  1. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 24 Feb 2017 10:49 Yeah sorry mate my bad! Life has been a rollercoaster lately, what can I say! Started her yesterday, still sounds lovely :)
  2. Swingarm Weight Comparison 24 Feb 2017 10:42 1 hour ago, keef I'll let Ben know. he just made a plenum for a h2 that's going to have a go at a land speed record. Saw that, gee that's a nice looking piece of kit! Too bad it'll be hidden under the tank!
  3. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 20 Sep 2016 00:55 Correct oil cooler sourced, actually makes the lines run a lot better than other one, strange huh? [image: Picture 031.jpg] Plenty of room in the front now, I need to find an alternative spot to mount the ECU,…
  4. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 20 Sep 2016 00:10 Oh no, I only had one glass of beer. It's only one if you refill it before it's empty, right? :beer:
  5. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 16 Sep 2016 23:45 Alright cool, thanks for the info! They seem to use the same speed sensor & I assume the RPM pick up would be similar too, so shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
  6. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 15 Sep 2016 07:10 2 hours ago, The Phantom CBR600F4i or CBR900RR [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/oSr3n076n7A?feature=oembed] Is that plug & play mate?
  7. Best way to learn how to work on bikes 15 Sep 2016 03:45 Yep, there's easy stuff you can do on your own bike, routine maintenance, etc. Another good way is to buy a cheap project bike, ideally one that runs, but needs work, that way you're not trying to do stuff to your ride…
  8. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 15 Sep 2016 03:19 Just went back through the thread & fixed up all the photos, there's been a lot of changes in my life over the past couple of years! The HRC quick turn throttle worked, but a couple of caveats! The holes for the cable…
  9. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 4 May 2016 23:27 (Hmmm... appear to be missing some pics! Do I need to re-upload or will they be restored at some point?) A few things have started turning up, lanyard kill switch & steering damper: the steering damper is from the 04-08…
  10. Crossing Australia - Twice! 10 Apr 2016 04:53 Great stuff mate, looking forward to the rest.
  11. The Phantom Meets Frankenstein 10 Apr 2016 04:47 Looking real good!
  12. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 30 Mar 2016 02:09 Tasmania was great, one half was on fire, the other half was flooded! Didn't affect us much apart from being turned away form Lake Pedder, which is a great road apparently, but I'll have to check that for myself next…
  13. Fuel Tank Gaskets 22 Mar 2016 06:01 It needs to be tightened to the correct torque to seal properly, check the torque values in the service manual & apply to the nuts.
  14. My Custom 4Th Gen Featured By Worldwide Bomber! 12 Feb 2016 02:03 Looks great, good write up too.
  15. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 22 Jan 2016 05:40 KrazyT3, 1/1/2016 at 1:47 AM So this thread is kinda old (6 months) whats the update. I love the look. Very impressed. Hows the new front fork set up treating you. I want to swap my front forks out. I am also working on…
  16. 8Th Gen Exhaust Can On A 5Th Gen? 5 Oct 2015 05:13 The headers will line up, not sure about clamp locations, etc.
  17. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 21 Jul 2015 04:09 Tamworth VFROZ This is the strangest thread I've ever followed. In my mind, it can't be the plug, Pair valve or head/gasket. It has to be coming through the throttle bodies, or more likely the rubber insulator bands…
  18. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 30 Jun 2015 03:07 Must be still raining!
  19. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 26 Jun 2015 02:49 Haha, quality thread! Never seen a problem like this before, but logically, it could only be coming in via the inlet or valves... Unless it is coming from inside the engine itself. Hope you solve it, curious to see what…
  20. 6Th Gen Gsxr Signal Mirror Mounts Info Needed Please 19 May 2015 05:15 Generally, I prefer to look where I'm going, not where I've been & the mirrors are not very aerodynamic. Also, it's a trackbike.
  21. 6Th Gen Gsxr Signal Mirror Mounts Info Needed Please 19 May 2015 02:23 Can't help with the measurements, but you seem perfectly placed to be able to supply me with some mirror block off plates if you get the measurements :goofy: I'd take a set if you got some made, AFAIK no-one makes the…
  22. Slip On From A '00 On A '99? 15 Apr 2015 05:13 Also the 6th Gen headers are the same outlet, so you could fit a 5th/8th gen muffler to the 6th Gen. But the undertails will look pretty empty :)
  23. Black Ops: Cam's 8Th Gen Mods 31 Mar 2015 02:32 NZCam MVinOZ Looks good! On the LED indicators, get a proper LED flasher relay, they cost around $20 & you can ditch the resistors. That was my original plan, but the 8th Gen VFR has a unique 4-pin flasher relay that is…
  24. Black Ops: Cam's 8Th Gen Mods 31 Mar 2015 00:15 Looks good! On the LED indicators, get a proper LED flasher relay, they cost around $20 & you can ditch the resistors.
  25. Rapid Bike Ecu For Eighth Gen 17 Mar 2015 11:00 Ah, there you go it is listed! :happy: Have a look through the thread for the 6th Gen RB group buy, heaps of good info in there. The main advantage of the RB over say a Power Commander is the ability to alter timing,…
  26. Rapid Bike Ecu For Eighth Gen 17 Mar 2015 02:22 Probably not, there's only a few on the 6th Gens so far & I don't think Rapid Bike list the 8th Gen yet...
  27. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 16 Mar 2015 03:56 Great thread, excellent work! Looking forward to seeing this one finished.
