vfr800 wheel swap on f3 issue
Hi guys, new to the forum and motorcycles. Not sure if there is already a post on this subject. Im picked up a 98 cbr f3 a couple months ago. The front wheel was demolished and the forks were bent. I purchased a wheel for a vfr800 and forks for an f3/f2. I installed the forks, but realized the rotors were not compatible. So, I bought the rotors and installed the wheel only to notice that the caliper bolt holes do not line up with the forks. Is it possible that I purchased forks for an f2? Is it possible to do a fork swap that would upgrade the front end? Any advice on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
do they look like this with no compression or rebound settings on them?

or do they look like these forks and have at least a compression setting?

After looking at your photos, it does look like I have f2 forks on my f3. I guess they are too close in to tell from an ebay ad. So, what are my options at this point? I have already spent close to my budget just buying brand new rotors for the vfr800 wheel I have.
