Front end follow up to recent R6 shock upgrade

[Camshaft]

Just raised the forks through the yokes by 11mm to compliment the recent R6 shock upgrade.
I had to make a couple of 11mm spacer/bush's to sit the GYT-R bar blocks on as the underside of the bars gave only a 1-2mm gap to top of fork adjusters. I removed the studs and replaced them with zink plated bolts as couldn't find any longer studs from various fastener suppliers.


Now tomorrow for a ride to see he she feels  :rolleyes

For anyone interested that hasn't done this mod I recommend it. First corner taken you will notice the more direct turn in with the bike lower up front. Got to know the diff better today with a 200km ride through some familiar twisties and am glad for this mod recommended from Devilsyam from memory. A Tuono passed me on some corners and then he couldn't get away from me over a 4km set of corners up and down a hill. No bad for a gen 1 beast not to be shown the door by a late model italian fighter.

This is the best mod to be done, and makes a remarkable difference to the way the bike handles.many thanks again to Devilsyam for mod.

I also fitted the R6 shock a few months ago, and was really pleased with the difference in handling.
I've now fitted new k-tech fork springs, re-filled with fresh oil, and raised the forks through the yokes 12 mm.
I would say that it's the same difference again.
No diving under braking into corners anymore, and much quicker steering in the twisties.....

A big, big improvement for 300 quid or so and a few hours work.....

Cheers.
