The front end of my bike got bashed up, so I'm looking for new forks. Somebody around here told me that I could put 929 forks on my 2001 cbr600f4i. How hard is this to do? Do they basically bolt right on? Could I use the rest of my f4i stuff on the forks? Thanks

 

929 forks are inverted...at the very least, you'll need clip ons and triples.

 

the 929 front end bolts right on
But u cant use any f4i parts with it, u need a complete front end from a 929/954 which could get pretty pricy
the best upgrade u can do to f4i IMO

 

Badass. I have to buy the whole front end anyway (clipons, fender, rim, brake stuff, etc) so I think I may just go ahead and do the 929 swap. Do you know of any write ups from people who have done it? Just need to figure out what parts i need to get from the 929 and what i need from the f4i.

 

yeah you will have to do a whole front top and lower triple tree, clip-ons, i think a new wheel, and you should be good

 

i did the swap on my bike
The 929/954 forks are 1 inch shorter than the f4i, and the clipons mount under the top triple which may give u a clearance problem with your upper or the ram air tubes, I had that problembut i have FI clipons, try using stock 929 clipons that may solve the problem
in the pic below i lowered the bike about 1 1/2 inch to mount the clipons on top of the triple and it didnt hit the anything, but the bike sat too low, ive heardof people complaining about the wheel hitting the rad from this set up so i invested in a hohey triple which solves the problem
