    I am almost finished with my FZR600 front end conversion. All I lack is to weld a steering stop and mount the headlight, my fork ears will be here tomorrow. I like the look and the handling should be an improvement as well.

    that's a beauty! I'd love to do a cafe build. Or buy a 2012 Triumph Thuxton 900 :)

    Interesting. I'm considering a front end swap, did you notice if this raised or dropped the front end?

    Using the 17" wheel and raising the tubes it is lower. I cut a section out of the kick stand to get proper height at rest. I am thinking of raising the forks even more and attaching the clipons above the triple tree today.
    I will ad pics.
