Subcage fits nice. Sticks out far enough it doesn't hit the swingarm on the sprocket side.

929 triples, 636 clipons, gsxr forks,rims,rotors,brakes.

The swingarm is about 1.5 - 2 inches longer but if you move the rear axle up as far as it can go then its less than a 1/2 inch farther out then the f4i swingarm. I didn't notice any difference.

No. I'll buy a dented one if I decide to go that route.

Re: My f4i project so far

Looks real good man, I'm about to do a 06 gsxr front end on my bike and was curious to see how I was going to do that. Looks good and keep posting pics as it goes...quick question though, can you use the top gsxr triple or do you have to use a 929 one?

I just went with 929 top and bottom since i know those work.


Someone on here I read put the gsxr triples up next to the 929 triples and they are pritty close to being same width, 929 are a little bit wider. You may be able to get away with the gsxr top, I'm not sure tho.

I've heard conflicting stories with using the 600rr shock. some say it works some say it dont. The difference between the 6rr and 1krr shock is the resouvir location. Most have said the 6rr rez still hits the battery tray when put it backwards.

I didn't ride much with the stock swingarm on so I couldn't tell ya if there's a weight difference
