Qwerc Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Does anyone have experience with the installation of an Up Side Down Fork. As a Fireblade Fork, for example? I Have a VFR800 VTEC RC46/2 and like to change the fork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmatt Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I don't think upside down forks on a pre veefalo VFR are a good idea: (that just made me cry a little) Welcome, there are a lot of threads on the subject, I think the complete Fireblade (CBR929/954) front end are the most common and are a direct bolt on since the steering head bearings are the same as the VFR, you just have to think about the position of the fork tubes in the triples to account for trail. This is what I used on my '95 and was fairly straight forward. For my next project I'm fitting a 954 triple with a '06 R1 forks/wheel/brakes but for this I'm having to space the wheel 2mm on each side because the triple is 4mm wider than the R1 triple Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Vee-Ef-Ar Posted February 4, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 4, 2011 It's good to know that even upside down (or is that down under) the 5thgen maintains perfect balance under highway conditions. Pretty cool effect with the shadow too. Shame about the forks. Welcome aboard Qwerc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way it was on my '99 VFR800. I think the guys over at All Balls have done a couple of bearing replacement kits for people putting inverted forks on their VFR's.
