Hey guys I have an rvf, I was told the VFR staunchions (fork tubes) fit the rvf, how ever I think the VFR staunchens are 560 where the RVF are 500 mm. Is this true? Could you use vfr staunchens and just put in different springs or something? A little help would be awesome.
Cheers.

Re: VFR staunchions fit RVF?
Wheres the best place to get cheap replacement (chinese made is ok) fork tubes... I've seen dirt cheap fork tubes for cbr's and vfr's online, i have mates with them and they can't be faulted, anyone know where to get RVF fork tubes? Cheers.
Alternatively, are cbr600rr forks a direct bolt in to the RVF triple clamp? I'd imagine some years would have to slip right in?

I would say look on the Motorcycle Specs website and select a bike with the same diameter forks of about the same weight (give or take).....thats what I do
