i know H models are all the same ... but is there any interchangeable parts between the H's and L's?
i should really do my research lol but im a bit puzzled where to start, looking at new discs - are they the same fit on ALL models? same with exhaust systems - downpipes all the same? does anyone have a list of parts that can be changed etc..
obviously i want parts that dont have to be cut and welded to fit, im just interested in straight swaps.
thanks. B

Exhausts do swap but discs dont or at least not without some alterations
Loads of parts to swap...........even engines

if you change the wheel and calipers the forks will swap too I beieve................never tried it myself...............others will know for sure.

Forks - nope , even if you swap everything you need the pin changed on the tripples for a H and then 50mm extensions onto the L forks as they are too short.
Ls are lower - mmmmmmmmm , L = Lower
They are also longer - mmmmmmmmm , L = Longer
Should have been a LL
Just seen a SP400 class SP that was raced profesionally and has a modified H1 arm on it to give higher corner speed with a shorter wheel base

much appreciate the info guys!
i guess i'll have to get the front end repaired then, im sure one of the legs are bent, it hates cornering in the wet turning right but left is fine - tips in a lot quicker on the right!
is it worth sending the forks off to a company to get them straightened and set up for me or would it be cheaper to get a set or forks from another bike like the 636 etc..

If you get 636 forks you could hone out the bottom clamp - you need to take out R0.5 and they will slip in - need top hats made for your axle if you want to keep the 4's wheel and speedo drive plus a couple of wheel spacers.
Fit the complete 636 front end and your left with no speedo drive.

nice one mate! appreciate the help, im used to working on Aprilia's n 2 strokes! sorry for all the questions!
final question about forks spoke to a few companies earlier asking about rebuilding my forks, do the stantions from L models fit the H's (not the slide - the bit that holds the calipers!) as they are what need replacing.
