It's possible to "upgrade" a VF1000Re (or a VF1000F) by replacing the single pump with a double one with the corresponding oil pan from an VF1000Rf (or VF1000Rg / VF1000FII / VF1000Fg).
After you will have to adapt an oil radiator from a VF1000Rf or from an other motorbike.

On top, the VF1000Rf, at the bottom, VF1000Re :
On the VF1000Re, the space taken by the rocker arm didn't allow the cap bearings to tighten the camshaft on 360° :
Changes on water circuit which didn't goes through he frame.
