Member Contributer kostritzer Posted February 7, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 7, 2011 Anyone know what the stock triple clamp offset and fork spacing is for the 05-06 CBR600RR? Thinking about using one of these front ends on my project, and have heard the offset is closer to the VFR offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted February 11, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2011 The fork offset of the CBR triples is 30mm. I hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps! is that for the 05-06 Jamie? I know the 07 & up are 30, but I'd heard the 05-06 were different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I sold my 05 front end that I had on my F4i, but I can contact the guy that has it and ask him to measure it. Will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted February 11, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2011 That's I have in my notes. Pretty much everything that is "track ready" uses 30mm offset. All of the CBR's, GSXR's, etc have 30mm fork offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Just to note, the 05-06 600RR has an oddball fork size. Fine if you're transplanting the whole front end, but if you were thinking of mix & matching forks and triples it's a no-go. The 05/06 forks are 48mm up top.

I know the fork spacing is pretty narrow compared to SP2/929/954, at least on the 07's. Makes sense that the offset is the same between all the 600RR's.

In my notes I have that the 600RR's are actually wider. I'll need to double check with a spare set of triple clamps but I believe that to be true, at least compared to the 929/954.

SEBSPEED Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have an 07 in the garage right now. I should be able to pull the top triple and measure it this weekend. That doesn't necessarily help you with the 05-06 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer kostritzer Posted February 11, 2011 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think the 08's I have here are about 204-205mm, I don't have a super accurrate way of measuring them. I just remember trying to line up my 600RR upper with my RC51 forks and SP1 lower and the upper was definitely narrower(obviously the top fork diameters were off too.)

I just have a lower at home that I took some rough measurements from, I also have an 08 600RR, but its kind tough to measure them accurately on the bike.

checksix Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have an '06 and just went out to the garage with a tape measure. The distance between fork tubes, measured at the centers of the top rebound adjuster screws is 205mm. The distance from the line connecting the fork tube centers back to the center of the steering stem nut is 30mm. Hope that helps. Edit: and the fork tube diameter at the top triple clamp measured as 48mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ALL of the dozen or so Honda triple clamps I've measured are either 192mm, 204mm or 214mm.) Tape measures have their limitations... Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted January 1, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted January 1, 2012 Resurrecting a slightly dusty topic: 5th gen VFR numbers are what? 40mm offset and 204mm fork spacing? Are there benefits or detractions to changing the fork spacing? What is the reason the newer CBR Thou went to 204 from 214? Or, if you were trying to make a custom set of triples for a 5th gen to retain the stock offset would you stick with the 204 or go with 214. Maybe to more easily fit a wheel in there?

Member Contributer JZH Posted January 2, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted January 2, 2012 I can only speculate, but I would think that fork spacing is most likely determined by mundane matters like the diameter of the forks and the width of the wheel hub, whereas offset is an important part of determining suspension geometry. I don't think fork spacing would have any effect on handling, but maybe someone knows different. Honda sportbike fork spacing has generally increased over the last 20 years, but it seems like the '08 1000RR has gone back the other way for some reason... Sorry, I have no access to my stuff for another couple of weeks so I cannot give you the measurements off my 800Fi triples. 39.5mm and 204mm are what I have written down, but I'd like to re-measure the offset, just to make sure it's not actually 40mm.

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted January 2, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted January 2, 2012 I can buy 39.5 mm for the offset. Radius of the forks is 20.5 mm, radius of the stem is 15 mm, that leaves 4 mm between the edges. I don't have a way to accurately measure that, but it fits by laying a straightedge on the 4 mm mark on my tape measure and across the fork holes.

kostritzer
Anyone know what the stock triple clamp offset and fork spacing is for the 05-06 CBR600RR? Thinking about using one of these front ends on my project, and have heard the offset is closer to the VFR offset.
