All 45- Wow Penske 8987 on my 98' built by Traxxion Dynamics. Hands down the best mod I ever did on the bike.
- A Look Inside The Britten I got to see... and hear a Britten at New Hampshire during some exhibition laps back when the AMA used to go there back in the early 90's. I forget who rode it. Amazing bike. When you see bikes race in person and can…
- How Many 5Th Genners Bought Theirs Brand New? Bought mine new in Spring of 98'... $9899.00 if I remember correctly... Many mods later we're still together. :wheel:
- Delkevic 14" Stainless- '98 5Th Gen Any stainless will change color over time at exhaust temps... it's normal. Can't help with the spots though.
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen [image: View Post]Stucky, on 13 June 2012 - 06:30 PM, said: Well I pulled the trigger; $500 for a barely used (200 miles on it) 8987 seemed hard to pass up. If it isn't as good a deal as I thought, oh well I can handle…
- Penske 8987 Rear Shock on a 5th Gen I have the 8987 and love it! ... I've had it on for several years with no issues. Got mine from Traxxion Dynamics. Only caution I can give is take your time adjusting the high and low speed damping. While initally…
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run Got mine! ... Thanks Dan! Great quality product ... now it just needs to warm up so I can put them on.
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run Spoke with Dan today.... done deal. :fing02:
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run Seeing as they likely will be the last... I better get a pair. You can add me to the list. My PAIR system has been removed for years, but this will clean things up very nicely.
- The Pine Sol degreaser thread So do you use the Pine-Sol streight or do you dilute it? The carbs on the Nighthawk are in need of a good cleaning and thought I would try it.
- I was hit by a car this morning I get picked on by some of my buddies for the "Princess Leah Hair Doo Effect" the bike has with the Givis on... I need to show them this post... I've been telling them all along they double as bumpers.
- VFR 1200 Headlights [image: View Post]HispanicSlammer, on 27 June 2010 - 05:34 AM, said: Is there any major or even minor bikes that come standard with HID? Aftermarket HID kits are not designed with the arc in the right place as a…
- Replacement head light bulbs Years ago I bought a set of Laser cut adapter rings. Just snip off the two lower tabs and slip the ring over the bulb. There is a tab on the bulb that fits into a notch on the ring to keep the alignment spot on. Only…
- Who crashed on NC28, Red 5th gen I can't watch... It's kinda like watching when they do a blood draw... Can't look at that either.
- Benefits of a Power Commander on a 5th Gen PC worked well for me. Made the throttle a bit smoother. I too spent the money to have it tuned on a dyno. It was a bit better still. Then I added a Turbo City FPR. Made it too rich so I took the PC out thinking I would…

- Is repainting factory exhaust headers feasable? Jet-Hot ?? Yeah... Right... Ok... [image: Posted Image] jet-hot round 2 003.jpg Jet-Hot sucks!!! This was after the second attempt... Don't waste your money. You're better off with a stainless Motad or something similar.
- 2010 Vfr1200f Sorry........... I obviously am an idiot and can't use the Gallery Post Tool :squid:
- 2010 Vfr1200f Most have probably seen these, but here's the lot. 001.jpg 002.jpg 003.jpg 004.jpg 005.jpg 006.jpg 007.jpg 008.jpg 009.jpg 010.jpg 011.jpg 012.jpg 013.jpg 014.jpg 015.jpg 016.jpg 017.jpg 018.jpg 019.jpg 020.jpg 021.jpg…
- Time For Another Oil Change/.. Mobil 1 here. *Looks around* Look out for the Moly. It works good to keep the muffler bearings quiet though. *Runs away*
- Trackday + Centerstand Removal I don't think the 6th gen is much different in that area than the 5th gen. I was able to flex the header pipe enough to get the bolt out. It was a tight squeeze but it did come out. Once I got it out I shortened the…
- Rear Wheels/tires, The End All Discussion See, now this was helpful. I thought the 8 spokers were 17x5. Now I know. Might have to look for one to make the switch. :rolleyes:
- Staintune Spuds - In Or Out? 5th gen. No Spud. No Problem. :biggrin:

- Electric Shift Wow!! :huh: We went all the way from Wheelers to Corvettes in like 5 posts on that one! :unsure: Must be some sort of record. :goofy:
- Crush Washers For Oil Bolt It's not so much for the seal to prevent leaks. But to help to prevent you from stripping out the drain threads. You tighten the bolt against the washer which is soft and crush it as opposed to wasting the threads in…
- Check Out This 2009 Vfr1000 Info... :schla15: :schla15: :schla15: Wake me up when it's over...................
- Givi E460 I elected to go with the tubular mounts on my 5th gen. instead of the wing rack. I can take off or put on the side racks in 1 or 2 minutes when I need the side cases. Otherwise, the side racks are off the bike.…
- Old 1000cc V4 Rumour... Since it's a prototype they must be making it small to save money. :warranty: Maybe the production model will be Super Sized !! :goofy:
- Shoot Me Now Please Incert pukeing emoticon here.............
- Tired Of Having A Hot Vfr? AB-Oz I would suggest that a lot (but not all) of the "my VFR runs hot" babble that goes on is because we have a digital temperature readout instead of a dial. Now we are more conscious of the numbers instead of the…

- Just Found This Article. Go to www.motorcyclenews.com and search (top right) 1000cc VFR. The article is at the bottom of the list. For those who need to know.
- Just Found This Article. I know. I did the link wrong :pissed: Anyway it's about a patent filed by Honda for what looks like a 1000cc V5 street bike. I know, It doesn't mean they are going to make it. But lets hope.
- Just Found This Article. Just found this article. What ever it really is. It's interesting if true. Motorcycle News Linky More fuel on the fire. :rolleyes:
