Also the VF1000's. Not sure on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Kel Posted December 2, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted December 2, 2008 Much appreciated, Darth. That's good info you posted.I think I'll stick to RC 51 rotors, to avoid the alignment and position issues. They're just a little more difficult to source 2nd hand. If I don't succeed on Ebay, I will get a brand new pair of Galfer rotors. Thanks again. I used 330mm 954 rotors on my RC51 wheel. The nice part about the RC forks is the caliper hangers are removable. I simply free handed a set out of aluminum, cost me 20 bucks for the aluminum. Shown here...ummm....disregard any unsightly fork oil....long story... Broke Bike Mountain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Auspanol, waddayagotinmind? If you want lower bars on a Vtec, CBR1100XX (SuperBlackbird) bars go on and are maybe 3/4" to an inch lower. Later CBR600s (F4 I think) went from 41mm to 43mm so they too are an option. The first Gen CBR600RR also had 43mm forks (the one with conventional brake calipers; the second Gen radial brake CBR600RR has USD forks).

Bzzzzzt! 45mm, mate. Got a set in the garage, as I'd coveted that model's pretty blue annodised fork caps for my ST1300... Ciao, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VFRdude Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Hi, I own a Vtec 2002 and want to use a CBR929 fork (330mm) Is it possible to use CBR929 brake-discs and Blackbird calipers together with the original wheel ? Or should I have a CBR929 wheel alike also ? and how about the calipers Or what is the best solution for this combination Well just figured out that I need the cbr929 front wheel, so there's only one question left now; Does a vfr caliper fits on the cbr929 fork?

AB-Oz Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 no, the VFR caliper is way different from 929... its like its made for a different bike or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VFRdude Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 no, the VFR caliper is way different from 929... its like its made for a different bike or something... Just like the cbr929 fork is .... Ok thanks anyway, you must understand that this material is totally new for me and of course I have several questions about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries :cool: Well the good news is that I've bought a complete CBR929 front now incl wheel, brake discs and calipers to continue this story and to give up DBCS Next problem will probably be the clipons...

The CBR929 forks are quite short, the best thing you could do is put on a set of superbike bars so you don't have to run clipons, this will allow you to slide the forks down as much as possible in the triple clamps, and compensate for the shorter forks. Example: You might also want to start another thread for your project, we'd love to see it as it comes together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VFRdude Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thank you very much, this is really an excellent solution :fing02: At this moment I am gathering all the parts I'll need (lots of) and when I am finished with that part of the story, I'll start posting progress pictures in a new topic. But I have to admit that I do this project together with a bike engineer but I'll ask him to make some pictures when I can't be around. Got a question though, the bars and triple used in the image you posted, are those standard parts? Maybe you have a item name for it so I can check where to buy?

Thats really a nice bike , do you have some pics of the dashboard also? so I can see the bars etc. how it looks. Maybe a complete HowTo? I would be very grateful.

Guest keith17 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bit of a bodge as far as the bars , STD blade 929 items but ontop of instead of under the yoke , and despite having no locating pin they havn't moved in 5 years of wheelies and stoppies :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-Oz Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 yep, thats how I have my 929 helibars set too. Mine only moved a bit when the bike had a nap in some gravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SAFE-T Posted March 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2010 The CBR929 forks are quite short, the best thing you could do is put on a set of superbike bars so you don't have to run clipons, this will allow you to slide the forks down as much as possible in the triple clamps, and compensate for the shorter forks. I got my bike back from the shop one year with the RC51 forks pulled waaaaay up in the triples. Not sure why they did it that way, but I rode it like that for almost two years. Turn in did feel a little nicer, and I never crashed it even loaded two-up at the Kootenay Hootenanny in 2008. So the 929/954 forks are good, even with the clipons mounted on top, using the CBR's gullwing top triple clamp. I even have a full set as back-up in case of an emergency :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jasonsmith Posted March 5, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2010 I sure wish there was a nicely laid out spreadsheet that showed what parts work with what. There seems to be healthy assortment of options for USD forks but all the other bits and what works with what.... :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest keith17 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 i started out with CBR929 forks , yokes , calipers , disc's , bars and wheel , also a 92 front mudguard ( same silver as the STD vfr one ), the only mods i had to do was remove the blade lock stops and create some new ones ( bolts through the bottom yoke with a spacer that touchs the frame ) the VFR ignition switch bolts right in place of the blade one so no probs there. the head bearing are the same so no probs there either . removing the linked brakes is very simple too .. when it comes to the controls i used Honda "FIRESTORM" master cylinders as they use a hydraulic clutch where as the blade has a cable one and mount the bars on top of the yokes , it's makes the front end a little lower than STD , but boy does it turn in nicely ... you have to have the tubes 25.5 mm above the top yoke to be able to fit the bars and postion is trial and error so they clear the clocks on full lock ... and grind off the locating tabs so it looks cleaner ..and thats it really , it's very simple . with the rear brakes just remove everything and have just a single hose from the master cylinder to the caliper and just ignore the middle piston , all the parts are already there ie: single hole pipe and single hole banjo bolt just in differant places ..it's worked for 5 years on mine with no probs at all ...oh and RACETEC tyres excellent , you'll be wearing away your exhausts and boots everytime you go out ...
