Guest John92 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hey everyone. I am starting a VFR400 (1992 NC30) project bike. One of the areas I'm looking at altering are the forks for a more modern upside down setup. Can anybody tell me what more performance orientated forks or forks/yokes can be used with the VFR400?

I know next to nothing about those little VFR's, but didn't the RVF400's have the USD forks? Might be a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John92 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I took a look around and it appear the RFV400's do have USD forks, but they will also have different yokes to encorperate these forks. So a new question I suppose Does anyone happen to know if RFV400 yokes will fit into a VRF400 frame without machining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SAFE-T Posted April 15, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 15, 2011 There was someone on the board here in the U.S. that had a VFR400 (NC30) with inverted forks ~ I think they were from an RC51, actually. Try making a thread with NC30 and/or Inverted Forks in the title and see if they show up to give you a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John92 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I have found some yokes for a RVF400 cheapish in a local breaker's. Might go get them, see if they work, if they don't. I can resell on eBay, but hopfully they might Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted April 17, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted April 17, 2011 You should have a look at 400greybike. It's a UK-based forum dedicated to 400cc imports. You can be certain that at least 50 members have already swapped NC30 forks and the various paths are well known. I haven't looked into doing that, but ISTR that RVF400R forks aren't anything spcial.
