There are differences between Blu Spot calipers too mainly the piston sizes, some have one smaller, one larger others are two larger. Sometimes dead stop brakes are too much and you find you over brake for everthing, loosing valuable corner speed

3en2 stem was same as r6 stem so pressed in fine no machining needed, the fzr 1000 stem was few thou smaller and just slotted in, which was no good for anyone interested

now i have to make a collar for top yoke!

Brill! It's good to hear it was pretty painless. I bet you can't wait to try the better forks out :grin:

I had a quick look in the '99-'01 R6 manual and found this, should be useful to you.

Spring rate (K1) - 7.5 N/mm (0.75 kgf/mm)

Free length - 251.8 mm - Limit - 246 mm

Fork oil
Recommended oil - Suspension oil “01” or equivalent

Quantity (each front fork leg) - 476 cm3

Level (from the top of the innertube,
with the inner tube fullycompressed,
and without the fork spring) - 107 mm
