has anybody tried 01 929 forks on there 01vfr. i made the swap it made the bike handle great,and the stoping distance cut by a third! tunable too.:thumbsup:
Ummm... More details please. Are they plug-n-play? Any modifications to the bike or new forks required? Price? Difficulty of installation? Thanks KC-10 FE out... lane: :usa2:
forks were off my basket 929. i had to put handle bars above the top tree like the stock forks. also as we all know vfr brakes are linked together so i had to put both rear brake hose together on top of rear master with the long bolt that links front hardlines to rear, and thats it other than tuning. bearings are the same,and tree heights match. the only problem was the three spoke front wheel cause vfr axle smaller must use 929 wheel.very eazy swap but dont tell honda they said i could not do this.dont forget to reinstall the vfr ignition in the 929 tree
only takes bout hour half after u get the complet 929 fork. that means every thing that comes on 929 fork ,brakes .with rotor.hoses ,wheel. and fender. the only interchangable parts are tire,controls, and ignition switch. oops forgot to mention have to grind the turning stops smaller on the top of the bottom 929 tree
Dude - if your useing the stocker master cylinder in the rear, it wont be enufff brake there. Youll need either a 5/8" or 14 mm MC in the rear. Good luck! What no pics? MD
bike is in storage 750 miles away. rear set up has not changed other then removing the link betweet front and back braking dosnt feel any dirrent in the rear then before
I'm confused when you talk about removing the ignition. Doesn't that mean you swapped the entire triple tree?
Pull your fork caps off the 929 forks, and push the front wheel all the way up to full compression(bike on centerstand, jack under headers). I'll bet you a 6 pack of PBR and a bucket of owl snot that your front wheel/fender will hit the front cylinder head, as it will when under full hard front braking.
planning trip back to cali middle august to pick up bike ,will take pic then and post.ride hight if i remember right was .625 inches higher at bottom of faring.ignition switch was unbolted from bottom of both trees and swapped out. the fork tube on the vfr is set forward from the headset 1.0 inches, the 929 is 1.25 dont remember having clearence problem even with a passenger.
