  1. Upper back pain 21 Mar 2020 18:20 Being someone who suffers from chronic low back pain, I feel it interesting to offer up this tidbit of info. Over the years I’ve done a few different things to help alleviate low back pain while riding, and a lot of the…
  2. cut rear mudflap 5 May 2019 16:48 I did roughly the same thing as Mello and trimmed the fender using a dremel tool. I decided where I wanted to trim and to ensure I made the same trim on both sides I took a string and scribed a line on the fender using…
  3. 2000 VFR800 Daugherty Motorsports CBR929 Shock Upgrade 18 Jan 2018 03:37 seth89, 1/3/2018 at 2:37 PM Great "how to". I followed everything except the disassembly of the fender tray since my new shock has pretty much the same dimensions as the original. Glad the thread was helpful. What kind…
  4. 2000 VFR800 Daugherty Motorsports CBR929 Shock Upgrade 18 Jan 2018 03:35 Epyon007, 1/7/2018 at 1:34 PM I have the shock in mine and wow what a pain it was to install compared to every other bike I have worked on. It was a fantastic upgrade and made it a whole new bike!! I have the DMr fork…
  5. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 18 Jan 2018 03:12 I had a very similar problem with my 5th gen just before I put the bike away for the season this year. Previously, I had installed heli-bars and not re-routed the throttle cables as per the instructions provided by…
  6. 2000 VFR800 Daugherty Motorsports CBR929 Shock Upgrade 16 Dec 2017 21:00 Quite a number of years ago, I wrote up an install thread for a shock I purchased from Jamie at Daugherty Motorsports. Unfortunately, when the site went down and was subsequently rebuilt, this thread had disappeared. I…
  7. Broken instrument cluster 2 Dec 2017 17:36 Lint, 2017-11-16 at 5:32 PM So, at the end of September, I crashed my bike. It hit a wall and took quite a wallop! The white paper connector tabs are broken. My question is, has anyone tried gluing these? The cluster is…
  8. This one or that one ? 21 Oct 2017 17:13 I'm kind of with Greg on this one. I like both photos but when spending a bit of time really looking at both photos I found something interesting. If I spend time staring at both photos, I noted that in the top photo my…
  9. it's time to show 7 Apr 2017 02:46 This is my favorite photo of the old girl, even though she doesn't look near her age. LOL [image: IMG_9515.JPG]
  10. Lost rear sprocket whle riding. 22 Mar 2017 03:02 YEAH!!! Glad to hear it's all back together and running. May you have many, MANY more miles of enjoyment. 😃
  11. Restoring engine casing 15 Mar 2017 01:01 Hey Helli Check out this thread from over on VFRWorld. GregInDenver did a complete disassemble and clean on his bike over the winter, and used a lot of citrus based products to clean the bike and it turned out very…
  12. What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 24 Dec 2016 20:37 I wasn't a huge fan of riding with just the top case on my bike as it lowoked like something was missing. Found a guy locally who was selling his Givi Wingrack, 2 bag setup (side cases only) for his bike since it was…
  13. Any VFRD members in Salmon Arm area? 4 Dec 2016 22:53 I'm not too far away in Kelowna, and Apexandy is in the area too.
  14. Metal Polish Q 10 Nov 2016 03:14 Just as a quick note. Though I can not say for certain, all the powder coat places in town that I talked to about my parts offer the media blast to prep the parts as part of the service. All I had to do in my situation…
  15. Metal Polish Q 10 Nov 2016 01:59 5 hours ago, dozyproductions Exactly! Something like Autosol or Brasso. Was wondering if our stock triple tree's and bars could be polished to a "like new" condition look instead of respraying them. [image:…
  16. Apex Andy in Motorcyclist Nic 2016 Issue 8 Oct 2016 06:24 Once again, immortalized in print for more of the masses to enjoy. I've said it before and can't not say it agin Andy, "WOW, such a bike!"
