Re: r6 fork question

should fit, with the upper n lower from the inverted fork setup, but **** you wunt my opinion leave the stock forks on it, i learned to stunt on a 02 R6 and rocked it for 2 years and never had a problem with the stock forks and the dude i bought it from bought and stunts a 05 R6 and the bike forks and all are junk

yea, the R1 front end of any year, and the 05 r6 front end should do fine...'

for learning sure the stock 02s would be fine, but me and many others would greatly dissagree with the last part of this post. the 05 R6 with the inverted forks are badass, i never had a problem with my 05 forks or anything with the bike for that matter, learning to stunt and all. the bike has over 20K miles on it now and runs like a top, better than most brand new bikes out there.
