  1. dmarc failure 18 Aug 2021 08:45 I seem to have finally been able to change my email address for the forum (so different servers in the route for any notifications to me) and this morning I received a correctly formatted notification from a different…
  2. dmarc failure 10 Aug 2021 08:01 Logged out of the site and back in and I am now able to post without problem. No idea what the actual problem was, but it's specific to this site. As I say, everything else works perfectly. Also cannot really say if…
  3. dmarc failure 10 Aug 2021 07:55 Nope, same sparse HTML. It's not interpreting the mime format at all. Also, this morning I was unable to reply to this topic. I click on reply and I see the box to type in the reply but that immediately disappears and…
  4. dmarc failure 9 Aug 2021 19:15 Recently, all notifications I receive regarding new messages to a followed thread (may not be limited to just this one thread) are just pages of HTML code, rather than the formatted message. I have not changed anything…
  5. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 18 Sep 2020 09:56 12 hours ago, lplplplp ahhh, so stock cams? interesting... If you're referring to Mohawk's bike, then that would be wrong-ish. Their profile is not stock at all (based on RC45), but I seem to recall he had stock cams…
  6. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 18 Sep 2020 09:49 6 hours ago, Cogswell … You'd have maybe the only 4valve all the time VTEC out there. Ah but wouldn't be VTEC then would it. 😀
  7. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Sep 2020 14:48 1 hour ago, lplplplp yep you are right, I'll probably not go down that road unless I get a bee in my bonnet. I modify stuff just because I can, if it was a calculated thought process I probably wouldn't be riding bikes…
  8. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Sep 2020 13:23 1 hour ago, lplplplp sorry, I'm talking out my ass....I have not ridden one. just looked at the specs. and also the fuel consumption is apparently not great. but like I said , in that genre its one of the best looking…
  9. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Sep 2020 13:21 1 hour ago, lplplplp challenge accepted! 🙂 150hp is needed to match the 1200 power to weight .... assuming a few pounds of weight loss, so yeah thats a tall order and sounds like supercharger territory, Im sure Ive…
  10. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Sep 2020 11:15 22 hours ago, lplplplp yeah it (vfr1200) might have 170hp but its a bit of a pig. but now I look at it the power to weight is quite a bit higher. always loved the look. Doesn't have to be anything like a pig. My eVo4 's…
  11. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Sep 2020 11:13 46 minutes ago, lplplplp 140....I assume that's supercharged. if not then where do I sign! Mohawk is not at 140. More like 120 something, I forget exactly what. I've ridden with him and it's a nice quick bike. I still…
  12. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 19 Jun 2020 14:59 57 minutes ago, sfdownhill Flya, you’ve hit on the difficulty in interpreting dyno charts - what do they mean to the way a motorcycle actually rides? If one is lucky enough to take the two motorcycles in question -…
  13. VFR1200 Project Bike 16 Jun 2020 17:47 2 hours ago, Coxylaad wow. thats good news for crosstourer owners, upgrade headers and remap and bosh massive power increase! does the crosstourer have much more low down torque? in reality all these detuned engines…
  14. VFR1200 Project Bike 16 Jun 2020 15:08 1 hour ago, Coxylaad eh?! surely not! so an exhaust change, and ecu flash and you go from 127bhp to 170?! seems like a massive leap in performance. Well the ECU has complete control, as we know from multiple ride modes…
  15. VFR1200 Project Bike 16 Jun 2020 07:51 20 minutes ago, rtho782 Interesting, I didn't realise how close they were! Literally the same engine. The exhaust was pretty much the only way they changed the power characteristics - well and the ECU mapping of course.…
  16. VFR1200 Project Bike 15 Jun 2020 10:15 Coxy and I have been discussing this since almost the beginning and I truly admire his abilities to create his own frame. But I still wonder, why. Honda did the hard work and made a great frame in cast alloy, why bother…
  17. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 7 Jun 2020 09:21 I have been following this thread with interest, but have rather lost track of what's available. I am interested in a system that would fit a 5th Gen 800 motor, with 8th Gen front rads and high level underseat mufflers…
  18. VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 15 May 2020 11:06 I'm also working on an RC46=>RC45 replica so all info on similar projects is of interest. However I have NO intention of eliminating the Single Sided SwingArm as that is so much a part of what makes an RC45. Yes I know,…
  19. Another Inverted Fork Conversion (6th Gen) 22 Feb 2020 13:17 VFR800R, 11/29/2009 at 6:13 AM …Also, the ZX-10R uses 210mm fork spacing (the triples are 214mm) … Sorry to dredge all this up again, but just came across this. What the hell does it mean? I guess 214mm is the forkleg…
  20. Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts 31 May 2019 08:30 Only just seen this. It's a while since I did this work, but checking the parts list again shows that as I recall, there is a spring circlip on the end of the shaft as it pushes into the FDU. So to pull the shaft out…
  21. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 12 Apr 2019 16:43 25 minutes ago, SEBSPEED I understand that I might be asking a lot here... but is there a chance of doing a test fit of the new 8th gen header prototype on a 6th gen before they go into production? I'm with Seb on that.
