  1. Cleaning deep ingrained grime - advice needed! 19 Mar 2012 21:27 Hi All, I'm restoring my bike , its been used by a courier and I don't think it's ever been cleaned since it's been out of the showroom! I've tried blasting it with a paraffin gun and it's removed some of the surface…
  2. 18 inch rear wheel on VFR 750 14 Mar 2012 08:00 kostritzer seansparkle SamW Are you aware that the RC30 rear wheel is a single nut and the VFR a 4 bolt/nut? The Dunlop D207 for the V-Rod is a decent tire, not up to the best of today, but decent. I have an RC30 if you…

  4. 18 inch rear wheel on VFR 750 11 Mar 2012 22:35 Hi All, More questions for my RC30 replica project! I have an RC30 18 inch rear wheel which I will be putting on my 4th gen VFR. The original is 17 inch so in effect I will be raising the ride height by 1/2 an inch. I'm…
  5. Stickers and their removal 1 Mar 2012 14:44 I've found the best way by far is to heat with a hot air gun (on the lowest setting and quite a distance from the surface otherwise you could melt the plastic) and peel off. Any remining glue and be got off quite easily…
  6. 'Gravity tank' for VFR RC30 project 28 Feb 2012 20:45 Thanks for the reply, that's really good of you to go to that trouble.
  7. Fork options for rc30 replica project 25 Feb 2012 13:04 One of the best ever vfr rides i have had used the CBR 900 98/99 forks and yokes with a 17" wheel in front... The rake/trail was spot on. Coupled with an aftermarket rear shock the handling was always inviting more. The…
  8. Fork options for rc30 replica project 24 Feb 2012 07:40 I think I've found a solution on how to effectively shorten the stock VFR forks, the stanchions need to be lowered 30mm in the yokes, so I thought, could I find shorter stanchions? I've had a good search around the web,…
  9. 'Gravity tank' for VFR RC30 project 22 Feb 2012 19:00 Brilliant, thanks for that, looks like it's a go-er then!
  10. Fork options for rc30 replica project 22 Feb 2012 18:54 Thanks for the replies, I would like to go down the 929/954 route as I love the look of USD forks, it is an option but would like to look at any possibilities which don't require too much modification. I'd prefer to…
  11. 'Gravity tank' for VFR RC30 project 22 Feb 2012 13:29 Hi All, Second question from my RC30 replica project, I want to use an NC30 tank on my VFR750 (4th gen) for my RC30 project (would love an RC30 one but seem to be as rare as rocking horse, er, teeth). From what I can…
  12. Fork options for rc30 replica project 22 Feb 2012 13:23 Hi All, I'm new to the forum and although I've been looking round this site for months getting lots of useful info I've just started posting! I'm starting a 1996 VFR750FT to RC30 replica project (I will be starting a…
