- VFR Top 10 Again interceptor69, 3/30/2024 at 7:46 PM Actually #1. https://www.hotcars.com/valuable-vintage-japanese-sport-bikes/ Intersting, 5 of the 10 bikes are Honda!
- Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) Well, one step forward followed by brick wall. I was able to remove the clevis, boot and snap ring. I think I have now found the root issue. The piston is stuck in the compressed position, and will not budge. I tried…
- Need pointers for cleaning SMC (secondary master cylinder) Thanks Terry. I did notice the nut below the clevis, and put a wrench on it and attempted to turn it while holding the clevis. It didn't want to turn and I was unsure if I should force it until I was certain that was…

- Bad Week For The Vfr After years of wanting a fifth gen VFR, I finally got one early this year. Couple weeks ago, I took it to Boone NC for a week vacation. Finally, a chance to ride some good roads! This was a gathering for owners of…
