WOW!!!! How much did that end up costing you?? Thanks for the detailed info.
|
$300-ish for the forks (900 calipers fit 916 and early 748 forks)
$125-ish for wheel/spacer (900 rotors fit the 916 early 748 wheels) bought braketech axis later on
$100-ish for sbk front fender
$25-ish for the 748/916 speedo drive/components
$300-ish for cycle cat upper triple... or you can bore out stock triple for pennies
$300-ish for cycle cat rips... you can sub other bars for less... i eventually picked up the cc for the 900ss and put the modified clips on my S4 before there were clip ons available for it.
you can do it on the cheap for about $600 or spend the dough @ $1000 and up depending on front wheel/rotors/calipers/forks you want.
if you have a CR w/marzocchi's and plan to keep it, it's worth the cash imo... if you have an SP maybe not depending on condition of forks. SP forks were not easy to find 7 years ago but the superbike forks were/are plentiful; that may have changed as more bikes retire. back in 2000 when i did the conversion folks where asking $800+ for their used SP forks, so it was easy for me to justify the better superbike components.
to me it was worth it because i don't plan to ever sell the ss... i just add to the stable.
remember these are 10 year+ old bikes...
