Congrats..... I guess check the usual stuff, new fluids, stator connections, etc. I think the wee bit of rash on the left side will buff right out!!
I'm going to agree with Norse... the CCT isn't really a worry but if it needs other service already done on the Gen5, then is the difference all...
Go for the VFR, sounds like a gem with that low mileage. What's not to like! Just got mine and digging into it... can't wait for spring!

The 41mm circlips will fit, actually tend to stay fully engaged. If the ends of the wire are touching, just cut a little off, no problem at all....
Wouldn't worry about the ECU at this point.... but it uses info from ambient temp, coolant temp, etc. to determine the mixture. A bad...
I'm not much help on the damping screws... carry on with your plan is best I got.. BUT, those seal retainer rings, ditch them. Use the wire...

Talking stator only, there is a reputable Canadian supplier of stators who should back up their stuff - RM Stator. I ordered one for my other...

I am no expert, but the red wires melting smells of RR problems to me. I would skip to the end and get the mofset (BTW, you can get used FJR ones...
I don't know enough about needles and speedos, but the indicated error is not likely linear. One would have to know at what speed one would want...
