God i hate crashing and forks

Yeah mad to spend that amount on stock parts.

if by drqain all your funds you mean gsxr front ends are free great, cause my funds are drained, haha.

Does anyone know if a 2000 set of forks will fit a 2005 model cause if so that egay link is prob the best chance i got.

Yes pointy ones should be OK unless you have some ABS to worry about? (AFAIK, I know more about curvy!)

already bought the wrong thing once don't wanna do it again, haha

Lol!

But seriously...why spend wonga on new stock parts when you can get a Gixer front end for slightly more?

475 quid is a bit way too high for my budget and what actual advantages would you get from using the gixxer front end

It's actually £425 for the forks/yokes etc the other SRAD yoke isn't required. Apparently the Gixer front end is the best front end mod for the bike and I would imagine you'd get a fair bit back for the bits you take off that are still useable.

Cartridge internals not damper rods (i.e forks that don't lock up on a big hit, and controlled rebound damping) Also stiffer springs.

MUCH better brakes. 4 pot calipers and bigger discs. Lighter wheel. Less unsprung weight. More rigid.

Generally handles a sight better.
