Hello! I was looking all around the forum to find any thread about the complete front end swap to a CBR 954 on a 5th gen...without success... I have now the opportunity the get a complete front end from a CBR 954 for a quite good price, inculding front wheel, both triples and brakes. The RC51 front end is almost impossible to get here, and the prices are sky high...so thats why I'm asking. What I did find though: -Wheel mismatch (I dont care much about it, as I would also change the wheel, and the brake disc is covering a lot...and my wheels gonna be white which also helps a bit.) -Helibar problems due to size mismatch (I have touring handlebars, so also not a problem, I know I will have to make some machining.) -According to an excel chart which I recently find on the forum, the CBR has 724mm fork length, and the RC51 is 730mm which I also find here. So I guess length should not be a problem, if i use the wing shaped upper triple. What else than? Are there any disadvantages? I have also read that the RC51 and the R1 quality is better, but as I have said before, the prices are horror... Please help me out in this case as I have limited time for this good offer. Many Thanks in advance! Regards, Pumee
