Last 50 of 911- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Tried parking my Honda Hawk GT650 in my studio apartment living room back in the 90's and was sorry I did so when I woke up the next few nights with a pounding headache....because of the gasoline fumes that came out of…
- 4th Gen Fork Flex All I can say is just try a fork brace before taking the word of a few people here that swear off them...... They either had a fork that was so crapped out already that a fork brace would not have made any difference…
- 4th Gen Fork Flex The 4th gen forks definitely has some flex in it. Just look down the fork leg through the front fairing from your saddle, squeeze the front brake, turn the bars with the wheel against rigid object like a wall . look at…
- Words Cannot Describe... Could be a crashed or dropped bike and the owner cannot afford the OEM fairings?? Edited March 24, 2016 by Beck
- Ooooooh Looks OK, actually...... Except for maybe the headlight. These multi LED headlights just does not look as good an a large diameter "traditional" round headlight with a single bulb in the middle of single big parabolic…
- Words Cannot Describe... Fairing looks like it has some Suzuki Katana 750 DNA.....and I'm not talking about the original still kewhl looking ones from the 80's....
- (Rebuilt) 1000R Forks Slamming Into Something Hard On Full Compression Where is your horn mounted? The fork brace/fender might be hitting it at full fork compression, if it is in between the fork legs. Had similar happen to me when I lowered my front end by pulling the tubes up a bit…
- Bar End Weight Screw? I know about the 10 year after model retirement that Honda set some years ago for when they will stop supplying parts for bikes, but Dang!, It really hits one hard to hear that even a simple bar end weight screw isn't…
- Performance Mods For Rc36 I don't think the TBR left side system showed any significant gains in HP for anyone that used them on the RC36s. Anyway, they also don't look that great on the bike as they hang too low because TBR had to design them…
- Rear Wheel I think it's just mostly an aesthetic exercise as the 6th gen and earlier VFRS just do not have the power to take advantage of the 1200's wider/heavier wheel...... I suspect the bike will just end up feeling sluggish…
- Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? Lost all hope for any Harley "Renaissance" ever coming within my lifetime when they dumped the VR1000 race program.I was actually glad they put most of the engine in the V-Rod, but then knew that the future for the…
- Is this the first time a gen 8 vfr800 has raced officially in a hill climb I have heard that Honda's R&D costs going into the WSB program at that time was challenging the amounts they were investing into GP racing...... Honda being so desperate to finally beat the Ducatis..... They had to wait…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts A few heads should roll at Honda because of this problem with the drives haft on what was one of Honda ' s flagship bikes....... You'd think they would have gotten it right after producing so many shaft driven bikes for…
- New Honda Concept Bike - And It's Actually Cool! They did a little "smoke and mirror" design on the exhaust routing after the manifold. Notice how it loops into a boom box/catalytic converter behind the engine before it comes out the right side of the bike (something…
- 1985 Vf1000R Restoration...and...here...we...go! Dang!, It looks like you literally pulled that bike out of a swamp! :ohmy: Good luck on the re-build! I hope that the elements did not damage too much of the critical parts on the bike. Hope nothing jumped out at you…
- K&n Oil Filter Cogswell wera803 Rush - depending on which track you go to, you may or may not have to safety wire the filter. Just use a large worm clamp to go around the filter and safety wire the clamp. It actually works well and…
- K&n Oil Filter CandyRedRC46 Its pretty universally excepted that fram is garbage. I find this a bit strange as most,classic 12 cylinder Ferrari engines I've seen proudly shows off two Fram filters (I think some of their racing engines…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? Just a note.... I found out recently that my on-board volt meter, which is connected to the (former) tag light circuit (took the DOT tag light assembly off the bike and fabricated a lens at the bottom of the tail/bake…
- Can A Staintune Low Mount Be Converted To High Mount? Nope,....... At least not that easily/cheaply, as the "S" pipes on both versions are permanently welded to the can....
- Your Five Spoke Rear Just Went Up In Value Spokes will be bassackards on one side. :comp13: Yes,......... we will most likely only see pics of bikes with this system from the right side...... :rolleyes:
- My Deltran Battery Tendar Finally Died After 20 Some Years Of Service.... After so long reliably keeping my batteries charged for over 20 years on my bikes, my Deltran Battery Tender finally had to be put pasture...... Not because of the unit not charging the battery appropriately, but…
- 8Th Gen Exhaust Can On A 5Th Gen? Per owners, Micron supposedly had the best sounding pipes for VFRs. Very deep, rich, especially with their CF models. Thing is, I never could find out for good if they are out of business or still making pipes, as a few…
- Your Five Spoke Rear Just Went Up In Value Why not a car tire on the rear tire ? Looks expensive ! You need the rounded section of a motorcycle tire as the bike still leans to turn.....
