Rear shock + fork for an F4i

I put a 954 swingarm on my shock after researching and hearing from over 25 riders that it swapped right over. It now handles like ass. Don't put in stuff that doesn't fit, buy a shock or have yours rebuilt, and at the very least clean your forks and put in fresh fluid. Call Peter Kates at GMD computrack or go to his forum here.
Thanks for the info. I most likely will end up rebuilding the stock, but am curious about cheap upgrades. Used parts that have life in them are sometimes cheaper than labor costs. Im thinkin the 929 front end (if the bearing cups are the same) as a bolt on would be a nice performance upgrade. the rake angle is decided by the frame. Just getting the ride hight would take some adjusting.
