i believe they are 2001 R1 forks, I measured ride height, wheelbase, and yes, tube length. Tube length are are same. The sag is off right now because I havent had a second or third set up hands to help me set that up for me. The spring rate is right where I need it for my weight in full gear. Rebound/preload/damping all still need to be setup for me but I won't mess with that till I can get it to the track to test out changes.
Better yet, come to a midwest track and we can have a little f4 vs f4i showdown.

Nesba, trackaddix, etc.. Most local tracks up here also do their own trackdays for a cheaper price which is nice.

Hondajunkie, I still got the stock forks with the .90 racetech springs installed if your interested. You could pull them off, swap them out, then sell yours... Lot easier that way lol. I can't wait to get this to the track so I can dial in suspension better. Seems like Im going to like it. PLus its nice having something different!

lol but Im keeping the f4i swingarm though... I like the 600rr but I believe that changes the wheelbase which I dont want... Nothing is wrong with the f4i swingarm either, does its job but its just ugly... Im done with major modding the f4i now... pretty much now its just upkeep costs and fuel!

I'm doing a 06 1000rr front end swap on my '99 F4 which I race in a preinjection cup. As far as I have measured it won't change the geometry of the bike. I have standard F4 forks with öhlins internals. The forks came fra Howard Whitby's BSS 600. They perform superb, so only reason for changing is to have some different and I save 3kgs.
Regarding the 600rr swingarm conversion, there I'm affraid it will change the handeling of the bike to the worse. Maybe I'm wrong? But I have decided to change to a 06 F swingarm. Hopefully it will be a little lighter.
So for the front I don't see a problem. Bike weighs the about the same as a 06 1Krr and wheelbase is the same. I lose 3kgs and last it lets me use 320mm rotors!
