Veefer800Canuck Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Upper triple clamp fit the stock forks? Not a chance. The stock VTEC fork tubes are 43mm, RC51 upper triple has 50mm holes. That, and the spacing/offset is all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobie1dog Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 thanks oh well i saw a pair on ebay and figured what the hell Not unless you swap the entire front end anyhow! There is a guy here locally who is doing that to his 2002 VFR. The guy at the Yamaha dealership just told me about him on Saturday. Supposedly he got a Ohlins front fork set off of a RC51 and said it is an easy swap. I'm going to get in touch with him to get pictures of it.