  17. Help with Tacho 4 Oct 2016 05:14 Check out this post from over on VFRWorld. I remembered reading about this a while back when I was helping a friend who rebuilt a 98. His issue turned out to be a crack in the flexible PCB board caused by a broken…
  18. Check exhaust temp 15 Sep 2016 21:17 If you are looking to get the temps of the header pipes as they come out of engine you should be able to shoot an infrared reading from the back on the chain side. I've been able to shoot directly at the headers from…
  19. Looking for luggage rack for 4th gen vfr 21 Jun 2016 05:01 If you're looking for a rack that you can mount three hard cases to, check this out. http://vfrworld.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=6572&title=wingrack-4th-gen&cat=4
  20. 95 Vfr With Exhaust Leak? Audio Clip Included. 17 Jun 2016 02:13 Hmmmmm, well, I'd be happy to bring the exhaust with me and the ride to Kaslo from Kelowna is fantastic.. You might just have a deal. Hope you get the exhaust leak figured out though. If the header pipes were cracked or…
  21. 95 Vfr With Exhaust Leak? Audio Clip Included. 16 Jun 2016 06:37 2016 at 6:33 AM, auggius, May 15 Update: It still sounds the same 2 years later. Now I am wondering if it is the muffler itself that is rusted out internally. So by any chance is there a 4th gen owner with a spare…
  22. Goodbye Vicky ! ( 8Th Gen ) Helloooo Natasha ! Zzr14 2015 30 Mar 2016 02:30 Might be considered heresy but I've always wanted to paint my Viffer that color. Congrats on the new machine. Personally I'm not sure I'd want a bigger bike than my Viffer but the Kawi sure is easy on the eyes.
  23. Touring Canada 23 Mar 2016 02:17 And you can't forget the sunny Okanagan Valley. If you head from Calgary to Banff then to Jasper via the Icefileds Parkway, you could turn around and head back to Banff stay the night, then head to BC the next day. From…
  24. Broken V Cowl 28 Feb 2016 16:31 Hey RD On my last bike, a 97 VFR, I had painted the same cowl piece in behind the front wheel and then had a local 3M dealer wrap it with clear vinyl to prevent rock chips. The clear vinyl held up for 4 years after…
  25. New To Vfrd 24 Feb 2016 19:06 Hey Stretch Excellent looking work with the restoration and a very cool looking example of the VF1K. Myself being a former VF1000F owner, I still have a very large soft spot in my heart for the bike. You are certainly…
  26. Prb's 5Th Gen Restore And Rebuild Project! 19 Feb 2016 02:10 Looks like a perfect candidate for a SebSpeed clutch window! Perhaps a polished pressure plate glistening away beneath the window. LOL. Definitely needs the Sebspeed Clutch cover treatment. Looks like a fun project and…
  27. Replacement Fairings For 94-97 Vfr750? 1 Feb 2016 19:49 I've found a VFR750 that is in need of a new left fairing. How to I go about finding a replacement? Where? Even worth the effort? What are the hopes of a new gas tank? Seriously, don't laugh. Nozz [image:…
  28. My 4Th Gen Project From Parts 13 Dec 2015 22:09 First off, Welcome to the Forum. Looks like a fun and interesting project. You will certainly learn a great deal about your bike in it's, well,........ consturction. Personally, I think the thing you may have the…
  29. Leaf Watching On The Dragon 7 Nov 2015 04:10 Very cool video Switchblade. Some day, some day, I must make my way to your door and see if you would be so willing as to give me a personal tour. We certainly have our fair share of twisty roads here in the Okanagan…
  30. My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience 18 Oct 2015 02:30 RedRicer RobF I've never understood how this mod works -- probably because I don't really understand the details of the engine layout or how the clutch works. Normally, all these gears are swimming in motor oil, right?…
  31. My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience 17 Oct 2015 16:22 VifferCrab Gorgeous. Love the polished pressure plate. I always have trouble with Porsche chassis codes... 997 GT3? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I've never really understood them either but it sure was cool to…
  32. My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience 17 Oct 2015 03:24 Seb is indeed a fantastic guy to deal with and he was very helpful with my cover removal and install as well. ALL HAIL SEB!! [image: post-25028-0-53617100-1445052079.jpeg] Looked so cool, even the Porsche was jealous.…
  33. Looking For Left Front Turn Signal Lens/unit. 7 Sep 2015 04:55 Not sure if the turn signal is available or not, but there is a guy parting out a 4th gen in the classified section of the site. Maybe shoot the owner a PM. http://www.vfrdiscus...th-gen-vfr-750/
  34. Will This 'buff Out'? 7 Sep 2015 03:49 I'd give something like Meguiar's® Clear Coat Safe Polishing Compound a try for the strap marks if that doesn't work put a sticker over it and drink a beer. Apply one of those vinyl protective patches over the affected…
  35. Junkyard Must Go 1 Jul 2015 06:31 Very sorry to hear about what happened Timmy, and having been hit in the head with a brick I can feel your pain. Early in my motorcycle life (I was about 26 at the time) I was living in Calgary and just as I was passing…
  36. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 17 Jun 2015 00:27 Any more news on the project Rush, haven't seen any updates in awhile.
