Last 50 of 501- Limited Edition HRC Mechanics Boxes Who remembers them? Put your hand down cause there is no such thing. Needed to finally organize my shop and get everything in one location so I picked up a few industrial file cabinets( 2 free, 1 for $25). Some paint,…
- 1986 VF1000R "New addition" making progress Love it.
- 1986 VFR700FII refresh Awesome as usual.
- RS850 Replica Cool idea. I removed the right side "cage" and left side boss from the frame for my VFR swingarm swap...no worries.
- VF400F resto-mod Those wheels are one of my favorites. Starting to come together Tom. No doubt it will look and ride fantastic. Looking forward to the finished product.
- VF400F resto-mod Wow, incredible score o the pipe and shock! Looking good.
- VF400F resto-mod Looks like fun. Don't hate me but I actually like those wheels...goes with the rest of the styling/era. Didn't Canada get those? Seems like I've seen a few here and there in several forums.
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. Love it. A beautiful example of the love for a motorcycle, that drives one to turn something mass produced into something personal. So very cool. You are already the winner.
- Honda in new Ghost In The Shell movie At least cooler than the last Bat Cycle. https://www.morebikes.co.uk/36869/behind-scenes-ghost-shell-honda-nm4-design-team/
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. 6 hours ago, jeremyr62 Do you plan on winning the race? You must have sunk a fair bit of cash into this project. I hope you are rewarded. Any idea when you think it will run? You're seeing his reward now. The journey is…
- Should have my head examined part 2....hey, the price was right! 12 hours ago, VF1000RS How many do you have so far? That makes 5 R's Tom. That sounds great and all...but really...if you're going to have a bunch of bikes, there should be a nice variety. I've been woefully inactive on…
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. I went with 2, 2-1 setup as well. Fronts together and rears together. I think this is the way to go as Honda has done it several times with their race V4's. I lost a little down low but the 1000cc makes up for it. Mid…
- Should have my head examined part 2....hey, the price was right! 3 hours ago, TheDutchy Nice one Kel.. Even a brand new collector... :cheerleader: Kel is going to do a rebuild to original ?.. SUBSCRIBED !!!! :wink: Ha...yes...believe it or not, I will actually "try" to do an original…
- Should have my head examined part 2....hey, the price was right! I hope to have it back to original and let him ride it again.
- Should have my head examined part 2....hey, the price was right! A friend of mine decided he was not going to get to his R for a refresh any time soon, his time was going into his '69 Mustang. So he calls me and asks if there is room in the barn for one more project. Of course there…
- Bikes of the future...too funny. Gotta love the internet...great find on the behind the scenes info. Maybe I'll make one for my little "Starbuck". Don't ask how many hours the helmet took to make. [image: DSCF0231.JPG]
- Bikes of the future...too funny. For a tv show with, I'm guessing, a tight budget, the engine and frame covers to simulate something else looked pretty good. Wonder what the base bike is, probably something small. Always liked the look of the front…
- Bikes of the future...too funny. At least they're wearing helmets, jackets and boots. The original boots they wore in the original run of shows('77?) were Sidi motocross boots.
- Bikes of the future...too funny. Totally agree Bryan. BSG 1980 was so chezzy. My son likes the original so we went as Starbuck and a Cylon.
- Bikes of the future...too funny. In doing some research for this years Halloween costume for my son and I, I came across this gem. Thought I saw every episode of BSG but don't remember motorcycles. [video:…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod I spent the day with the previous owner at Rice-O-Rama a few years back, great guy. It was his baby for a bit. Nice job on he repairs. Did you see his build thread? It's here if you missed it.…
- Norton V4 Anyone else see this? or old news? http://www.ridetalks.com/news/revealed-first-ever-sketches-norton-200-bhp-v4-superbike/2947/
- 84 vf1000f electrical issues Is there a more classic issue than than this? Cut the plug out and solder the wires directly, doesn't matter which wires go where. Take a reading at the battery to verify it's charging...mid 13's at idle to mid 14's at…
- 0 mile V4's 6 hours ago, BusyLittleShop Stunning!!! did you get a chance to record the VIN of the RC45??? I'd like to add it to my world wide registry... I wasn't there in person, I had him send me this pic and more are coming. 56…
- Honda N600-VFR800 Reminds me of this V65 powered Honda z600. Some incredible stuff. I've got a few spare R motors...hmm. Part1... http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/ID/1390/Best-Engineered-Lemons-3--The-Angry-Hamster-Z600.aspx…
- 0 mile V4's Yeah, I guess I'm sort of in the same boat. Part of me says they should be ridden and used for their intended purpose but that purpose was racing so had these been raced for the last 20+ years, they would look quite…
- 0 mile V4's I attended a vintage bike race event last weekend at Loudon. Lots of great old machines there getting thrashed on. Mike Baldwin was the MC. Met an interesting man while standing at the fence watching. He was intrigued…
- New tires for the VF1000F Great shots...she looks great out in the sun.
