fostersice Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 ok so i have now stripped down the front end and have now replaced it with the 2006 R1 front forks the only problem i have had is the shaft on the lower yoke is to short so it looks like i may have to have it pressed out and have the r6 one repressed in its place but will not know for sure until i get a 2006 top yoke. i will keep you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fostersice Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 it had only taken me an hour to change the front end but when i bolted it up i could only get one bolt on not two when i looked into it the shaft on the R1 was shorter then the R6 so i dropped of the R6 lower yoke to have the shaft pressed out and im going down tomorrow to have the R1 shaft removed and have the R6 shaft repressed into the R1 lower yoke. i have monted up the clip-ons and the clutch and the brembo master and calipers i have some CRG leavers on there way to me and also a set of 2006 R1 wheels as i need the 320mm discs. so what do you need to fit a 2004 to 2006 R1 front end onto a 2003 2004 r6 04 06 R1 USD forks 04 06 R1 clip-ons 04 06 R1 lower yoke 04 06 R1 top yoke 04 06 R1 calipers brake lines and master 04 06 R1 front fender 04 06 R1 320mm disc's 04 06 R1 front spindle 2003 R6 main shaft repressed into the R1 lower yoke. you can use to 2003 front wheel as the 2003 to 2005 R6 and 2004 to 2008 R1 front wheels are the same its just the disc's that change. you will need to drill out the snap off bolts to from the ignition from the 2003 r6 top yoke.
