  1. Is it ok for a different sized front tire? 29 May 2025 22:18 Thanks Captain...
  2. Is it ok for a different sized front tire? 29 May 2025 21:36 I got some tires coming from mail order and I messed up on the sku for them. Stock the 90 vfr takes a 120/70-17 tire. I have a 120/60-17 tfront tire coming. Did I screw myself or is this an OK substitution for the…
  3. For Sale 3rd Gen Clear clutch cover (Sebspeed made) 24 Apr 2025 04:37 I have for a sale a 3rd gen clear clutch cover made by Sebspeed. Unfortunately it wont work on my stock fairing 90 model. It will look great and fit on a streetfigher but not on a stock full fairing 3rd Gen VFR. Asking…
  4. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 Jun 2024 00:23 Finally got everything bolted on and up and running. Wow is all I can say. Much smoother, more power, and when the VTEC activated there was a MUCH smoother transition then I have ever had on this bike before. I'm a firm…
  5. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 12 May 2024 00:56 This freaking exhaust. Did anyone who got the last batch of headers here have any major install problems. I'm not an idiot with a wrench and this isnt my first aftermarket exhaust install but jeezus. I'm back to square…
  6. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 6 May 2024 23:04 ducnut, 5/5/2024 at 1:22 AM Don’t bother with Staintune. I used a FiveStar Mfg barrel clamp. WD40 liberally applied to the slip joint. You should know to never try and insert anything dry. The header shouldn’t be up…
  7. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 5 May 2024 03:17 Duc2V4, 5/2/2024 at 11:52 PM I took my 2Bros slip on link pipe along with our headers to a local muffler shop. He had it done in less than 10 minutes, handed him $10 cash and was on my way. It was completely uneventful.…
  8. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 May 2024 02:44 52 minutes ago, ducnut Be extremely careful with the expanding. I took my header and Staintune to an OG exhaust dude, who gently expanded, rotated, gently expanded, rotated, etc. He probably spent 20 minutes on it, for…
  9. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 30 Apr 2024 19:15 11 hours ago, boOZZIE No need to brake anything 😀 From memory, remove the rearset and then remove the heat shield and hang the rearset/brake with a zip tie or something. Have fun with those exhaust nuts they're SOB.…
  10. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 21 Apr 2024 23:37 Question for those who have installed the new header on their 6th gen. How do you handle the heatshield attached to the R/S rearset. Did you remove the shield with those hard to get nuts on the back of it and move the…
  11. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 19 Oct 2023 00:05 So sad to hear about sfdownhill. I never met him but we had several conversations concerning Rapid Bike and the VFR headers. All my dealings with him were top notch. He will be missed
  12. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 28 Jun 2023 14:20 Great news to hear sfdownhill. Duc2V4 thank you,thank you, thank you.
  13. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 13 Dec 2021 17:23 I think i finally would pull the trigger on a 6th gen set.
  14. Rescuing a '92 VFR750F 23 Sep 2020 02:29 damionj, 9/20/2020 at 2:28 PM Good news! Found an air box and base plate on eBay. While I wait for delivery... more cleaning. What have you all used to restore plastics? I had good luck restoring the plastics on my ZX7R…
  15. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 27 Apr 2019 04:24 Lance, Please let me know when the next batch of 5th and 6th gens are geared up to be made. I'm def ready to pull the trigger for the 2nd run of these. Real curious to hear feedback from the guys running Staintunes on…
  16. Group Buy: Factory Pro Shift Evo Kits 28 Feb 2019 18:55 I'd be interested in a 6th gen ceramic kit if that is doable for this group buy. Thanks for doing this. Nick
  17. Parting out a 1993 21 May 2017 15:25 I'd be interested in the water pump assy if you still have it. Price to zip 46725?

  19. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 25 Mar 2017 12:27 9 hours ago, MadScientist Yep, that's the gasket in both of the above posts. My micron low and mig high both attach without the gasket (the inlet to the midpipe is smaller in diameter). This will be an issue for systems…
  20. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 24 Mar 2017 21:47 5 hours ago, RVFR 51Nick, do you have a photo of the Staintune there fitting up to what I believe would be the stock 6th gen mid pipe? Like you. My Staintune is staying put. I All ready know it wouldn't just slip on…
  21. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 24 Mar 2017 11:04 Def. interested but would need to have final info on the 02 bungs and outlet pipe dia for a workaround for the 6th gen. I too have Staintunes and I'm not getting rid of them on my 07 RWB.
  22. my 07RWB project/build 26 Jan 2017 02:42 Appreciate the feedback on the plate. What I'll probably do is get the oem brkt installed and see what I need to do using carboard templates. You're possibly right on the fittment with the Staintunes. I need the plate…
  23. my 07RWB project/build 25 Jan 2017 13:05 3D... I love the plate bracket you had Sebspeed make for you. Couple of questions. What did you use for the license light and is there an addition small brkt between the plate and original Honda brkt? If so is that also…
  24. HID Latching Relay 7 Jan 2017 03:48 Thank you very much!!
  25. my 07RWB project/build 7 Jan 2017 03:46 One thing nice about being in the Ft.Wayne area.... Jamie is local... Now to just get over to his shop and buy some suspension parts!!
  26. HID Latching Relay 6 Jan 2017 14:11 That's pretty cool.... If I can't find any I'll try making that mod. Can you do something similar to make a delay relay? My current setup fires the left low beam after voltage sees 13V and then 5 sec later the right low…
  27. HID Latching Relay 4 Jan 2017 17:35 Thanks JZH. I did send an email to the AV company to see if they could forward my contact information to him. So far nothing. Appreciate the info though.
