I have done a lot of searching and can't find any definite answers to my question. What would be the best front end conversion for my 91 F2? My definition of best would be the following:

1. - The latest technology
2. - Minimal modifications
3. - Inverted forks
4. - Better brakes

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

 

do you mean 91?

 

hahah i think u meant 91...i'd go to f4i conversion.. thats basically the newest cbr.

 

Oops, yes I meant to say 91. I also should have said that I would like to replace the front end in example; the forks, brakes, and triple tree. That type of front end.

 

The easiest is to go with an F3 conversion as this has the next generation dampers (with rebound adjustment). The fit is one to one.

However, there is one problem: the F2 has a cable speedometer.
Although it is possible to replace the entire front with better brakes and so on, you will loose the speedometer.

 

there is a thread on how to convert ur gauge to a f4i digital gauge

 

How hard would an 03 R6 front end be? I found one for $150. Any idea? The bike came with the f4i gauge already. The only thing on the gauge that doesn't work is the coolant temp.

 

the problem that youll have is that the f2 has a cable speedo, the f3 does not, you have to run it off the transmission (i believe i could be wrong) on the f3 but the f2 engine wont allow for that. their is a stickied thread on how to use the f2 front wheel and thats your best, most hassle free bet.

 

If you don't know anything about steering geometry, rake angle, etc... And you don't know how to machine parts, don't bother.

It's not as simple as bolting on a different set of forks and calling it a day (F3 is direct fit, but as mentioned you lose the speedo).
