You can pick up an '07 or '08 R1 rear shock for about 80 and get a Satan adapter for roughly $50 (fuzzy on what I spent)
You can have RaceTech rebuild you forks for $500 or you can buy RaceTech springs and gold valves for roughly $350 and do the work yourself
You can also spent roughly $500 on gathering the parts you need to convert the 8 to R1 forks, front wheel and brakes

DanS - any input??
The satan adaptor was $90 shipped to Texas. Like Dennis said you'll need an 04 to 08 shock and an upper mount bolt and nut. I started the install last night. It took about an hour to get the pogo stick out and the new shock in. Dicked around with the voltage regulator tray for another two hours. I have the tray rough cut and will finish up this evening.
Stay tuned... As soon as I have time to get my notes together and photos developed I'll put something in the how to section
