Last 50 of 169- LED headlights The headlights work great! Fairly clean cutoff...
- LED headlights CF, I actually didn't get to it today! I had a honey-do list... I did decide to fix a broken tab on the annoying V piece. I epoxied a split ring for keys to the trimmed hole, then used some 2 part silicone putty to…
- LED headlights And here is the "Bondic" repair
- LED headlights I will. Bike is currently on the Abba stand...new front wheel, brakes (Brembos! Stainless lines, Brembo axial "Gold line" master), rear shock...but I am very pleased with the headlights. I bought generic dust covers on…
- LED headlights Also found some hex button head screws from 318 stainless. Just gotta get some black plastic washers.
- LED headlights Hey, got some really nice LED headlights, the kind with the little shields to make them work in regular reflectors. Popped in red LED for the dash. Changed the coffin screws to torx stainless steel numbers. Put some…
- Frankenbolt / Frankenstein bolt CMSNL still has some, but you have to search the model year. I have successfully used stainless shoulder bolts from McMaster Carr. I think they are M6. But the bolt isn't the biggie, it's the sleeve. I just ordered 10…

- Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got The 1990, that I have been saving for restoration. Owned since new[image: 1428122633_20180530_1450311.thumb.jpg.b97fa8b404fde5c98e713a6f04803986.jpg]

- A treasure trove of unobtanium bits for a 3rd gen Hey man, sorry about the accident. Never say never, but for now, it may be the right move. Where are you in New Orleans? I used to work for Semolina's over on Clearview, up until Katrina. That's when I went back to…
- Good chance I'm leaving VFRD - bike was stolen last week Dude, you don't have to leave the site. You may want to get another VFR. Maybe a a little older one. Super sorry to hear about it, though. My 1990 got stolen in 91. Savages did it by candlelight (I'm guessing, as there…
- Say it isn't so! Many good points. But the twins that are being offered are not awesome either. All the bikes look the same. I am riding an EX500 Ninja lately while my VFR is being rejuvenated. That is a nice little bike. The CBR500 is…
- Say it isn't so! Just sad, living through the 80s, made the wrong choice initially: the Suzuki GS 700ESF. Spindly tires, and peaky power that dislodged me (my own mistakes, of course) so many times. Always wanted one of the second gen…
- Say it isn't so! I can't find a single V4 on the Honda powersports website for USA!!! Its like a nightmare. Has anyone seen the soldiers parachuting in? Where is Jed?! Wait. Even Swayze is gone too! What kind of world...? All of this…
- Honda Is Officially Launching The Road-Legal Rc213V-S Later This Week At The Catalunya Motogp Race... Well, It's on the Honda website now! http://www.rc213v-s.com/ It's on Big Red's American website under supersports! But no price... Update! It says $184,000 on the spec sheet you can pull up. That like $18k/horsepower…
- 3rd gen looking for slip on The connector is different. Very different. It is made to swivel out of the way without completely removing the whole can when removing the rear wheel. I would go for the 4th gen Delkevic stainless headers.
- What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? I have had problems with aluminum sprockets wearing quickly when commuting. Especially if you get a tight spot in the chain...if you have a tight spot, and don't realize it, if it's not where you adjust the chain, your…
- That 5Th Gen Turn Signal Delay Don't know if this helps, but I experienced the headlight thing, and random turn signal response until I opened the switch unit on the bar. The solder did not look like it was touching, nothing appeared to be wrong, but…
- New Continental Contimotions review I am a heavy rider (270 before gear), and I got over 5000 on my first Conti Motion rear. Still going on the first front (about 5-6000). Recently moved to Florida, and have been concerned with the heat and riding more…
- Starter Clutch Hey, go with a new one. I rebuilt my 90VFR's starter clutch, ignoring the cracked housing. It will last a year or so, depending on how many starts. If I remember correctly (it was early 90s when I did it), there are…
- Frankenbolts Please McMaster Carr has a decent replacement. Shoulder bolt. The precision ones are about $7 a piece (precision you can get in stainless). I got some M6 shoulder bolts from Ace hardware, and had some guys in the lab nickel…
- Triumph Eccentric Swap (pic heavy) (not complete) Dude, measurements in inches? Nice. True machinist. All of our designs are done in metric, then converted to English measurements for machining in the lab I work(ed) in.
- Ticking sound... valves? That sound - well it sounds like an exhaust leak from here...do you have a stock header? You might have lost a nut. A leaking exhaust at the flange sounds like the BB sound you describe. Cheers!
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen Sure is pretty, no matter what it is!
- ??? New R&R Fits Like Crap Don't forget zip ties. You don't have to use bolts... Cheers!
- ??? New R&R Fits Like Crap Do your wires match up? Are the plugs the same? You can use it, I'm sure. They all do the same job, although some go about it in a slightly different manner. If the plugs fit, use as is, if not, you should be able to…
- Stator questions?????? Mark, you can buy all you need from member Tightwad at wiremybike.com . He may not have the stator in stock, though. No need for the flywheel replacement. Stator/Reg-rec combo will be about 300 bucks. You can get…
- 2000 VFR running great, but... My 98 makes a sound like that...I think it's fairing creek. Creeking of the fairings. Just my thought. Cheers!
- Zero Gravity Sport Tour screen Capn, At lunch I noticed my light flaring on acceleration (reflection seemed funny). Got home to check the voltage - bad battery. Bought a new one, set it to charge and back to work. No worries. My wife then had her…
- Zero Gravity Sport Tour screen Capn, I lucked out in *many* ways when I married my wife! She had the NBA playoffs on TV when I got home from work last night...she's a good athlete, into football, too. Loves baseball. Loves to ride, and smart, too…

