All 48- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR thanks and yes, i defo need to do that!
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Rode it around a little today, had to bleed the clutch a couple times while out, it kept pumping up for some reason? Also I think the R/R fried, it started stumbling like low fuel or low battery, and the R/R was wayyyy…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR haha, why did i say low when i meant high? 15/43 is what it needed....exactly what i was thinking seb...
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Also swapped out to 15t front and shortened the chain by a link.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Thinking I should go all black on the tank front fairing and front fender. Also probably going to try and drop the subframe by 1/2 to 3/4 inch if possible. [image: a4eba6e8.jpg]
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Wanted to post a pic of the headers from the underside. [image: upama2yt.jpg] [image: y9a8emab.jpg]
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR It was the plugged vent hose causing the inconsistency. Runs much more reliably now, can tell they need synced, probably incorrectly jetted too. I just rode around the block on it I went with 16/43 but first gear seems…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR It was the plugged vent hose causing the inconsistency. Runs much more reliably now, can tell they need synced, probably incorrectly jetted too. Now I need to figure out why it's stalling when shifted into first. It…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Is the ~45 degree fitting off that 4-way connecting to the rest of the carbs a vent line? If so, to the tank or air box or atmosphere?
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR i just remembered I had the old carbs this thing came with, the hose I'm talking about is off the angled four way connection. I have the biggest one and both fuel Lines connected, just need to know where the other goes…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Yah I should have thought to snag a pic when the tank was off this morn. If it helps, it's a fuel line sized hose higher and slightly to the right if the fuel tee. Haha, I really don't think it's another fuel line, it's…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR When i opened the float bowls I pulled a random jet and it was open and really clean inside. So, Not a huge need for the fuel pump unless it drops below a certain level? Also I found a line off the carbs that looks like…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Muffler packing and battery arrived. Really need to figure out what's up with carbs, first off the old fuel pump was as full of stalagmites as the original tank and carbs were, so I'm running it off gravity right now so…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Thankfully it's not flooding anymore. I need to figure out a brake side retarder solution, neither te VFR one or 900rr seem like they're going to be easy. Anyways, I'm still waiting on my muffler packing and ytz10s…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR we have a runner! this bike was totalled in 2007 and sat in a salvage yard til 2011, and then in my garage til now, i changed the oil, put on some flea-bay carbs, a new battery and it runs! albeit not well yet, won't…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR yesterday i spooned on new tires and alot of misc-type stuff like re-tightening bolts front to back, replacing the clutch line and rc51 clutch master, today i finished welding the headers together and put the chain on,…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR been a long time, got back to work on my VFR750RR today, removed the headers to finish welding them, got some tires on the way too, going to finish this thing ASAP....
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? username 'shaneliberty' ran his looped, no cooler. my personal experience is that 3/4 gen VFRs run too cool, and makes me think bypassing the cooler with a loop could be a good idea, especially since mines much lighter…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR guys, my wheels as well as sprockets are spot-on, checked exactly the same way described above.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR kostritzer Have you checked your wheel alignment yet? I just checked the alignment of my 4th gen with the 900RR swingarm and the rear wheel was offset about 6mm to the right(throttle side). The stock 900RR left side…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR finalized the subframe mounts for now, made a simple plate steel adapter plate for each side, trial and error. when my aluminum welding skills get better, i'll cut off the old mounts and reweld them.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR besides the disappointment with the RC51 rear wheel, it's very very surprising how easy this has been. i hate to paint red, and there's no way i could afford or justify the cost of having a pro paint this thiing, so i…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR rolled it out in the light of day to take some picstures since i was pretty excited for it. [image: IMG_3436.jpg] [image: IMG_3440.jpg] [image: IMG_3439.jpg] [image: IMG_3437.jpg] [image: IMG_3438.jpg]
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR finished tacking up the rear headers and shortened the can ~6in.....used the big camera instead of the crap cell phone too! [image: IMG_3430.jpg] [image: IMG_3426.jpg] [image: IMG_3427.jpg] [image: IMG_3428.jpg]
