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.

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
