Noob in the Making
Okay I own a 2006 FZ6 and I love her, but the front suspension and brakes are meh. So I've searched for upgrades and swaps, but most of what I see is everyone hyping about the R6 fork conversion. :BLAA: Then there are a few step-by-step DIY for R1, FZ1, inverted forks, and even a GSX-R front end swap. But I haven't found much info going into detail about swapping the S2 (2007 and up) forks with the 4-piston monoblock calipers on S1 FZ6 (pre-2007) bikes. Can anyone shine some light on this?
I just bought a set of 2007 FZ6 S2 black forks and want to get the most info I can before ordering calipers.
So far I know that the S2 forks will fit on the S1 triple clamps, but the S1 fender will not fit on the S2 forks with custon brackets.
My questions are:
1.) Do the FZ6 S2 4 pot calipers need shims to work with the S1 wheel and rotor?
2.) Can any other 4 pot calipers be installed with the S2 forks (i.e R6, R6S, FZ1, R1)? Will those need shims?
3.) Are the S1 and S2 axles interchangeable? What about the wheel spacers?
4.) Will the S1 master and brake lines fit and work with the S2 4 pot calipers?
5.) Has anyone does this mod before and how did it work out?
Thank you reading and any help would be awesome. I will eventually end up posting a DIY with pictures for this mod if i do it.
