Exactly. Sportbikes are extremely "fashion" driven. Underseat exhaust is a perfect example.

I believe and have read that the FX bikes have 1000rr forks.

But is it an issue of the FX bikes also having the triples and maybe the headstock from the 1000RR, or is it a straight swap?

Sorry, I realize you probably don't know, so I'm not really asking it directly to you.

I would have to imagine that the triples would HAVE TO go with the tubes too.

Pete,

Some discussion here and here but nothing definite.

As for links Draco, this is it. You would have to buy the rag to read their other speculations and check their PhotoShop skills.
