  1. Good bye for now 22 May 2021 22:29 Well, I sold my Gen 5 so I wont be back until I get a gen 7 or 8. I have a new or like new gen 6 gas tank for sale if anyone needs one (comes with new OE gas cap and key). It is in the classifieds.
  2. 6TH GEN VFR HONDA RED GAS TANK WITH FACTORY GAS CAP AND KEY 250.00 SHIPPED OBO 22 May 2021 22:22 I bought this for my franken vfr project that never got off the ground. My loss is your gain. I sold my gen 5 so I have no need for this. If you need more pics let me know, 250.00 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48…

  4. More a refurb than a restore 19 Sep 2016 23:50 This place says they sell injection mold fairings. Ebay. New message from: heymanspeedmotor [image: Top Rated Seller] (33,125 [image: TurquoiseShooting Star] ) Hello friend, Yes,this fairing is injection fairing.…
  5. She has some new bits. 6 Sep 2016 22:54 Nice. What part of SLC are in you? Nice to see another local.
  6. My VFzR 5 Sep 2016 16:07 You gave me some good ideas for the gen 5 build project I have going. I am still gathering parts on the cheap so I am not ready to start a thread yet. I have a 2004 R1 front end with everything except the upper triple…
  7. My VFzR 5 Sep 2016 07:08 Nice. What year r1 front end did you use? It looks like you used the entire front end. Are those 954rr clip ons?
  8. Bike stolen and recovered. Time to track it? 28 Aug 2016 16:14 I say track it. If you lay it down, you will not feel to bad since it will still look more or less the same. And you can have some fun with it down the road if you want. Get some airtech fairings and some custom paint…
  9. Here is a shortcut to changing the oil on a 4th gen 15 Aug 2016 21:32 Sorry guys, I do not have pics. The reason is I did not think my idea would work and was actually very surprised when it did. It is pretty easy though. For the oil filter change all you need is small hands and you can…
  10. Trying To Revive A 1993 Vfr 750, Incomplete... And Flooded! 2 Aug 2016 02:33 Great work bringing the 3rd gen back to life.
  11. Here is a shortcut to changing the oil on a 4th gen 31 Jul 2016 17:20 I recently changed the oil on my 96. All of the DIY videos etc required the removal of fairings. I hate doing that for several reasons, so I tested a theory. If you have hands small enough or know someone that does you…
  12. Longer sidestand 8 Jul 2016 15:30 I think I saw and adjustable side stand on ebay. Made in china one. Or maybe it was for a 5th gen.
  13. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 12 Jul 2015 16:53 I don't have the bike and I do like the looks of it. If I could only have one bike I would choose the new vfr over anything other else. I still think the v4 is the best engine, but would want rock solid reliability…
  14. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 26 Apr 2015 16:51 Wow. This thread has inspired me to try to do something similar with my mail order bike. Right now I have: - 1999 full engine with the swing arm attached. - 2004 R1 full front end with rotors, wheel, calipers, master…
  15. Aftermarket fairing kits 27 Sep 2014 22:54 Hey Voided, thanks for sharing that. For my 5th gen rebuild I think I am going to buy from your source.
  16. Stp Multipurpose Motor Treatment Fixed Cleaned My Carbs Gen4 21 Sep 2014 02:27 As some of you know, I bought my 4th gen about two months ago for 1400.00 since it would not idle with out the choke on and would die without the choke on if let you drop below 4k rpms. So I got a deal and hoped that…
  17. Aftermarket fairing kits 17 Sep 2014 23:25 I heard Blis star and Auct marts make decent fitting sets. On my tl forum there are several members that had a good experience with auctmarts. I did email a member here that bought a set from blis star, but I am a bit…

