Looks great! Hopefully some of us can benefit from all your hard work with a cad file.

I would love the DXF file.

You're welcome Tim... the clamps look the biz... 40mm offset is very important because it preserves the VFR quick handling rate whereas the stock RC51 offset doesn't... the only the thought that comes to mind is to gull the top clamp like the bottom in order preserver the VFR's front end height and in addition there might be enough room to hang a clip on... If you weight them post the number so I may advise prospective customers... How is the offset measured? 40mm from where?

I had to use a gull set up for my R to keep the stock stance and allow me to use RC51 bars above the triple. I love that lower! Could use it on my bike! upper

Kel, it looks like you used the 929 lower. Did it fit the frame or did you swap out the steering stems? Looks great, I'm going through a similar RC swap on to my '85 R. Yep, it's a 929 lower and yes, I had to swap stems. The R stem comes out easier than the 929's. I had to heat up the 929 lower just a bit. I then cut the 9's stem a few inches above the lower so I had a shorter piece to "wack". Wish I had a press but you do what ya gotta do. The R's stem is smaller in diameter. I welded on some material then turned it down to the correct size then reverse "wack". I think Tom cut his 51 stem flush to the lower then bored out what was left inside to the R's dimension. I haven't ridden it yet but I think it will great. really for looks but if it handles then woohoo! I've seen some fork swaps that really squat the frontend down. A little more weight on the front is fine but visually, it's a bit much for me. With my modded upper, I'm sure I can get REAL close to stock stance. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