- Zero Gravity Sport Tour screen Was able to score a ZG sport tour screen for the 5th gen for $75 with free shipping. Those Canadian guys are nice. It's RED too! Couple of minor issues: 1) first tabs on both sides were "non co-planar" - didn't line up…
- The old gal is gone... Sold my VFR this past weekend. It's a sad feeling. It may never pass. Good luck!
- Family Tradition nicely done, sir.
- Cycle Pirates 360' adjustable footpegs Quick ride report: they are fine. I don't think I will move either the brake or shift lever. They seem good. Don't use the rear often (as a pedal - the linked system uses it regularly I am told), and the shifter is good…
- Cycle Pirates 360' adjustable footpegs The Ulysses pegs are on ebay for 37.95 + shipping. They take a few minutes with the grinder, and pop them on! [image: 2012 05 14 19 34 22.614] [image: 2012 05 14 19 33 54.582] [image: 2012 05 14 19 34 10.673]
- Top VFR mod I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) Sir Helweg, I know I speak for the rest of us when I say, we would like some more detail on your case please!
- How old are our VFR owners? Monk, on 05 May 2012 - 11:03 AM, said: To help you with your wife, I'm 67 and bought my 1st road bike in 1965 and have been riding for 47 years, give or take a few when I was stationed overseas. Monk, this sounds like a…
- VFR REGULATOR RECTIFIER FIX Dude, I like it. You should write up a "how-to"! Pictures please!
- Veefers Dude, hope you made it through OK! Was that the RWB kit from China on your bike? Hope that you are physically well...the other parts heal quickly enough.
- Cycle Pirates 360' adjustable footpegs I have seen them online, but was wondering too...I am beginning a new phase of life, the motorcycle commuter phase (part III) and have been thinking about some new pegs. Just got a new helmet that fits really well, and…
- RC30 rear shock on 4th gen? Ring up Jamie Daughertry! I bet he could *make* it fit!
- Why the "buzz" about aftermarket exhaust? I cant speak for the 1200, but the Kerker that I have on my 90, and the TBR models I have seen/heard make the bike sound to me like a late70s/early 80s Camaro. An old Chevy small block 350. I usually like the looks of…
- Bailyrock was right... WHERE TO BUY SUPERTECH FILTERS NOW? [image: View Post]VietHorse, on 25 April 2012 - 12:17 AM, said: We don't have Wallmart in Vietnam. :rolleyes: Yet.
- 5th Gen High Mount Question You can buy 308ss in 6ft lengths on ebay for about 30 bucks. You can find almost anything on there. be careful what you ask(search) for!
- 170/60 rear tire ? [image: View Post]Baileyrock, on 05 November 2011 - 07:43 PM, said: Hey Don, Sounds like you got it figured it out! Now the 4th gen VFR used a 170 on a 5" wheel, but all other VFR's from 90-09 run the 180 on a 5.5". BR…
- Motorcycle is apparently a raptor. Cool lookin!
- Another discussion about wrist pains Try out the grip puppies! I put some on, just to try, and really like them! You ordered them, put them on right away!
