  5. 5Th Gen Wheel Bearings 22 Jan 2013 02:51 Veefer800Canuck There are many good bearing manufacturers out there, NSK and FAG being but two of them. If you remove your existing bearings and bring them to an industrial bearing supply house, they can cross reference…
  6. 5Th Gen Wheel Bearings 22 Jan 2013 01:44 After checking around the web the common consensus is that Honda just sources the cheapest they can and plop it in a Honda bag and mark it up. I'm trying to avoid the Chinese stuff b/c I have an irrational fear of the…
  7. 5Th Gen Wheel Bearings 21 Jan 2013 20:32 Sorry if this has been done before I searched and didn't really find anything. Is there a high quality replacement for the wheel bearings? I've heard mixed reviews of All Balls most of which leaned toward the bad. I'd…

  10. FUMOTO Valve installed. 21 Feb 2012 04:07 The pipes are are much lower then the Fumoto valve. And yes, I myself would never strip an oil drain, but I got this bike with 30k miles and there is evidence of over torque in the past. And non heat treated Aluminum…
  11. 929 Shock Help 4 Jul 2011 20:19 Well over the winter I installed a low milage 929 shock. Fast forward to spring when I finally get to ride it and I'm blown away. My bike felt so much more stable and I felt a lot more confident. I aquire a new EK…

  15. Rear Shock Choices 17 Feb 2011 01:44 I just went through this- for some reason it's impossible to find it on VFRD. Google "929 shock swap" and you'll find a thread by our very own Veefer800canuck on the fireblades.org forum with a link to the VFRD thread.…
  16. Vortex or Driven Clip-Ons on 5th Gen 13 Feb 2011 14:59 Has anyone installed either of these? If so do they just bolt on or is there more to it? What do you think? TIA :)
