Good call on the front fork mods and ditching the no cut sliders. When working as a service writer I had many bikes come in with more damage from them then if they had no sliders at all.

Thanks 1phatf4i and boredandstroked. Yeah the f4i forks needed some better internals no doubt about that. Since I replace everything with Race-Tech parts there is alot better response from the front suspension. I still need to work on the rear suspension but finding an Ohlins shock is next to impossible for the f4i. I have honestly been thinking about doing the 600rr swingarm conversion and then I can use a 1000rr rear shock. That will be a little ways down the road though. Just got my Kerker full exhaust today and got the headers fitted up. All I had time for today. Going to finish the rest tomorrow hopefully. Here's a couple pics of it so far.

If you decide to do the 600rr swingarm conversion and need any help let me know. I just did mine a few months back and still have all the information on parts needed and the exact measurements for all the bushings you need.

Ok awesome. I know I need an 03-04 600rr swingarm, rear caliper and bracket and line to the mast cyl, 03-04 1000rr rear shock and I'll have to pick up the tubing for the sleeves. I have all the tools needed.
