  1. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 21 Jul 2017 18:55 My Ohlins rear shock from my '00 VFR is now for sale. I've posted a thread over in the Classifieds section.
  2. Mint 2000 Model 11 Nov 2016 20:54 For those that have ridden an XX, how do they compare to (say) a ZX12?
  3. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 11 Nov 2016 20:23 9 hours ago, JZH I did some research before buying a second-hand RC36 Ohlins for my RC46, using Ohlins' own data, and I decided it would be possible to use a 4th-gen shock on a 5th-gen bike, and it could probably be…
  4. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 11 Nov 2016 03:01 I think I'll be selling the Ohlins rear shock off my 5th gen. It was rebuilt this year by GMD Computrack in Boston, I have the receipt. Anyone interested? I'm putting the bike back to stock before selling it. :blush:
  5. Rearsets for 5th gen.? 6 Sep 2016 02:30 I'd like to lower my footpegs if possible. I know that BLS has his lowering blocks , which is one option. Then there's this eBay listing , which is a replacement footpeg that happens to be moved lower. Does anyone make…
  6. VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 26 Jul 2016 14:43 Just now, hellindustries Checked. WAY more than would be worth it. No worries. Thanks for checking anyway!
  7. VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 26 Jul 2016 14:13 34 minutes ago, hellindustries I was thinking around £70 (£100-ish originally) + shipping to you. Would you mind figuring out how much shipping would be?
  8. VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 26 Jul 2016 13:37 2016 at 1:46 PM, hellindustries, July 23 The Screen is an MRA Vario. I'm actually selling it. Didn't work out for me, but i see that it works for practically everyone else. How much do you want for it mate? Shipping…
  9. VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 23 Jul 2016 01:50 Hellindustires, what kind of screen is that?
  10. Fast Answer For Rear Shock Removal Needed 19 Jul 2016 16:35 I installed an Ohlins shock on my '00. I removed the muffler but not the catalytic converter, it took a bit of finagling but it finally went in!
  11. Ripped A Wire To The Brake Light Connector 11 Mar 2016 18:36 Those connectors can be a pisser even with the right tool. Patience will go a long way here. Man, I sound like Yoda. Is the locking pin on the top and bottom of each terminal, or the sides?
  12. Ripped A Wire To The Brake Light Connector 11 Mar 2016 15:50 From the front of the harness plug, you should be able to slide a very thin jewelers screwdriver or something similar between the plug and the spade connector and release the locking tab. Then you should be able to pull…
  13. Ripped A Wire To The Brake Light Connector 8 Mar 2016 17:53 I was a bit ham-fisted and managed to break the wires on the VFR's rear brake light. [image: IMG_0059_zpsivwwanz3.jpg] How do I get the pins out of the connector so that I can re-solder them? Naturally, the wires broke…
  14. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 19 Oct 2015 15:44 Skids Terry I looked up the installation manual for the Ohlins HO 801 which I assume you have. This is the recommended positioning they show: [image: Ohlins.jpg] That looks right. Is the line routed the best way to get…
  15. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 18 Oct 2015 19:04 Where are you guys installing the remote canister for the shock? The Ohlins instructions are here . I've found a guy on a Spanish VFR site that's here and his install looks a little different to mine. With the remote…
  16. Post your Voltmeter mount pics 29 Sep 2015 15:27 30Bones I also have one of these and they were within 0.1V when riding/testing yesterday. So both are either spot on accurate or off by the same amount :goofy: [image: m0F9K6.jpg] I have one of those and really like it.…

  19. [Introductory] Another 5Th Genner (Uk) 22 Sep 2015 00:55 hellindustries Yeah, a can is something i really want. Might be happening late this week or so. We shall see. I've mostly been focussing on restoration and cleaning now that i have the time to do it. Genuine honda bolts…
  20. Steel Braided Lines 6 Aug 2015 11:36 http://www.vfrdiscus...line-group-buy/ You may want to check and see if you can start another group buy to benefit more and save a few bucks. Great idea, thanks!
  21. Steel Braided Lines 6 Aug 2015 02:21 I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to buy for my bike. Goodridge make a kit, P/N is HN0800-10FR Galfer make a kit, P/N is FK003D195-11 Hel make a kit, P/N is HBF2708 Russell supposedly make a kit, but I…
  22. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 4 Aug 2015 19:06 I spoke to Jerry at Öhlins and he was incredibly helpful. Unfortunately for me though, the 4th gen shocks are not a worthwhile swap into a 5th gen. The 5th gen shock is longer, it has less stroke, it has a different…
  23. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 4 Aug 2015 16:49 Skids You could have the Ohlins off my 5th Gen, but I suspect the postage would be a bit exorbitant. How much would you want for it mate? My employer does a lot of international shipping...
