Hi there people!!
I'm new at the forum. I'm from Portugal and have a doubt...
I own a YZF R1 year 2003, 5PW model! I wanted to exchange the front fork from the newer model 5VY or the newest model (the newer R1 model with the 6 piston calipers)!
My doubt is if the forks and direct replacement because i wanted to upgrade suspension and braking!!

This is the bike i own!

Newer forks will work, think it was best to use the newer wheel too(complete front). If you wanted to use your stock 03 wheel, you have to dick with spacers.