  22. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 9 Apr 2019 08:23 14 hours ago, Stobl I sent Simmi/ Jeff an email to see if I could still get a set sent to the US, since I haven't been able to find a supplier over here, but have yet to hear back from them. If I can get a hold of a…
  23. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 29 Mar 2019 20:09 50 minutes ago, sfdownhill If all goes according to plan, the new 8 gen headers will be the same as the new 5/6 gen headers from the collector exit all the way forward [including the rear primaries] until the front…
  24. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 29 Mar 2019 18:12 2 hours ago, CornerCarver I am not aware of anyone mounting 6G pipes on an 8G bike, though I have seen many 5G high mounts (Staintune and others) mounted on the 8G. I dont think the undertail on the 8G would support the…
  25. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 29 Mar 2019 12:17 Quick question about the 8th Gen version. it will need the splayed front headers to clear the rads, but will the outlet accept the 6th Gen high level pipe/mufflers?
  26. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 29 Mar 2019 09:41 I am actually very interested in at least one Lextek system but currently not really in a position to do much about it having been knocked off my bike and only just returned from hospital. Uppermost in my mind right now…
  27. '95 Vfr750 Conversion 1 Mar 2019 14:55 Not a bike sold here in the UK (I don't think) so I'm not familiar with it, but it would appear to use the exact same hub as the VFR750, but it also has the single nut fixing. Shame that Honda decided to use a different…
  28. '95 Vfr750 Conversion 1 Mar 2019 10:12 The Phantom, 1/17/2009 at 10:51 AM ... Single nut rear wheel can be achieved by combining a VFR400 hub assembly (fits into the 4th Gen SSS)... Old thread, but had to correct this. An NC30 or NC35 hub is indeed the same…
  29. Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) 26 Feb 2019 14:41 21 minutes ago, Smack On to fairings, yes, there are some European manufacturers and THOSE would probably be cost prohibitive for ME. Understood, I just had a look at Beasley Composites and they can supply RC45 parts…
  30. Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) 26 Feb 2019 14:34 My time frame is similarly 'extended' as I have many other products concurrently underway. Have fun with using ethanol. You do understand that more power does does not necessarily mean better acceleration, that being a…
  31. Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) 26 Feb 2019 12:15 I haven't checked on Beasley Composites yet. I was going to do that yesterday, but forgot. I'm going to look today, but I suspect probably not ideal for me as I'm in the UK and I somehow doubt they are. Why do you want…
  32. Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) 25 Feb 2019 19:33 flyguyeddy, 10/29/2011 at 8:07 PM get a 4th gen frame and put a vfr800 engine in it 😉 yea yea, i know it probably wont fit very easily, but if u cut that swingarm pivot off of the back of the engine your halfway…
  33. RC45 replica project 25 Feb 2019 11:31 monstar, 2/11/2017 at 2:46 AM I've only found cbr900rr swingarm conversions talkabout here. Nobody has got anything else to work? Heard about 600rr but the linkage didn't work or was too difficult. Just found this…
  34. RC45 replica project 25 Feb 2019 11:22 monstar, 2/6/2017 at 10:32 PM Anyway, here's a pic a the bike with the tank cover sitting on top. I still need the tail to get the tank/tail/subframe relationship worked out. ... Resurrecting this as I'm starting a…
  35. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 10 Feb 2019 13:51 1 hour ago, Stray Unfortunately that dyno didn’t provide torque values. We could calculate that. If someone was prepared to enter the power figures (read from the dyno graph) into a spreadsheet that could then be used…
