Just curious... has anyone looked into doing a whole-fork swap or an 
internals only swap with, say, the TT600? Looks like they are both 43mm 
anyway. Maybe even the daytona, but the triples and whole forks would have 
to be swapped, bumping it way past a "gold valve plus resping" job in 
price for the adjustability.

A very popular and low effort mod on the VFR is to buy CBR F3 fork guts 
and do a swap out. It helped of course that the forks are the same 
diameter and length.
