    I've never heard of someone doing that particular swap on a VFR. Tell us a little about your ideas / motivation.

    Well I've seen an r1, a cbr600, and a 636 swap. The main difference is headlight set up. I wrecked my bike recently and it's nearly impossible to find out parts so I'm going for something I like (which is the 2011 gsxr front end) on a bike that I love. I can splice in some wires to move the turn signals up to the mirrors. My main wiring problem is turning a double headlight into a single. My mechanical problem is I don't know if I need a gsxr upper stay or if I can use my current one and how to get the upper bolt to the body if I have to drill new holes or if I just modify the cowl itself.
