porterb123 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 http://www.tsrjp.com/ I don't think they make the front end kit anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yep, and if I recall, it was about a $3000 USD add-on from them... and not completely "plug and play" either... Different brakes, etc... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think that there's been a few people that have put RC51 forks on their birds. It's a quite involved swap though, as you have to change your tripples, clip-ons, brakes, wheels, brake lines, delink the rear brakes, new front fender, changing your electrical switches, changing your throttle, etc. It would be alot of work and probably alot of coin to get it done properly.

demon Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 If you want to do it to get your bike lower, EliXXiR has the RC forks on his. Get in touch with him and he'll probably let you know exactly what you'll need. With the inverted forks, you can actually lower the bike more than if you kept the stock setup for drag racing. It involves a specially made upper tripple clamp though and it would have to be machined just for you. I think Dean (elixxir) has his about 2" off the ground.

99Birdman Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Jeff (Byrdman) has done an outstanding job of integrating 'Busa forks on his. Front end swap thread Plus, as he's said, the Busa forks are setup to carry a bike of about the same weight as the BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
