I will look out the total costs for my 4c8 front end, but i remember most of the costs.. So i should only be out a max of £50 4C8 forks and yokes £300, radial calipers £100, wheel and discs £120, steering stem made in America $100 + shipping and import duties worked out abot £100,steering head bearings £35, Lsl top yoke rl 2002/3) £120, Bottom yoke (r1 2002/3) £30,R1 carbon front mudguard £70. Total £875. I sold the R1 yokes to get some money back And i sill have the original front end i could sell if i needed to. Here is a pic

Looks great Nick  :thumbup
The gold on the forks lifts the look of yours nicely, but would look terrible with the bright yellow paint on mine. Very pleased to say I have bought some black 2003 forks (with K-Tech internals, don't know yet whether that's gonna be a good thing as I don't know if they're parts more suitable for R1 use, but can always change them) from Luke - bloody good man as always! 

Have you any kind of ride-height compensation on there, or wasn't it necessary with the later set-up? I'm a little concerned that having the lower ride height of uncompensated forks might throw a bit more weight on my dodgy shoulder. Dropping the bike 10mm on the standard forks hasn't caused me any grief though. Got to let Luke know if I want the adjusters.
