Last 50 of 53- I am going to shut down vfrd soon Wow, I just got back on... hoping to share some stuff. Sad it'll be gone. Thanks to you and all the members who have helped and inspired me to stick with my project. Hope there is some way to access the archives?…
- 4th gen usd forks, best and easiest fit? Don't mean to thread jack but since we're on the subject, are the K5 1000 or K6 600/750/1000 forks longer? I'm not sure if I'll keep the suzuki frontend longterm. That all depends. Are the RC51 forks that much better…
- 4th gen usd forks, best and easiest fit? 4 hours ago, RacingTomato Now that’s what I need to hear ! The tubes on my 4th gen need a retirement plan ... please share or link to your thread Here is what I have... keep in mind, I bought the bike with this…
- 4th gen usd forks, best and easiest fit? 11 hours ago, RacingTomato What year GSXr 750 and what triple for that set up I have a K5 600/750 setup on my 4th gen. I have all the info if that's what you're looking for. On a side note, how long are the K6 600/750…
- 4th Gen Adjustable rearsets Danmoto CBR900RR These are basically new. Never used just mounted. I bought them and they fit fine but at the highest level they were barely higher than stock foot position. I wanted more height so I ground some material from the bottom…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 3 hours ago, The Phantom This is a cool project 👍 Can I make a suggestion - plumb your clutch cover breather up and into the airbox, you're going to end up with an oily mess where it is. Thanks. Yeah, I have forgot to…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Decided to use the stock front header tubes, the rear TBR header tubes and make the system slip together in case I wanted to run the TBR or stock system in the future. Made the left side first and it's been pretty…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build luigi, 6/24/2020 at 1:36 PM Battery and electrical stuff position looks very nice. Ciao, Luigi. Thanks Luigi. Received exhaust tubes and I made some miscalculations so I'm waiting for the correct size and lengths to get…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Quick update: Bored and finding things to do. Wired in a few things. Oil warning light, fan light, fuel low light all to dashboard. Fan switch moved to handlebar light switch, hidden ignition switch moved, wired the…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build I realized that I'm probably better off modifying the stock header rather than the TBR. Plus if I screw up the stock header I still have a good TBR for backup. Basically I'm going to remove the center merge area which…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 15 hours ago, YoshiHNS Just saw that they have the 520 steel sprockets back in stock at drive system usa and Sprocket Center. Not sure how long they've been in stock, but it sure seems like I had to remind them to ship…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build I received a stock header. Weighs a ton compared to the TBR system. 13.8 vs 7.8 lbs.! Main goal is to get more underside clearance for better fitment of body, second is weight. Well, bad news the body fowls a different…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 12 hours ago, bdouvill That's impressive. I look forward to read any progress 😉 I would be interested to hear a little bit the more the details about the Coil over plugs. I read several info on this forum and I thought…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build luigi, 5/31/2020 at 1:34 AM Hi Monstar. Be careful to make many changement all in one. If something going wrong work to fix it became hard... Ciao, Luigi. Thanks Luigi, Yeah I've run into that problem a few times and I…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Just an update: Cleaned and rejetted the carbs. Cleaned the block, replaced the small water hoses to the heads and put the heatshield and carbs back on. Not as difficult as I've heard. Start it up and idles fine like…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 5 hours ago, davideb23 Hi Monstar, i really like what you are doing. I have a 4th gen too and i always wanted to make an rc30 replica. I was wondering what front end are you using for on your bike? I read you are using…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Messing around waiting to get some jets and such.
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 9 hours ago, luigi Hi Monstar. Interesting work. I 'm working on a similar project based on RC46 (VFR800). All information that you will share are appreciated. This is actual situation. My idea is swap swingarm with…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks, the tail is from Tyga performance. That was the initial fitting and has moved up and forward quite a bit along with the tank. Also, I'm in the process of making some cosmetic changes to fit the rc45 spirit.…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks luigi and BiKenG! I would love to see what you guys have done and are doing. I'll also try to post the progress with mine as well. I was kinda bad about documenting I as went but here is a list of things I have…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 38 minutes ago, YoshiHNS Had to take a look around. Absolutely stupid. Vortex makes and aluminum rear. I have a used one. You can buy off their site. If you do the individual sprocket, they say they don't do a steel…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Anyway I cleared up what hose does what. A honda mechanic loosely confirmed. The large hose goes to the slides, the smaller one in the rear next to it go to the floats, and the one in the front is a vent to atmosphere.…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 2 hours ago, monstar The vendor I was speaking of is sprocket specialists also and I ordered in November and they refunded my money in January. I would prefer steel but where can you get aluminum? SORRY. My bad... I…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 4 hours ago, YoshiHNS I have been waiting since OCTOBER for a 520 Steel VFR sprocket. Last I heard it was supposed to ship in April. I should have just machined it myself from a PBM sprocket blank. I can get Aluminum,…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Anyone have a new 520 rear sprocket for a 4th gen? The only company I know that sells them have been waiting on their chinese supplier with no word on when they'll get them.
