  3. My 4Th Gen Project 28 Jun 2015 03:58 Scottay951 vfrAustin Is it more difficult to do The COP on a 4th gen. then a 5th? I found it to be one of the easiest and affordable mods needed to clean up the bike as a naked. I'm not sure, I'm not too savvy on…

  6. New To Me 97 Vfr750 27 Jun 2015 02:35 Thanks for the encouragement guys. Honestly that was the best side and was held together mostly by red duck tape. The usable stuff will be posted for sale to fund the project. It is currently stripped of all plastic,…
  7. 5th Gen VTR1000 fork swap 25 Jun 2015 05:59 VfrViddy Anyone who can compare the vtr spring with the vfr spring? A litle confusing as to how much the spacer needs to be cut. I would like my vfr as close to original as possible. But had my first track day last…

  10. New To Me 97 Vfr750 22 Jun 2015 21:30 It takes a lot to bend a frame. I am not sure what you mean by posting it in the classifieds if the frame is bent. Would you list it as a bent frame? Bike looks like a perfect naked candidate. You don't want it to look…
  11. Trip To New Mexico - Time Lapse Video 22 Jun 2015 01:49 Thanks for posting!
  12. New To Me 97 Vfr750 20 Jun 2015 12:04 Good stuff! Plan it out and it will all be easy. You will have a fun ride when done. Honda doesn't make one so we have to. Keep us posted :beer:
  13. R/r Flip Plate Mount For The Fh020Aa Shindengen R/r 20 Jun 2015 02:51 mello dude vfrAustin You have to have the COP to do this. Ok -I'm dense. COP? That is the coil pack location on the right side. "Coil Over Plug" conversion would need to be done to free this location. Or, some creative…

  16. My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process 13 Jun 2015 01:00 It is great to see all these SF builds. I have to say though, if you all are not envious enough, they are Amazing to ride. The engine, the weight, the position, the engine, did I repeat myself, sorry. Absolute blast to…

  20. Go-Kart Races 24 May 2015 09:14 Absolutely! No Breathalizer testing though.
  21. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 24 May 2015 02:51 apexandy This bike is incredible Seb :) The overall appearance is very aggressive yet integrated. But the most impressive thing to me is that as you get closer to the bike you notice more and more custom details. Custom…
  22. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 22 May 2015 23:53 The cat has left the bag! Well done Seb. Now my spy photos are worthless.
  23. My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) 20 May 2015 22:23 I know the whole "Whats in a name thing, but" I wouldn't call this, or the other upper caliber VFR builds, a "Streetfighter". This trend is toward a "Naked custom" VFR. I love what I am seeing lately!!! Nice work and I…
  24. My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) 17 May 2015 00:24 I have one issue with the build. Not enough pictures! Can you do a batch of close ups? Where did you get the radiator shrouds? I need to see the details. Love Belgium, spent a little time there.
  25. My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) 16 May 2015 11:19 Very well done! Good color choice too. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
  26. Possibly Goodbye Vfrs And Thanks! 14 May 2015 00:13 Things change and you may have a hard time 5 years from now finding one to replace it. Store it properly under a cover and see what the next year or two brings. You know what anyone is going to pay you is a mere…

  29. A Short Trip Up The Hudson. 25 Apr 2015 04:01 Good stuff Joe. Not only is it tough to pass up DD donuts, you have to hold your ground and insist that you want only one donut. Value and brainwashing makes them think you are an idiot for only taking one when they…
  30. Don't Cry For Me Argentina Spoiler 19 Apr 2015 22:58 That was freakin great! I haven't jumped like that since, well, I cant remember. A couple rules come to mind. Protect your front wheel. MM needed to give way. You cant force the other rider to give way from the back…
  31. Road Trips! 3 Apr 2015 18:17 Been in a car with family but started in Phoenix ending in Denver. Brief outline is Sedona, grand canyon, Abq.,Sante fe, Taos, Denver. Best roads I saw were Sedona.

  37. Paint Or Plastidip? 29 Dec 2014 03:25 I am sure you all know but, Rust-oleum is making a FlexiDip product that is meant to be like Plasti-dip. My alloy truck rims looked like crap so had nothing to loose. The FlexiDip applies much more evenly then the…
  38. Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? 26 Dec 2014 16:50 Hell you can pick up a 6th gen for the same or less money especially if you bought a dropped one! :fing02: Sorry, but tracking a CBR or a R6 is very different from a VFR. All fun but different. Sorry about what? What is…

  41. Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? 26 Dec 2014 03:13 So many ways to go with this question. My take is that you track anything that you can fully except crashing and stay within the expendable income range. That can mean such different things to different people. If your…
  42. Track Only Tires. What U Using? 17 Dec 2014 03:29 Current slicks are Dunlap NTec's. Ran them last year too at Barber, Mid Ohio, Homestead and PBIR. Great grip with a wide temperature range with the medium compound. Even in very cold temps at Barber last year in…
  43. Ride Like Your Invisible 18 Oct 2014 03:13 Tamworth Jeez, this "cagers vs motorcycles" thing makes no sense. How many people here are also car drivers.? Motorcycle riders are just as capable of driving like fools, or just making mistakes. I see motorcyclists…
  44. Ride Like Your Invisible 18 Oct 2014 02:16 Too funny! Goes to prove the mentality of people in cars that you hope will use good judgement while sharing the road with you. He needed a few seconds to realize that it just happened. LOL
  45. Veefer Madness 18 Oct 2014 02:00 Sucks to see you selling your bike Pal. That things got your fingerprints all over it. Must have been a difficult decision and it can be hard to get someone to understand the effort and buck up. Good luck and be sure to…
  46. Wettest Ride Of My Life 3 Oct 2014 23:45 Well, thanks for the reminder. Ridding in a downpour sucks! Riding wet roads just makes you a better rider, purely a Darwinian response. You survive, you get to mate...

  49. Oil Cooler Upgrade. Effectiveness Q's 28 Sep 2014 23:49 "Dudes" , it will hold. I did advanced hydrodynamic calculations. Plus, the cap blows at something like 16 so that is all it will need to hold. Stop worrying, it,s just metal..
  50. Oil Cooler Upgrade. Effectiveness Q's 28 Sep 2014 20:23 Yes I did and rode for hours minutes after I installed actually. There is a nice ample footprint for a gasket to form. Got a good ride in. Time will tell. No reason for me to feel it will fail. If it does I just use a…
