    Need help the fork swap I'm doing on my 500 need bigger handle bars to work because the forks on the 500 are smaller then the forks I am putting on it are the 750 fork diameters the same as a cbr 600 f3?

    If you're talking 1983-1985 VF700/750, they are 39mm. F3 are 41mm.

    1000F/R are 41mm

    The 39mm are unique to that bike. What really is irksome, is that the VF750F pre-production bikes were 41mm and they switched to 39mm for production. It was something the test riders commented on better feedback.
