Evening people, as i'm sure you've guessed, I'm new here. A little about myself and my reasons for being here; firstly my real name is Oli, i'm 23 or 24 (don't remember without working it out, sad, I know at such a young age) and I'm a farmer. I currently ride a Ducati 848 which has transformed into something quite a way off from what the Italian bods first designed. Now, i'm here because i'm planning and hoping to build a special revolving around the'Rex' and thought this might be a good place for advice, inspiration and ideas in general. Hopefully some of you will be able to point me in the direction firstly for advice upon a USD fork conversion, now i've already read that the ZX9-R B USDs go in the best but in an ideal world i'd like to source and fit USDs with radial caliper mounts. Is this do-able and is it a major ball ache? Many thanks in advance Oli

Cheers mate,
I have some quite well thought out plans already and have been doing plenty of research. I don't know if my plans would be to everyone's taste but I reckon it'll look trick as!!

HI oli, welcome to the site, USD,s are not that radical a change to the bike, many have done so.
When you say special, just what are you planing, most things have been tried, so are you thinking radical engineering changes or bolt on goodies.

It's mainly going to be bolt on to be honest, but not your average rex thats crashed into a budget bits catalogue. I think as far as proper engineering goes it'll be USD only really, unless of course i end up going big bore or internal swaps.
