  1. Anyone have fairings, Chinese okay. 9 Sep 2018 13:56 fightinvfr, 8/17/2018 at 5:01 PM find em yet? [image: IMG_20180720_002526_268.jpg] Hi, no I haven't. Stopped looking because I got in a pretty bad accident. 6 broken ribs and a ton of blood and fluid around my lung.…

  6. Nameless July ride 18 Jul 2018 00:05 Just moved to the Nashville area. I'll definitely reply to this again when I can get out there! The Dragon is a fun road.
  7. Anyone have fairings, Chinese okay. 18 Jul 2018 00:02 So about 6 weeks ago, I hit sand in a turn and lowsided my 3 week old fairings. Gear protected me, except the hit on the ground fractured a rib. My Chinese fairings shattered. I need new ones, or good looking used ones.…
  8. My 399 lb VFR848 9 Apr 2018 15:44 I'd like to do this with a CBR tail section. So sexy!
  9. My 399 lb VFR848 9 Apr 2018 04:30 Wow!!!
  10. Valve Service - 5th Gen 4 Apr 2018 20:33 I've found this, but I don't know anything about them. https://www.bonanza.com/listings/141-Shims-7-48mm-Valve-Shim-Kit-1998-2008-Honda-Interceptor-800-VFR800-VFR800F/524046814
  11. Valve Service - 5th Gen 4 Apr 2018 20:07 Does anyone have a lead on where to get the shims? I'd like to have an assortment in advance if possible, so I don't have a long downtime. I've read other brands sometimes work with other brands. Any idea if that is the…
  12. Valve Service - 5th Gen 4 Apr 2018 19:57 I wanted to revive this thread to say thank you, nearly sixteen years later, as I need to check my valves. My 99 has nearly 82,000 and it's never been checked by the previous owners. I guess I need to do this. Thanks…
  13. Post Crash Vibration 2 Apr 2018 19:45 That's good to know, thank you. I'll get a white paint pen and mark the cams. I've replaced a timing chain set, including pulling the head to get machined, on a Saturn SC2 dohc car and I've done head gaskets on a Chevy…
  14. Post Crash Vibration 1 Apr 2018 14:55 Update: I had to drill the screw out. It simply want budging. I also used an Easy Out. I did find that the swingarm nut was loose. I got that tightened to spec. It has helped the vibration a lot. I still have some,…

  16. Much to be Gained from Power Commander? 25 Mar 2018 15:46 Looks like a face. [image: 20180325_084532.jpg]
  17. RC49 23 Mar 2018 16:55 8 hours ago, JZH They also have a different top fairing to clear the weird pull-up handlebars... I used to do a fair bit of Yahoo auction buying (until I got burned by Akibado abruptly shutting down with a bunch of…
  18. Much to be Gained from Power Commander? 22 Mar 2018 05:03 MBrane, 3/17/2018 at 8:35 AM Another advantage if you ride in hot weather is a richer mixture will make the bike run cooler. Our V4s need all the help they can get in that dept. and I'm willing to take the hit on fuel…
  19. Removing Heat Shield Near Right Footpeg - Need Help 21 Mar 2018 17:05 Lorne, 3/17/2018 at 9:35 AM It looks like there are three fasteners attaching the heat shield, as per p.15-1 of the service manual (see below). I'm guessing that the top/middle one is giving you fits as it is the only…
  20. I guess it doesn't like the cold... 21 Mar 2018 04:13 I've ordered 2 batteries from Chrome Battery and they have always worked, regardless of hot or cold. https://www.chromebattery.com/motorcycles/1999-honda-cbr1100xx+super+blackbird-ytx12+bs-battery.html $35 with an 18…
  21. Much to be Gained from Power Commander? 21 Mar 2018 03:18 From my post over at the other VFR Forum. I know you aren't looking for top end, but this is my experience with adding a map on my PCII: Quote FWIW, I downloaded a map for my PCII from VFRD, it says it's for 93 Octane,…
  22. Loads and loads 11 Mar 2018 15:18 MaxSwell, 3/9/2018 at 3:15 PM I have an answer about LED headlights. I've had Cree LED headlights (from HighPerformanceBulbs) on my fifth for a couple of years. I think they work fabulously. There is a picture in my…
  23. Post Crash Vibration 28 Feb 2018 05:23 3 hours ago, Sweeper And on the velocity stack screw, have someone tap the screwdriver with a hammer while you twist. Worked on mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 hours ago, Sweeper Check out Autodip.com. I just…
  24. Post Crash Vibration 27 Feb 2018 23:03 Hey all. First, let me say that my bike is running very well. Since the crash, I was able to upload a new map to the Power Commander 2 I have and what a difference it has made. I think before it was running very lean,…
  25. 2000 VFR800 Daugherty Motorsports CBR929 Shock Upgrade 11 Feb 2018 06:57 Thanks for the write up! Jamie is building his own shock now for the 5th gen. I don't a long time in the phone with him. He's been planning it fire about 4-5 years now, but what he's been doing had been so popular. He…

