Last 50 of 60- VFR1200 Galfer Wave Rotors I have a set of brand new in the box Galfer Waver rotors for a VFR1200. I bought them to try and use on my 2015 vfr800 as an upgrade from 310 to 320mm discs and the offset is wrong. They are $332 a piece brand new from…
- 8th Gen forks and brakes on a 6th Gen 39 minutes ago, richieg Hi Minicarver Thanks a lot for the invaluablefor info - shame about the wheels being incompatible but as it happens I do prefer the Lok of 8th gen wheels. I would probably want a matching set I…
- 8th Gen forks and brakes on a 6th Gen richieg, 4/23/2020 at 11:08 AM Looking at ditching the combined brakes on my 2003 and I like the look and simplicity of the 8th setup. Anyone know if 8th Gen forks or even just the fork lowers will work on a 6th gen?…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA VFR750F3, 6/28/2019 at 6:15 PM Not completely rubbish i can pop clutchless wheelies now. That's the spirit, i'd take my little bit melted v-dam with these performance headers over a stock header with clean v-dam any day.
- Just about to hit 30,000kms on my RWB VFR 25th 5 minutes ago, thepretender I've been told and it seems so that the stator is good for 50000 miles give or take before its baked to failure. Absent electric problems why would you pull the stator cover off with less…
- Just about to hit 30,000kms on my RWB VFR 25th 54 minutes ago, VFR80025th The bike has been flawless. To begin the year I have installed a set of Road 5s and a new Yuasa YTZ12s Previous battery was fine but it was 4 years old and PO put in a no name battery. I say…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen sfdownhill, 5/13/2019 at 9:40 PM Thanks for doing the legwork to find Prismatic's Triple Bronze as a match for 8 gen accent colors. Did you try Triple Bronze out on a test piece before having all those parts…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA This was my center stand stop solution. [image: IMG_20190506_213943.jpg] [image: IMG_20190506_214007.jpg]
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 24 minutes ago, SEBSPEED To be fair, I've seen your watch band size and IIRC your header could also wear your watch... :goofy: Yep, right at the mid-pipe connection lol
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 16 hours ago, MooseMoose That's exactly the way the original Two Brothers pipes they were patterned off of fit. Everyone should expect this. I knew it wasn't be an exact perfect fit. Just letting everyone know what I…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Finally got around to installing the pipe. The front was pretty far off and misaligned. CornerCarver had to lay on the ground and push the front right with his foot while I worked it into place. [image:…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 9 minutes ago, Funkotron That's why I researched it. I'm still trying to figure out why my bike runs so hot and what can be done about it. I chimed in because I don't think you can properly ceramic coat these on the…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 8 hours ago, GreginDenver (I feel like the clueless kid at the back of class) Can I ask why? Exactly why are we talking about exhaust coatings here in this forum thread? I have to know, is there a specific reason or…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 4 hours ago, interceptor69 In one post it was reported the 42 mm crush gaskets were not on Delkevic's website but in a much later post there was a link to a page of different gaskets, and there was a 42 mm gasket. I…

- Packtalk Slim Volume Volume will be fine on the bike. I've had multiple Scala riders from g4 to g9 to g9x to pack talk, packtalk bold, and now packtalk slim (best headset made to date hands down) The packtalk has software that picks up wind…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen 3 hours ago, adkfinn My idea was to research swapping the hubs or similar. I hadn't dug into it yet, was initially trying to see if I could land on the wheel weights to gauge whether or not it was it was even worth…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen 3 hours ago, adkfinn That looks excellent! Did you weigh the 8th Gen wheels by chance? Not yet, i'm looking for a second set of wheels to powder coat white, because well...you can't have a Red white and blue interceptor…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen sfdownhill, 3/6/2019 at 8:45 AM Powdercoating materials manufacturer Prismatic Powders makes a 'Prismatic Gold' and a 'Clear Metallic' that when used together would get pretty close to Summer Blond Metallic I had my…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen Lorne, 3/3/2019 at 1:22 AM The wheel colour in your photo has me reconsidering what to do the next time I repaint my VTec's wheels. It reminds me of the wheel colour on my '91 VFR750. I liked the wheel color on the 91.…
- 180/60/17 or 180/55/17 Searching through Honda's parts fiche one day I noticed they originally stuck a 170 rear on the 8 spoke wheel so for shits and giggles I stuck a 170 on my 10 spoke 8th gen wheel and I love the way it makes the bike…
- Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen I've always been partial to white, but bronze has seriously grown on me. Can't bring myself to powder coat these white so I'll snag a spare set to powder white and keep an extra set of tires mounted and balanced to swap…
- Group Buy: Factory Pro Shift Evo Kits 13 hours ago, Stray Didn’t really set a deadline with Marc. I suppose it depends on how many orders we get and how quickly. Are you wanting to wait a bit? I have a factory pro kit installed in my 2001 engine, but it's…

- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 8 hours ago, richieg Iiking the 8th gen forks and brakes...can you do a build thread for us? Interested in doing the same for my 6th gen and keen to know if the 6th gen fork uppers and brake master cylinders can be…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? EX-XX, 2/6/2019 at 4:43 PM What's the go with retaining the VTEC solenoid? To "fool" the existing ECU into believing it's still "driving" a 6th-Gen engine? When trying to figure out how to fool the 6th gen ECU and…
- May Need a Gen 8 Now 10 hours ago, paulmeisterpk So if I pick up an 8th gen, where can I get those fairings? Can we order them here in the US? looks like the forks are silver instead of bronze too. That is a great looking bike. forks were…

- eliminating VTEC on 6th Gen Easiest way for me was dropping my 5th gen engine in my 6th gen frame. Now I get the beautiful gear whine, and the wonderful sound of dual underseat staintunes 😁
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? Now that 8th gen parts are becoming more and more available via ebay. I was able to do all 2014 suspension/wheel/rotors with Brembo monoblocks. [image: IMAG3850.jpg] [image: IMAG3848.jpg] [image: IMAG3852.jpg] [image:…

- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder Tamworth VFROZ This is the strangest thread I've ever followed. In my mind, it can't be the plug, Pair valve or head/gasket. It has to be coming through the throttle bodies, or more likely the rubber insulator bands…
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder It's storming like we Royally (the royal we) pissed Zeus off and he's trying to bring our house down so i'll definitely know tomorrow if the new plates fixed the problem. Thanks again MelloDude. Edited July 13, 2015 by…
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder I just looked at an extra set of throttlebodies in the garage and the injector seal seems a little too small to let as much water in as we're finding. But i haven't actually inspected the throttlebodies that are on the…
