  2. Spain MotoGP 3 Apr 2011 22:09 I was amazed by how many riders had a shot at the podium, and then decided that it was all just too much work and that they'd be better off lying down on the side of the track :blink: Although looking at the rear tires…

  5. VFR800 track project 18 Jan 2011 01:37 kostritzer JTG kostritzer Does anyone know what the swing arm length (pivot to axle center) is on a sixth gen? Trying to get a rough estimate for what my final wheelbase will be. I don't have anyway to accurately…
  6. VFR800 track project 17 Jan 2011 23:00 kostritzer Does anyone know what the swing arm length (pivot to axle center) is on a sixth gen? Trying to get a rough estimate for what my final wheelbase will be. I don't have anyway to accurately measure that at the…
  7. 3rd gen twin turbo snippet 27 Aug 2010 23:49 300 HP!!!??? :blink: Maybe I'm just getting old, but that does NOT seem like a good idea. I know VFR motors are beefy and all but with those kind of numbers they're going to end up blowing that poor little motor to…
  8. Custom rear wheel anyone? 17 Aug 2010 17:43 [image: View Post]dallasb, on 16 August 2010 - 10:00 PM, said: I would be modifying car wheels, so no engineering. The modifications needed are land speed racing proven, narrowing them that is. I have one test wheel…
  9. Custom rear wheel anyone? 17 Aug 2010 01:17 Are you an engineer? How would you test these wheels to insure they would hold up to the stresses experienced while riding? I think it would be great if you built a custom wheel for your bike, and if it fails you only…

  12. Corbin seat for the 1200 7 Jul 2010 17:19 From what I've heard so far about the comfort of the stock seat, an aftermarket saddle isn't really necessary... no? :huh: And I agree with carlitos92, I don't think it looks nearly as good as the stock item.
  13. VFRD Thank You So Much 24 Jun 2010 17:54 Long live the Veefalo!!!!!! :laughing6-hehe: Like someone else stated, I hope more people catch wind of this story and it spreads like wildfire :fing02:

  15. What would you do? 15 Mar 2010 16:18 I'm assuming you still want to attend track days? I only ask because I can't see you taking a brand new squeaky clean VFR1200F to the track :unsure: I'm in agreement with everyone else, keep the 98 and then get a new…
  16. VTEC-SC... 2 Mar 2010 22:49 Fantastic! :beer: I was wondering when this build was going to begin :pissed: :beer:
  17. Can powdercoat withstand being used inside a motor? 1 Mar 2010 17:27 I'm going with a definite NO on powdercoating anything internal to an engine. I've powdercoated all sorts of things over the years and it's not nearly as tough as most people assume it to be. Industrial 2-part epoxy…
  18. Thinking about getting a 07 vfr 19 Feb 2010 18:19 I have an 07 that I rode year round for 2 years commuting back and forth to work about 60 miles a day. I had zero maintenance issues, and aside from the squared off commuting tire :rolleyes: it is a lot of fun in the…

  20. ducati touring 1200 12 Feb 2010 21:09 I realize it's a functional "beak" but it's a beak nonetheless, and aside from that rather large glaring proboscis I think it is a very good looking bike :fing02: Maybe the aftermarket can come up with a still…

  25. It's a PITA to build a rack to fit... 12 Dec 2009 07:00 Looks good :fing02: Have you been TIG welding very long? As a side note you need to clean the metal very thoroughly when TIG welding to avoid any porosity. Otherwise it looks like you've got the hang of it.

  27. 16,000 mi valve adjustment '05 VFR, necessary? 8 Dec 2009 21:17 $450 is REALLY low for a VTEC valve adjustment, so if he's serious about that price I might take him up on that. I'm at 28k miles without the valve adjustment and it runs perfectly. I don't think it's necessary to do…

  30. VFR1200F at Long Beach Show 6 Dec 2009 08:15 Went to the show today; VFR1200F: meh, I don't think it looks nearly as good in person as I was hoping. I'll reserve judgment until I can actually ride one, sitting on the thing doesn't actually reveal that much. BMW…
  31. VFR1200F at Long Beach Show 4 Dec 2009 21:31 I will have to do that then... ... that is to say "sit on the bike" Didn't someone else start a thread for the Long Beach show? Where did it go? I didn't see it in the "USA West" forum.

  38. 7th Gen. Vfr Group Buy! 23 Oct 2009 16:23 $50 seems to be a growing trend so next time someone updates the list, put me down for $50. I've had at least 50 bucks worth of entertainment from this site. Yes HS, we are serious :laugh: ~$1160 and counting...

  41. Will You Buy Without A Test Ride? 16 Oct 2009 16:31 I don't plan on buying one, but it might be fun to ride one around for a day. This place isn't far from where I live, and they've always rented the 6th Gen so I'm assuming that they'll pick up the 7th Gen VFR as well.…

  47. Seeking Recommendations For Winter Gloves 1 Oct 2009 20:45 Cortech Scarab Winter gloves have worked well by me, good quality and warm enough, but they've only been tested down to 38 degrees which is as cold as I've seen it here in SoCal. I've never tried heated grips but…
