FZ6 - R6 Fork Mod
I'm putting this page up so that it will be easier for people to get the information about the R6 Fork Mod. Below are all the pictures and information I have about this mod. I did not create this files or this mod, but I house them on my website so that others can have easy access to the information. If you want an east download of all these pictures, please click here. Included in this zip file are 2 files with the name Shims.eps and Shims.ai. These are for a program called "mastercad" which is used in machine shops.
Update: Brake Caliper Spacer Shims - You can pick up the brake caliper shims from a website called http://www.mcmaster.com . The part number you'll need is: 93475A280. These can be used in place of having a machine shop make you a set. You will need 4 and you will probably have to order in the set of 50. They are still cheaper than having a set of 4 made up, so check it out.
