    I am looking for information on changing forks on 6th gen.
    I would prefer upside down forks and looking for complete front end swap compatability.
    anyone??

    Go to vfrdiscussion.com. There have been several done, in various years. Most use the RC51 SP1, but the forks are a little short. I preferred the 2000 R1 forks, a little longer. Use the RC51 SP1 triples or the 929/954 triples. Only limit is your imagination.

    Well, it isn't a USD, but I just finished swapping in an F4i front end on my 5G,
    you can read about it here:

    And - since you're in MA, send me a PM if you'd like to connect to see it and ride it.
