  1. Leaning Blind At Night 9 Jun 2017 08:54 https://www.mslmagazine.co.uk/tested-jw-speaker-8790-adaptive-led-motorcycle-headlight-review/ So, I know it's a bit of a zombie thread, but I found a solution other than buying a BMW. Also, I know it won't fit a stock…
  2. Purolator PL14610 oil filter...fit? 16 May 2017 13:57 I got the PBL14612 on no problem (and no leaks) so, I /think/ the newer style seems okay? I'm not 100% sure about the difference though. . . The first picture is definitely what the one I installed looks like, and I…
  3. Purolator PL14610 oil filter...fit? 4 May 2017 12:41 Confirmed your plans yet? I was looking at some of the reviews on these on Amazon and on the CalSci site and it looks like they were redesigned recently and may not work?
  4. Tips for expensive item sales from Internet acquaintences. 6 Jan 2017 19:23 100% not a joke ;) An electric skateboard is a pretty much exactly what it sounds like, skateboard with a motor and batteries. Speeds and ranges seem to vary from 15-40mph and 7-25miles on a charge. Evolve makes my…
  5. Tips for expensive item sales from Internet acquaintences. 6 Jan 2017 18:00 No problems with someone hitting buy it now before you do? Or is there a different way to make it work out for an agreed price? I do like the additional protection offered by some sites. PayPal seems to have good buyer…
  6. Tips for expensive item sales from Internet acquaintences. 6 Jan 2017 17:38 I've had great treatment and honesty from VFRD members, but I don't know of any selling an electric skateboard right now ;) Still more than happy with the front end purchase though :D
  7. Tips for expensive item sales from Internet acquaintences. 6 Jan 2017 05:03 So, I'm actually looking to purchase another electric skateboard, but it's online. Basically, I'm looking for general tips for making a transaction smooth when you're dealing with expensive items and can't meet face to…
  8. My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process 14 Jan 2016 15:50 I don't have the same aftermarket dash that you guys do, but I do have a 4th gen with the factory speed sensor working. I think your problem might be related to the number of signals sent by each unit. The magnet will…
  9. Vinyl Wrapping 23 Mar 2015 11:18 Haven't done it, but in the interest of getting your thread rolling, I'd ask about the wear on the sides of the tank where your knees hit. My guess is it'd hold up alright, but something thicker there might be helpful.
  10. 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options 3 Mar 2015 18:54 Still using a chatterbox. I upgraded to the x1 slims after using a couple of the x1bt's. The music is a little quiet, but I ride w/ earplugs in and can rock along at freeway speeds with a noisy helmet shape (Icon…
  11. Anyone running without an oil cooler? 9 Dec 2014 15:19 I was thinking a square one would fit inside it nicely. Actually, I think some had a cutout. Maybe the vf1000s? Thanks for the info.
  12. Anyone running without an oil cooler? 8 Dec 2014 17:27 Closer to this: https://www.ooracing...mm-x-180mm.html Also, this is the space I've got on my bike right now. You can see the oil cooler in the gap behind the front wheel. [image: IMG 20141014 092253] IMG 20141014…
  13. Anyone running without an oil cooler? 8 Dec 2014 14:07 No room under my headlight anymore. . . actually, my headlight bucket may rub my fender at full compression. The oil cooler was mounted below the radiator, behind the tire, in front of the headers. . . Is something like…
  14. Anyone running without an oil cooler? 8 Dec 2014 13:34 So, I know it's an old as dirt thread (actually, by vfrd standards, it's old as pavement maybe?) Any ideas what other oil coolers I can run? My bike is naked, so, no worries about space really (though, the cbr front end…
  15. La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure 22 Oct 2014 11:49 samael6978 vanion2 When I do get pulled over I make sure to ask that they legibly print their name and badge number on the ticket/warning early on, never argue, and remain polite admitting to nothing. To date I have…
  16. Honda Force V4 History 1978 - 2012 17 Oct 2014 17:28 Thanks, that article is a fun read! Not entirely related, but I thought these might interest people looking here too. Both of these are car oriented, but still interesting to me at least:…
  17. Honda Force V4 History 1978 - 2012 17 Oct 2014 11:16 I know this is from forever ago in internet time, but it seemed like a good place to ask the question. Does anyone know how Honda ended up with the RWB color scheme?
