Fork install with F2 wheel question

I am ready to reinstall the forks on my VFR750F and have a question for those of you using F2 wheels. Do you align the grove in the forks with the top of the fork bridge, the stock setup?

I did a quick check and the diameter of the F2 wheel/tire is just about the same as a stock 86 VFR750F.

Stock 110/90-16 = 19.89” diameter
F2 120/60-17 = 19.83” diameter

The rear stock wheel/tire is about 1 ¼” taller then the F2.

Stock 130/80-18 = 22.04” diameter
F2 160/60-17 = 20.77” diameter

I have the modified rear shock from Cobalt, the one with the longer lower joint. I doubt it makes up for the 1 ¼” drop from using the F2 rear wheel. I’m just curious how much others are dropping the bridge on the forks when using F2 wheels.

Thanks,
Wayne

 

Are you installing the F2 forks ?

 

No, using stock 86 VFR750 forks.