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR so, i have had a little free time to start tacking the headers together. i used part of a V&H SV650 full system, and a set of late model GSXR headers. I also began mocking up the brackets for the rear subframe. still…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR flyguyeddy if the axle hole is bushed down to size, the rc51 rear brake stay works PERFECTLY with the 900rr swingarm. so if u wanna try the rc wheel again get one of those. make sure its an sp1 cause i thnk the others…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR alright, things are getting back into a routine and i get a little bit done most everyday.... fired the bike up yesterday....it had sat for probably close to three years since it was wadded up and needed a few things,…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR good info again. the dogbone is about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch shorter just from eyeballing it, so it'll be good to use either way since the 929/954 shock eye-to-eye is so much shorter (stroke is the same) Edited December 21,…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR thanks, good info.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR yeah, i know about the vfr swinger on 900rr's, i did that a LONG time ago, like a decade ago, but always used the 900rr plates and dogbones on the 900rr. so, yes the link plates *and* dogbones are different, but also…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR After the dust from the holidays settles some, I'll be removing the centerstand finally and will check into using the 900rr linkages with the 929 shock. also need to have another long look at a 900rr frame nearby to…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR linkages line up the same using the vfr dogbone and link, i'm about to take off the centerstand and see if the 900rr dogbone and link works and if there's any advantage (like ride height or shock leverage because they…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR just to be sure we're talking about the same left and right, you mean chain side or brake side? because i said right side as-seated (which would be the brake side) you don't do anything to the left (chain) side, it…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR the 900rr swingarm is *almost* bolt in. on the threaded adjuster side (right side as-seated) use the 900rr threaded adjuster or have 12mm removed from the vfr piece (pretty easy to find the threaded piece on ebay, i did…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR yup, haha the RC wheel has been replaced with a 900rr wheel! the cush drive needed to be moved inboard, as well as the rotor being too far outboard for the 900rr caliper hanger. you're still using a 900rr swingarm…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR my motto is to keep it simple.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR flyguyeddy the caliper hanger shouldnt be too thin, the 929 has the same distance opening as the 900rr, 255mm. unless your trying to use the 900 hanger in place of the 929 hanger....…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR flyguyeddy More detail on the RC wheel failure is required. I might have the same issues with my 929 rear wheel... you might. on the RC rear wheel i tried, would have required moving the sprocket/cush drive inboard…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR just wanted to give a small update. i gave up on the RC51 rear wheel, the hub area is way too wide on both sides, no real way to get correct chainline and make caliper/rotor work. much easier to just bolt on a 900rr…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR minor update, acquired the rest of the replacements for all the broken stuff, (one coil got smashed, the radiator & oil cooler, clutch cover, levers etc) also got a set of carbs off a recently running bike (mine sat for…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR i bought a 900rr one unmodified, cn double check but it may be the same part number.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Have a little bit to report since the last visit, the swingarm and suspension went on with ease, mocked up the fr/rr subframes and bodywork better. on the swingarm, as reported earlier, some material needs removed form…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR flyguyeddy So really, one could get an rc wheel and use the 929 axle with 929 bearings then, correct? just hafta make a new center spacer or use the 929 spacer if its the right length. I have 929 rotors. that is…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR I stand corrected on the RC rim Vs VFR/F3, the OD of the RC bearings is same as 929/954, VFR/F3 OD is smaller by at least 3-4mm, so it's not as easy as just swapping bearings, but that doesn't mean it can't work. you…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR slippytarmac Awesome, i'm just starting my own project. I didn't realise you could use the vfr front wheel with the 929 axle, could you give me the sizes. Would love to see pics as you progress. the VFR wheel can work,…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR dude lets see a pic of the rd400 !!!! Project looks like its off to a good start :fing02: the RD is in storage with the rest of our home-goods, and it stalled about 6 months ago when we found out we were moving and i…
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR So, a month or so back i made a thread posting up some ideas I was milling around in my mind of what i was going to do with my recently acquired and wadded up '95 VFR At the same time, i'm rebuilding a 100yr old house,…
- Picked up a '94 a couple of weeks ago...think I did good? WEIRD, I heard a V4 coming down the street a couple days ago and got to my window in time to see it, and it had the same V&H can as yours, what are the odds! you were heading down Prytania towards the CBD...anyways,…
