CBR600 fork first steps
So slowly I am doing this fork swap to a CBR600rr fork. I swapped the lower triple bearings to tapered roller like my bike has now.
Next step is to make spacers to allow my apex riser bars to fit the cbr 48mm fork. (apex only makes them in 50mm). Here are some pics of the spacers I made. They are steel spacers as I was concerned aluminum would distort.
I plan to take many measurements on the current setup as it handles well now. My rear end is very high so will have to lower it some.
I plan to use my current steel brake lines on the radial calipers. Will post more pics as they happen.
