Great work, it good to see you can still get part for the 1999 R1. I was thinking of getting an old r1. 👍🏼

only if you are an experienced biker otherwise raw power of 1999 R1 no ABS traction control is suicidal...

So from what I’m getting it seems that a newer fork setup will almost very easily cross over. Changing the fork stem and keeping bearing that belong to the frame. Essentially swapping over the upper and lower clamp onto the older style stem ? I’m looking for a way to upgrade my 41mm to 43mm and radial calipers. Or was there machining to the triples besides the damper bracket ?

Mostly the headstem conversion and steering stops

@@hoontvmotorbikes that is awesome information thank you. So the head stem on the 09 was longer but the same thickness as the 98. So the 98 stem fit the 09 upper and lower clamps. Try finding that information in a forum 😂😂
