SP1 Front end conversion

[slipper 1]

Will an SP1 front end fit straight on to the Firestorm or is there modifications required? Been offered a front end at a sensible price with wheel and brakes, etc.

if it's the same dimensions as the cbr954 front end (50mm fork diameter)then yes it will fit, the only issue might be clearance of the clip-ons with the bodywork{forks are shorter in length than firestorm ones}, i got around it by buying riser clip-ons from china only £70.
do a search thru the workshop section, i'm sure someone would have attempted it before mate............

Thanks for that. I will need to do a bit more research.

don't forget you would also need a sp1/2 or cbr 929/954 front mudguard aswell, a lot of people say your better off spending £100 on a good set of progressive fork springs and some fresh oil, it's reasonably cheap and it's supposed to do the trick..............

The SP1/SP2 forks are slightly longer than 929/954 units (are, in fact, same length as stock Storm forks). You will likely have to move the rads back ever so slightly to retain full-lock for turns. For detailed write-ups on how to do it, check the Superhawkforum. It has been covered in depth many times.....

Good luck
