nothing on the frontend is interchangeble between f2 and f1. if you get f2 forks, you will need everything (rim, rotors, calipers, clamps, clips-ons, and fender). f2 rim is wider. f2 fork tubes are larger diameter. the only thing that will swap is the steering head bearings. the steering tube on the f2 will fit into the steering head of the f1, so if you get everything, you can do a direct swap. only things to look out for are steering stops, clip-on clearance, and possibly the key fob clearing the front fairing stay and being able to fully lock the steering.
