All 38- Rebuilt of the "other" V4 I think the RZ500 is the best looking of the 500 2 strokes. Congrats on having such a lovely old smoker! Can't wait to see the finished results!
- Big F Project VF, thats a gorgeous 1K!! I've always had a soft spot for them, they are the meat eating rhinoceros of the VF family :fing02: I think some blue red accents on that CF front fender would tie it in wonderfully, but leave…
- 5th Gen Engine Modifications Any news? Has your engine been abducted by aliens as an example of how far we have advanced technologically? The world waits breathlessly (Actually, I'm just curious as hell, this thing is gonna be a monster!)
- 5th Gen Engine Modifications sa1713, I have not seen it discussed on this thread, and don't know if it is a possibility w/ the VFR, but have you given any thought to lightening the flyweel? Maybe lightening and re-balancing the cam drive gears? It…
- Project Bike Yeah, I gotta say, I've bought some cheap, crappy, beaten and abused bikes in my day, and I'd say I'm batting about .900 in successfully putting them back together and riding 'em. If you've paid ANYTHING for this bike,…
- Braided brake lines for front calipers only? [image: View Post]Veefer800Canuck, on 22 April 2010 - 12:32 AM, said: Absolutely doable to change just the lines to the front calipers. Nothing will explode. Better lever feel is the upshot, without the expense of a…
- Braided brake lines for front calipers only? so does that mean you can run mixed SS and rubber lines in a linked set up with no ill effect? I have some stainless lines for the front, but its from a de-linked set-up, and me likey my linked brakes :)
- Fork Braces [image: View Post]YoshiHNS, on 18 April 2010 - 07:22 PM, said: I know this has been dragging for some time, and I apologize. BUT --- Drawings are done. I email them out tomorrow morning to the watercutters for a quote,…
- 5th Gen Engine Modifications Dave Dodge and MegaCycle are still in the cam business. Dave Dodge to the rescue :laughing6-hehe: I spoke to him this morning and he said he could do some cam work. He finished a 5th gen last year with very good…
- It's here CONGRATS!!! I finally saw one in the flesh today, moto-lust damn near took hold of me. I couldn't weasel a demo ride (I promise you I can afford to buy it, I have no job but a rich uncle who loves me :pinocchio: ). The…
- Fuel Pressure Regulators Someone around here mentioned in a previous FPR thread that an Acura FPR would bolt on and give a boost for the 5th gen. Someone also mentioned a blackbird FPR. I have a satantune and K&N so I know I'm running lean, and…
- Fork Braces Just dragging this post back from the dead, to see if Yoshi has made any progress (he types hopefully)?? Also, I figured out that 3/4 gen fork braces will not fit the 5th gen. The 5th gen tubes are roughly 1/2" wider in…
- Busy Little Shops project pics I am now more convinced than ever that Larry's primary job on this board is to tittilate and frustrate those of us who don't have the tools and (far more importantly) the skills to build these sweet, lightweight race…
- 5th Gen Engine Modifications I'm checking with the EBD to see if the cams can be worked as well. On another note regarding the PC V for my 98 non Cali model. Coderighter installed a PC V on his 6th gen and also has the Autotune. He has mapped by…
- The awesomeness of the BMW 1000RR I've only had the privilege to sit on one, but let me tell you, it felt like power wheelies and speeding tickets :491: Its really pretty cool that the horsepower wars are coming to an end, because they will now focus on…
- Can powdercoat withstand being used inside a motor? [image: View Post]VFR4Lee, on 07 March 2010 - 04:38 PM, said: I think the wife would spaz if I tried to bake engine parts in the oven. :laugh: They get really pissed when you bake cannons in the oven... I know a guy who…
- 5th Gen Engine Modifications To ask what may seem like a newb question, what exactly gets welded when you weld the head? Does the head just get filled in, making it less of a dome (ergo more compression)?

- 5th Gen Engine Modifications So am I correct in believing that simply flipping the oil cooler over will up its function and help keep the engine a few ticks cooler? Anything I can do to keep that motor turning for a bajillion more miles :fing02:…
- Crazy thought Would dropping in shorter pistons (thereby lowering compression) then getting a Torocharger allow you to run more boost out of the blower? Would this simply take you the long way around to being back where you would…
- Fork Braces Yoshi, please put me down for one bomb proof chunk of billet :biggrin: Looks sweet, if you PM me w/ where and how to measure the front end, I can give you the dimensions for a 5th gen (and possibly sneak down to the…
- what is the difference between radial and standard brakes? The difference between radial brake calipers and the old blade mounts is a step forward like fuel injection was to carbs and like flip forks are to the old conventual forks... a leap in technology that once your try it…
- My "track Use" Vfr Luigi, I hope you're feeling better! This bike brings a tear to my eye, how you say, bellisimo? :rolleyes: You should post up the measurements of that subframe when you're finished (and able) It looks ideal!

- 6th Gen speed sensor Hey all, I've dropped one tooth on the front of my 5th gen (to 16t) and was wondering if I could simply get a speed sensor off a 6th gen to fix my speedo (and more critically the odometer)? Thanks for the advice!
- Where HeliBars left off, my new bars succeed!! For straight slabbing, Those puppies look tasty, w/out losing any road feel (You need it on the CA freeways :pissed: ). I like my helis because they are in-between, MUCH more relaxed position than stock, but leaned…
- Rear Wheels/tires, The End All Discussion What other NON-VFR wheels will mount up to our beasts? I'm sure some Ducati wheels must, any Triumph rims that will go on? Who else has SSSAs? Rims are an easy place to lose some weight, would love to find a…
- Helibar degree of difficulty? [image: View Post]Tightwad, on 01 December 2009 - 04:22 PM, said: My question is how to get the angle right when installing the Heli-bars...I have a set to install but no idea what to set the angle to, and how to…
- Helibar degree of difficulty? [image: View Post]FJ12Ryder, on 28 November 2009 - 11:51 AM, said: I installed the Helibars on my '99 and it was a pretty simple job. I did have to trim the tab to allow the banjo's to pivot a bit, but I used a hacksaw…

- Hossackviffer Mkii So sweet! Keep at it, Red!!

- Palomar Ride Saturday 8/15 Also, as I've done in the past, I'll be closing down this topic at 7:00pm tomorrow night. That way everyone can go to sleep and not be concerned about checking in again before the ride. I know I had a hard time sleeping…
- Palomar Ride Saturday 8/15 IN! A group if I have new tires by then, B if not :goofy:

- Idyllwild 9/28 8:00am Meetup Since it seems a number of us are coming from a ways away (I've got a 81.5mi of slab before the ride itself) Could we move the ride start time back an hour or 2?? I'm a baby and not a morning person at all!
- Idyllwild 9/28 8:00am Meetup 98% sure you can count me in as well!!
