  1. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 Nov 2020 05:00 3 hours ago, dudutzu I wasn't talking about your exhaust, I was referring to the factory exhaust. Factory exhaust on gen 5 and 6 combines cyliders 1+2 and 3+4. On gen 8 it combines 1+3 and 2+4. I'm just trying to get…
  2. SEBSPEED 5/6th Gen Center Stand Stop 3 Jul 2020 16:44 SEBSPEED, 6/20/2020 at 10:20 AM All paid orders have shipped - (7) stops remain available. Boxed and ready to ship... Received mine and it looks great... I have a few other garage projects for my cages that need repair…
  3. SEBSPEED 5/6th Gen Center Stand Stop 18 Jun 2020 19:10 SEBSPEED, 6/12/2020 at 1:21 PM I made a dozen of the 6th gen parts. The 4 that have been paid for will ship later today or tomorrow morning. 2 more have dibs, so that makes 6 up for grabs. Boxed and ready to ship, email…
  4. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 12 Jun 2020 14:39 13 hours ago, interceptor69 Can anyone point me to the right page where the Dyno graphs were done after the installation of the headers on the 5th gen? So help me understand, it sounds like you asking someone else to…
  5. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 10 Jun 2020 19:49 23 minutes ago, Gotama So what’s the official name of this exhaust system being built ? I’m partial to W.i.L.D. Headers ( for Wade, Lance, and Darryl)
  6. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 10 Jun 2020 04:40 9 minutes ago, flya750 Check out these crush gaskets for the 2015 VF800FD. They may be better than the Delkevic crush gaskets? Description "Very high quality copper covered fiber exhaust gasket. Sold individually.…
  7. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 7 Jun 2020 19:27 10 hours ago, BiKenG I have been following this thread with interest, but have rather lost track of what's available. I am interested in a system that would fit a 5th Gen 800 motor, with 8th Gen front rads and high…

New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 6 Jun 2020 03:09 40 minutes ago, Duc2V4 OK folks, getting near go time, we are one deposit away from making this happen, if you're sitting on the fence or know someone who might want in, please step up and join the fray! Just curious...…

  10. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 29 Apr 2020 19:54 14 hours ago, boOZZIE So I was thinking that these headers should be given a name, rather than some generic term and something that pays respect to the unobtainium makers. Wade industries, Lance and Darryl What do y'all…
  11. SEBSPEED 5/6th Gen Center Stand Stop 29 Apr 2020 19:52 17 hours ago, Cogswell For all the 5th gen headers sold, it seems odd to me that there are so few that are interested in a 5th gen version. It would certainly be much better than some of the home brew attempts at it (no…
  12. SEBSPEED 5/6th Gen Center Stand Stop 24 Apr 2020 17:18 13 hours ago, Duc2V4 If it helps, put me down for one 5 Gen and one 6 Gen. I with you, put me down for one of each
  13. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 24 Apr 2020 04:31 Rush2112, 4/21/2020 at 10:36 PM ... The reason I asked the question is it has been my experience with stainless steel storage tanks and other equipment we always passivated after polishing the tanks. I wasn't sure if…
  14. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 22 Apr 2020 02:36 TheLimey, 4/20/2020 at 10:10 PM All passivation does is acid etch the surface to restore the chrome oxide layer that's destroyed by the heat of welding, which is what gives stainless steel its high corrosion resistance.…
  15. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 20 Apr 2020 20:27 Does anyone know if polishing the headers effects the passivation?
  16. SEBSPEED 5/6th Gen Center Stand Stop 13 Apr 2020 17:22 3 hours ago, Duc2V4 If it’ll help get these going put me on the list. I’m sure one day someone will be looking for one and viola, I may just have one I can offer up. D I'm with you, Man! I'll take one too... I think I'm…