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 11 minutes ago, Captain 80s The little one in back is def carb vent, you can see it attached to the T fitting on the carbs. On my 86 VFR, there is a separator/breather on the rear Valve Cover that routes to the air box…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 2 hours ago, Captain 80s Those should be just your carb vent lines and need to remain vented to atmosphere. You can just make sure they point down so nothing gets in or install a filter if you want. You could join them…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Well, I'm about to take the carbs off to clean the jets and circuits because they are so clogged the bike can only idle. In previous posts, some members suggested to run a line for atmospheric pressure to the airbox to…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Cool! What do you think of the quality of the Airtech fairings? Pics? I went with Sebimoto and I'm not really impressed with the quality and fitment. Nothing seems straight and very thin in some areas. I'm using…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Don't mind the mismatch cans. Got another chinese one like the right coming soon. I know is just for looks but I always wanted a dual high mount for my RC51 which I never got a chance to do. Also, I decided to make the…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks. The support bracket is fairly sturdy as is, a little locktite on the hardware will do the trick. For now I'm running the SSSA but at some point I may try to do a conversion. In the meantime I'm going to rock…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build I think I used a pvc drain adapter 3-4" I believe. A lot of measuring and making paper templates to get in the ballpark. Finally decided I was close enough, traced it, and just cut the thing and crossed my fingers. If I…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Also decided to go with a 4-2-1-2 exhaust. Mocking it up now... pics soon.
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Should change the name to "Project Q" Hope everyone is healthy and doing well. Redesigned the front support in order to mount the headlight, overflow bottle and gauge. Also wired up and modified new switch so I have…
- Coil on Plug? Updates? Went back through the discussion on COPs. I really didn't find any conclusions as to which stick coils work the best or are even reliable. GSXR, CBR, etc. I don't have a grasp on which ohm rating is needed. So, anyone…
- Tyga Can we see more pics?
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 4 hours ago, gll429 this bike doesnt have a tip over sensor either.. Previous owner/s deleted what I now find out is the fuel cut relay. They jumped the black wire and the blue&black wire and the bike ran. The fuel pump…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Damn, I was hoping it was something simple. Now I have to go back and trace my connections. It was pretty straight forward shortening the rear harness and I think it might be the tip sensor delete. I'm sure I did it…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build I trimmed down the rear wiring harness. I don't think I did anything drastic. Do I need the stock tank's sender to start it?
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks, I actually found his project on youtube before I bought the bike. I followed his facebook but was disappointed there was no more progress. He definitely has time, skill, and tools that I don't have. I would love…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks, that's good to know. There were a couple hoses not connected to anything coming from the carbs. Previous owner did it. One I believe should go to a little filter outside the airbox the other I'm not sure about.…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Sounds like a lot work and headaches! I was thinking of doing that to my stock tank but was not confident that it would turn out well. Trying to keep things simple. Cheap plastic tank cover and a fuel cell. Interested…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Trying to get my ram air to actually function. I decided to not screw with the stock tank and have a fuel cell fabbed up soon. Love to see how you did yours. [image: IMG_4968.jpg] [image: IMG_4969.jpg]
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Thanks, in the process of that. Chinese parts are so cheap but you get what you pay for... now I'll probably have to pay a butt load to ship them back to china. I knew better but rolled the dice!
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Christ! Someone (myself) should tell me to never buy important parts from china (ebay)! Waited a month for front rotors and while they looked nice they did not look like the picture advertised and the machining was not…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Been on here randomly for a few years just asking dumb questions. Sold my rc51 and my crf450 supermoto before I got married 7 years ago (Big mistake! Not the marriage part but selling my bikes. I want them back, well…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! Looks very nice! Good work. I however want a 4-2-1-2 system.
- RC45 replica project I've only found cbr900rr swingarm conversions talkabout here. Nobody has got anything else to work? Heard about 600rr but the linkage didn't work or was too difficult. Just found this swingarm that looks awesome from a…
- RC45 replica project 55 minutes ago, RC36Rider He's on Facebook now. Progress has been halted for a long time due to some 2 stroke salvage operation but he's back at it. AHHH! Told myself I would never be on facebook but I had to create an…
- RC45 replica project 18 hours ago, BusyLittleShop All Reeeeeeeeeeeeeet... Endurance Race RC45s are my favorite... I'll ante my Lucky Strike pics... I actually have one of these HRC double sided exhaust systems hanging in the shop... I…
