    I am deciding whether to straighten or replace my front forks on a 92 VFR750. They are bent about 10-15 degrees. Are the forks from a 94-97 model the same?

    What RVFR said and add Super Hawk - 98 to 05 too. Brakes are different though, more bucks.

    So the 94-97 forks are the same, with the same brake mounts? While the CBR and Hawk forks are the same, but have different caliper mounts? Or is the F3 also completely interchangeable with the VFR third gen calipers?

    Thanks for the help!

    Yes the current model super hawk forks would use totally new calipers for you. Somebody else would have to chime in on the F3 and 4th gen. I'm guessing but if your looking to go cheap 4th gen is probably the best bet. I would go physically look at one before I laid money down.

    4th gen forks are completely interchangeable.

    from the high def pics, it looks like the F3 forks are exactly the same, too. I just missed the winning bid on some 4th gen forks by 20 dollars, so I'm bidding on some F3 forks. I'll let y'all know if I win. And thanks for the help.

    If they are bent that bad I highly doubt they can be repaired - FYI.

    Does anyone know what I could replace the existing internals with? I'm getting tired of the mushy front end.

    I know this is sort of a subject change, but I would like to put some inverted forks on my '92 VFR 750. Any ideas, suggestions?