  18. Leaning Blind At Night 9 Oct 2014 19:10 It's a problem with all newer (better) lights. They're designed with a crisp cuttoff to focus usable light on the road and to avoid blinding oncoming traffic. This is great for cars, and good for motorcycles traveling…
  19. Leaning Blind At Night 7 Oct 2014 19:28 Looks like Clearwater lights? When I installed the LED headlight, the cutoff was so sharp even on high, that when I leaned over I couldn't see through the corner. I used to just grab my light and pull it up if it was an…
  20. No go at all nothing 23 Sep 2014 11:46 And if you don't have one already, pick up a multimeter. It'll help you see what's going on with the electronics :happy: You might need it for the charging system once you get it running :wink: It'll be alright though,…
  21. Prototype Turbo Kit For 90-97 Vfr750, Volunteer Bike Needed 6 Aug 2014 15:29 So. . . I missed this before. Any new news here?
  22. Is It Worth 500 Bucks? 12 Jun 2014 11:11 Starter sounds like mine did when the starter clutch was failing
  23. 11Th Annual Tmac Picture Thread 27 May 2014 02:13 Do travel pictures count? [image: 4ytupe4u.jpg] [image: uda6asa9.jpg] [image: uvyqe6u5.jpg] [image: 7e7e9upe.jpg]
  24. Making A 4-2 Exhaust. How To Do It? 15 Feb 2014 21:54 Mine was 4-2 when I got it... Someone just cut the exhaust before the 2-1 part... it was terrible. I'm not sure if it was because of their amazing(ly terrible) ability to only use welded angle cut pieces of straight…
  25. 94 Cafe Project 15 Jan 2013 09:47 I wish I could remember which battery I had in mine. I found a smaller battery with a capacity about the same as the stock VFR battery. I'll take a look at it when I get back home. . . in a couple weeks. Also, I painted…
  26. 94 Cafe Project 13 Jan 2013 03:48 My bike had the exhaust separated before the third joiner in the triple tree when I got it, it was, uh, rough running and /really/ loud. I actually looked around a lot before I found a spare exhaust system to change it…
  27. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 13 Mar 2012 02:04 As far as the oil cooler is concerned, mine is just relocated low near the inlet and outlet. I did run across someone else with a very similar bike that just had the cooler bypassed. There was a U pipe that went…
  28. 97 vfr750 streetfighter project! 31 Jul 2011 21:17 Looks like a better job cleaning up the wiring than mine. Hope it keeps going well.
  29. HID & LED upgrade '83 VF750F 26 Mar 2011 21:54 I had reservations about running an HID on my bike with a single light. I do a fair bit of riding at night and some of it as part of long trips. I didn't want to have a single point of failure for my headlight. I ended…
  30. Go with a plan, or wing it? 9 Feb 2011 00:50 I tend to look at a couple routes, a twisty takes some time route, a boring straight gets me there faster route and some ways to get between the two. . . granted, it's pretty easy to do when one you're going between…
  31. Creative, Hilarious Helmets 26 Jan 2011 05:43 [image: View Post]hawglet, on 25 January 2011 - 10:54 PM, said: Several years ago I found a design that I really wanted to get painted for my Dad who has been in plumbing for about the last 30yrs. It looked from the…
  32. SF Bay Area Miniceptor parts 22 Jan 2011 05:04 [image: View Post]DougFromIndy, on 21 January 2011 - 09:31 PM, said: Chris, From your profile I see these are VF500 parts, miniceptor to me is VTR250, the barbieceptor Thanks, I'll have to brush up on my VF nicknames.…
  33. SF Bay Area Miniceptor parts 22 Jan 2011 00:57 And you're definitely not going to get to put it back together, but if you have one you need some parts for, I have a lot of them. I'd prefer they all go at once, but that's just because I need to get rid of them before…
  34. Turn Signal on 12 Aug 2010 06:23 I've been considering doing this on purpose. If you figure out how it happened, I'd like to know. The relay is probably a good place to check, as are the grounds. For that matter, I know some bikes have front running…
  35. Legality of modulating lights 27 Jul 2010 17:36 [image: View Post]Knife, on 27 July 2010 - 10:51 AM, said: I also have lighted mirrors that are both running lights and turn signals, and many have commented just how visible they make me from the front at night. Do you…
  36. Not another wind buffeting thread?! 26 Jul 2010 05:41 Just ditch all the plastic. I've got very little buffeting up to . . . well, 90 or so. I won't talk about any more than that because I haven't been on a track. All my bike has is a single round headlight. I had a jacket…
  37. My 95 v4 fighter project 5 Apr 2010 07:45 slowjoe64 The Phantom Good stuff Scotty, what a bargain. I added a few pics to Gitzy's VFR Fighers page yesterday, few more ideas for you to consider :cheerleader:…
  38. My 95 v4 fighter project 4 Apr 2010 11:33 Sweet, reminds me of mine when I got it. . . you've got a bit messier wiring to deal with though.
