Let me be more specific, since there are a couple of issues with the swap, and you will not catch all issues at once. You have to fix issue number one, in order to see issue number two. As stated, the issues are as follow, in this specific order:

1 - Turn stoppers hitting the frame
*FIX - Grind the stoppers (not all the way down, from memory, grind down 1/4 of the area facing/touching the frame)

2 - Clip ons/controls hitting air duct covers
*FIX - Get Riser clip ons (I purchased the 1.5 risers from woodcraft) Set the riser clip ons so that they (and the controls) barely touch the air duct covers when doing full lock steering

3 - Brake master/clutch cable hits the fairing next to the fairing stay
*FIX - Cut/trim that part of the fairing

That's my experience with a FULL 600RR front end swap. The only part that I ended up ditching was the 600rr clip ons, in favor for the woodcraft risers.

With the stock F4i forks mine go almost all the way to the air duct covers. This is just a picture I already had, I think they go over a little bit more than shown here.
