  3. 4Th Gen Fork Options 16 Jun 2016 11:02 1 hour ago, Trevor Mine is not complete, waiting for F4i axle to arrive, then it goes to my Mechanic to be all fitted up, will take some photos then. Here however is a pic of the KR750 (4th gen) that zRoYz built, using…
  4. 4Th Gen Fork Options 16 Jun 2016 09:24 47 minutes ago, Trevor You do not have to swap fork stanchions to keep the same geometry, the VTEC and VFR750 triples have IDENTICAL offset. All you have to worry about is height. So working on a 20 mm difference in…
  5. 4Th Gen Fork Options 16 Jun 2016 07:33 19 minutes ago, Mohawk Yes CBR forks are a bit shorter than VFR forks, but many people have used them as is with NO adverse effects. The VFR has a very conservative geometry, so will be fine. But if you want the…

  7. 4Th Gen Fork Options 16 Jun 2016 05:18 6 hours ago, Trevor I'm not convinced you need the ( 2002-2013 ) VFR800 VTEC uppers ( wait and see how mine turns out ) ;-) The method I'm using, as in complete F4i forks is both tried and tested, that bike is prob…

  9. 4Th Gen Fork Options 15 Jun 2016 11:43 21 hours ago, Mohawk Almost all Honda RWU forks are Showa. They use a common thread in the fork top & common clearances throughout. The simplest way to upgrade your forks & not worry about length would be: To use a set…

  12. 4Th Gen Fork Options 13 Jun 2016 07:15 dogman, 2015-12-18 at 1:17 AM Most sportbike triples have less offset than the VFR750 (30mm as opposed to 40mm) which increases the trail and slows down turn in so you need to drop the front and raise the back to…
