rvfto Cbr600rr 09 fork front end swap

[ASK1]

Hey guys i was just wondering if its possible to use the standard 600rr yoke and triple clamp on the rvf if not can it be modified to work eg machiening

[scooble]

the usual answer you will get is "why would you want to do that, you might as well buy a 09 CBR600RR".

However, typically, the only usual difference is in the length of the stem. I've done a front end swap before (on another bike) and it was simply a case of pressing out the old stem and pressing in the new one

Well the RR forks are a lot better than the rvf forks so it is worth doing and there is some info on the forum somewhere regarding the swap but pretty sure its just a matter of swapping the rvf stem into the cbr yokes.

Well my standard stem is bent along with forks and bike is intended for track use. does anyone know the length of the rr stem and the length of the rvfs

It is NOT a simple swap. Be prepared for some serious machine work, or contact Mike Norman in the US. He sells custom yokes to fit RR forks to your headstock. Not cheap, but well worth.

I can tell you the RR yokes will not work in anywhere near standard trim, mainly because of steering stop issues.

Someone on here used daytona 675 forks on their Nc35. They fit right into the yokes. 50mm up top and 52mm on the bottom. I'm not sure how he worked out the brake rotor spacers.

I'm sure on the Rick oliver price list there was something for fitting CBR 600 forks

Mike Norman can get you hooked up, from memory when I asked him for the price a few months ago it was around $750USD for everything minus bearings I think.

Hi

It is me who has the 675 daytona forks on mine, bean also followed suit shortly after

Stock rvf yokes, 675 daytona forks are in + showing 5mm through the top on my race bike
675 street triple forks are slightly longer but can be bought a bit cheaper, street triple are black + daytona are gold

the difference was like night + day, forks are incredible with massive feel + adjusters that realy do something also i run yamaha r1/r6 calipers, not saying the stock calipers are bad, far from it but the radial brakes are a world apart when realy demand the most

well worth it but dont pay what people seem to think rvf yokes are worth
sellers seem to have some illusion that stock rvf yokes are worth £150
bean bought his billet yokes for £200 delivered with stem + they are very tasty

any problems give me a shout
James

oh also using stock discs, just need to sort out wheel spacers, stock 675 spindle as its the right length + 20mm diameter
