In short whats the big deal with inverted forks anyways?

 

better internals.

 

Could you upgrade the internals of non-inverted forks to the same caliber or better or is the benefit of being inverted much more than non-inverted?

 

Can someone explain what inverted forks are? I keep hearing about it but I can't figure it out.

Thanks

 

Inverted forks.....



Non-inverted forks...

Different mass centralization, less unsprung weight, generally stiffer, better valving, most have radial mount brakes, and they just look cooler. I'm running a 1000RR front end on my F4i. One-finger stoppies, yeah!

 

So has anybody done that swap in an 04-06 F4i?

 

all years f4 and f4i . use cbr 929 or 954triple trees. upper and lower. use 929 or 954 forks. or 1000rr forks. but you need the brakes and rim from each bike as well. use 929 triples with a suzuki hayabusa front end as well. front end will slide right into the 929 triples.

 

Hmm sounds like a good winter project for next year. Thanks

 

If your going for the looks, then spend the money on the new front end. If your going for better handling, then get the stock forks reworked with better valves and set up your suspension for you.
