Wanted - R1 front forks conversion set complete
« on: 27 June 2020, 02:26:11 pm »
Hi


I would like to replace front suspension on my Gen 1, anyone have a complete R1 conversion set for Gen 1 they want to sell?


Thanks
Ian

Have you spoken to Gaz1978? I know he has a set but I think you would need to get a top yoke machined up.

I have a separate ready-made top yoke (with all the bits to fit Fazer Frame/ R1 shocks). That might be helpful together with Billy's suggestion above.
I also have a complete R1 Triple tree (but without the required mods)

Hi guys, Since I was speaking to Billy I have decided to try the R1 conversion so will be keeping the forks for the time being.


Sorry 🤷‍♂️
