Rc51 Top Bridge On Cbr929 Steering Stem? Will It Work?
Rush2112 posted a question in Modification Questions
Hi, There is soooooo much info on here relating to fork swaps and I have read most, but not all. I'm looking for confirmation that a 2004 RC51 top bridge will work with a CBR929 lower triple and steering stem. I know the offsets and fork tube sizes are right, it is the steering stem mounting through the upper bridge that concerns me. I'm building a 5th gen VFR track bike and the 929 steering stem and lower triple came today and there is a lot of room where the stem extends through RC51 upper triple. I have to order all the hardware (bearings, nuts, seals, etc.) none of that came with the used parts. I don't want to order more parts and find out it won't work and I have to back track. I'm appealing to the collective wisdom of the VFRD Borg to help me answer this before I move forward. Please let me know if you have insight or answer to this question. Thanks! -

Pretty excited to have all the new parts together working in harmony; EBC HH pads, Ducati 848 Evo muffler, fibreglass pipe wrap, CBR929 gauge cluster, Yamaha V-Star 650 headlight, suspension by Jamie Daugherty, +2 rear sprocket, All Balls steering head bearings. -
Got a shiny modded CBR929 shock from Jamie on Friday and am trying to put it in. Bike is a 2002 VFR800 non-ABS. Everything involving the rear suspension is bone-stock. No troubles getting it in the general area, but I cannot get the reservoir to clear enough to bolt it in. With the reservoir to the rear, it's hitting the battery/wire tray on the left side, and the exhaust heat shield on the right. With the reservoir to the front, it hits the brake lines that wrap around the cylinder head on the left side. It is much closer to bolting in place with the reservoir to the front, but because of the brake lines, it's a total no go. I saw several mentions of having to trim the battery box to allow the shock to clear, but I don't know that I can trim it enough (already trimmed ~0.5in off) to get it in. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I'll be out back working on it some more. Will update if I manage to hold my tongue *just* right and get it in.
