You need a steering stem either from an NSR bottom yoke or a nice alloy one from Matt @ tyga.

Calipers you can either use RVF400 ones or ones from a 929/954 etc fireblade.

You will also need the disk from the RVF.

I would show pictures of the HRC forks I've just got but its 4t related and I wouldnt want to be seen to be a 4t fan ::shudder::

As Steve said you need the discs, and calipers from the rvf, the stem from the nsr. You can use the nsr wheel with vfr spindle and spacers, rvf clip ons and yolks. I had to modify the lock stops on mine, the forks are set a bit wider and they fouled the radiator cap on full lock.
The ignition switch is positioned differently on the rvf yolks which means the steering lock doesnt align correctly but still kind of works! It also blocks your view of the indicator light on the insturment cluster which means you ride around with your indicators flashing a lot Embarassed

hi mate if you look under the bottom yoke you should see where the stem is welded so just break the weld and out she pops and then just do the same with rvf stem and then weld the nsr stem back into the rvf yokes they are same width so dont worry but the nsr stem is longer i hope that helps Very Happy
