I have a great lead on a set of perfect condition, low mileage forks from a 2006 s2r1000 that I would like to install in my 2006 620 Monster dark .
I'm wondering if this would be a "plug and play" swap?

Will I be able to use my current 620 wheel and rotors, axle, brake calipers, triple trees and fender?
If not what parts would I need from the s2r or what parts on the 620 would need to be modified?

Any info you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If this will be a simple swap I want to act on the forks before I miss the opportunity.

Thanks,

jimi

Yes, plug & play  [thumbsup]

EDIT: maybe your axle doesn't have holes for the damping adjustment. It goes through the fork bottoms and axle. Worst case, get another axle.

I've heard that the rotor offset between the two wheels maybe different can anyone confirm if this is the case?

They are, but it doesn't matter since you're using your old rotors and calipers  [thumbsup]

plug & play.  Where have you been?

if you get them, you should consider doing the valve upgrade thing and proper springs before installing them.

speaking from experience, you won't notice much improvement because the internal bits aren't much different than the 620.

My fast lap is your sighting lap.
