  2. Samco Hose Kits For 3Rd & 4Th Vfr 750 20 Mar 2014 20:23 Can someone tell me what the stated timeframe was on getting these in our hands? I thought I read it was 4-6 weeks, but James with Racebikebitz told me NOVEMBER!!!!
  3. Tom's Vf1000F Revival 3 Jul 2013 05:06 Great looking bike and good job. I think you're on the right track with the wires and sync, but I'd lean towards wires myself.

  5. Lost My &*%$^#@ Key 5 Mar 2011 02:40 Can someone elaborate on where to find the code on the seat lock? I've lost my key to my '97. The seat is off - ty broken seat latch - and I can't find it on there anywhere ????

  9. Torque those bolts fellas 9 Sep 2010 04:34 I was heading over to my friends house and was slowing down for a light when I heard a loud Booooooooooooong sound. It sounded like it was staying right with me, not like a horn fading in the distance. It alarmed me so…

  11. Clunking in Front end 12 Jun 2010 17:24 I'm wondering if there's a copy of the actual service manual somewhere on the site, not the 16mb Adobe file I keep finding everywhere. The service manual is the one that goes into more detail yes? Anyone know if we have…
  12. Clunking in Front end 11 Jun 2010 19:51 I was able to get in there and work on it today. Looks like the bearings were in fact loose. After I took off the top triple and the top nut was just sitting there, I could spin it with my fingers. Is this correct? I…
  13. VTEC-SC... 8 Jun 2010 16:00 Put this in perspective: the new BMW S1000RR makes 172@ the wheels according the the mc mags. What a monster Toro is creating here.

  17. Clunking in Front end 3 Jun 2010 16:33 I'm definitely leaning towards the bearings, as if I lay on the brakes and keep them on until stopped, the I'll feel and hear what's going on during compression AND rebound of the forks. If it were those rubber boots…
  18. 7th Gen Accessories - Sticker shock ! 31 May 2010 18:21 I just checked Ebay, it seems Thurn is already selling some 1200 bits. Centerstand and frames for non-Honda bags were both interesting.

  20. Clunking in Front end 26 May 2010 04:46 Hey guys, I just noticed an odd clunking/clicking in my front end. Lock to lock I can feel no notches or tight points, very smooth and linear effort to turn the bars left to right. If I hold on the brake and push down…
  21. 8 Spoke/price 17 May 2010 19:56 So was the wheel width the main roadblock from doing this mod to a 4th gen? If so I'll be looking for a Speed Triple hub and wheel.
  22. VTEC-SC... 27 Apr 2010 22:01 About that ZX-10, if that's the case I think he's got a Bonneville candidate on his hands. How cool would that be? Definiely some good exposure for you if he did...

  32. Road Trip to Big Bend 10 Mar 2010 01:27 Quote AZ is a great place to ride in the Spring and Fall but getting there in the Summer is normally tooooooo hot as I have to travel in the worst of it. I remember a spontaneous ride I was going to do a few years ago…

  35. Just Some Random Pictures I Took Tonight... 28 Dec 2009 04:55 I like your BMW, very sharp. The blacked out trim looks super on those darker colors. And the page's layout is cool, I like how clicking on the pic links fades it in and out. I have to ask, are you an accountant?

  38. VFR1200F at Long Beach Show 7 Dec 2009 20:48 Dude, wth, it was up on a roped off turntable in Dallas. I feel cheated.
  39. Found on the Intardwebz 23 Nov 2009 02:24 A blue tiger...oh well, it's better than a wizard holding a crystal ball, Thor, or some other 70's mural subject matter.

  46. Vfr1200 Engine Sound 6 Oct 2009 16:54 Okay that sound byte kinda sucked. Oh well, can't look a gift horse in the mouth I guess. Definitely some potential there though. Wondering how difficult or problematic it will be to install an aftermarket pipe, given…
  47. Honda Confirms It's A 1200 V4 24 Sep 2009 17:45 Where was that? I see a note at the top about not having references as of before September 2009; couldn't find it. But if that "Not official or confirmed" comment was already there, maybe it's left over and wasn't taken…
