Does the F2 have possible an aftermarket sealed headset to purchase, like Mtn.bikers have. That would alot of problems.

 

I run Chris King headsets on all of my bikes, and hubs on 2 of em.

I bought a set of new head bearings for my F2 - All-***** brand - I think they're better sealed than the stock, but they aren't 100% sealed.

They do bearing sets for front end conversions, and have a conversion chart. They also mention on their website that they can mix and match.

that is an awesome resource!

 

Thanks, appreciate how awesome the site is. No more crappy and flexing forks for me.

 

I talked to the guys from Allballsracing.com, they said 999 out of the 1,000 is never a problem with their conversion table that bolt up will be a cinch witht the proper bearings. I already ordered my bearings and will keep the forum up to date. So far for my new Streetkiller/Budget Racer swap;

1. New/used Yoshi Header
2. Fox twin clicker rear shock
3. Used motor w/ only 9K miles
4. 98 Gsxr front end swap(super thick forks)
5. Jumping to Stage 2 jetting
6. EBC Racing clutch
7. EBC Racing Brakes(all around)

I can't wait for Spring when I am done and rideable!

 

Hey guys I have a 91 CBR f2 600 , I want to replace the front forks with some 600 rr forks .. Is it a straight bolt in of the stem and triples ? And is so what is the 600 ,1000, 954 rr's years that are straight fit with no mods ?
Thank

 

F2/F3 uppers n triples are 41mm. Most newer forks are closer to 50mm.

The only straight swaps for an 91 F2 is a 94 F2 (upgraded internals) or f3 forks w f2 lower legs. To do any non f2 fork on the bike you will have to replace the front brakes n wheel/rotors. You'll also have to swap triples and head bearings as this thread covers. Clip ons have to be replaced too. Swapping front wheels means you will lose speedometer/odometer function cause those run off the front hub.

Just things to consider.

 

My Gsxr fork swap is done. I will send pics soon. Yes, you do have mixed match wheels. But at 60mph can you really tell?

 

Nope, but I was just letting him know what he was in for if swapping to a diff front end.

Pic would be cool. I'd love to do a USD fork, but not sure I wanna go through all the hassle for this bike. Might just put that effort toward finding a 929/954 to work with.
