Last 50 of 61- 1994 VFR (4th Gen) - Starter engagement issues when warm starting Oooh that's nasty. In any case, my friend is able to take a look/fix in a few weeks time. We will see what's going on in there. Thanks again guys. I hope not to have wasted your time. It was looking like something I'd…
- Return of the 5th generation Nice work! She's Purdy.
- A new VFR in the garage... Keep as concourse. One day she'll win something!
- Halfway there Looking good! Yes, pull the forks through the triples up to an inch, also throw a few thick washers under the rear shock mount to bring up the rear. Don't put too many in though, else the top shock mount will rotate.
- Well, It is different... It's lovely! I'd rather see the side strakes of a 4th Gen up the top ribbon though...
- Honda V4 racing in the IOMTT Need to beef up the R/R as well. Does anyone know if Yamaha R1 units are a compatible retrofit?
- 4Th Gen Fork Options zRoYz Yep just to be very clear we are all different, there are many things in this world that aren't required but nice to have. One point I will make if you haven't say ridden a VFR set up say like mine then you have…
- 4Th Gen Fork Options Regarding brakes, the only change I will make in the future is braided lines. That said, with decent pads and fluid I don't feel the need for better stoppers. She will stand on her nose no problem now. I can't recommend…
- 4Th Gen Fork Options Hi Trevor, Fellow Aussie here with a 4th gen. In the interest of keeping mine as stock and showroom as possible I opted for springs and re-valve for the front, re-valve for the rear. I sent the forks and shock to…
- Continental Recall & Review This is just a short review and overall happiness thread for Continental. Dad (Triumph RS 955i) and I (4th Gen VFR) both were running ContiSportAttack 2 fronts with ContiRoadAttack 2 rears. Our fronts were part of the…
- An Idiots Guide To New Tires Try Continental.
- That Was Close... Caught On Tape. Pictures can be deceiving but seriously is that road rated at 110km/h? That looks like fun, apart from the fauna. Obviously this road is not in a Nanny State. If it were Victoria, that would be 80-90 limited. Cooked…
- RVF800RR Build Awesome! That's the info I was going to scour today before doing some drawings for sh!ts and giggles and hopefully some enlightenment :)
- Helmet Light We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
- 94 Cafe Project I understand now :)
- 94 Cafe Project Sell this good bike so that someone has a good stock model they can appreciate. Find one in need of TLC - THEN do the mods you are planning. Sorry to come across mean. I know it is your bike and your choice, so I…
- 1989 250 Cc V4 Ripper little bikes. They sound awesome with a pipe and look good to boot.
- RVF800RR Build Reading up about the changes to MotoGP frames over time - Honda always had the right idea, way back to RC45. Long front engine mounts, attached to the engine as close to the crankshaft line appear to be de rigeur .…
- Hi-Viz Helmets and clothing As long as they don't make this mandatory in Australia I will be happy. I choose not to wear Hi-Viz because I believe the jury is out in that regard when it comes to a dense population of numbskull car drivers.…
- VFR sighted on Onion website. Must be an American humour thing. I don't find it funny at all. Yes, I do have a wicked sense of humour. Can someone please explain this to me?!?
- OzVFR go to Phillip Island That looked like a heap of fun! My 4th gen has reworked stock forks.
- Photo of Your Bicycle and VFR In the background you can see my 20yo BMX sidecar with Sturmey-Archer 3spd hub. Needs some TLC, thinking of converting her to electric. Have a stack of suitable batteries. [image: vfr750f-1-SML.JPG] vfr750f-1-SML.JPG My…
- OzVFR go to Phillip Island Safe travels guys! Some really nice roads along that way.
- Reached a milestone today! Not far off 50,000Km on my 4th Gen. Yours looks shiny and nice for 160k. Nice work!
- Hello everyone..Just got a 97 VFR 750 for $100! My new past time is fixing it up now. Take a leaf out of hyofighter's book. That build ended up full of WIN!
- Grandson's '83 VF750F Nice and neat!
- Time to pack it in. Why I haven't replied to this thread I do not know. Much belated welcome back! So sad to read the start of this journey, but it looks like you're entering a beautiful "twilight", not to say you're past it. I think…
- If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? They are reasonably common in Australia. Guaranteed when I visit Melbourne I will see a couple. There are two I know of in my home town, one owned by a lady, which is cool. There's always a few for sale online. I…
- Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. Sending prayers and throughts for Bill. Also feeling for you under these circumstances.
