Any upgrade parts on an RF400
« on: February 23, 2016, 07:57:27 AM »
Hi Guys

Are there any upgrade parts on a RF400 for a GSF400? I was offered a rf400 rolling chassis this morning for R800, must still get pictures. Looking at the pictures they look very similar, nothing looks better than on the GSF400 bits.

Thanks!

rear swingarm looks more rigid from pictures. it looks like it is originally from B6 or something similar. frame should have same geometry and swingarm should be swappable. engine is the same (unless it is RF400RV version with VC. then engine would probably not fit into your frame at all). And all RF400s have twin-disc front brake so it might be definitely an upgrade for you if you have single front. Whole front fork should be swappable (identical to B4 one). Clocks might be swappable with your and IMHO RF400 clocks look better compared to GSX-R type (if they fit under fairing).

The RF is my next dream bike since I found that it was made in other displacement than just 900cc.