  19. New! Fork Cartridge Kits For Vfr750 And Vfr800 11 Sep 2014 00:26 Are the forks springs a one size fits all type deal?
  20. Wanting To Do A Usd Fork Swap Using 04 R1 Front End 28 Aug 2014 04:38 OK so you can see the parts I can get with the sale for 700.00. Seems like these are my options: 1- Gen 1 r1 lower triple and 05 r6 upper. Does the ignition fit ok? 2- 954 upper and lower. Ignitions sound like it fits…
  21. Wanting To Do A Usd Fork Swap Using 04 R1 Front End 28 Aug 2014 00:19 Hi Squidzilla There's two ways you can go about the installation - you can use Honda tripleclamps (CBR929/954 or VTR1000-SP1) and use spacers to allow for the fact that the Honda triples move each fork out by 2mm over…
  22. Wanting To Do A Usd Fork Swap Using 04 R1 Front End 27 Aug 2014 17:00 I read somewhere on this forum that there is someone that did this. Not sure if it worked out well for that person. Anyhow, here is what I can get so far for 700.00 shipped. Do I need anything else from the 04 R1 to do…
  23. A Question For The Electrical Guru's 18 Aug 2014 00:39 Did you install the VFR ness? Is that what you bought from wiremybike? yes, I installed the Conversion Harness to use 98-99 R/R, I had the VFR ness for the 4th gen on my bike, if someone needs one without the other…
  24. Nobody Wanted It, So It's Getting A Makeover, Big Time! 17 Aug 2014 17:08 I do like the all black but it seems like a waste of a good chance to do something very few people have. Here in the USA we all have red for our gen 4 and 5's.
  25. A Question For The Electrical Guru's 17 Aug 2014 15:40 Did you install the VFR ness? Is that what you bought from wiremybike?
  26. Nobody Wanted It, So It's Getting A Makeover, Big Time! 17 Aug 2014 00:56 For color ideas I would look at the ebay plastics vendors inventory and see if there is a color or scheme that inspires you. Then copy it and spray away.
  27. I Just Got A 1996 Vfr 750 14 Aug 2014 22:10 Thanks for the replies. I hate to say but I only paid 1400.00 for this bike. He let it go cheap since it would not idle without the choke. Can you PM some pics of that seat or post them? Thanks for the tip for the…
  28. I Just Got A 1996 Vfr 750 14 Aug 2014 03:00 Hey thanks. I will do carbon fiber wrap from China. Unless you really think 3m will be the best choice.
  29. I Just Got A 1996 Vfr 750 14 Aug 2014 01:13 Pictures added. I am thinking of doing a china carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the right and left lowers. Not sure how well it will hold up to the heat though.
  30. Has Anyone Used These No Cut Ebay 4Th Gen Sliders? 11 Aug 2014 21:08 Hell, I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. I wish we had forum members that made custom parts for our bikes. On my TLR site we have a guy named vandriver that makes all kinds of nice stuff if you do not mind…
  31. Has Anyone Used These No Cut Ebay 4Th Gen Sliders? 11 Aug 2014 01:26 Well my issue is I have 8 motor cycles and I am more concerned if one of them gets tipped over. I have not laid down a bike in 23 years so I am not at all worried about this. Maybe I can ask one of my forum members from…
  32. Has Anyone Used These No Cut Ebay 4Th Gen Sliders? 10 Aug 2014 23:23 Dang. So what are my options? I want to protect the bike from a tip over since it I think the day will come where I will not be able to get OEM plastics anymore. And Chinese plastic kits are non existent from what I can…
  33. Has Anyone Used These No Cut Ebay 4Th Gen Sliders? 10 Aug 2014 17:21 http://www.ebay.com/itm/331268187728?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Not a bad price and no cutting is required. Does anyone have any experience with these?
  34. I Just Got A 1996 Vfr 750 1 Aug 2014 03:17 Thanks. What are the odds one of the other hopefuls would be on this forum. Yeah, I called right when the ad posted even though there were no pics. I would have picked it up the same day but it kept raining. I am pretty…

  36. Want To Do 04-06 R1 Usd Forks. Which Parts? 17 Jul 2013 02:19 The easiest thing to do is to source a set of CBR929 or 954 triples. However, that will require custom +2mm rotor and wheel spacers. So use the r1 forks I mentioned and swap out the r1 triple for a 954 or 929 triple?…
  37. Want To Do 04-06 R1 Usd Forks. Which Parts? 16 Jul 2013 21:05 As some of you know I am doing a build project. The USD fork is something I really want, along with radial brakes. I gave read of some using the 04-06 R1 forks. What I am not clear on is are they also using the complete…
  38. Build or buy? 28 Jun 2013 00:19 Well my frame and title came today. It is as clean as listed so I am happy. I guess I need to start a build thread soon. In the meantime, I will give thought to what is most important to me. 1st is the suspension. On…
  39. Build or buy? 21 Jun 2013 03:06 You guys want pics of my frame? Here you go. :goofy: http://www.ebay.com/...984.m1423.l2649
  40. Build or buy? 21 Jun 2013 02:11 No forks yet. I still need to get a set and have found a full set with the complete triple and bearings for 399 shipped. That is too much for that type of fork and if that turns out that is what I need to pay for the…
  41. Build or buy? 21 Jun 2013 01:24 I sort of have it together. I still need the body kit, headlight, chain and sprockets, possible rear shock upgrade, mirrors, and few other small things. This is a price driven build and I need to get the balance of…
  42. 2000 Honda VFR Repsol Build 18 Oct 2012 18:53 Ask the members that have used the China fairing how they installed them so it will go nice smooth. On my TL forum we have several members that have done CHina plastics and all have had good results. Installing and…
  43. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 2 Oct 2012 20:57 I have a 2000 Sprint RS that sleeps with my 05 VFR. I have put about 20K miles on the RS over the past year or so. I haven't done any really long trips, just from outside of LA to San Diego and stuff like that. Maybe it…
  44. Ebat aftermarket master cyclinders for clutch and front brake 27 Sep 2012 01:26 I don't think the front MC comes with a brake light switch You mean in general or on this ebay listing?
  45. Ebat aftermarket master cyclinders for clutch and front brake 26 Sep 2012 18:05 http://www.ebay.com/...=item337b800d9e 99.99 shipped and I can get a new front and rear levers as well as clutch and front master cyclinder. I am thinking that it would be fine since the Gen 5 mastercyclinders are a…
  46. What Suspension for the non-racer? 23 Sep 2012 16:41 You can just have Jamie improve the stock suspension. I think you can get both ends done for about 600.00 plus shipping. That should include seals, new springs front and rear, oil. And it will be set up to your weight…
  47. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 20 Sep 2012 02:49 Of get the 1200. It has a wet weight of 594lbs compared to the 6th gen 550 or so. You can put a full after market exhaust on it and drop some weight and still have about 140 horses to the rear wheel. And the exhaust…
