have been a bit of a lurker for a while now, I am truly amazed by some of the knowledge on this site. Yes I know you've heard it all before, gush gush gush, but some of the projects from people like Toro and Veefer and many others have inspired me to try some of these mods out myself. I used to look at the English site but its nowhere near as interesting or informative as here.
First on my wish list is the front end fork swap, several have done this mod with forks from R1's to SP1's and GSXR's. I would like to do the Sp1 swop.
I have searched the site extensively and found loads of useful stuff. But questions.
Ok I know I need the sp1 lower triple( sp2 doesnt work), 929 top yoke( upper triple to you lads) sp1 forks, brakes.
Do I need the sp1 wheel and fender also or will the vfr combo work?
How can I tell the difference between the sp1 triple and the sp2 triple?
Have found a set advertised but they claim its suitable for both the sp1 and sp2! Its also in German, I live in Austria now and am still learning the language and guess what, its a lot more difficult to learn than it looks. :P
May take a while to get all the bits together, as and when money allows, but I'm determined to do this. You lads sure get cheap parts over there. $50 for a 929 shock? If I can find one second hand to begin with I'll be lucky!
