Some people have replaced their forks with inverted style forks from 929's, cbr600rr's and even R1's. Inverted forks are more modern technology and perform better. I can't comment on whether it is worth it or not. Generally you have to replace the entire front end. It is also important to retain the bike's stock geometry.

Dont swap forks unless you have money to blow. I can promise you, go have your current forks revalved/resprung and your shock rebuilt at Traxxion Dynamics and you will be more than happy.

99% of riders cannot outride properly built f4i forks. I did the swap just to have something different and I had money to blow.
