One thing I don't understand is why does everyone do Suzuki conversions? What ever happen to Ohlins? No one ever mentions them...
I have Ohlins on mine for the rear and I have the internals in the front forks. I like them but I'd like to have something better up front. That's where the Suzuki style fork mod comes into play.

The Suzuki thing comes from two issues that owning a Daytona bring: suspension travel and upgradeability. The Daytona forks are conventional (as are the S3 forks, I think). Switching out to the GSXR type inverted forks gives you TONS more travel and a lot more compatibility with some of the top end Ohlins kits (some of which are worth more than my whole bike).
