We'll you've answered your question about forks

If you do the same search for your rear wheel question, then you'll answer that too, you'll not need our input :p

But everything I've read, there's not much to be gained from fitting a wider rear wheel.

fair enough what other handling mods do you recommend

Re: Which USD front, which shock, wider back wheel? Again.
 

Exactly what you're proposing on doing. Front end swap & replace rear shock

Depending on your weight, either Zx6, ZX10 or GSXR shock is your best & cheapest option

lets get the delusions out the way first. how much are you prepared to spend on:

front end

rear shock

are you after performance or tart factor?

Re: Which USD front, which shock, wider back wheel? Again.
 

all parts will be an ebay jobbie so front end im expecting to cost about £200-£300 if i can wait and get the parts bit by bit
rear shock i really dont know as cheap as possible
and i want performance with the tart factor

Re: Which USD front, which shock, wider back wheel? Again.
 

you wont get a USD front end for 2-300.

expect to pay:
forks = 150>
front wheel = 100>
mudguard = 40>
callipers = 50>
yokes = 100> (if you want to keep the naked look with renthals then you will need a custom yoke make)
brake lines = £40
wheel spindle = £30>
nuts bolts etc.etc. £40>
discs = £80>

performance + tart = lodsa cash

^ this man knows his stuff he's done a few front end swaps

If you're super lucky you'll get a full USD front end (none radial) for around £500

Rear shock is anything from £50-£100 or even £500 if you're thinking Penske.

Don't forget buying all the bits individually may look cheaper but these are all heavy items and often postage means you loose out in the long run.
