Improving RF600

I've seen some GSXR750 front forks at a reasonable price..These are 41mm, the same size as the Front forks on my RF600. Would these be a straight bolt on? and if so would they improve the overall handling of my bike. and would using the GSXR Calipers and master cylinder improve the braking performance..I'd also like some ideas for improving the rear end. would a progressive spring in the shock or a new hagon unit be better?

steering damper

zx6r b1h needs one badly. shakes it head over cats eyes and geting on the power out of turns is fun if you like stained undies. anybody recommend one and are they difficult to fit?

Lower ER6F Ride Height

My missus has recently joined me in the biking family and purchased herself a nice 2011 ER6F.She stands 5'6" but cannot put both feet down when at a stand.she is comfortable on the bike but feels if it could be lowered slightly she would feel better when stationary.Spoke to our local Kwak dealer but they just wanted to sell us a %XA3225 seat and offered no other suggestions. Any advice offered would be most grateful. cheers.

Track handling problem

I have a CBR600FV I'm learning to track ride on. I have noticed a behaviour when exiting turns hard. When I get on the throttle hard while still leant over a lot I get a wavering feeling from the back. It's as if the swingarm has suddenly developed a lot of flex and is gently swaying from side to side, which is half up and down as the bike is leant over. It's quite a slow movement maybe 3 to 4 times a sec. If I ease off the throttle a little or reduce lean a little it goes away. ...

how interchangeable?

I have an 04 gfs 600 bandit, and the front falks are damged, so was thinking of replacing them. I know some who has gsf1200 05 front forks, and was woundering if these would fit, or are the brake brackes ride hight ect going to be all wrong?

rgv250 suspension

After reading the article in MCN about the KR1S, it inspired me to revisit my first love. An RGV250 M 1992. I have purchased a lovely example and I intend to do a few track days on it. What shall I modify on the suspension. Re spring the front and buy a new rear shock, or junk it and fit something from a modern bike. I have seen someone advertising a complete R6 set up modified to fit. What to do!

Zx6r forks?

Hi all I have a few ques about my bike.I have a 97 F3 and it's purely for track use. Originally I had loads of trouble with poor brakes and brake fade. So I got pads, hoses and a better MC.This all sorted the breaks but now the forks bottom out under medium to hard breaking.Now as there 15 years old and I'd asume they've never even had new oil I wan give them an over haul.So what type of springs shud I go for linear or progressive?What weight spring should I go for?What make? Prices range from 80 -120 ...