  39. Rear Wheels/tires, The End All Discussion 19 Mar 2010 23:36 Is it just me, or is it difficult to say 'narrower rear wheel'?
  40. 4th gen tail section made into one piece 12 Mar 2010 15:38 SEBSPEED WIN6 So. . . maybe it's just becasue I completely lack all of the parts in this thread. But I was wondering. . . what's the benefit to this? aside from the "because I can" and "becasue it makes it unique" which…
  41. 4th gen tail section made into one piece 12 Mar 2010 06:18 So. . . maybe it's just becasue I completely lack all of the parts in this thread. But I was wondering. . . what's the benefit to this? aside from the "because I can" and "becasue it makes it unique" which I do think…
  42. Pro-oiler Install "how To", Vtec Vfr 1 Mar 2010 07:17 Has anyone been able to get a hold of Pablo at Pro-Oiler recently? I've sent a couple messages from the contact form on the Pro-Oiler website over the last couple weeks but haven't recieved a response yet.
  43. Carbon Fiber Helmets 21 Feb 2010 18:47 tob I have ordered a Schuberth C3 Carbon, on impulse, to bee delivered in 2 weeks. After reading this thread I ´m confident that I will get a helmet that are lighter and stronger than my old C2, and not as brittle as…
  44. Safety And Color Coordination... 21 Feb 2010 18:13 I've got those boots with the buckle on the top. I like them, but try boots on first, walk around if you can. Maybe find somewhere to try them on in a brick and mortar store and then buy them online later, same with the…
  45. Carbon Fiber Helmets 17 Feb 2010 17:05 I've got an AGV Ti-Tech that I've been wearing for a couple years. I got lucky and found it on CL. . . It's mostly kevlar though and only the chin is carbon fiber. I think AGV's reasoning was that the kevlar was more…
  46. Least Favorite Mods 14 Feb 2010 23:07 JZH My excuse was I was a skint student and couldn't afford to buy a slip-on (this was pre-eBay, obviously). Yes, I succumbed to the temptation to stick a long drill bit down the snout of the OEM exhaust on my FL...…
  47. Least Favorite Mods 6 Feb 2010 18:48 As much as I like the dual megaphone on the right side of the bike. . . I think this amazing weld job under the bike has to my least favorite thing about my bike right now. Commence wisecracks about cutting corners…
  48. Project VFR 4 Feb 2010 20:16 I really like his wrtie up. Especially his letter to Mr. Honda.
  49. Dropped my bike tonight.. 4 Feb 2010 11:53 I had a problem with my brake light staying on after my bike got knocked over on the right side. Turned out that when the bike fell, the lever slid in on the bar and shorted the switch for the front brake against the…
  50. Gas tank removal ... 2 Feb 2010 12:21 I'm not sure about the sixth gens. . . but I know that for every tank I've taken off of an older bike this is the process that I've used (with no spillage) 1. Shut off the fuel supply (86 VFR Easy, 96 VFR a bit more…
