Are both carb rubbers the same?

Simple question really, are RVF and VFR carb rubbers both the same? I've been offered some new RVF rubbers for little money but only have VFR's. Anyone any ideas? I don't want to strip the bike with the RVF carbs to see is the outside diametres of both carbs are the same, but if the RVF carbs fit onto VFR boots, does it work the other way round?

Yes, they are interchangeable mate

Jimmy Funstyer has NC30 carbs into RVF rubbes on his VFR - sweet as a nut

And I have been told that they have a tapered opening for easier installation of carburettors.

RVF ones make it easier to fit carbs for sure
