Hi, welcome!

No, I don't think the standard shocks are interchangeable.

I am under the Impression that the Shocks are interchangable, but you need to change the Linkages aswell in order for it to work. but DONT QUOTE ME ON THIS!!!!

They have different top mountings.

The RVF shock is probably a crapper shock than the VFR one anyways...

Shocks are interchangeable, not mods needed.
