Default I need help with a tough decision

okay so here is my delima... i have a complete 1000rr front end sitting in my garage im trying to sell with no takers yet.... well i also have a 929rr front end on my bike.

now i know that the stunters are all over 929rr front ends

so here is the delima.. i dont wanna down grade my braking system....

the 929rr has larger diameter disks

but the 1000rr has a radial mount set up...

basically i guess im asking should i throw the 1000rr front end on my 929? knowing the 929rr front end will sell quickly? (also keeping in mind the 1000rr system is newer with less miles)

Or keep the 929rr front end on my bike and just keep trying to sell the 1000rr front end?

the 1000rr is about 20-25 ish pounds heavier than the 929 so i would think that would mean it has the better over all braking system...

but i could be wrong

Leave well enough alone and just ride that beotch! lol Obviously you like tinkering on them as much, if not more than, riding them. You should try to open a custom bike shop so you can tear into other peoples bikes and leave yours alone until you can afford 2 bikes, one to ride and one to Frankenstein to your demented heart's content. Just my $.02, bro.

One day you'll look back at all the riding time you wasted tinkering with your bikes and break out in tears.

Leave well enough alone until you can afford a project bike
