then finish it off with a pair of fireblade 6 spoke alloys.....mmmmm
make sure you get a 17inch front wheel tho, they are a straight swap and look a lot nicer imho..... :thumbup:

Why not just get your forks valved and sprung for you, slap a fork brace on and you've a decent front end for little money, plus to get the best out of the blade forks your gonna need to spring and valve them up aswell!

As for shocks, keep your eyes peeled on ebay and the Superhawk forum, they do often crop up, I just pikced up a nice Penske shock from the us a few weeks ago for not alot of money!

I also looked down the Cbr600 shock route as mentioned, however when I spoke to Roger about it he warned me to steer well clear and stick to a proper aftermarket shock!
