Longer spring guide and the aluminium tube underneath it for the front forks and spring spacer and thicker rebound spacer for the rear shock

Roughly how much does that conversion cost and how does the cost compare to buying new R forks?

Most of the cost for me was parts which were around £120, The rear shock spacer i made as the only place i could find one was slavens in the US.

I hate to think the cost of r forks

What height do you want as the r has 2 heights 245mm and 260mm

If you go to the 260mm its basically all new for internals and the cost spirals.

I'm 6ft 1 and find the 245mm perfect

Very nice, I would like to know more about the air filter conversion, which I guess would be easier on my 950. I have held off on this conversion mainly because I cross so many rivers and thought it would be too easy to drown the bike like this. What do you think? I changed my suspension as well and have fitted a so call progressive spring on the rear which I am not that impressed with. makes for a hard ride when not loaded but carries the weight well. Your screen is a Rade job yes? Does it work? I chopped mine off and for now it's so much better than std.
