Did my R6S fork mod and shinko raven tires

[Ben_H]

Installed my R6s forks and front fender and installed shinko ravens went down one size in front to a 120/60zr17. Bike feels awsome smooth and no nose dive when braking. also turns much faster with the smaller tire. Tires got good reviews but we will see in the long run.:thumbup:

? Can't say I can see them

 

[Ben_H]

sorry did not work

 

[rino60]

Do you have FZ1 bars on that beast?

 

[Ben_H]

yes fz1 bars, R6 cam shafts and manual cam tensioner, +1 on front sprocket. bike is so much smoother and power band is real nice.

 

[rino60]

Sweetness.

Very nice. The R6S forks are the ticket.

What do you think of the motor with the R6 cams? I assume the cams are from an R6S.

Get some SS brakelines and HH pads, your new front end will thank you.

 

[Ben_H]

they are lot smoother through the power band. yes 03-05 r6 or 06 up r6s are the same cams. i have adjustable sprockes but did not use them. after seeing the the torq was only 1.5ft/lbs I was worried they me move on there own. I seen it happen many times in cars. also they are not easy to get to.

thats the main reason i bought a set o r6 cams as well but i have not yet fitted them. i was told i need to change the exhaust and must install a power commander. did you change the exhaust for this mod or yours where already there? did you install a power commander?

the forks are nice and must handle better than stock ones...someday maybe someday i ll swap to r6s forks

nice bike btw very clean with nice upgrades

 

[Ben_H]

i have a akrapovic exhaust but no power commander yet. I adjusted the co and worked great

 

[Humperdinkel]

Great looking bike mate & an awesome first up mod :thumbup: You will like those Raven's

 

[Ben_H]

I hope i will like them. I bought the bike new in 2008 and just did some mods at first. This i did a lot forks cams exhaust seat and a top case and side bags

 

[koolcat]

did you have to do any major modifications to get those forks to fit..is it as simple as pull the stock forks out and slide those in with stock trees?

 

[Ben_H]

Forks just slide in and use spacer kit on axle and calipers

 

[FinalImpact]

Bike is Sweet!

Q? I don't see the adapters on the fender bracket so is that a stock R6 fender and thats why you went to the smaller tire on the FZ rim?? Stock R6s springs???

Thanks in advance...

 

[Ben_H]

Yes r6 fender and hyper pro progressive springs handles awesome turns fast.
