I am guessing you used the 06 triples as well, does it all just bolt together smoothly?

This was my manual for the mod:

Parts list:
What parts will I need?
The 05-06 front end swaps straight onto the 03-04 neck, so no special parts are needed.
These parts from your 03-04 can[/u] be reused:
[/b]*03-04 Wheel & Rotors
*03-04 Controls (throttle, starter module, high/low beam switch, etc)
*03-04 Neck bearings, bearing races, and dust covers (internals of neck)
*03-04 Brake Master Cylinder
*03-04 Ram Air Covers, the whole upper is fine to bolt back on
These parts from the 05-06 are needed[/u] for the conversion:
[/b]*05-06 Fork tubes
*05-06 Lower triple clamp (with neck)
*05-06 Upper triple clamp
*05-06 Clip-ons
*05-06 Wheel spacers + front axle
*05-06 Brakes (calipers, pads, lines)
*05-06 Front Fender
I lucked out and put a wanted add on 600RR.net and found a guy in state...I didn't have to pay shipping so I got a great deal. Thanks JoeRR in Westport!!

I do not know if the 07-08 will work, it was a nother total redesign so I'm guessing that it won't. But you can put the 05-06 forks on, and then add the 08 rotors and calipers for some loss in weight if you like.
Not sure about the F4i either... I'd say just get the 600RR, lol!!