- 6Th Gen Cad? Doubt if Honda will share their faring CAD files for your bike but the thing is, it is much easier these days "build" a 3D CAD wire frame model of the fairings using present 3D scanning devices, so if you know an…
- N + 1 The CX should clean up nicely :fing02: , only thing to watch out for is cam chain tensioner issues. My dad and oldest brother loved their CX's in the 80's and that's the only complaint they had on the bike. Otherwise…
- Replacement Of Exhaust Valve You might still want to ask a few questions before buying the bike like: How was the diagnosis of a "faulty" valve made, was a leak-down test made on the cylinder? Was the head taken off for inspection? What was found…
- 3Rd Gen Headlight, One Low Beam To Two I never could figure out why some countries require both headlights do not light up on low beam. If thus is not required for cars, why did they require it for bikes?? Plus it just looks lopsided fugly when only one…
- Steering Stem Ram Ball--Why Not? If anyone could think of a way to adapt a bicycle stem wedge style anchor for the RAM ball, that should be the strongest way to mount it to a motorcycle steering tube, because by design those will strongly resist…
- Z50R's My dad did not bother with these tiny "monkey" bikes and just went ahead and set us up with a DAX/ST70 as my brother's and my first motorcycle in the 70's. It was so much fun blowing away my cousins and friends on their…
- Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? Copper plugs conduct the best. Platinum and iridium are for longetivity. I suspect that's the case as my bike seems to now run very well with just conventional copper tipped plugs. After having platinums since it's…
- Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? I tried to move over to iridiums from platinums last year when I was experiencing some intermittent misfires with my engine last year. The local Honda dealer did not have iridiums in stock, so I just bought myself some…
- Have I Done Somthing Stupid? If you did not hear a lot crunching noise from your gearbox, I think you might have killed your clutch.......
- Cleaning Helmet Pads [Liner] Only thing I don't like when I wash out my helmet padding is the water, even with the mildest detergents, tend to fade out the padding textiles a bit after just a couple of washes...... I wish the manufacturers would…
- How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs Doubtful is the cluch pack will "Asplode" on you while riding with that one bad bolt. If anything would be of concern, it would be any collateral damage a loose bolt head will cause in the surrounding areas..... In the…
- Help With Reinstalling Pipe Even with no can, the end of the S pipe for most high pipe setups will be far enough below the plastics on the right side of the bike. as it will be about the same level as the right passenger peg..... Unless, maybe,…
- Vibes. I'm wondering whether playing around with different bar end weights might help minimize the vibration. When I changed over the bars of my 95 VFR to VTR1000 bars, I was surprised that the different bars and weights…
- Help With Reinstalling Pipe In need of some help reinstalling low mount mid-pipe. When I first took off the 2Bros. low mount mid-pipe there was a pipe/header gasket(which got destroyed during the removal). The 2Bros. high mount mid-pipe did not…
- 4Th Gen Ohlins Shock On A 5Th Gen...? Did you already sell the 4th gen WP shock? If not and will be selling it, I could be interested.... Beck 95 VFR
- Single Nut Rear Axle Conversion - 6Th Gen That looks fantastic! The wheel looks great but that that new cush drive assembly looks so exotic! I wish I had the skills and resources to do such mods...... It looks like a lot of work, but the product is worth it!
- Does Your Gen-8 Have These Fitted? Roo crap catchers.......?? :rolleyes:
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder Things could be weirder.....like how late 90's VW Jetta as ended up with brake fluid in their rear tailight housings..... True story, ask Some Jetta owners about it. Apparently the brake fluid level sensors in the brake…
- Identify This Crap! Yeah, you have a "rat bike".........."rat motel bike" bike that is......
- Deltran / Battery Tender, Making Litium Batteries Now? Easy..... just get one meant for a bigger bike like one for an ST1100 with more CCA's, if still available, like how we upsize for gel and acid batteries......
- Deltran / Battery Tender, Making Litium Batteries Now? Just in case nobody had noticed, there's a new player in the Lithium battery industry for vehicles.... http://www.batterytender.com/Batteries/360-CCA-Lithium-Engine-Start-Battery.html I wonder if they can be maintenance…
- Junkyard Must Go I guess I have to ask....... Might you have an 8 spoke rear wheel that needs a new home too,...... I'll even offer to take a few of you half empty spray cans of old flat black paint for proper disposal by me, if you let…
- Cruise Control Didn't Audiovox die a long time ago already??...... So maybe not available anymore new..... I remember the CC from them. It was basically a rehash of the same system for cars (just made water resistant) they used to…
- Slip Ons Only real complaints about the Staintune slip-on exhausts for VFRs, especially for the 3rd 4th and 5th gen models, other than they do not provide any power rise (which is mostly ridiculous to expect anyway) is that when…
- Teaser I'm sure, if you stare at the pattern on Dutchy's newly re-finished sprocket hub long enough,.......... you will see numerous figures of dancing naked women going around the axle hole....... :rolleyes: Not Oxymoron, but…
- Well, I Just Bought Kenny Roger's Vfr... I still remember when our matronly office manager had close to an orgasm in front of our office lunch crew when she described seeing Kenny Rogers in concert in Milwaukee. She almost fainted in ecstasy when she was…
- My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) The thought and work put into the rear subframe and seat especially, is impressive and really clean. Many do not put that much effort to modding those areas, but if one does, at the least, one will take a major amount…
