VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build
davideb23 replied to monstar's topic in Third and Fourth Generation VFR's
Thank you! I saw many cbr600rr front end swaps on the 4th gen and i was thinking about going that way. They say is almost "bolt on", the treeple trees should fit without any modifications, they also share the same bearings. I know i am going to reduce drastically the length of the forks but since i am going for a more "sporty" bike and riding position, i think with the right clearences where needed. Correct me if i am wrong. These are only informations i gathered on line. I know that a "bolt on" swap doesn't exhist, i am trying, knowing what i am looking for. to find a swap that requires minor modifications. -

Hi Monstar, i really like what you are doing. I have a 4th gen too and i always wanted to make an rc30 replica. I was wondering what front end are you using for on your bike? I read you are using some gsxr 750 s. Did you also use a suzuki triple tree? -
Different clutch slave cylinder sizes?

Do you have any photos? I will let FlyingToaster have it if he is interested too. -

davideb23 replied to Stray's question in Modification Questions
Hi FlyingToaster, i am currently discussing with Oberon, as they say they should have an option compatible for the 4th gen. They wanted some potos and the dimension of the slave. As soon as they respond i will let you know. -

Hi Seb, thankyou very much, both information and the offer. I don't know how much would it be to have the slave shipped here to Italy because of border fees. The price by itself is really good. -

davideb23 replied to Stray's question in Modification Questions
Amazing work so far gathering information, but... What about the 4th gen? Can i fit an oberon slave on a 4th gen? Searching on their site they don't offer one, so i was wondering if i can fit a slave from another honda. I've found out TSR makes a slave for the rc30 that also fits on the rc45,rc51 and so on, but is so damn expensive. -

Yes, full oil change. I'll try my best to record a video and get that noise.

Hi, today i'm here to ask some advices regarding a problem (hope nothing bad) with the rc36. The bike sat for many many years, now when i start the engine it makes some valvetrain noises and you can hear it from the front cylinders very well, the rear ones are fine. It also developed a small leak from the valve cover, that's as easy as changing the gasket. The bike has nearly 30000km, what do you think it could be? Since i'ill have to pull the valve cover i'ill check for valve lash, but some time ago i read about a problem with lubrification in the front bank due to a small oil passage. Thanks

Love the 2.0 version of your vfr. Can i ask what front end did you use? Thanks -
That's the one i read. Thanks!

JZH thankyou, i understand. n the meantime i got some sc59 coil on plugs. I got them for a future mx-5 project but since i read on the forum they can fit the vfr i really want to try them. Any advices? Other than the rubber grommets, which i was thinking about having them 3d printed in some rubbery material.

Hi Privateer, i'm sorry i can't help you, i live in Tuscany. About the city of Milan, traffic is chaotic in the center, but outside Milano there are many beautyful roads especially between Como and Lecco

About the cbr i am aware of the length but, considering the compression at ride height, it should be a little shorter than the vfr so with stiffer springs to suit my weight should be good. I was trying to find sort of a "simple" solution. At first i was also thinking about an sp1 conversion, as i saw on the forum, but i can't find any to purchase. I guess i'll be continuing my research.

Thankyou MaxSwell, i will be posting some shots very soon i promise.

Thanks everyone. Yes i was refering to the rear shock, i was thinking about a nitron unit for that. Regarding the front swap, i was thinking about an 09-12 cbr600rr because i also want better brakes. I know it can be done almost plug and play. Regarding the fairing i will be addresing that when the swap is done if there are any interferences. In the future i am planning an rc30 replica but maintaining the rc36 color scheme, with all the weight i can possibly remove. I am now waiting to install a dynojet jet kit and air filter. I already have an aftermarket silencer i picked for cheap because i will be replacing it in the future.
