FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

I figured since ive replaced the rear end might as well get the front started or atleast get somthing going , which leads me to this


The person is stating that they are Mint 2008 R6 LE gold forks ,is the 2008 even out yet??? in the picture it showed basically the forks , front axle , lower triple , brakes im assuming and clip ons with levers and master cylinder , hes asking 325 for the setup but im wary .. if the bike is so new ..what happen to it that you salvaged the front end off of it .. i emailed him offered him 200 told him they are for my brother who just crashed his bike and didnt have insurance ..lolol well see if he has any sympathy , im thinking all i have todo is get top triple and wheel and and spacers have somone press the fzr stem and magic .. if it only were that easy though .. ill see what the guy replys

A complete front end like that usually go for $600+

yes the 08 is out

the 09 is out next weekish technically, atleast its being unveiled then!

You'll have to pull some magic to get the FZR stem into the R6 tree, the stem will be too small.

If you get this set up, I'm going to be really super jealous, especially at that price.

Go for it! I havent even started my swing arm and you have me looking at forks for my bike already. Dern you!

the guy hasnt contacted me so i guess he isnt buying my offer .. but being that they look so sexy i might just go ahead a give him what hes asking for .. im more worried about the machine work involved and how much that will cost me then these forks and wheel and tire and aftermarket clips and such......

if you can get a 636 front end from 03+ you wont screw up your trail and rate at all...most people dont care about it but its nice when your bike handles good.

reason i did the 636 front end swap when i did the yzf600r rear swap.

been looking around all kinds of front ends , cant find the right one for right price because im thinking the machine work is gonna cost as much as the parts them selves

From the thread China_1 had about his bike, he used a sleeve that pressed into the new lower clamp. Im sure a machine shop could do that for you in no time and for fairly cheap (probably just labor).

PMF,
Down boy down,even if he did bite the trick would be to get the upper fork clamp (DO NOT ASK ME HOW I KNOW !!!!)

If you want to fix the forks then buy cartridge emulators fro YSS although they call them PD valves & a linear set of springs, set them up according to the setup I used you will not be disappointed and all for about the price you were willing to pay for that money pit front end.

IF you want front ends Ducati's are too short from the Monster & the 996 (I have a spare set of each waiting to go on my race RD's back home ) GSXR USD forks with a wheel I understand looks stock'ish but up to date technology, trouble is every on & his mother is Gixxer crazy.
