yes and no ,,they have the look but not the internals of a cartridge fork you need 2003 on for that and they are shorter ,,the problem is there's not enough rebound and to much compression on the std R1 forks , when you buy the racetec they give you some very good tips , like polishing the internal damper rod ,the rebound valve comes ready built but the latest generation g2 compression valve doesn't so you go on there site and input the code they give you and it then pops out a shim stack which you then have to build ,,its an easy job but you do need quite a few tools ,like an air impact wrench,,a micrometer , and a spring compressor ,plus all the tools to take them off ,, but the end result is now a very compliant fork travel
