I'm wondering if anyone has a s/arm of a VFR 750 or 800 I could borrow for a few days. Just want to take some measurements and look at the design.

Also, what is the difference between the VFR 750 and the 800 arms?

Aren't they completely different anyway, ie: 750 is pre2000 CBR900 style, bolts inside the frame, VFR800 is external, bolts to engine?

I have some thoughts. I don't care about the front end of the arm (pivot point). Is the mounting for the sprocket carrier, caliper and wheel mounting the same between the 750 and 800? I believe that the 400 would be a different design Red.

If yes, then that would work for me. Cheers Rod, but I would need to have the arm for a few days at the very least as I would need to make a few drawings.

I'll need to see what's involved and make some rough calculations for costs...

Cush drive off a vfr 750 will fit the 400 shaft and arm with a little work (400 cush drive is lighter but a little to lite for my project so heance the 750 one)
