The low-budget way of getting there is to fit the entire front end off of a GSXR or similar sport bike.

just talk to Kraus...that's the way to go!
this is the base kit, plus calipers, rotors, fender, and anything else you may need on the tree's etc.

it is a budget option...but also not a huge fan of them aesthetically. need to, make sure they are valved correctly as well.

Congratulations on one of the nicest FXR builds I've ever seen. Just beautiful.

I considered the Ohlins front end and Brembo setup on my FXR restoration project, but I thought they wouldn't look right on a 25 year old FXR...looks like I was dead wrong. Your bike must have incredible handling characteristics, and stop on a dime to boot!

Knowing what I spent on my restoration job, I can't imagine the fat stacks of Benjamin Franklins you parted with to complete your build. You know what...it doesn't matter, because it was worth it!!

Congrats again...awesome bike.

Beautiful motorcycle and the FXR in MHO is one of the best models ever made. I will never get rid of mine. I bet that thing really handles nicely with that front end, the brakes and shocks you went with. They handle so well bone stock, I can only imagine riding that one on some twisties.

A lot of time and money was very well spent here. Another killer build!

I didn't want to go that route..I think that lowers the bike too..Howard at Motorcycle Metal hooked me up with a pretty good package..I'm getting Brembo Brakes, Ohlins inverted front end, and black line shocks in the rear at a pretty good deal..well compared to some of the other company's I tried to get the same set up from

quick teaser...these are from 1991. CCI wheels by PM. I had them nickel plated and wrapped in Pirelli's...pretty happy with them.