  36. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 4 Feb 2019 12:12 I agree with both Seb and Mohawk. The Lextek looks like a reasonable system at a good price and depending on your individual requirements, may indeed be the ideal choice. But... I would have liked to see a back to back…
  37. WTB CBR900RRW/X front forks 8 Jan 2019 13:00 I realise this is a VFR forum, but many have tried different front fork setups and it occurred to me someone may have ended up with what I need sitting around unused and in need of a good home. I'm after a complete…
  38. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 7 Jan 2019 16:01 FinnRC36, 1/25/2012 at 6:14 AM I am very happy with my VTR forks and '99 CBR900RR (same as RC51/F4i/CBR929) brakes. I did the fork valving myself without any prior experience and got lucky as they feel very good.…
  39. WTB 6th Gen muffler assy. complete in UK 5 Jan 2019 12:45 Looking for a 6th Gen VTEC complete rear muffler assembly, i.e. from link pipe to twin cans with covers and brackets. I'm in the UK, so probably has to be here due to shipping, although Europe might be possible.
  40. Gear Indicator 27 Dec 2018 18:59 Yes, they would not be powered and simply generate an electromagnetic pulse signal over the 2 wires. 2 wire Hall effect sensors for ABS are a touch more complicated.
  41. Gear Indicator 27 Dec 2018 18:37 20 hours ago, MaxSwell If you are talking about electrical stuff, I'm the same way. I view it as FM. Frickin' Majik! :wacko: Well electrics are no problem and I have designed some simple electronic circuits, but the 2…
  42. Gear Indicator 26 Dec 2018 14:10 Sorry to hear about your cold. The cough just keeps hanging around. No it's not the simple lack of a ground wire, using the mounting as the earth return. There are just 2 electrical connections. Nothing else is used and…
  43. Gear Indicator 26 Dec 2018 12:12 9 hours ago, MaxSwell As far as detecting when in 6th gear, I glance at my guages. 60 mph in 6th gear equals 4000 rpm, 65 = 4500 r's, 70 = 5000 r's. Interpolating the various in-betweens keeps my brain in use. After…
  44. Gear Indicator 25 Dec 2018 11:46 As you say, Wheel Speed Sensors are simple devices - or are they... Some vehicles (e.g. VFR1200) use 2 wire sensors. With just those 2 wires the control unit supplies power AND reads the pulse. Explain that. 😀 What are…
  45. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 19 Dec 2018 10:14 22 minutes ago, Voided76 .... I'm however sold on Alibaba, BW, and Lextek all having the same header. lol Well, from the pictures we’ve seen, they’re not the same. The Alibaba front downpipes cross over whereas the…
  46. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 19 Dec 2018 09:41 As regards the widening of the pipe after it leaves the cylinder heard, have we not established that in top level racing this has been found to be very effective? Whatever the reasons, a header pipe that widens from the…
  47. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 13 Dec 2018 10:20 12 hours ago, JZH LOL, doesn't that look familiar... Ciao, JZH That's what I thought initially, but in the picture the front pipes cross over, whereas the BW (and I think the Lextek but cannot now find the pictures) do…
  48. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 12 Dec 2018 10:05 I have to say I can see both sides of this. On the one hand, we really don't want to piss off suppliers who are being helpful and offering a good deal, but it is also true that the customer deserves to know what they're…
  49. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 9 Dec 2018 13:08 31 minutes ago, Dutchy I ordered my RC36-2 (VFR750F) in August? 1997 while on assignment in Finland. My dutch dealer imported it from France since no red ones were available anymore. Then the RC46 VFR800fi got…
  50. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 9 Dec 2018 13:04 2 hours ago, Voided76 how are you people arguing that these headers are any different from one another? they both have the same seams and expanded joints in the same places, when no other header before does that. they…
