Forks 750VFR??

Post by neurosyndrome »

Hi everybody,


I'm wondering if the forks (I mean the tubes) of VFR750 92-93 are the same than our nc30's later type forks :idea:
Or maybe, it could be the same than VFR750 86-87?? 94-97??

I hope someone will be able to reply :pray:

Thanks all :grin:

[1] 86-87 are 37mm, 88-89 are 41mm but far, far too long.

There about 60mm longer than the NC30 tubes If I remember rightly..

VFR750F fork tubes were 41mm OD (same as NC30) from 1990 to 1997, but much longer than NC30. CBR600F from the same era were also 41mm but generally even longer, but Firestorm VTR1000F forks are a little shorter than VFR750F. Probably not enough to not poke through the top triple clamp, though. Longer is usually easier to deal with than shorter!

CBR600F forks might be very similar to the CBR400RR NC23 forks as my old man used to have an NC23 with 600 forks in it.