  28. Thurn or Lights4all? 4 Jan 2017 14:38 I've used Lights4All for my 966 CBR900 and my RC51. Top notch stuff. Much better than "Clear Alternatives" which I had tried before. Don't know about Thurn but LIghts4All I would and will buy from again. NIck
  29. HID Latching Relay 28 Dec 2016 02:09 6 hours ago, digitallyhip I have a never installed Tightwad latching relay right here! But I'm in Canada and you may be best off buying in the USA... It's a JatronX Model LR-13.5 Unfortunately the web site to purchase…
  30. HID Latching Relay 27 Dec 2016 14:17 This kit does only has low beams as HID's. The latching relay delays the firing of the 1st light util after the bike is started and then there is a 5 second delay before the other light fires off.
  31. HID Latching Relay 27 Dec 2016 01:50 I have a 2007 RWB that has Tightwad's HID kit installed on it. Previous owner installed the kit. Does anyone know where I can get ahold of the latching and delay relays that were part of this kit? Tightwad no longer has…
  32. VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years 26 Dec 2016 18:32 Glad you bough a 51 Dutchy... You won't reget it. I got 2 along with 2 VFR's. Love them all...
  33. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 6 Dec 2016 13:35 My wife says I'm done. If Honda comes out with the V4 Homologation bike I may have to thin the herd a little bit. [image: rcside.jpg] [image: minitrail.jpg] [image: vfr.jpg] [image: 0925091643a.jpg] [image:…
  34. my 07RWB project/build 26 Nov 2016 22:26 3 hours ago, 3dcycle was not to be a insult, just the first thing that popped into my head, still looks bad ass either way. NP.. it's all good... Thanks....
  35. my 07RWB project/build 26 Nov 2016 15:16 13 hours ago, 3dcycle imo the wheel stripes make them look like cheap trailer wheels. just my thought when I look at them quick. First time I've heard that but appreciate your honesty. Good luck with the future build on…
  36. my 07RWB project/build 26 Nov 2016 01:18 Looks great.... you'll need blue lugs with your white wheels and a Sebspeed clutch cover to really do it up right... [image: lugnut2.jpg] [image: vfr.jpg]

  38. From RC36 to RC51 6 Sep 2016 03:09 timmythecop, 8/9/2016 at 11:55 PM What kind of buffoon has a VFR and an RC51? [image: abcdef.jpg] The one that has 2 of each! [image: IMG_20140503_172112526.jpg][image: IMG_20140727_202447546.jpg] One that has a 90 and…
  39. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 17 Mar 2016 13:37 Rush, I've been following this thread with great interest. Since they Tyga headers have 02 bungs and sounds like they will work with a stock muffler setup (I have Staintune so that should work also) please add me to the…
  40. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 13 Mar 2016 16:00 Rush, I've been following this thread with great interest. Since they Tyga headers have 02 bungs and sounds like they will work with a stock muffler setup (I have Staintune so that should work also) please add me to the…
  41. 1991 Solo Seat Cowl 9 Mar 2016 21:18 The last one I ordered out of Britain for my 90 here in the states cost me close to 200 shipped and that did not include the pad. Very hard to find in the US. I think they were discontinued in the US around 96. I got…
  42. Rapidbike Evo And Racing Related Questions ! 9 Mar 2016 14:10 Sounds like what I'll have to do. Better start saving.... CandyRedRC46 I am running the Rapid Bike Racing plus the Rapid bike quick shifter. I went with Sato rear sets a long time ago, so it was a simple plug and play…
  43. Rapidbike Evo And Racing Related Questions ! 9 Mar 2016 13:37 I looked at the honda catalog and it looks like the only difference I can find on the rearsets (quickshifter vs non quickshifter) is nothing. The shifter is optional but the kit for that only includes the…
  44. Rapidbike Evo And Racing Related Questions ! 8 Mar 2016 21:52 Has anyone installed a Rapidbike quickshift module onto a 6th gen? If so can you post up some pictures. I have the racing module on mine and was thinking about it but I figure I'll have to change the rearsets out for…
  45. My Custom 4Th Gen Featured By Worldwide Bomber! 12 Feb 2016 15:16 Very nice article and great looking break. You have a right to be proud!!
  46. My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience 19 Oct 2015 13:20 Seb did a fantastic job job on mine and suggested using Duplicolor Metalcast paint. I also found that VHT black metallic high heat engine paint is about 99.99 percent of a match to the factory Honda engine case paint. I…
  47. My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience 17 Oct 2015 01:37 I wholeheartedly agree. Sebspeed was tops when he did my cover. A ton of compliments since I have had it installed. Top notch work and a great overall person to deal with.
  48. 3Rd Gen Rear Cowl: Removal Of Seat Pad 22 Sep 2015 21:40 I've replaced one before. You have to unlock 2 plastic push pin tangs on the pad after removing the screw. A small screw driver with a little pressure does the trick. Nick
  49. Vtech Buzzing Vibration 23 Jul 2015 22:32 I ended up turning the the rubbers around on the front seat hold downs. The top side were worn through. The vibration in the seat was alot less. I don't think it's an issue of the valves working ok. The bike runs very…
  50. Vtech Buzzing Vibration 21 Jul 2015 15:57 Not to make light BUT the battery is lock down so as not to vibrate and it is right under the seat. The battery is tied down. I'm gonna keep looking for something loose on the outside of the motor.. Thanks...
