Hey Guys,

I didn't know where to post (F4i section or CB section) so I'll plop it here and hope for the best.

I'll cut right to the chase. I have an '01 F4i, I want to put the top yoke, bars and brakelines from an '02+ CB900/599F (Hornet) for a more ergonomic riding position.

I know there's kits and risers and all that junk out there but those cost in excess of $200. Can anyone confirm if this swap will work? The only info I can find is that the fork tubes share the same 43mm diameter and front end setup generally looks identical.

Maybe there's a microfiche I can compare part numbers too? Appreciate any help!

Main concerns are:
Distance between the forks (if the yoke will even fit)
Head bearing shaft size that passes thru yoke
Brake lines bolt up to F4i master and caliper

Thanks!

I was able to determine a few issues from that but nothing that would be a deal breaker.

-Fork spacing is the same (both bikes use the same front axle) which tells me the yoke should slip on
-Caliper banjo bolts are the same as well as brake line indexing
-Same head bearings; however the stem is longer (potential issue but can be remedied with cheap bar spacers or dirt bike bars with more raise)

I'll post pics as I go!

Thanks again.

 

Got any parts in or any progress? I'm interested in doing the same thing.
Is fork offset and everything the same? What about front fairing clearance when turning the bars?

 

I got the top clamp, it fits perfect. It's going to be a bit before I make anymore progress. I need to find a shop that will let me buy a bunch of bar styles and then return the ones I don't like. After that I can figure out if I'll need to extend any lines/wires.

As it looks now I will likely only need to buy the CB919 brake lines - which kinda sucks since I upgraded to braided stainless a couple years ago.

I'll keep you updated!
