Guest Everydaybiker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Greatings VFRD Awesome forum this is ! - I am all new to the VFRD but impressed by the builds, topics, and people on this forum. Im am from Denmark and driving a 750 RC24 FK, 1989 I plan to make some changes to the bike because i found that another frontend would do the bike more justice and found a complete frontend from a CBR 900 sc33 that was cheap. After finding VFRD i was wondering if any of your guys have done a swap similar to this and have any ideer of which headbearings and changes that are needed to complete this swap? As the FK has the 3 spoked wheel i also wants to change the rearwheel and has been offered a wheel from a CBR 600 F2. any experience with this ? Does this wheel fit the shockcluch and chainwheel and so on ? The rear wheel is primarily optical I also wonder if any of your now where to get a kerker mufler like the Rainey bike use to have ? - To build a replica of his bike - just in the original red is a dream of mine :) Thanks Rasmus Bjerg, Denmark P.s i attached a pics of the bike with the frontwheel from the cbr 900 testfitted in the old fork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hello and welcome to VFRD! The head bearings are the same size as your new forks, but, the new steering stem is too short. You will need to fit your VFR stem into the SC33 yoke. This will require machining. I have done the same swap, and I have a spare modified set of triples. If you are interested, I am willing to sell them. This would allow you to bolt in your new forks easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTM Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Kerker silencers are rare in Europe but a search on ebay will eventualy produce some. I managed to get a pair for £40 after about 1 year of searching. They are a bit damaged but I can make one good one out of the 2 damaged ones. Finding a left hand side exiting exhaust will be the biggest problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
