All 29- Givi wing rack Hi Guy's, just posted some pics in my gallery of the wing rack and brackets I have made up, to attach it to the seat sub frame.
- Givi wing rack Slowbird, can't seem to ad pictures to this thread, it's my inept hi-tec skills or the lack of, i could attach in an email, if you would like to forward your email address, i'll send you the images. kev
- Givi wing rack Hi Slowbird, what year is your vfr
- Givi wing rack Slowbird, well mate, 94-97 wing rack fittings are no longer made, they will make some more if we can get an order for 60+ units. All is not lost as i found a picture on the net of a 94 with a wing rack fitted, with a…
- Givi wing rack Hi Guy's, does anyone have the givi wing rack fitted to their 94-97 bike. I have purchased the wing rack, but cannot find the correct fitting kit, so anyone know where there's one for sale, or has anyone used the…
- 750 fork options JZH thanks for your input, I had been using 10wt oil in the vfr, recommended by the local honda dealer, just found a copy of the workshop manual online, it say ss7 which i understand is 5wt, no wonder my forks felt…
- 750 fork options Anybody know if the vtec fork springs will fit my 750fv, just might be able to get some linear springs .9, which should be fine for my weight. kev
- 750 fork options Hi Guy's vtr uses 10wt as standard, as my son ran one up to very recently when he changed to the zxr6r, You are correct in that I am on a tight budget and would love to play with the shim stacks, but don't understand,…
- 750 fork options Seb, It feels to rebound too fast, if I bounce on the front I get the return followed by a second return, instead of 1 and a half bounces. I like my bikes to rebound slower ( done lots of cross country mtb racing). my…
- 750 fork options Ok Guy's before test ride this morning, i have removed the spacers (25mm),because the new hagon progessive springs( start at 6.5kg/ raising to 10.5kg according to hagon tech dept) are longer than the standard honda…
- 750 fork options Seb, the spring was fine in the old setup, although it's progressive, Hagon recommended 10wt oil with the spring kit, I have taken Jamie's advise and used 5wt and an air gap of 120mm. the compression with 10wt felt…
- 750 fork options Well guy's, I've done the fork damper rod change, using vtr top caps damper rod and vfr750fv compression and rebound valves as suggested, I've put 5wt oil in also as suggested. I have static sag of 12mm and combined…
- 750 fork options Jamie, can't afford one at the momment, but i will have plenty of shims, vfr forks and vtr forks, any suggestions for stacks using what shims i will have available, some thing to smooth out the harshness of high speed…

- vtr fork internals Hi F3 parts are expensive over here, and just thought, some riders here have gone with vtr front forks, to gain better brakes, I am not worried about upgrade on brakes, just want some control over rebound, so thought…
- vtr fork internals [image: View Post]BaileyRock, on 06 November 2010 - 02:09 PM, said: Hi Kev! Does the VTR even have rebound adjustment? Hi Br, the vtr firestorm has rebound adjustment, we have a guy here in the uk, that is renowned for…
- vtr fork internals Hi Guy's, does anyone know if I can use vtr fork internals, instead of cbr600, I understand the vtr suffers from hydraulic lock on compression, so thought i might use the vfr750fv compression valve, reworked and the use…
- how to modify standard fork valves I have replaced the rear shock with a 929 shock, to give me more control over compression and damping at the rear, so the rear is already raised, used a 40mm spacer on the shock, which has now shown the front end…
- how to modify standard fork valves Hi, stock height is 39mm, for the fv, I have mine at 44mm at the moment, I have read that raising past the 10mm drop causes problems with ride height and handling, head shakes and alike. What do you guy's recommend for…
- how to modify standard fork valves I added some more spacers this morning, as after my last, ride the zip tie on the fork slider, was nearly touching the lower triple clamp. The spacer I fitted was approx 25mm, on top of the one fitted by honda, it was a…
- how to modify standard fork valves Hi V4 Rosso, Thanks for the reply, I also looked at ohlins springs, but they don't list the fv, By 5th gen, do you mean year 2000 bikes, I was'nt aware that you could install those springs. When you say oil chamber, do…
- how to modify standard fork valves Can anyone help, I need to replace the fork springs in my fv, they are way too soft for my weight, (90kg). It would appear that here in the uk, we can only get fork springs as a one spring for all, so could i mod the…
- Producing A Fix For The Regulator/rectifier Wiring Issue I thought I had seen a diagram of circuit on one of these threads or your web site but I can not find it again, so you replace the red/white wire with a heavy gauge wire to handle better the amps, produced by the r/r.…
- Producing A Fix For The Regulator/rectifier Wiring Issue Sorry Tightwad, I may have mislead you here, the connector to the r/r has indeed 5 wires. 3 yellow (stator) 1 green (earth) and 1 red/white, I fully understand the replacement of the yellow wires, with heavy gauge than…
- Producing A Fix For The Regulator/rectifier Wiring Issue Tightwad, thanks for the reply, I can't quite grasp what happens to the wiring from the starter relay area, have you replaced the red/white wire with a red wire and put an inline fuse in there,the earth directly to the…
- Producing A Fix For The Regulator/rectifier Wiring Issue Tightwad, I hope so, do you do a loom to fit the 750 fv version, as I might as well replace the wiring whilst I have the bike in bits. kev
- Producing A Fix For The Regulator/rectifier Wiring Issue Just joined vfrd and found this thread,what a bonus. This is my second vfr750fv, which I bought 2 weeks ago, last owner replaced the battery and r/r, but after stripping the bike to go through end to end, as I do when I…
