I have these fork legs in my stash that I thought were CB1100R units because of the red sliders and the quick release axle. Turns out that upon closer look they must be VF1000R units as they are much shorter than the R forks. Has anybody, by any chance, ever tried to put a set of these in a CBX?

I do believe Dr.Tom is running a VF1000R front end on his race bike.

Interesting! Can't really tell for sure from the pic. These may be VF1000R sliders, but he must have changed the tubes to a longer version. Look how much space he has above the upper bridge. He has clip-ons on it and the tubes still stick out.

Yes It looks long but remember he is running 17" rims and has the eng raised up 1" in the frame, which I think allows him to play with the ride height some at different tracks.

i also have fitted a cb900 919 hornet rear swing arm, 5.5"-17" rear wheel and now run a 190/50R17 shinko 010 rear tyre.
engine has been taken out to 1300cc with head, cam and crank work.. carbs will no longer give me as much fuel as i need.. thinking of going to fuel injection.
has any any of you guys done this and what may my best result be????
regards steve..

EMS and Stefan Jung are the guys you need to talk to about fuel-injection.

We will definitely need a follow-up report including pics when you get things sorted out.
Big carbs, big engine, upgraded suspension...it sounds very interesting.
