There's no such thing as a cheap conversion. My RVF front end cost nearly £700.

Yokes @ £200
Adapter @ £80
Forks @ £200
Spindle, spacers and pinch bolt @ £40
Calipers @ £40
Clipons @ £40
Braided hoses @ £20
C/F mudguard @ £60

It all adds up. If you do decide to go down the RVF route I have a practically new adapter, bearings and yokes available.
Ducati 916, not worth a carrott

yeah i can see ow that would add up alrite.....i might be trying to salvage a front end of something else and making it fit.....if not i might look down the route of making yokes to fit!!

just wondering if anyone ever fitted anything other than rvf frontends

If your interested i can get some pics for you, there 748 forks with racetech gold valves and springs setup for a 12 stone ish rider. Your gunna need pretty much the rest of a ducati front end tho, yokes, wheel, calipers, spindle etc. Not the cheapest option but riley and smev think the conversion is the dogs dangly bits.

Anyone aware of a CBR600RR front end being tried? There's a 2009 full front end (wheel, bars, callipers etc) available locally for not bad money. Would obviously need mods at the head but I have a full machine shop at work so should be able to handle that so long as it's not a massive change. I'm not too wise on the geometry or load rating side of things though so would appreciate any comments before I consider throwing cash at it.
