The F4rr Conversion

Ok so I thought it was a good time to start changing up my freestyle bike a little so I added a few things...

The parts list:
03-04 600rr Swingarm, Brake rotor, Rear wheel & linkage
05 1000rr rear shock
05 1000rr 50mm forks, Rotors, calipers & wheel (w 15w oil)
929rr Lower triple tree
Hohey Designs Upper Triple
All ***** Tapered neck bearings
Gold Vortex 50mm (5 degree) clip-ons
1000rr Killswitch & 1/4 turn throttle Housing
03-04 600rr clutch cable
Power Commander PC3r module
FMF Apex Exhaust
K&N filter
-1+14 Chromoly Steel Sprockets & Gold EK MVX O-Ring Chain(
520 conversion)

And theres more crap in the garage that I havent put on yet but people keep telling me to hurry up and post pics so heres a few so far.

My take on the Rear conversion:
Now Lets just say that when I look at the bike it "looks" like my bike, but when I got on it for the first time on sunday it is NOTHING like what Ive been used to riding. The wheelbase is almost 2 inches longer than it was with the f4i suspension on it. It is so Much stiffer and the balance point is definatley higher. It feels like Im wheelieing a streched bike. The swingarm is def heavier due to the bracing and bigger axle. Its going to take some getting used to, but I think i'll love it in the long run. Not to mention I love the way it looks now.

The front Conversion:
What can I say except that its an all around better setup than I had before. Larger fork tubes & triple clamps allow for less flex, as well as it seems much more responsive when hitting bumps and just rolling around. I havent done any stoppies on it yet, as I was babying it around on sunday. It seems weird right now because I lost about 3 inches of leverage with the F4i stock fork setup. I have also turned my clipons in some as well. They were hitting the upper when they were turned out. Other than that, everything fits just perfect & I love the Hohey Designs upper 929 triple clamp.

And Thanks to all the people who helped me with parts for this build

DOH

Well luckily my clipons are in pretty far right now so when it goes down I hopefully wont have to do this very often.


NOTE: A Woodcraft 2 piece style clipon or a zero degree Vortex wouldnt be a problem to adjust so just a heads up if ur doing this swap, DONT get 5 Degree Vortex And Flip them

Borne and I were saying the same thing last night in the garage.
Its actually a 600rr one, but I PROMISE it still has the eject button on it
I REFUSE to use a radial master on my front brakes. Ive Never had one and I never will. My front Master is VERY strong
