    REALLY??

    There are hundreds of bike salvage yards in the USA with thousands and thousands of bikes, and it would be VERY surprizing not to find your fork.

    Alternatively, you could buy new from Honda ( Ouch! $$$) of go to a site called "forking by Frank" that sells copies of OEM.

    CBR F3 tubes are the same, except some of them don't have the drain screws at the bottom of the forks. So you can't do an on-the-bike fluid change. I think the plastic guard part is different. Sorry, dunno what you call it, but it's moot anyway. All the major stuff is exactly the same, including all the bolt holes for rotors and fender. That's what I have on my bike.

    The 91-93 VFR forks should also fit. I'm not sure about the 94-97.

    Also, some of the older CBR1000's have compatible front rotors, if you ever have the need. I think it's the 1992ish ones. I got a set of used rotors for 40 bucks shipped. Woot.

    How soon do you need them? I'll be taking the forks off of my 90 in the next few weeks.
