Hmmm Looks to me the cbr600F2 as 1990 cbr1000f has same offset, as in picture below the 1000 upper triple on the 600, both on the fork tubes

Thanks for this information, for some reason I did miss you post. When you say you could have used a later VFR upper triple you referring to a 5th gen? Interesting if it has same offset. How much is the offsets difference between the 88-89 VFR triple to the cbr600/1000/vfr750 90-> ?

Well finally remembered to buy some white wheel paint (in spray can), so orginal the rear wheel is white again, not that pretty but will do for one season Then could not resist this CBR600F front as got it for price of wheel Came whit brake disc's but no calliper's, tire is rubbish (well used 020 Bridgestone dot 09) and spring adjuster is broken in other leg's cap, but otherwise solid. Interesting is that the triples offset is same as on 1990 CBR 1000F, easy to find out as I have the parts Here 1000 on top of the 600s. So as the 1000 is a bus compared to the 600 the sharper angel as lower profile tire make the 600 dance sharper. A other difference is the 1000 lower triples has the longer steering axle that the RC24 use if I'm correct. So even I'm in for keeping the 16" wheel for now, might do a fork upgrade in a future...

Rear end back together whit fresh rear tire in correct size

So small progress on the XT350 The old swingarm if taken of whit shock as linkage The good swingarm is painted The spring on the rear shock I bought was slightly corroded as the adjust ring, so did change them from the one that was on bike, in picture the corroded spring as damper that has damage from the to big studded tire The front brake M/C needs more than just new scruvs for the cap, a rebuild kit is ordered.... Next the decompression level oil leak, could be done when engine was tilted backwards in frame. Other than that a simple jobb to do, a bit cleaning an back together whit new oil seal Did pull carbs apart and ultrasonic cleaned, needs new o rings so still a part that needs to be ordered.... List becoming longer than hopped. Now I sure wounder what this small box is for, looks like connected to the horn 🤔 Need to check the wiring diagram...

More parts arrivals today. For the XT350 a missing part And for the Bandit 600 a not perfect but for money good tank, yes wrong color as has a small dent but good enough to use one season, then repaint next winter I need to start working on the bikes now. Still picking up a few small parts tomorrow from a local store, then just to start working
