1st gen/2nd gen front end swap

Hello.
I've seen several pics of the first gen. VFR with second gen. VFR or CBR F2/3 front ends and rear wheels. Here are my ?'s:
How extenisve is it to do the front end swap? '93 on '86
Will a CBR 600 F2/3 rear wheel fit in a '86 VFR 700 swing arm with no mods?
I'm sure hoping so. This would open up a bunch more possibilities for tires, not to mention the improved braking.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!!

front money for the front end

is swapping a front end on your 20 year old bike going to be worth the time, money and effort? that is the question that you need to ask before you jump in and do this mod. rarely is any bike-to-bike swap seamless and while you may end up with a good result you have to consider that you may end up with a less-than-satisfying final product.

 

Changing to an F2 front end and rear wheel is a mod easily done if you are patient and have some mechanical aptitude. Hardest part is changing the steering stem in the F2 clamps. Chuck Crites at Cobalt racing offers this service as well as a nice set of spacers to fit the F2 wheel in the VFR700 swingarm. 160 is the biggest tire you can run and it requires the rear brake reaction arm to be notchedd to clear. BTW, I have a complete F2 front end and resrr wheel with brake package for sale for $500 but will listen to reasonable offers

 

do you still have the front end for sale??? extremely interested.
