Showas off a what? that makes a difference.

Been lurking on the forum for a while, I just finished up the mod myself so I'll lend a few bits of info that I found on the 796 using 2009 848 evo showa units.

1- Rotors- a good set of used 848 evo Rotors off of Ebay will work, they are 5 bolt and 15mm offset. The dual 5mm shim idea doesn't sit very well with me as it looks like the rotors are centered by the lip on the wheel
2- lower triple clamp- you need shims for these, .5 mm thickness. the lowers are 54mm, the 848 Evo SBK forks are 53. the other route is Speedy moto's complete upper and lower unit.
3- Axle- an 848 axle and nut will work, reuse the original 796 spacers.
4- Upper triple clamp- give a call to Speedy moto and get their conversion unit or mill out your original .I went with speedy moto, My own personal fear was that the original would crack after being milled. Speedymoto has 2 types, one to retain the original handlebars and one for clip on's. I went with the one to retain the original handlebars but after seeing the finished work I'm installing a set of 848 Evo clip on's I got for cheap until I can get better pieces. the original handlebars get in the way of the adjusters and clip ons just look better.
