You couldn't be more wrong. Inverted forks stiffens up the bike and with a nice rear shock, it is a totally different animal. Handling with braking gets only better and accents performance in a manner that should have come straight from the factory. But most will find the weakest link in the under-engineered frame with flexing and there are ways to fix this.

So, are you saying I am "wrong"??? Wow, that seems pretty harsh don't ya think?
I will say you are right about one thing. It is a totally different animal. As I said before, these frames are designed to allow some flex. When you use forks that are considerably more stiff, it affects the handling of the bike....for the worse. I can attest to this. Ask me how I know?

I have done as posted before the Gsxr Front end swap. I Love it and it should have come this awesome from the factory. I have a Fox Tc rear shock and did 'Racing 905'(race) cage to take away the flex. There are multiple ways of beefing up flex points.
I am not arguing anymore about it. Let others do and ask questions as they please. To each; their own.
