Yes

But if you are trying to run them on an F4i front end the discs will be too big. At 330mm or almost 13" exactly the 929/954 rotors are probably an inch and a half bigger than F4i discs so they won't fit where the F4i caliper mounts on F4i forks. I don't know what you're trying to configure but there are lots of little cans and can'ts when swapping Honda parts. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Nice! I currently have the complete 954 front end on my bike. I'm swaping back over to the original f4i front but want to keep the bigger brakes.

Thanks for the reply!

I don't know why you would want to lose a 954 front for an F4i front but I'm sure you have a good reason. With the F4i front you will have to go back to F4i rotors. Calipers are the exact same they just mount in a different position for each bike. 99% sure of this.

He's probably not stunting his f4i. The 954 front end will not allow you to keep the plastic air-ducts on the bike, because the clipons mount on bottom of the triple (unlike the f4i front end). Most peeps that run the 954 front end stunt it and either put DB bars on it or they keep the air ducts off. So IF he is streeting the F4i, then yeah the stock f4i front end is the way to go. Unless he wants to keep the air-ducts off the bike (which is fugly, IMO). Hell i still have another complete 954 front end in my shop thats just sitting there collecting dust. Was going to put it on my ole ladies minty 01 f4i. That is until i realised how retarded her bike would look without the ducts, LoL.....Also for the street, the bike doesnt handle near good enough to even tell it has a 954 front end.........So all in all.........He's doing the right thing, IF he's keeping it on the streets.....=-)

You're saying the 954 front doesn't help or noticeably improve handling on the street? I've heard other opinions that say the 954 front was all around better and the feel was obvious. I thought even you mentioned that a while back. I've got a 954 front on mine but haven't finished the rest of the bike so it hasn't been ridden in months. I know its beefier for stunting but figured I might be in for some better feedback and handling when riding. Although I must admit when I got into this I wasn't expecting better handling I was just replacing crashed parts.

I am not saying you cant notice the difference. I am saying the guys with "small" experience will not notice the difference that easily. Yes those of us that have ridden F4i's and 954 for years can tell there's a difference. But to 90% of the guys in this situation, IMO it would benefit him to just go back to the stock f4i front end. The 954 front end holds up better to stunting, the seals dont blow as easy. The front wheel is 1lb lighter than the f4i wheels. And when doing the stoppies, the 954 front end is more stable.....But to just an everyday street rider, the f4i front end is the way to go....Now if u wanna street/stunt it, the 954 front is the way to go...............Theres is a reason when Honda didnt put the 954 front end on the F4i to begin with...=-)

Don't forget the F4i front is ugly as hell when not covered up with plastic.

yeah just your basic street riding for me. tight spots/ parking lots suck with the 954 front end... it does look cool but it rubs when full lock too...