- Tank ID please Looks like a VF500F to me. Same layout out as this shot... [image: VF500F%2085%20Origine%20rouge.jpg]
- Congratulations to Corner Carver Congrats CC. Make a bunch of people better riders...please.
- Calling Dimitri - Thread Un-Jack. I have some Japanese bike magazines from the 90's. The classifieds in the back(the front?) are full of those and the 400RR's. So damn cool. I love that the Japanese guys can get some cool bikes in the lower licensing…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Dmitry Captain 80s "Dmitry, I've seen your resurrected NSR's and RG's, you are not an average Joe. A disassembled carb rack is in good hands over there." Can someone direct me to where I might see as well? I brought…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Dmitry Kel Carbs are not difficult at all, just be organized. Read this. ***DO NOT remove the aluminum plate that holds the 4 carbs together. Kel, you my hero! that is an awesome link, wish I had seen it earlier, like…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Carbs are not difficult at all, just be organized. Read this. ***DO NOT remove the aluminum plate that holds the 4 carbs together. You can do a pretty good job of cleaning without separating the carbs. The guide shows…
- Is It Irresponsible To Ride A Motorcycle As A Parent? When my son was born, I still had a need to go fast everywhere, especially with the group of long time friends. After a rather spirited ride home I realized that behavior like that really is irresponsible. It's not…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression squirrelman That's the kind of test smart riders make BEFORE they buy a 33 year-old bike. Next they look at the cam lobes, known to be a problem on many of the VFs. It would be a miracle if your carbs didn't need a…
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter Man, step away from VFRD for awhile and this is going on. Late to the party but nicely done Seb! Haven't been over to CustomStreetFighters lately either where I'm sure you had a thread.
- Words Cannot Describe... Reminded me of this from Airtech... [image: crea600~1.jpg]
- (Rebuilt) 1000R Forks Slamming Into Something Hard On Full Compression Interesting. A loose steering head bearing can give you the same sensation. Jack up the front and give the forks a hard pull front to back. I'm sure you tightened them but I always like to eliminate everything. Any…
- What Happened To The Daytona 200 Yes, there has been a real F up of governing bodies of the sport, but the REAL culprit is us. Not just Daytona, but every track saw a decline in attendance to the point where sponsors saw little return for their money…
- Could Someone Please Loan Me $184,000? There's an NR750 on ebay right now. Maybe the bank will let you have that instead. Drool factor is about the same...for me anyway. [image: $_57.JPG] Yes, and it will stomp the neutered US version of the RC213V-s as…
- New Bike, 1986 Vf500F Nice score Michael. I'm jealous. Member InvisibleCities is the 500 guru and did a very tasteful wheel swap using CBR600F wheels. They look great and keep the 3 spoke original look but a bit more modern and are 17" for…
- My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) That bottle looks fantastic! Love it. I'm not a fan of really up-turned tails that a lot of Street Fighters seem to have, but yours keeps the area where the rider sits at a reasonable angle before it turns up. You're…
- Single Nut Rear Axle Conversion - 6Th Gen Welcome to the single nut club, looks like it's about to add more members.

- Dutchy Meets The Dutchy You brought it to the right guy. Raymond knows his VFs. Did you see his Suzuki race bike?
- Vanity Plate Ideas? Mine is VFRDUDE My old Ducc was 1HOTDUC My buddies was IH855 ....Lots to choose from Don't get one that says what bike you have. A buddy had an FZR that had 5 stickers all over the bike telling you that. He got a plate…
- Vanity Plate Ideas? Don't get one that says what bike you have. A buddy had an FZR that had 5 stickers all over the bike telling you that. He got a plate that said FZR. Kind of a waste if you ask me. My current one... [image:…
- Junkyard Must Go timmythecop Also, I sold a beautiful black tank to someone but shipped it to an Ebay guy by accident. I cant remember who that was, but remind me who it was, because the tank ended back on my doorstep 8 months later,…
- Rage, Chinavasion, Peaklife Cheap Gps On A Budget I installed MioPocket on an old Magellan for kicks to see if I could do it. It was pretty cool. It used the maps that were on it but you could use other maps(TomTom etc). I was able to watch movies, play games, use an…
