Direct replacement / swapable parts UPDATE
Fork springs –
Rachtech sells straight wound springs .75 kg/mm upto 1.0 kg/mm
Stock VTR spring rate is .58 kg/mm
VFR800 98-01 Spring rate = .75 kg/mm
SV650 Spring rate = .70 kg/mm (straight)
F2/F3 Spring rate = .65 kg/mm
Other stock springs with higher spring rate than stock VTR and are direct replacement:
Yamaha Seca II
Yamaha YZF600r
Suzuki Bandit 600
Suzuki RF600
CBR929 and CBR954 Master Cylinder
F3 Brake discs
F3 and VFR forks (will fit, but caliper mount may differ)
CBR900 Front end (we’re talking the triple tree, forks, wheel, discs, calipers)
F4i Calipers
VFR800 98-01 Bars (close fit to fairing, shims will help)
Rear brake rotor from F3, F4, CBR900, CBR929, RC51
THERES MORE, but being unconfirmed I will not post just yet!

Replacement Forks...
I'm curious to know if anyone happens to know where I can just a replacement forks my 03? I've seen some guys who've replace there entire front end, but it seems like that may cost more $$ than just replacing with a used/new original part.
Thoughts? Help?

98-99 CBR900RR forks do not fit as a straight bolt-on (wider spacing and larger diameter brake rotors will require some modding).
Also, I believe that F4i calipers use the same outer casting as the RC51/929/954 models, which means that a slight bit of grinding is required to get them to fit.
