Likely cost you more than used R6 forks... New tubes are like $180...i bent my forks and i am looking to get new ones. i was doing some reading and i saw putting r6 forks on the fz6r, but what if i just bought the inner tube because that is what is bent, do you think that it would fit?
i think it should be alright if i swap out the whole set, but then idk if the breaks would align right. the r6s looks a lot like the fz6r but the r6 looks completely differentIf the R release is as pathetic in damping control as the older FZ6 (mines an 08), I personally wouldn't spend a dime on them. No one will ever want to buy damaged/straightened forks even with a bike attached.
Upgrade! Its very easy on the FZ6 but i dont know about the 6R....
just looking at the pictures of where the bolts are it seems like a different pattern, im not sure what floating or 4 pot means though. i looked at a different post and there was a lot involved because the calipers fender and triple tree length was different. what ended up happening was they had to customize the length of the middle triple tree to get it to be long enough to fit the fz6r, im pretty sure the wheels are the same.In early 2012 it was $250 shipped used forks from fleebay, i had oil and seals, add on $80 for the front fender & axle shim kit and thats it.
Forks and kit are the same price today.
Are FZ6R calipers floating or 4 pot? If the rotors, wheel, and calipers are the same pn as fz, you might be set.
Has anyone done this mod? Compare pn's and don't forget the fender!
