Fork Fitment? Anyone know sizes?

I have a 2003 vfr800, and need a set of forks. I am curious if anyone knows the measurements of the fork sizes. I am also wondering if forks from a 1998 vfr800 will fit up to my 2003? Anyone know if this would work, or of anywhere I could pick up a set of forks for less than an arm and a leg? Thanks!

 

not sure with the fitment with 6th gens but I do know that the other part of the equation is the lower fork legs, as you'll need to match up the brake calibers too, so I'd say you're going to have to stay with 2002 and up, or do a whole other swap say rc51 for example which would include the whole front assembly.

 

Thats kinda what I was thinking. Is the rc51 a commonly used bike to mix and match parts like that from? Or is there a better option for fitment? I dont want to sacrifice the upright seat position (with the elevated bars) and I wasnt sure if there would be a better option for a different bike to mix parts from. Thanks!

 

Thanks a ton. I think I may just hold out for a set of used forks. I just wanna get on and ride and that conversion would def take me some extra time. Thanks! You don't have your old forks laying around anywhere do you?

 

Is the rc51 lower tripple a direct bolt on. or will it need to be machined other than the steering stems on an 03?

 

I seem to recall f4i forks are also 43mm, not sure on length though.

 

See ive already got rc51 master cylinder, and calipers, steering bearings, and stainless lines.

 

There's a couple threads on this on VFRD, check the modifications or 'check this out' forum. I put the whole RC front end on, the RC steering stem goes right in ('00-'01 SP1) with the RC bearings. I found a set of Cyclecat clipons that are probably between the stock rise and Helibars.
