1980 KZ750 Front end swap CBR600 f4i Good or Bad? was created by BornOnThe4th
I've found a great deal on a 2003 f4i front end and need advice if it is a good swap for my KZ750 front end. I've looked all over the net for someone who has swapped an f4i and nadda.
Any thoughts or helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

It's sure to be an upgrade over stock. Most people seem to go with the ZX6 or GSXR front ends though. They are typically upside down orientation and slightly higher end than the f4i suspension... might be why you don't see a lot of f4i swaps, it is a budget bike compared to a superbike, and the suspension is where the budget part comes in.
As far as doing it, if you already have the f4i setup or it is dirt cheap and you plan on buying it, there isn't anything different as far as execution goes, you just will need to adjust your bushing or bearing sizes as needed to adapt these triples to your stock stem.