  24. Which Ohlins Shocks Fit A 5Th Gen? 4 Aug 2015 13:44 I'm looking to pick up a used Ohlins 46 HRCS locally. I believe it came off a 3rd gen VFR. How can I tell if it will fit, and if it will, what mounting kit(s) I will need? We have a thread talking about using a 4th gen…
  25. 99 White Vfr 28 Jul 2015 21:58 All bikes look great. White seems to be the best color that never was for the years it did not come from the factory. I have never liked white but a white VFR speaks to me. I am for sure going to powder coat the wheels…
  26. Nuts, Bolts And Washers 23 Jul 2015 16:17 I get mine from www.ronayers.com. No affiliation other than a satisfied customer. They're usually a buck or two apiece, and $6 seems to be the minimum shipping charge. I prefer buying OEM stuff, but I'm a little weird…
  27. Lower Fairing Decals, Y2K 9 Jun 2015 16:43 Does anyone have that on their bike? Wasn't on mine... haven't seen it on others', and haven't seen it in photos. Wasn't on mine, but then mine had been repainted anyway.
  28. Lower Fairing Decals, Y2K 9 Jun 2015 02:31 You're missing the small "HECS 3" decal. It goes on the cowl under the front of the seat. You can see it here: http://www.ronayers....420a31015/marks [image: markhecs3_big87121MCC600-01_3773.jpg] Cheap and still…
  29. Vf1000F Bars On A 5Th Gen 8 May 2015 12:51 Look good... the ST1100 cables were not an ideal choice for my Seigler LSL bar conversion on my 5th gen. Too tight with no adjustment, I'll have to remove and rotate the throttle housing to re-drill the alignment hole…
  30. Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike 7 May 2015 12:36 Sooo who else has tackled this? I'm still trying to decide between the LSL kit and going the DIY route for my 5th gen.. Looks like the LSL kit is down to about $260.
  31. Must Have Mods 6 May 2015 02:11 VFR4Lee No, uses all the old lines. That's why it is relatively cheap, if you look at kits for other bikes. :cool: You can also roll your own, people have done that. That should be cheaper, just more work. :sleep: Ah…
  32. Must Have Mods 6 May 2015 01:59 VFR4Lee number9 VFR4Lee My mods are LSL handlebar conversion kit, Givi rack and JC Whitney trunk, 1 tooth smaller front sprocket, and last but most important, mods to the odometer reading, aka lots of miles. :beer: How…

  35. Where Exactly Does The Vfr Decal Go? 16 Aug 2013 21:36 The previous owner of my bike painted the main fairings, and didn't replace the VFR decals. So I ordered a pair. Would someone mind measuring the "VFR Interceptor" decals so I can put them back in the right place?…
  36. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 31 Jul 2013 20:48 That video wasn't the IOM TT, it was the Ulster GP.
  37. embarrassment of riches 13 Apr 2012 15:09 I'm interested if Throttlepimp doesn't want it (he got here first).
  38. SAE to Mini USB power cable - does it exist? 22 Mar 2012 12:54 Thanks guys. I totally forgot about the voltage difference between the two. I'm looking to connect my Garmin nüvi GPS, and it only has a Mini USB plug. Interestingly though the factory cable is cigarette lighter to Mini…
  39. SAE to Mini USB power cable - does it exist? 22 Mar 2012 01:00 I know you can do SAE to cigarette lighter, and cigarette lighter to Mini USB; or SAE to Powerlet, and Powerlet to Mini USB, but is there something that skips the conversion in the middle? I tried Googling for SAE…
  40. Why are passenger handles such a b!#@h to find? 20 Mar 2012 15:38 Have you seen this? http://www.vfrdiscus...neration-items/
  41. How to un lower a bike 20 Mar 2012 13:53 I'll give it a try, Jeremy, thanks. I'm paranoid about dropping it though! So I pull the bike straight back, not "up and back"?
  42. How to un lower a bike 20 Mar 2012 13:05 I actually couldn't get the bike on the damn center stand this morning :huh: It's the only bike I've ever had with one, and I suck at getting it up on there. I'll check the triangle linkage - thanks! Should I need to…
  43. How to un lower a bike 20 Mar 2012 00:24 I've umm... well I've put about 7,000 miles with them like that! Prior to this I've only ever owned lightweight, quick-steering Ducatis so I guess I'm used to nervous bikes! Or maybe I'm just a really good rider :tour:…
  44. How to un lower a bike 19 Mar 2012 23:34 The PO of my bike dropped the top clamps through the forks. How do I un-drop them? Do I literally just remove the pinch bolts on the clamp (right above the Virginia inspection sticker) and have gravity do the rest? I…
  45. Why are passenger handles such a b!#@h to find? 19 Mar 2012 20:27 They're out there. I bought a set for my bike, you just gotta be patient if you're looking for used ones. Of course I had to buy new fasteners for them though :ph34r:
  46. New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. 19 Mar 2012 20:13 Red is the best color if you're not man enough to go yellow.. ;) great bike, though, and welcome to the 5th gens!
  47. 01 handlebar conversion 18 Mar 2012 16:48 Awesome thread! I'm very interested to hear what you end up doing about cables. Keep us posted!
