  1. Oil Cooler Upgrade. Effectiveness Q's 27 Sep 2014 02:31 I'm also running the RC51 oil cooler. Changed out the radiator fan to a VTR fan which blows the other way. The engine cools down much faster when you are moving but if you happen to be stuck in traffic on a hot day, the…
  2. 5th gen fork swap with F4 forks 14 Sep 2014 02:37 Reviving an old thread but closest to the topic. I put F3 insides in my '98 VFR 800 long ago & added a Penske rear shock. The combo has worked well for 100K miles but I am thinking of making a change. I have a set of…
  3. Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question - Street & Track Use 1 May 2012 17:20 I had the same issue & figured that since I was keeping the bike I might as well have the good setup. I went for the Galfer lines. Remarkable difference!!! I only use Honda pads because the HH ones kill the rotors &…

  6. Anybody else like the linked brakes? Poll added. 4 Nov 2011 16:49 I sure like mine. I have them on both the VFR & the Blackbird. Strange but I feel the front brake more on the Blackbird. Recently went to stainless lines & the brake feel improved considerably. I also have F3 fork…
  7. Angeles Crest Highway (HWY2) Sunday Oct 9th, 2011 12 Oct 2011 16:32 Ha!!! I've got a rim like that too!!!! On the way to get it fixed today.
  8. My first impressions on Pirelli Angel St's 25 Sep 2011 15:51 I just finished my second Pirelli Angel rear. I normally run Metzler Z6 rears but they have no wear bars in the center--the wear bar is the cords showing through..... Turns out that the Angel is the same. The two hash…
