Which generation to use for CBR1000R subframe swap?

I'm planning on using a 2008-2011 CBR1000 rear tailsection and subframe in my next project which will entail me grafting it onto a VFR. I've decided I'm going to use a 4th or 5th generation VFR. Does anyone here have experience or a good idea of which of these bike's frames will be the best (easiest?) to do this mod on?

I imagine they would both be a similar amount of effort, and neither option is going to be easy..

As for which one to choose, that's up to you.

There have been many transplants on 4th gen's in the past, only a few on 5th gens but it may be more due to the cost as the older models can be had much cheaper.

Keep us posted if this idea goes ahead
