That's why Joe's post are the best!...He is either very informative...or very drunk!

As far as that FXDX goes, it's sweet but I like the silver Fatbob (who's owner will remain nameless) better. Maybe Benwiggin will keep us updated on it's progress.

You could get the same result by getting the front end off a jap rocket,far cheaper too.

not true. Once you factor in the new fork internals, triple trees, brakes that fit the forks, axles, and modifications required to make a gsxr front end work, the costs sky rocket.

It's not a direct swap, by any stretch.

don't forget the brake calipers $200+ used, triple trees $200 used, all new internals $250+, machining and assembly to make it all come together $1000+.

I know he does...and I'm sure the performance payoff is even better than the looks. I'm just not sure I need it.
