  3. Engine Clunk Noise 1 Sep 2010 16:07 Went for a few rides the past couple days and my bike has developed this clunking noise when going through the RPMS in EVERY gear. Ill start from a stop, hear it around 3000 RPM, then 4500 RPM, then 6000 RPM, in first…

  8. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 21 Aug 2010 15:44 Yes, the Tarozzi Braces are cast aluminum. If ya think about it, the brace is meant to reduce the twisting and bowing of your forks while under load. How much strength do you really need to prevent this from happening?…

  10. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 20 Aug 2010 22:33 Anyone who wants in on this order, let me know. We have 6 so far. 10 needed.
  11. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 20 Aug 2010 15:34 Heard back from Fast From the Past. Retail, they're price for Fork Braces (Tarozzi) is $99. If we get 10 together, he'll give us a 20% discount. So thats $80 bucks for brand new braces, plus shipping. Sounds like the…
  12. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 19 Aug 2010 22:41 Ok, email sent to Fast From the Past. These guys seem more legit than this Wild Hair joint. Awaiting reply...
  13. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 19 Aug 2010 20:10 Slow, have you emailed these guys (Wild Hair Acc.) yet? I will if you haven't already, they're website shows they have fork braces, but doesn't look like a comprehensive selection. Let me know..
  14. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 19 Aug 2010 15:05 And BTW, the gentleman Howard I'm dealing with, from the UK, is a nice individual that actually seems interested in earning our business... :fing02:
  15. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 19 Aug 2010 15:03 For anyone who may want to get in on a group buy on the Tarozzi Fork Brace/Stabilizers, if we can get 10 orders, the price would be $59.04 per brace, and $64.18 for shipping to the States. If we have less than 10 in the…
  16. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 19 Aug 2010 00:08 Slow, I'm very interested to see what Telefix has to say about our experiences with Spec II. I'm in customer service myself, am a very polite person, was very nice in my message to Gary and while I spoke to him on the…
  17. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 18 Aug 2010 17:18 Just got off the phone with the guy, Gary, from Spec II. Hes a complete A$$hole and actually told me he would rather not sell us the Fork Braces, due to the fact that what we want is a "niche" market and hes too busy…

  19. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 16 Aug 2010 18:32 I must also note that Spec II has the same part # on file for 86 VFR750, 700's, VF500's, and 87 and up Hurricanes so all yous that have these other bikes can get in on this too. Fire it up!

  21. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 16 Aug 2010 18:24 Just got a call back from Spec II, much faster than expected. They want 160 :dry: for the Fork Brace, and must order it form Germany. 160 seems hella steep, so I want to call him and present a group buy deal and see…
  22. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 16 Aug 2010 14:17 Yes, they're 37 mil forks, but they take the measurement from right below the fork seals, so I suppose the diameter is better than 37 mil. I've been doing some research and it seems that Telefix's American Distributor…
  23. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 14 Aug 2010 19:53 Thanks Beck. I can see the advantage to having the fork brace I can surely detect some instability at times with my stock forks. Maybe we can set up a group buy if Slow can get somewhere with these companies...
  24. gauges and indicator lights dead 13 Aug 2010 23:51 Blakeo, did you wire up the stock speedo, etc or hook up the Acewell? How do you like the Acewell? I assume its the all-in-one deal? I would like to see some pics if you put the Acewell on, Im considering doing this…
  25. Fork Brace. 1986 VFR750 13 Aug 2010 23:46 I'm sorry I cant help you with this topic, but what does a "Fork Brace" actually do?

  27. Clip-Ons! 12 Aug 2010 00:49 Yeah I definitely decided against going under the triple, and I'm not sure about going on top either I inspected the tank clearance and it is TIGHT as it is without lower bars. I wanted to see if anyone has tried it on…
  28. Fairing Stays 24 Jul 2010 14:14 Hey all, I need to locate the fairing stays for the Right/Left side cover lower. #21 in the "Cowl" diagrams. Straight piece with two flanges right above Motor Covers Right and Left. Anyone have some extras lying around…
  29. Header Stud Bolts 22 Jul 2010 19:20 Thanks Seb. Thanks for the tip V-Fore. I was planning on doing the torch heat/cool, heat/cool method and back it out with some vice grips and PB Blaster. Anyone have some good insight on the best way to back out these…
  30. Header Stud Bolts 21 Jul 2010 22:45 So I torqued up my header nuts too much, and of course snapped the stud in 2. Anyone thats been through this: do you know the correct stud size so I can buy the replacement? I think its part #20 on the Cylinder Head…
