good opportunity to do the R6 fork swap at almost the same price.

Saw what looked to be a good used set on ebay last night for $75 I think. Might want to check it out.

before doing anything check out Hellgate's R6 fork conversion thread, I would trade you mine over the winter for a set of R6 forks and i will worry about the spacers if you don't want to deal with it.

HAHA!! Thanks for the laugh. I had no idea what I was going to be looking at. Wow thats awesome. I'll have to see if I can get some spacers made for them to fit!
That is too funny!

I'll see if I can find a good deal on some r6 forks. Kinda on a low budget but luckily I'll be able to save up over the winter and buy new stuff for my bike in the spring. I looked up all the parts I need to make it like new and its about $1600... But 90% of it is cosmetic.
a very wise investment if i do say so...

Do the R6 forks. Everyone is right, by the time you buy a good set of stock forks you could buy the R6 forks. I paid $189 + $50 shipping for some '04s from Canada. Well worth the cost and effort to install them.
The difference on performace and comfort is night and day, and the fact that you can dial them in is priceless, really.

See, why did you have to show those to me!! Now I have to go find extra money so I can get them. Hellgate, how much work is it? I need to replace the fairing as well so I'll probably do it at the same time.
Here's the thread on my fork install. The installation of the fork is very easy, getting the correct shims is the difficult part. That is the decision you will need to make on the R6 fork vs. the stock ones. I am planning on keeping my old ones until I sell my bike one day when I'll put all of the stock parts back on.
