did i get that from you also? there are alot of parts on this bike from Lake Zuric for sure
that brace turned out really nice too, i will have to post up a pic
i am tossing around the idea of an upgraded front end, i would really like some USD forks off like a newer gsxr600 or R6
i like the front end you have on the bike in your signiture, was it worth it?
did you do a write up about it on the forum by chance
thanks again for the kind words
For me the R1 was a little rough. It was a very stiff ride. However, I weighed about 150 with gear The newer R6 forks would be a good choice but the prices have been crazy for them lately. The only thing you really have to do is press out the R6 stem, make a spacer for the FZR stem to fit, press those into the R6 lower and then make a spacer up top for the fzr stem to fit the larger diameter top triple hole. Beyond that everything else is plug and play. You just need an entire front end. Lately it's been about 800+ for a total front end unless you shop it in pieces. The wheel and rotors will kill you. I will have one on my xs400 project eventually. I REALLY want a set of Marzocchi forks but don't have 2k for just fork legs and a triple. Someday....
hey Nate, do you think its safe to assume a front end of a newer gsxr or even zx6 would install the same way?

heh heh, just kidding- i do agree those came with it- i never really thought about a better way
i am having a hard time visualizing the vertical spacer and how it would fit, usually if i think about it long enough i will pull my head outa my ... and come up with something
it might be a new front end alltogether, there is something about the rigiditity and plushness that the modern USD forks offer
