All 40- Is This Chain Dead? :) Update from my last post here.. I ordered OEM sprockets and 108 link EK-SRX chain what I received.. OEM sprockets for a ~1982 CB750 and 120 link EK-SRX chain with no master link After calling them up and explaining they…
- Is This Chain Dead? :) I've recently started to be plagued by random clunking sounds as my chain smacks against the underside of the swingarm (at least I think that's what's happening). It could do with a tighten but as they start to stretch…
- 5Th Gen Bolt On Tail Swap? What about something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/290771655785 [image: TL009-Clear-a.jpg] Maybe not exactly that one, but something similar, would require like 2 or 3 small screw holes for mounting and one for…
- 5Th Gen Bolt On Tail Swap? Impressive, have you sorted out a tail light design or just gonna steal the F4i setup? There's plenty of room on the back there to make/fit an integrated light. Personally I hate the look of indicators that stick out…
- Found On Ebay - Alpinestars Magnetic Tankbag $20 I've got myself a dubious chinese LED flasher relay, LED bulbs, full set of fairings, windscreen (replaced with ZeroG recently), levers, grips, bar ends, brake discs/pads, fuel cap, leathers (pakistani, not chinese) and…
- RVF800RR Build Wow, yeah that is complex.. but at least the power delivery through turning handlebars makes sense now. Previously the only one I'd seen had a weird looking swingarm at the front.. kind of like the Bimota Tesi but I…
- 5Th Gen Bolt On Tail Swap? @Keef: Yeah, it is kind of a classic look.. I can agree with that but it does sort of work with newer models too.. take this 2007 CBR1k as example (07 being my favourite year for CBR bodywork, 600 included). The height…
- 5Th Gen Bolt On Tail Swap? For aesthetic purposes, my opinion for the perfect height is for when the passenger seat or seat cowl top, lines up near perfectly with the top of the fuel tank both in height and angle like this RC45. I've never really…
- Yae Or Nae? I say yay, but with Beck's pittures as reference rather than the originals.. and a full size tank grip instead of the thin bar
- Riding Again After An Accident Worst crash I had was actually the day of my license training. So literally the first day I had ridden, passed all the initial skill training such as slalom, slow speed balance, emergency stops, figure 8's etc without…
- Lots Of Weight Added To My Rear I recall a few years back sending my 250 in for new tyres, when I went to pick it up the mechanic greeted me with a concerned look on his face and an "I tried to balance your front wheel, but there are 3 major buckles…
- Best "winter" / Cold Weather Tires For Vfr Pirelli Angels are a personal favourite of mine, and they seem to last forever. Doesn't get as cold here in 'straya though. I think the main thing is, much like other items, any half decent brand will do for the street…
- Vfr8 Streetfighter The worst heat I've seen comes from slow moving traffic in direct sunlight and 30C+ air temp, where it can climb to 109C. I believe the slow moving air counters the electric fans which makes the slow traffic worst for…
- Are Vfr's Chick Magnets? tomk1960 My GF loves my Interceptor, so I'd have to say yes, they are chick magnets. :rolleyes: - But what about your bike? :goofy: *2 drums and a cymbal walk into a bar* But anyways, for me at least it tends to attract…
- Consensus On Replacement Front Brake Rotor? I just found these today: http://www.ebay.com/...0b6ff27&vxp=mtr Says they are Japanese - NOT Chinese - and of better quality than Galfer. Now, I don't know about that, but if it is just as good as OEM I may bite the…
- Consensus On Replacement Front Brake Rotor? I, much like swas bought chinese ebay wave rotors about 2 years and 20,000kms ago to replace warped OEM rotors. Up close the quality looked great, installation was easy and I haven't touched them since they went on.…
- How To Sure The 99 50Th Anniversary 99 Vfr 800？ From what I can find.. the 50th anniversary VFR800 is an FiX model (1999) completely standard with this fancy paint job: [image: vfr800anniv.jpg] There was a special RS Performance anniversary model which has the VIN…
- Wrong Fluid For Clutch? Any brand should do fine imo, but definitely Dot 4 Dot 4 of any kind will mix perfectly with old Dot 4, Dot 3 will not and the non-mixing can cause problems Dot 5.1 or whatever it's called is silicon based and…
- Most miles on a 5th Gen? Just ticked over a couple days ago and showing no sign's of slowing.. [image: post-20799-0-16484900-1347622511.jpg]
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) I would be having a go at this almost daily if I had my own compressor... but alas I don't, nor my own car and I feel bad asking my housemate to drive me across town repeatedly for what has so far provided no results. I…