  28. Any Interest In A Rear Hub Slider? 19 Feb 2015 23:07 I tried making my own, yours are much better! I'm interested.
  29. Sprocket changes to make the bike torquier 19 Feb 2015 03:27 You could lower the gearing a little, so your revs would be higher for a given speed in a given gear, throttle response will usually be better too. However, the SSSA will limit the amount of teeth you can add to the…
  30. 97 Vfr 750 To "vfcbr" Conversion (929Rr Forks / 600Rr Body) 18 Feb 2015 23:49 Yep, great work.
  31. Muscle Bikes 10 Feb 2015 01:44 [image: Yamahamt01.jpg] Yamaha MT-01, not sure if it made it to the states, but was a good thing by all accounts.
  32. Tyga racing vfr800 rear sets anyone interested 21 Nov 2014 22:16 Non adjustable would be a step backwards for me, so yeah, deal breaker.
  33. Potential Re-Release Of Two Brothers Racing Vfr800 Headers 6 Nov 2014 01:15 6th Gen rear sets are in fact asymmetrical. Tyga won't be making any for the 5th Gen once they see one. OK, well my plates fit, so I must have accounted for it, then forgot about it! :comp13:
  34. Tyga racing vfr800 rear sets anyone interested 6 Nov 2014 01:13 Interested at $250 assuming spares are readily available. Any more than that & I'll stick with what I've got.
  35. Are There Any Honda Rearsets That Will Fit A 6Th Gen Lower? 25 Sep 2014 03:16 Rush2112 Voided76 You mean... These? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-Billet-Rearsets-Black-Honda-CBR-600-F4-F4i-1999-2008-99-08-FR31-/261171799012?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccf0d63e4 :D…
  36. Streetfighter Fairing Weekend Project 16 Sep 2014 03:54 In case anyone's interested, I used Valvoline Plio Grip for the plastic modifications. Good info, I need to do something similar on the VFR fairing to block out the headlights, good stuff! Fairing looks good too, very…
  37. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 23 Mar 2014 02:29 It's been a while & progress has been slow - work is flat out plus I'm going on holidays next Thursday, so that's been taking up all my time. I think I'm officially behind schedule now, I wanted to have the engine…
  38. How To Wheelie Vfr 800 12 Mar 2014 01:16 timmythecop It didnt end well. I am no longer allowed to ride my mother's scooter. If that was the end result, then I would say it did end well. :laugh: You know what they say about riding scooters :goofy:
  39. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 20 Feb 2014 01:57 Dannytb Looking at the carbon heat shield... Shouldn't it be between the rear master cylinder and the exhaust? Or is it just to protect the master cylinder from your boot? PS: a quick thread-jack... I added this to my…
  40. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 13 Feb 2014 09:42 Ok, swapped the mounting plates over & came up with this: [image: iPhone photos 186.jpg] Which looks to keep the peg/lever geometry pretty good. I could work with that, but I think I'll get some plates made up to move…
  41. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 12 Feb 2014 04:04 The Phantom Looks to me like you need to flip the mounting plates - swap left to right and right to left. That way the bunch of holes that the rearsets bolt to will be that much higher. I'd also bolt the mounting plate…
  42. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 12 Feb 2014 02:19 SEBSPEED This help at all? [image: AA94C7D9-2475-40BD-A2C1-E8D8A2EC4838-209] [image: 6E52DF95-2E26-4FCD-9F4D-0C9C125E3B6F-209] Sorry, forgot to measure. Too cold out there I am in my pjs already! Yes, that's very…
  43. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 12 Feb 2014 01:06 SEBSPEED If you leave the pegs as they are now, you'll have to run the midpipe pretty low to clear it. I just remembered I have F4i and 4th gen rearsets... I suppose I can run out in the cold and get you a pic. Don't go…
  44. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 11 Feb 2014 20:31 keef I'll send you my 5th gen oil cooler for postage if you want it. It's in better condition than that 750 one. Thanks Keef, that's a very generous offer! I'll see how I go with this one, the plan was to replace it…
  45. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 11 Feb 2014 10:51 Just one, from a... 'flattering' angle & from the otherside, which is not so bad. It'll do for now, I'll replace it with a proper 6th gen one at some point.
  46. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 11 Feb 2014 10:09 My rearsets arrived from Danmoto, pretty happy with them overall, 3 days to get here from Honkers Fit is good, finish leaves a little to be desired, powder coat is missing in a couple of spots. I'll send them an email &…
  47. Are There Any Honda Rearsets That Will Fit A 6Th Gen Lower? 10 Feb 2014 22:51 rhema83 Switchblade Of all the stuff the Chinese copy but not rear set's ? I am checking on Chinese knock-offs of the Sato right now. I am trying to make my 6th Gen a better track bike. The stock footrests touch down…
  48. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 4 Feb 2014 20:31 SEBSPEED I have a digital angle finder, made by Wixey. Can be zeroed on a surface then moved to the area to be measured so you don't have to worry about getting a level surface. That sounds like a nice bit of kit! I'm…
  49. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 4 Feb 2014 11:30 I went to fit my front calipers & found the caliper bolts were missing... A quick phone call & $40 later, a set of 4 on the way. Wait, what $40??? Partzilla price is $2.45ea, US RRP is $3.95. :blink: I could have had a…
  50. Trackbike Build - From Scratch 4 Feb 2014 10:47 If you've rebuilt brake calipers before, this probably won't be anything new, if not, hey, it's actually really easy! So this is a cheap brake rebuild, total cost is around $30 US, assuming you have consumables like wet…