  27. Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal 15 Dec 2017 17:53 I'm also thinking a de-link would be a great solution...
  28. Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal 15 Dec 2017 17:52 I'm reviving this thread to see what the resolution to this was. Anyone know? The beauty of the great interweb, problems get posted, solutions don't always make it into print.
  29. Vfr8 Streetfighter 14 Dec 2017 06:27 keef, 10/20/2013 at 5:09 PM Hi Guys, first post after lurking on here for a while, and some admin help to get my account up and running. I've been riding for about 18 years, and love streetfighters.My last one was an 88…
  30. Pc2 parameters ??? 8 Dec 2017 20:44 The people who make the power Commander will let you trade it in on something newer and give you credit for the old one. That will give you more options.
  31. 5th Gen Engine Modifications 29 Nov 2017 00:13 1 hour ago, Mohawk Blimey, and I thought it must be vapor ware :) Get it in a bike & get it running. Check out my mods since this first started, up to 120whp with induction & exhaust mods. I went with an electric water…
  32. 5th Gen Engine Modifications 27 Nov 2017 18:46 Hey, Chico's not too far from me. I'll have to Google the shop and bookmark it. I'm curious about the dyno and definitely interested in the water pump mod as well.
  33. Most miles on a 5th Gen? 26 Nov 2017 06:17 I have 80,550 miles on mine. I'm putting it back together after a crash. But it still starts and runs great.
  34. Broken instrument cluster 20 Nov 2017 06:18 Sweeper, 11/17/2017 at 4:58 PM Maxwell might have a part. He's been through a few 5th gens over the last few years. I sent a PM
  35. Broken instrument cluster 17 Nov 2017 19:18 2 minutes ago, Burns if it's anything like the ones on the 4th gens, good luck. I tried melting them together, plastifix, and epoxy and none worked well enough to be considered a sucessful fix.. I know.. I'm not…
  36. Broken instrument cluster 17 Nov 2017 01:32 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 absurdly expensive used and…
  37. Just me on the Viffer. 12 Oct 2017 21:24 I don't blame you Captain. Speaking of recovery, RVFR, how's your recovery coming along?

  39. 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades 2 Oct 2017 05:04 11 hours ago, fonque The jb weld is just to get the bike back on the road so I can stop taking the metro train to work. I am on the hunt for a solution still. Haven't you contacted the manufacturer/seller yet? Don't…

  41. Big Airbox Mod 15 May 2017 14:21 Since this thread lost all of it's pictures in The Purge, anyone have any visuals on what was actually done?
  42. Let's talk tyres! 3 Dec 2016 15:41 6 hours ago, keef The tyres won't generate enough heat with such high pressures on the street. You will get great mileage, but less grip. For track days I drop to 30/30. I also called Bridgestone about this very thing…

  44. Unleashing 5th Gen Factory Power + DMr + Thurn MS 3 Dec 2016 01:21 May I inquire as to what you're trying to show with the videos? Other than your current mount allows a lot of vibration?
  45. Let's talk tyres! 3 Dec 2016 01:18 1 hour ago, keef Tyre pressure is too high, drop It to maybe 32F/34R and see how it feels.I'm not that much smaller than you at about 220lbs. I have spoken at length with Michelin regarding pressures. They are adamant…
  46. Lunch ride 4 Oct 2016 01:47 Nice! So it's cooled off, meaning it's only 100° instead of 150°? 😁

  48. Flushing Coolant System 23 Jun 2016 06:02 OK, your first step was to drain the old coolant and then reinstall the drain screws and radiator cap. Second step was that you filled it with anticalc water. Did you, at this point, run it enough to open the…