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) Looks good Helweg, I just did a search through ASF - aus streetfighter forum and found about 8 different people who have successfully done this conversion with different width wheels and tyres up to 18x9 rims (though…
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) Seems like this particular rim is a no-go.. still not sure why it's a different outcome to the other attempts in this thread though. I really didn't want to be the first one to fail and give up but I'm not sure what…
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) reaper7767, on 09 August 2012 - 06:07 PM, said: try a ***/55/17 tire, the 45 is way too small even for the stock rim We tried 3 x 200/55/17 tyres before the current 240/45/17 The 45 in the middle is only the ratio of…
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) haha yeah, I've done that before with car tyres on steelies a few times. Consider it a last resort to try at home since there's no way a legitimate business will try that for me in their workshop. Another problem being…
- Wanted: 5th gen Passenger handles Haha, didn't even see you on this forum.. Glad I could help a VFRbro out (:
- Need Recommendation for Nice But Cheap Pazzo-style Levers http://www.ebay.com....tm/270962426011 Foldable, adjustable length to change from full size/shorty and you choose the colour of each individual part on purchase to match the bike. Once installed, adjusted and each…
- Kids Leather Riding Gear? ... ANyone see a reason that MX boots couldn't be worn on the street as a passenger? His boots still fit him and if I can save the $ in that area without a compromise - I'd like to. If they're comfortable to wear then…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May I had a look around about the F4i setup and it looks like you can use 6th gen upper triple, any VFR800 ('98-'12) wheel and rotors, 6th gen fender fits with only 4 of 6 bolts which is plenty anyway... but calipers, must…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May [image: View Post]Veefer800Canuck, on 29 May 2012 - 12:45 AM, said: If you're going with a more angular tail, consider swapping the fual tank to a 6th gen item. It's also more angular, and might help lead the fairing…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May Had a bit more of a play around recently, and figured I'd take some more pics while she's nice and clean. Changes since before include: Dubious Chinese gold anodized brake/clutch levers, with adjustable length and fold…
- Found an NSR150SP rear wheel [Wasn't sure where to post this, feel free to relocate/remove it if it doesn't follow the rules] Was having a look on Boostcruising classifieds and came across this for sale: http://www.boostclas...P-for-Sale.html I…
- How old are our VFR owners? I got my license about a month after turning 18, shipped up a 1984 Honda VT250f-II from Melbourne to ride on my restricted license. Put about 15,000kms on it in the 13 months I had it before it started burning oil…
- Tightwad HID kit I've been hearing a lot about this guaranteed glare for oncoming traffic, as well as the term "plug n blind" being used for the HID kits which utilize stock reflectors.. And I know that the stock reflector design can…
- Rode 2-up for the first time tonight. I have a question. First few times I took a passenger I got nothing but complaints about how uncomfortable the positioning is for the grab handles (5th gen). Took the handles off and never had a problem since. For spirited riding, 1 arm…
- My 5.5gen VFR Awesome job, I love seeing projects like this come to completion. Have you got another one lined up yet?
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) This looks like such a brilliant idea that I wanna give it a crack too.. As my overall colour is still blue I was thinking a white WRC style rim (think Subaru Impreza) would suit nice. Somethin like this: [image:…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May Generic eBay 55w H4 kit.. didn't have a brand name. I have the relay under the right hand side fairings, and both ballasts underneath the front of the tank. The shape of the shield on the light makes the beam point…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May Not the best photo here showing the light spread but the driveway was full of cars and the garage was the only flat ground I could use. As you can see its the standard spread that the original headlight has, and sitting…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May They are just the plug-n-play variant rather than projector, but the spread is quite good. From directly infront you can crouch down to level with the light and still look directly at it with no problem.. much easier on…
- 5th Gen Movistar Project - Small update 28-May As much as I love Honda's styling ideas I always thought the Viffer needed some more colour. Painting the original fairings would have been quite expensive, allowing no room for error and leaving me without any spare…
