Evening all

Quick one, whats the easiest front end to fit to the storm with the minimalist of mods?
is there anything that will fit in the standard yokes or is it a complete swop in?

cheers

The 94-97 fireblade is the easiest to fit and get hold of as you only need
Yokes
Forks
Front wheel spindle and spacers
Clip ons or risers and renthal bars

Another thing to consider is that the forks should be modified for the weight of bike and rider as they are not originally set up for a vtr. However this could be said for the original forks anyway. Don't let this put you off though.

The blade front end was originally a mod performed because under hard braking the vtr forks started to flex. I mean really hard, top level racer hard.

Now it's performed almost entirely for visual 'performance', which is reason enough.
No bike (yet).
