theres more besides all that. sufficed to say, it would be a bit of a nightmare I think.
Well, I don't know. As I plan a USD fork conversion anyway, if I were to fit a newer R6 front end, that might have the ABS stuff prefitted, if that makes sense? As I'm not sure I understand how the ABS works on the bike (if it has a "brain", where various bits go, etc), I'm just hypothesising.
I came across this, but not 100% sure about it...

And at $80 a calliper (so 3 needed for a bike like ours), that's an expensive gamble to take.
