what do u think would perform better. a respring and Racetech gold valve, or a cbrr upsidedown fork?
i have an 01 f4i that i use as a trackdays only bike.
anyone know if the f4i wheel would work with a newer rr fork? i assume the rotors are dif?

 

Respring and valves.

 

I agree. Changing forks would change the factory suspension design and the f4i was raced for years with the factory tubes. I'd go with new internals and call it good. There are a couple of guys on here who have done inverted swaps though who might beg to differ.

 

im gonna be turning my bike into track only and was looking at the exact same thing, but i am wondering if the cartridge kit is available from race tech for out bike, anyone know?

 

Hi,

From what i know it is available... Check out their site... They list it... But they don't mention the price... I think this will be the best solution for your bike...

what is the big advantage with the usd forks over the traditional? i no they flex less, but what about the internals?

 

id get some 08 600rr triples and forks for a f4i. Theres a link/dogbone that changes the geometry of the suspension to make it a little stiffer with a little less slop and it raises the rear. I stunt but it might help a racer

Depending on the 600RR fork, the rake will not change, and the trail is changes is minimal.

I too agree that F4I were raced for years, but so were steel frames before the F4Is, and carbs were used, etc, etc.

To answer OP questions, a respring and Racetech gold valve will outperform a straight up OEM inverted fork swap; however an inverted swap + respring and Racetech gold valve will outperform the respring and gold valved F4I forks. LOL, that last sentence is close to not making any sense

 

i have 1000rr (inverted) forks and triples im selling for 225 shipped... if your interested

 

I have a F4 track bike that only see's the track.

I have all the proper upgraded internals and love the feel. I would highly recommend you do the same and DO NOT swap out front forks for inverted RR forks. That's for posers and stunters to do. The f4i has a very sweet chasis feel to it. Do not play with honda's engineering.