- V12X Drive By I like the wheels. I'd like to adapt them to a project bike. :-) I thought the same thing... are these wheels the first time the spokes have been mounted in that fashion? I'd like to know more. Never seen that spoke…
- V12X Are the spokes pulling from a lip external to the tyre bead?!?!? WTF?!? They look so cool. Want some on my 4th gen. Can someone photoshop?
- 1984 VFkR resto begins today Awesome work! Love those big CBs too! Cheers from VIC
- Suzuki back to MotoGP with an inline-4? Anyone else notice the Suzuki catch cry/slogan/motivational for the project on the ducktail? Change & Challenge Maybe Suzuki will finally rid themselves of mediocrity and mismanagement. Australian Motorcycle News (AMCN)…
- my vfr project frankenVIXXER :D [image: View Post]Veefer800Canuck, on 17 May 2012 - 10:40 PM, said: Totally Bonkers! Piaggio MP3 meets CB600F meets VFR! With a GSF 600 Bandit frame?!?!? What the F&@K are you doing man?!? I LOVE IT!
- Top VFR mod Can't see that frame lasting long. Me not really likey. I'd rather mount the engine to a nice bar stand and fire it up for my mates after a handful of beers. I'd prefer it in a functional and beautiful bike more than…
- Cool idea, or just silly? This is an awesome idea. Maybe us Aussies could do something similar. There is a guitar effects pedal company in Australia that has done something similar with new and/or prototype pedals. Some funky units have passed…
- What about an "italian stallion" viffer Yes less is more. I would consider maybe doing that filler piece in a darker colour too. Maybe all you need to do is hide what is behind there and stop a little heat coming out, rather than emphasise another "line" in…
- What about an "italian stallion" viffer That's starting to take shape now. To my eyes the line of the fairing and tail are matching nicely.
- Video: Some Love for VFR Cool vid!
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR jeremy77 [image: 7011811517_cc325cd9cd.jpg] it's much more compact that the stock gauges. [image: 7011810949_43f430c81e.jpg] WAALLLEEE!!!
- Another thing to watch for Silly flowers! Glad you kept it upright. I imagine the Canadians have the same trouble with Maple leaves. Some Aussie natives (flora... not fauna) shed their leaves in the middle of bends. Moss can be hard to see when…
- Camera Reviews............ I just can't get past the form factor of the GoPro. The Contour gear is much more discreet.
- Phillip island island classic 2012 pics heavy HispanicSlammer, on 31 January 2012 - 05:54 AM, said: Nice post, I will feature it later if you put one of those photos at the very top of the post, or I can do it later. Done. How does that look? Thanks for the reply…
- Phillip island island classic 2012 pics heavy Hahaha I like that. Yes it was very fast. On a semi-related note, Honda Australia released a commemorative VFR750F (4th gen) replica of the similarly sponsored RC45. Remember Honda Australia produced the Rothmans…
- Phillip island island classic 2012 pics heavy [image: IMG_0878.jpg] I am definitely going again next year! Have already been to two previous. In 2011 my father and I rode down while I was still Suzuki Bandit 250 mounted. This year was VFR year and I can't wait to…
- Who rides the youngest 4th Gen???? Mine may well be the oldest with the least Km travelled. 1994 with 46000Km. She was one of the first to Australia.
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? I just had the internals of my 4th gens reworked. For all of the stuffing around, unless you're going for the look and really need the extra performace, I don't see the point. Yes later USD fork may just perform better…
- High right exhaust 4th Gen I would try Megacycle. I have a standard pos Staintune and love their work. My dad has a Megacycle on his Triumph RS 955i. Beautiful sound. Quality pipe for good price. Welcome from VIC!
- Anybody try the Continental Road Attack 2's? These are what I am putting on my 4th gen next. My dad runs Contis on his Triumph RS 955i, which for all intents and purposes was Triumphs equivalent of a VFR in size, weight and geometry. That thing rides like it is on…
- Staintune... but open to suggestions ONYA!!! Staintune FTW!! SPUD OUT!