  37. My Voltmeter Prototype On My '97 15 Jun 2015 14:37 Excellent work Lanny. Looks as though it was meant to be there. As mentioned, please share some more details like where you bought the volt meter and how you mounted it.
  38. Dutch 4Th Gen Rider Helps Balloons Go Airborn! 6 Jun 2015 19:55 Great pic Dutch. Out of curiosity, do you have any photos of your bike starting up a windmill? LOL. Always love your photos. The roads, the countryside, everything, is just so amazing. BC has some great roads and…
  39. Frankenstein Bolts 29 May 2015 01:00 According to the Partzilla.com site the Honda Part # is 90116-MBG-000. Here is a link to the site. http://www.partzilla...COWL/parts.html The Frankenbolt you are looking for is Part 13 on the diagram.
  40. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 28 May 2015 23:27 FWIW, I picked up a pair of headlight modules (the original style of this post), and one of the modules was stuck on high beam. Contacted the seller, and I'm getting a full refund and keeping the parts, so no loss. May…
  41. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 22 May 2015 23:35 VERY NICELY DONE. As one would expect after seeing photos of a couple of your other projects Seb, you have done it again. And, where on earth did you get that clear window clutch cover from. Nice touch there, and the…
  42. Slip Ons 17 May 2015 23:19 I've got an 18" Delkevic slip-on installed on my 2000 VFR800 and it sounds fantastic. I usually run the pipe with the decibel reducer installed as IMHO it sounds better that way. Gives the bike a nice deep growl,…
  43. My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) 15 May 2015 22:18 VERY Nicely done. Love the color and under tray details with the silver supports and the black panels. Adds some great visual effect.
  44. How Would You Perform This Operation? 13 May 2015 01:33 Take a metal coat hangar and straighten it out. Run the coat hangar slowly across a strong magnet to magnetize it (always draw it slowly and the same direction each time) to the point where you can pick up a washer of…
  45. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 9 May 2015 06:42 Most often it seems that when listing the wattage on LED headlights they list the wattage in pairs. So that could mean that the LED's you have looked at consume 80W per 2 bulbs or 40 W each. The stock Honda headlights…
  46. 1999 Vfr800 Project 7 May 2015 15:26 Very Much So Rovari. Excellent JOB adn well done. Now you just have to spend many an hour enjoying the fruits of your labor...............hmmmmmmmm.................ENJOYING a VFR,...................None of us here would…
  47. Just Renewed My M/c Ins Policy Prem Dropped $163.00 4 May 2015 20:52 Only reason I can think of is population and hence economies of scale. The population of California as of 2013 was approx 38 million people whereas the population of all of Canada (according to the census) was listed as…
  48. Just Renewed My M/c Ins Policy Prem Dropped $163.00 3 May 2015 23:36 Multiple bike disorder in BC can get very expensive yes. ICBC requires you to purchase Liability insurance from them but you can use private companies to purchase comprehensive and collision coverage. The $1300 extra…
  49. Just Renewed My M/c Ins Policy Prem Dropped $163.00 3 May 2015 17:21 We just put some mandatory ICBC insurance on my wife's 96 VFR750 yesterday. $500K in Liability only cost $460 for 6 months. Full comprehensive and collision (with $500 deductibles on each) was an extra $1300 per year.…
  50. 929 R. Shock Conversion In Progress - Question 27 Apr 2015 02:58 I think Rush is correct. According to the Daugherty Motorsports website the CBR929 shock upgrade is for the 98-2001 VFR800 and the 2002+ uses a CBR600F4 shock for the upgrade.
