Here's some pics of the bike i spotted on the 'bay
Not the clearest but it looks like standard yokes with R6 forks, wheel, discs & blue spots......

Re: R6 front wheel options
Fit it all up and see what you get then, but you might need some different spacers for the front wheel.

Re: R6 front wheel options
Hey guys
I took some pictures the other week comparing the difference between fzr400 forks and r6 ones.
I'll get em up soon. I only took rough measurements but i dont think any different wheel spacers will be needed if there is a difference its very small maybe 1 or 2 mm.
Any how i'll get them on the computer and see how they look.
cheers and happy new year

Re: R6 front wheel options
Any free play in the front wheel is a big fail so make sure you get it right

Re: R6 front wheel options
You will need spacer or spaces or you'll bow the forks when you tighten the wheel spindle. This will make the fork action tight, which will be a MOT fail or will at least heavily wear the fork bushes.
Let the forks lie natural in the yokes with the wheel on / spacers fitted and insert the wheel spindle loose. Make up spacer(s) to get rid of end float and allign the centre of the wheel with the stering stem.

(Sorry its far too close to bed time to faff around resizing the images so for now you'll have to copy and paste, sorry theyre a bit shit.)
Not really for nicks benefit (sorry dude!) but for anyone who's interested these pics show the difference between the two forks and the different yoke offsets. As to what i said earlier about not needing new spacers thanks for picking up on it plodder and evil. I did wonder whether it was wise putting it like that, what i was thinking in my head when i wrote that was that you might not need new spacers machining up but simply shaving a bit off the r6 ones. I havent got an r6 wheel off hand to measure the width properly so i cant say. Its not far off which you can kind of see in the crap pics i took.
cheers everyone