Please PM me if you were expecting a PM with a tracking number but did not receive it. CHEERS!…
  19. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 13 Mar 2020 23:08 3 hours ago, CornerCarver Tried to help you out with some fab info but the 5th gen bikes we can access right now have 6th gen cushions on them for updated rear sets....still looking. Thanks for checking. I might just…
  20. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 10 Mar 2020 04:09 36 minutes ago, SEBSPEED I would prefer to produce the centerstand stops in batches if I can - what's the latest potential need for stops looking like? Hey Seb, I know it is for 6th gens but my 5th gen mid-pipe doesn’t…
  21. Motorcycle hearing protection/earplugs 21 Jan 2020 21:36 MaxSwell, 1/20/2020 at 1:06 PM I'm pretty sure that glorious whine of the 5th has contributed to my hearing loss, reinforcing the theory that Nothing Is Free. Yeah, with the active noise canceling I couldn’t hear the…
  22. Motorcycle hearing protection/earplugs 19 Jan 2020 06:30 RC36B, 1/17/2020 at 1:16 PM Anyone have or tried active noise cancelling plugs or speakers for motorcycle helmets? I have used active noise canceling with Audio Technica ear buds. Very highly rated and well reviewed…
  23. Tyga 4 Dec 2019 05:56 16 hours ago, davfr Tyga just released a right hand exit version as well. http://tyga-performance.com/index.php?cPath=72_1036_1819_1820 I'm still looking for anyone willing to participate in some experimenting on the…
  24. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 22 Nov 2019 14:46 11 hours ago, Cogswell Me too . . . amazing how great they look. FedEx emailed that my 8th gens should be here today... so excited!
  25. 6th gear noise on 5th Generation 19 Nov 2019 04:01 10 hours ago, Zarquon I finally got the chance to ride today, with a slightly looser chain adustment. The noise is still there but I think it cuts out at a lower rpm now. It sounds like the chain and kind of has a…
  26. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 12 Nov 2019 20:24 sfdownhill, 11/9/2019 at 1:53 PM This is strictly a guess on my part, but it might be that RB sets up their autotune system to use the two OEM sensors on VFRs that have two OEM bungs/sensors simply because the two bungs…
  27. 6th gear noise on 5th Generation 12 Nov 2019 06:33 5th gen motors and gear boxes are practically bullet proof. The PO might have changed the gears and not the chain. Go with a new set of chain and gears and you’ll be happy. They are maintenance items and they wear out...
  28. 6th gear noise on 5th Generation 12 Nov 2019 06:27 Go with a new chain and sprockets set... especially, if you don’t know how old the current ones are
  29. 6th gear noise on 5th Generation 12 Nov 2019 06:24 I’d be surprised if it is not your chain and sprockets. 6th gear low rpms accentuates the issue because of the power pulses from the syncopated firing order engine. That, plus tight and loose sections of chain can give…
  30. Do these foot controls (shifter and rear brake levers) look okay to you? 12 Nov 2019 06:11 Some states put a prefix letter on the title ( A=1, B=2, etc.) to indicate how many times the vehicle has been titled. This may give you an idea on how many previous owners.
  31. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 9 Nov 2019 03:36 5 minutes ago, Rush2112 With this arrangement You can use a single Rapidbike wide band O2 sensor in conjunction with your 2 stock O2 sensors. The Rapidbike will send a constant message to your ECU that everything is…
  32. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 9 Nov 2019 03:28 2 hours ago, Wingate Hi Guys, just confirming about the bungs on the 8th gen headers, and I preface this by saying I probably should've brought this up earlier, but why not 2X 18mm bungs rather than a (OEM size) 12mm…
  33. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 25 Oct 2019 03:00 Hi Guys, Any update or possible ETA on next available lot of headers? Do we need to obtain additional orders? Thanks!
  34. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 22 Oct 2019 23:46 Hi Guys! I have read this whole thread and I don’t recall if it is stated... what type of stainless steel is used in the construction of the headers? Is it 304, 314, 409, 430, etc.? I was thinking of having them…
  35. Very_Fantastic_400_F 20 Oct 2019 05:16 Great looking vintage bike! Welcome to the forum!
  36. Rear suspension upgrade 18 Oct 2019 22:50 1 hour ago, Fritzer I just had a email conversation with Jamie regarding the CBR929 to VFR conversion. He has discontinued that option and explains why in this excerpt from his response. The simple answer is no, the 929…
  37. Rear suspension upgrade 18 Oct 2019 20:32 50 minutes ago, Fritzer Does it need any modifications to fit into the VFR? Jamie makes and installs an adapter for the top bolt on the 929 shock that makes it a direct swap out/in with the stock shock and adds a little…
  38. Rear suspension upgrade 18 Oct 2019 19:31 26 minutes ago, Fritzer I just talked with Jamie and he graciously took a little time to educate me on the options. One option was to install his brand new shock with spring at $675. This option brings you into serious…

  40. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 21 Aug 2019 03:29 4 hours ago, Baileyrock Cool to see this decade old thread still going! Thanks all. BR - it’s cool to come back after a year or so and see some things haven’t changed... it’s quite comforting actually. I’m glad to see…

SF and I have been busy with other things at the moment but we’ll be posting up soon, most likely in a new thread. We…
  44. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 9 Aug 2019 00:20 Quote I can’t believe I’m seeing what I’m seeing.... actual, live in the flesh (stainless steel), new performance headers for the VFR800’s! I hope the more recent owners of VFR800s appreciate the gravity and…
  45. Pardon The Nudity... 7 Sep 2018 03:10 Dude... AMAZING!!! You’re an artist making mechanical music! ... and I like the “2112” when the gauge came to life!
  46. My 399 lb VFR848 22 Jun 2018 16:25 Stray, 6/19/2018 at 12:20 PM Keef, I recon you’re singlehandedly responsible for the price spike in Ducati 848/1098/1198 hubs and wheels on eBay! Every man and his wife want one now. Some sellers have gone stark raving…

  48. Pro evo shift kit? 23 May 2018 03:33 exwifeschewtoy, 5/21/2018 at 9:42 PM Actually I can't afford a slipper clutch. The idea sounded real nice about it controlling the engine braking better but I got major sticker shock when I found they were over a grand.…
  49. Pro evo shift kit? 21 May 2018 04:06 1 hour ago, exwifeschewtoy Ok, I figured out why I have so much trouble with clunking. User error. I was pulling in the clutch all the way. Now I only pull it in half way. I am also waiting longer to shift. More like at…
  50. Pro evo shift kit? 20 May 2018 18:43 VFROZ, 5/18/2018 at 5:53 AM There doesn't seem to be much difference on the shift star except a bit less peak on the ends. I wonder if you can do the same by grinding a bit off the original one. I must say my 5G has no…
