  2. F4/F4i Forks - Apologies in advance 23 May 2020 07:17 jkboyd On my 5th gen I went with Jamie's recommendation and used 6th gen fork tubes with F4i lowers. I really like the setup. [image: 332867140_IMG_0616(3).JPG.eabd03fd721104abf938189b9216d847.JPG] I'm considering using…
  3. 8th Gen forks and brakes on a 6th Gen 15 May 2020 09:03 MiniCarver You should be able to reuse your 6th gen master cylinder but I'm not 100% on that because I'm using nissin radial master cylinders. My 6th Gen has 14 stamped on the master cylinder and the 8th Gen also has 14…

  5. 8th Gen forks and brakes on a 6th Gen 23 Apr 2020 15:08 Looking at ditching the combined brakes on my 2003 and I like the look and simplicity of the 8th setup. Anyone know if 8th Gen forks or even just the fork lowers will work on a 6th gen? Would like to retain the 6th…
  6. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 8 Feb 2019 12:18 MiniCarver Now that 8th gen parts are becoming more and more available via ebay. I was able to do all 2014 suspension/wheel/rotors with Brembo monoblocks. [image: IMAG3850.thumb.jpg.a2bab332b8cb80c4aae1c20314d15e0d.jpg]…
  7. Does FH020AA RR require a mounting plate? 2007 VFR 3 Jan 2019 08:05 I bought the 24.95 mounting bracket from roadster cycle but had to cut a corner off it when fitting it to my 6th gen as it fouled the fairing bracket. Would still recommend though as it makes fitting the fh020 a breeze.…

  10. Honda VFR800 2017 Spare Key ? cost after market 1 Aug 2017 19:05 JZH It wouldn't surprise me at all if the HISS systems were the same. Blank keys can be purchased online, as can the transponder chips. There are videos out there showing how to make a programming lead and how to use it…
