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...

the rvf standard shock will bolt straight on with no mods.
tried it myself ages ago. spring seems slightly firmer than nc30 shock

Shocks are interchangeable, not mods needed.
