  1. Carb work and PAIR delete worth it? 10 Jul 2012 01:27 I believe that there IS something to be gained if you're working on a VTEC model. It helps (along with other mods) to smooth out the "lump" at around 6500RPM. Can't see any good reason why you'd do it on a non-VTEC…
  2. If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? 7 Jul 2012 10:32 I have to put my hand up and say that I've reduced the population, too. Having said that, they are very popular still here in Oz and holding their prices well as well. In fact, a quick perusal of the classified reveals…
  3. Luggage rack, 4th Gen 7 Jul 2012 07:54 Been there and done that, too. Yes, it's a useless arrangement.
  4. Luggage rack, 4th Gen 6 Jul 2012 07:13 GOT ONE!!!
  5. Time to pack it in. 6 Jul 2012 07:13 I will be at the Island Classic next year, and I will bring the Kawa, even if it's only for display purposes.
  6. Luggage rack, 4th Gen 5 Jul 2012 03:40 I am looking for a short rack on which to mount a small top box. The bike has Ventura rails and I do have a high rack for when I want to use the bag for touring, etc. The spacing between the openings on the rails is…
  7. Time to pack it in. 5 Jul 2012 01:51 Actually quite well, Murray. After being told by everone that they weren't available, I called in to a wrecker in Sydney while my brother was looking for something for his bike and I asked, just on spec, as you do, and,…
  8. Time to pack it in. 4 Jul 2012 23:23 Pretty much mirrors my experience, Paul. Anyway, I'm going to keep working myself into the riding scene again and see what happens. That way, as somebody here said, like you, when I do decide to go it will be on my…
  9. Time to pack it in. 4 Jul 2012 21:30 Actually, mate, it's got 145k on it, but I'm only the third owner and it has been very well looked after, FSH, $1300 spent last year on a suspension rebuild, etc, etc..
  10. Time to pack it in. 3 Jul 2012 11:05 Well, it's time to check in again. The Shadowfax restoration is complete, and you can read the whole story on my web site. It was a truly amazing experience that culminated in its display at Eastern Creek in March, my…

  12. Time to pack it in. 28 Oct 2011 06:31 Snap!! Judging by the much better condition of your copy over mine, I'm guessing that yours was a scan off the original print that I would have given him back in 1976. As you can see from my copy, the emulsion on my…

  14. Time to pack it in. 28 Oct 2011 03:08 Wow, that looks awfully like one of my photos from Oran Park, or you were standing right beside me when you took it!!
  15. Time to pack it in. 27 Oct 2011 09:01 VFR Capt.Bob What an amazing idea to restore an old bike to it's original glory as is the builder himself likewise restored to his original passion. There's a story in there you should keep a journal. Never know what…

  17. Time to pack it in. 26 Oct 2011 23:39 The Phantom Love it! Will be joining the throngs in following the restoration. Do you happen to know Kevin Whitby? Heck, yes. Known him for years. Great guy.
  18. Time to pack it in. 26 Oct 2011 01:43 Well, it's been over a year now since my accident. People say to me, "Gee, it doesn't SEEM like that long." to which I reply, "No, it seems WAY longer!" But I continue to heal well and now have my doctor's permission to…
  19. Time to pack it in. 12 Jan 2011 04:34 Well, it's been a while since I checked in with you guys so I'd better bring you up to date. It's 12 weeks last Monday since my accident and I continue to make steady, if not spectacular, progress with my recovery.…
  20. Would sir like a 162bhp, 179kg bike with decent ergos?? 9 Nov 2010 04:40 I love the gloss black (just like my VFR) but that tricoleur paint scheme is brilliant.

  26. Time to pack it in. 5 Nov 2010 06:39 I'm home. Released from hospital at lunch time today. Can't even BEGIN to tell you how good it feels.
  27. Time to pack it in. 2 Nov 2010 04:59 StillwaterVFR Hi RC, I understand the dilemma. My accident was early in my riding career and was a wake-up call. I also remember the day my firstborn understood what sport his daddy was into when he saw me leave on a…
  28. Time to pack it in. 2 Nov 2010 01:49 DDO-VFR 37 years eh! Well it's about time you quit you greedy bastige! At least you didn't get cheated overall. I didn't get started until I was 50, so I guess by the time I reach 87 I'll be fed up too. Life is a…
  29. Time to pack it in. 1 Nov 2010 22:26 It's been one of the toughest, yet one of the easiest decsions that I've ever had to make, but I've decided to hang up the helmet. The morning after the accident I woke up and decided that I couldn't put my wonderful…

  32. NR750 27 Oct 2010 00:33 Thanks for posting the cut-away, mate.
  33. Oops, I did it again. 22 Oct 2010 09:50 I am reminded of the scene in The Princess Bride when Buttercup is about to kill herself and Westley says, "There is shortage of perfect breasts in the world, it would be a shame to damage yours." I do seem to hve…
  34. Oops, I did it again. 22 Oct 2010 06:33 Thanks guys. When you mix a bike and a cement truck, the truck is always going to win. Thanks, too for letting the ozvfr boys know. I haven't been able to log in there for some reason. FWIW, I'm in St George Hospital in…
  35. Oops, I did it again. 22 Oct 2010 03:08 Serious accident, Monday afternoon. On my way up the mountain for lunch and I recall (very vaguely) seeing a truck on my side of the road. Next thing I remember is looking up and seeing my upper leg at an angle that God…

  37. Kung-Fu Panda problems. 28 May 2010 07:01 UPDATE: After trying (unsuccessfully) to solve the problem playing email ping-pong, I finally got the guy to agree to take it back so that it could be fixed. A week away in China and returned to me working like a charm.…
  38. Staintune Question 23 May 2010 05:00 Yep, that price sounds right. Pity we have to pay over $A700 for the same thing and they'd made about 50k's from my place... :bliss:

  43. Kung-Fu Panda problems. 5 May 2010 10:14 So, on the recommendation of you guys, I bought a Kung-Fu GPS and it arrived today. It's very shiny-shiny, but it doesn't work!! When I select "GPS" the screen starts flashing and I get an error message in a dialog box…

  48. Why is the luggage so much smaller?? 13 Apr 2010 22:04 Well, it already weighs "weigh" too much; fitting bigger panniers will further add, I guess.
  49. $19-20K OTD 11 Apr 2010 06:57 I guess there will come a time when we will regard these prices as quite "normal". And I suppose that we should also remind ourselves that all VFR's were expensive compared to other bikes when they first came out as…
