6G Fork swap & Delink

Afternoon all. I've been looking around the Forum for info on changing the Forks and Delinking the brakes. I'm aware not everyone is a Fan, but its something I'm looking into.
Will a set of 43mm CBR600F4 Forks, Calipers, and master cylinder be all I need for the Front, and is it a straight swap? For the Rear, I can run 2 lines to the rear brake using a 14mm master cylinder and double banjo bolt? I can get these parts easily if that's all that's needed.
Thanks.

 

hacking your bike up like that will cost you alot when you sell it.

 

I suspect that you will be able to re-use the 6G fork inners with the CBR lowers and maintain a stock fork length/geometry. The fork length is set by the length of the lower end of the upper connecting with the underside of the top-out spring on the damper cartridge; as long as the springs are in the same place on the damper cartridge you should be able to use the CBR damper cartridge, but you will probably be able to swap the damper tubes over to use the 6G part with the CBR inners if you need to. They are a common diameter and as long as the damper shaft is the same OD they will mix and match.

You should end up with a spare double banjo bolt when you pull out the linked parts; I re-used that to join the stock rear lines at the new rear master.

 

Thanks for the responses. I had hope it would be a straight swap. I'll measure the fork lengths of both to see if they are the same.

 

No. Not really. Nothing needs to be "hacked" and everything is reversible, you would have all the original parts wrapped up nicely in boxes. This mod is desirable to many people.

 

100% agree. When I did my original 5G fork swap, the end result looked 100% stock as they were all genuine Honda parts of a similar vintage.

 

Here's one for you....SWAP THE STEMS!
Find the front end that you like (Gsxr750 is my personal favorite), disassemble the donor and the VFR ends, take both triple clamps to a local machine shop, and have them press/swap the stems. This will allow you swap virtually any front end. The mid 2000's R6 had high and low speed adjustable dampening, and are some of the most amazing stock forks ever offered BUT I'd replace the springs for a stiffer one, given the difference in weight. I've done this with several resto-mods and usually end up paying for one hour at the machine shop. The new front end will slide right in, uses the oem bearings- so yeah...enjoy

 

riders who are modification-mad should know that some fork swaps reduce the amount of wheel deflection possible.

 

Thanks for the info. Luckily I work in a Motorcycle dismantling yard so will see what's about. Cheers.
