    Working on some rear set adapter plates for a VTR250.

    Can somebody please measure the distance from the shift shaft center to the center of the toe rod in the same plane for me please?

    An 86 VFR is ~140mm as. (camera angle makes it look shorter).

    L to R:
    Calipers set at 4.08 inches (98 VFR)
    VTR250
    VF1000R
    1987 VFR700F
    1986 VFR700F

    87 VFR feels pretty darn good. And surprisingly so does VF1000R. Road test with those two needed.
