I don't think the RC-51 upper triple will work for this mod as it is too "flat" to work with the shorter RC fork tubes hen used on the VFR. That's...
I would estimate around $2000 for my swap - maybe $2500 by the time I got the radial brakes and the upper triple factored in. I went with...
Yes, it works very well for that because of the increased offset down to the fork tube clamping area. Its also a very beefy part compared to a...
Yeah, that's one I used. It really is a high quality part and lets you mess around with all types, bends and rises of bars until you find what you...
Thanks Mello!!
Thanks Gary. I'll post some more pics now that vfrcapn has filled me in on how to do it. Itsreakkt not that hard to do and the results are well...
I'll check the dimensions for you, but the general idea is the same. Both have a "gull-wing" design that drops the fork clamping point compared to...
Thanks Capn. How do you get the pics to show up? All I could get was the link to Photobucket. I would like to post a few more pics.

Hey Capn - yes I do. I'll try posting one on the weekend if I can figure out how to do it. I'm not that bright..... :-)

Thanks. The fan upgrade made a difference, but not huge. I also swapped the fan switch with the Nissan Pulsar part discussed in the forum for the...
Thanks - this is good information!! I tried the DOT 5 in my bike after I delinked the brakes and I don't like it at all. I'm rebuilding the...
Not you Bubba - I meant TooMuch!!
Wow - this is embarasing!! Good thing you can't type in crayon.......
I'm gonna give it a try in the next few days. This whole picture posting thing has me baffled. Hopefully I can figure it out!!
I didn't modify the SP-2 forks, but they had been revalved prior to my purchse of them by an RC-51 suspension specailist in California. There is...
"I'm a mechanic, not a computer programmer!!" Please read this quote with a Dr. "Bones" McCoy accent... :-) Actually, I'm neither a mechanic or a...
I did the swap last winter and I love it. My avatar shows the results. I used SP2 forks, SP1 lower triple and stem, All Balls roller bearings, and...
Hey Smokey - that's pretty much what I did on my '99 except I went with RC-51 forks. I used a custom upper triple from Stuntsteel that allows...
