Suspension AdviceSo heres a dilemma.... I own 2 R6's.....one for the track one for the street. My track bike is basically a 2004 (but built in 06), my road bike is a 2005. I want to get the forks worked on for the track, however the street bike has inverted forks on it. I'm thinking about swapping the front ends, but that would also involve buying a bunch of stuff to put the normal forks on the road bike. Is it worth all the extra effort to get the inverted forks reworked for the track? Or will the standard forks fixed up be just as good. |

Suspension AdviceValves and springs will do the trick on either set. I doubt you would notice a difference if you had the two setups side by side on the track. It's 90% rider 10% bike. |
