  1. Where are the Older VF's hiding? 15 Jan 2011 13:44 [image: View Post]smackdoogle, on 15 January 2011 - 12:00 AM, said: So I'm window shopping for a KR or even a KF that is restorable and it'd be one thing if there were some but with ridiculous prices but I can't seem to…
  2. VF500 Exhaust 10 Jan 2011 18:46 Yes please keep us posted. Plus any info you have gathered on diameters of pipes and the incremental step ups you plan would be great since I want to attempt this on my VF1000R. Thanks
  3. VF1000R Ohlins forks? 1 Jan 2011 21:04 That was just the measurement I took in my jammies with the bike fully loaded so I didn't account for sag. Jaimie is NOT the first guy who I have heard talk about the Ohlins that way. My last bike had reworked forks and…
  4. VF1000R Ohlins forks? 1 Jan 2011 14:20 [image: View Post]Kel, on 01 January 2011 - 09:14 AM, said: I used an RC51 lower as an upper. It gave me the proper drop down. My R sits exactly the same height as stock. You can't get this drop with the stock 51 upper.…

  8. VF1000R Ohlins forks? 1 Jan 2011 13:43 I was assuming custom triples with this deal so I am not worried about using the donor triples. I had forgotten about the clip ons. That will require some thought. I just don't want it to be a situation where there is…
  9. VF1000R Ohlins forks? 31 Dec 2010 22:36 I was looking at possibilities for the VF1000R. They are very long front forks. I just went and measured mine and they were about 33" = 838mm. Ohlins universal are 800mm = 31.5". Would that be too short? This is just…
  10. Another Source For '86-'87 Fairings 28 Dec 2010 18:05 They must be having issues. I tried clicking on links on their site and got blank pages with some code on it.

  12. VF1000R 17 Dec 2010 00:27 Yes I am contemplating a full exhaust. I mentioned the RC51 since I figured I could get an aftermarket full system and then just bend and change what needed to be done. After reading what Jamie said it seems like this…

  14. VF1000R 15 Dec 2010 22:59 I have searched a lot on this site for information on the VF1000R and have not seen anyone attempt any exhausts for this or at least not discuss it. I have seen the build threads which are great, but not too much…
