Anyone here upgrade their suspension? Will the front end of an R6 and the rear shock fit on a FZ6R? If not the whole front end then perhaps the tubes? Or have any of you gone with Racetech kits and Ohlins or Penske rear shocks? I realize that the later upgrades aren't cheap but I would prefer to upgrade the suspension more than anything else.
I did RaceTech fork springs and an Eibach shock spring, along with changing the fork oil to 15W and adding enough preload to set my race sag to 25mm. My bike is super solid at the track, rides nice on the road, and the front end dive that was there when new is gone. It all cost me around $300 in parts. Of all my upgrades, this was by far the best.
BTW, I'm 6'2" and 195LB.
