:) Yeah, I looked at that and was wondering if you still have it. I will PM you shortly.

I wasn't aware of the wider fork spacing, so thanks for that one. I've got a brand new CBR1000 (not sure year) rear MC that I bought for another project and never used but I think it's ⅝" (16mm) so it might be a bit touchy.

Having done the deed...parts is parts..... .....Stock 5th gen parts > Wheel, axle, spacers, rotors, axle bolt, fender....need fender bracket fab. ( I used to make these.) 5th clip-ons, triples .......VTR Parts > Lower fork legs, axle clamp bolts... - I upgraded the springs and valves. > Brakes - RC51, F4i, CBR600, 954, match the master cylinder - makes it easy.(mine are RC51) Custom brake lines (Mine are Spiegler, they are local to me.) Notes.... Minor grinding needed on lower area of calipers and lower fork leg mount boss....Top of mount is fine. (Bolt from up top, swing down caliper for areas to work on.) 1mm spacers needed on back side of calipers to get the pistons more centered.. ( I'm running a common off the shelf hardware washers, there was a time I was going to grind up some custom washers, but after a while, it didn't seem needed.) 5th gen triples are wider stance vs VTR triple Don't forget to change the rear master cylinder to 14mm (F4i, RC51, CBR600, VTR) This job is a delink project too so all that gear comes out. Some photos are in my gallery

The axle and spacers do not need to change. VTR cartridges/fork caps are much the same as VFR certainly from a dimension, threadsize etc perspective, and the damping parts are just the same (with an added adjustable rebound bleed) so just as poor, and you ought to at least get a GoldValve for compression. VFR springs would be OK but you may need to adjust the spacer length, some PVC pipe is perfect for this. Or buy some decent springs from Somic, Racetech etc that are specific to your weight. Use of CBR calipers requires removal of a little of the lower mounting bracket on the fork, a few minutes with a hand file. They also need to be spaced off the fork by something like 2-3mm, I used a couple of SS washers superglued in place. You should definitely get a master to match the calipers, to keep the correct hydraulic ratio. You can't use a VTR guard as the fork leg spacing is different on the VFR (wider) so use your VFR guard and make up some small brackets to mate to the VTR legs.
