Finances dictated a conservative off season

Got the VFRness and Motovation sliders installed and tossed on some new rubber. Fluid changes will be this week then just chomping at the weather...

Did procure a set of Racetech 1.0 springs for cheap, but will hold until I get a solution for the rear before getting those in.

Thanks for checking SEB, appreciate it.

Any idea how that compares to the 05 R1 forks you're bolting up?

I prefer to use parts I know going in will work, but cheaper options are always welcome :)

Here is a version of that spreadsheet that I've been adding to. I have both 04/05 and 06/06 CBR1000RR fork sets at home, I will remeasure cap to center, unloaded and add that to the list tonight/tomorrow and re post.

They're not for sale are they SEB? :491:

The R1 off set is also 4mm (2mm each side) narrower then the 929/954/RC51 stems so you can not use a Yamaha upper/lower with a Honda upper/lower

Here is the link to my Gallery and list of what I have used for parts. The only update is I bought Woodcraft clipons and did a VTR1000 clutch master conversion.

I checked out the gallery and list; were you able to use the stock R1 axle with the extra space between the forks? How did the rotors line up on the R6 wheel, did they have to be spaced as well?

The only information I have is in relation to the 04-07 CBR forks from the fork length spreadsheet on this site. It shows the length of the forks as 314, which would put it betwen the RC51 and R1 forks as far as length.

Anyone attempted the swap using CBR1000RR (06-07) forks or know of a reason they wouldn't work? The length looks to be right and they come stock with the spring rate I need, saving me a step and some coin. This is new ground for me so I appreciate any guidance, hints, or smacks people are willing to share.

Thanks all, appreciate the guidance.

My plan will be to use the 929 lower with the SP1 upper combined with R1 forks, wheel, brakes, etc...a la ZRoyZ blue beauty. Will need some time to get everything together, but will try to document everything well so people can learn from, and hopefully not replicate, any mistakes I make in the process.

Off we go...

I'm trying to gather the parts list I'm going to need to do a swap to the VFR and the one thing that doesn't get much mention in the posts is what steering stem is used on the conversions. I saw that the SP1 stem works, but is that the only option? Are there any others that can be considered from others' experience?

Planning to use the 929/954 lower and an SP1 upper for triples, but wasn't sure what stems could be utilized.

Appreciate any information peeps are willing to part with.

Thanks!
