  1. I've Got An 8 Spoke Wheel Coming... ...what To Do...? 16 Jun 2011 16:28 [image: View Post]WingZer0n, on 16 June 2011 - 10:08 AM, said: Just checking guys is the 8 spoker a direct fit to Gen 6 swingarm? Yes. The 8-spoker has hub cutouts to let it clear exposed nuts on the inside of the cush…

  5. Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? 14 Jun 2011 20:38 FWIW, i was ordering Genmar risers from Twisted Throttle, yesterday. While I was in there, I threw in the Givi touring screen. I have a problem with spontaneous purchasing. I bought my 2004 VFR last week on a whim.…
  6. Rear Hugger - Harris vs. Powerbronze 14 Jun 2011 19:08 is your bike an VFR 800 with ABS? I noticed that some huggers weren't for the 800A. You feel that you got good quality out of that RedFox? i just bought a 2004 800A and am looking for a low-cost-but-good hugger. EDIT:…
  7. 6th gen solo racks for sale 14 Jun 2011 18:13 Ah, I see. Well, it would be a nice add-on. I may try to jigsaw some plate aluminum and use hand files to fit something. it's a pretty low priority. getting out KLRs ready for a long CDT trip is more pressing right now.…
  8. 6th gen solo racks for sale 14 Jun 2011 16:36 I just bought a 2004 with a rack like this installed. Unfortunately, on my bike, the rear passenger pegs have been removed and it is a solo seater. But, I need to keep the grab rails on, because of the hole under the…

  10. Rear Wheels/tires, The End All Discussion 13 Jun 2011 21:26 I am wondering what the better solution would be: 1. use a spacer between my Gen 6 rear wheel and my Gen 3 SSA hub interface 2. Dremel the Gen 6 rear wheel mating surface to clear the exposed bolts coming out of the gen…
  11. Vtec Shock Options 13 Jun 2011 14:49 So, it looks like my options are: 1. Ohlins S46DR1S @ ~$750 2. Try to swap the Hyperpro in my Gen 3, if the bearings can be made to fit. Cost: only time 3. Respring/revalve the stock Showa @ ~$300 with Racetech forum…
  12. Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? 12 Jun 2011 21:19 Anyone with the Givi that is available from Twisted Throttle?
  13. Vtec Shock Options 9 Jun 2011 16:45 Thanks for that info. It's weird to me, the new 2004 VFR rides as actively as my modified 1993. I didn't get maintenance records from the prior owner. He was the second owner, and only had it for 1,000 miles and one…
  14. Vtec Shock Options 8 Jun 2011 21:08 OK, riddle me this: should my aftermarket Hyperpro shock mounted in my 1993 Gen 3 drop into my 2004 Gen 6? If so, i'm done. I'd rather not take both bikes apart and find that it doesn't. I'm sort of lazy that way.…
  15. I've Got An 8 Spoke Wheel Coming... ...what To Do...? 8 Jun 2011 18:16 Thanks for the kind offers to take my nasty old 8-spoke wheel that apparently nobody wants. :-| :laughing6-hehe: I found a powdercoater that is right next to my normal bike shop. the shop will pop the tires off the…
  16. I've Got An 8 Spoke Wheel Coming... ...what To Do...? 8 Jun 2011 16:13 Arise, sleeping thread! So, I have a beautiful original 1993 VFR Fridge. I also just got an Asphalt 2004 VFR800A. I was trying to get an undertail or high-mount exhaust for my '93 to show off the gorgeous 8-spoker.…
  17. Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? 8 Jun 2011 15:55 I'm very interested in this or others like it, as well. I have a SECDEM touring lip windscreen in Euro smoke grey on my '93. I love it. At 6', it sends the wind right up to the chin bar of my Shoei helmet, and is a very…
  18. Vtec Shock Options 8 Jun 2011 15:22 Ryanme17 BoulderGeek I am wondering if this my best/lowest cost solution under $500? I know that stock shocks suck. I gave my KLR Showa away and had a custom shock done by Cogent Dynamics. But, since the VFR isn't going…
  19. Vtec Shock Options 8 Jun 2011 13:59 So, i just got a Gen 6 (2004). Prior bike is 1993 VFR750 with Hyperpro that i had custom built with longer pushrod and spring/valving for my riding. Unfortunately, that shock isn't going to fit my 2004, from what I have…
  20. What did you own before your 6th Gen? 8 Jun 2011 13:50 First bike was that well-loved classic Yamaha XJ650Rj Seca650, US model. 55,000 on that. then 1991 BMW R100 GS Paris Dakar. 52,000 <-------------------- 1993 VFR750F in pearl crystal white. Still have it, feeling…
  21. Vtec....something new to add? 7 Jun 2011 14:42 Thanks for the comments, vanion2. I have always thought that my gen 3 VFR with Hyperpro/Racetech suspension was the best of all worlds for me. I'm much more Sport Touring than SuperSport/Race Replica. I did assume that…
  22. 5th Gen, Finally Finished... or is it? 7 Jun 2011 14:36 I just bought an asphalt '04 last night. I decided that the new bike means that I should sell my 1993 with white 8 spoker. These pics make me think that I should swap wheels and powder coat them to match the bikes they…
  23. Vtec....something new to add? 7 Jun 2011 14:05 I just bought a Gen 6 last night. It has a PC III in there from the prior owner. I was surprised that WOT performance doesn't seem vastly improved over my carbureted Gen 3 with K&N and 2Bros pipe. Sure, the VTEC…

  26. Blue Gauges For Less 16 May 2005 22:38 So, what's the word on blue guage mods for Gen 3 1990-1993?
  27. How to install new fork springs 26 Jun 2004 20:52 My first point to make is that I do not wish to step on any toes or contradict what has been written here. This is an excellent starting guide. I have had confusion in reading all of the guides and install information…
  28. How to install an ohlins shock 4 Jun 2004 22:04 As a newb here, it's great to have your write-up brought to my attention. My new Hyperpro rear shock is being built for me now, and I should be able to install in 2-3 weeks. I hadn't thought that it would be such an…
