I read some old posts about people doing this to get an adjustable fork onto their FZ6R. Has anyone done this recently? I have a '12 FZ6R and was wondering what year of the R6's forks would be compatible.

It was a Valkrie! There were two guys there on those, and apparently they do track days on them a lot. One of the guys was amazingly fast on his, he blew by me on the straight like I was not even there and I could never catch him. Pretty much everyone else had sport bikes or super motos but...

Of course this technique...
