  1. Class Reunion 10 Aug 2017 16:18 Really awesome stable man. Bet it feels great to pull them all out together.

  3. Vfr8 Streetfighter 28 Nov 2016 21:24 Had to drop in just to say.... hnnnng... loving it man! More pics, stat! Also, what color did you shoot the main engine frame? I like it.
  4. Odd Problem 6 Apr 2016 18:42 I had this exact problem on my fighter. Jumped the neutral safety switch permanently and it went away forever. It was the strangest thing.
  5. Veefer Madness 26 Jan 2016 19:12 You wanna talk about inspiration. Your vfr sf's chain guard is amazing in both styling and execution.
  6. Veefer Madness 24 Jan 2016 17:05 Doing some more stuff to the bike. After looking for good ignition alternatives I reluctantly just relocated the stock unit. I'll be getting a button type key cut this week so nothing protrudes from the tumbler and it…
  7. Vfr8 Streetfighter 31 Oct 2015 19:24 Hnnngg... Gonna need track day pics as well.. That fender is the clearance problem with the rad brother. That thing looks to stick way off of the profile of the tire. Seems like I have a bit more clearance than you do.…
  8. Veefer Madness 24 Oct 2015 23:57 keef Really Nice work. Thanks bro. Right back at you. Now for the wheel situation after I ride out the rest of this season.
  9. Veefer Madness 24 Oct 2015 22:49 ggathagan Nice! Definitely an improvement. It's always nice to see an exhaust setup that doesn't block the wheel from sight. Not to mention how much easier it is to remove the wheel. I absolutely agree. It's been a long…
  10. Vfr8 Streetfighter 7 Oct 2015 13:42 Rough and ready is slow but surely. Sebs bike is sweet but it's a gen 4. And there are just so fewer gen 5 fighters that I think your set up is special. Definitely think the custom sizing on that front mount is the way…
  11. Vfr8 Streetfighter 6 Oct 2015 17:40 Slow clapping in my chair at work right now. Now where are my pics of that custom rad?!
  12. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 22 May 2015 13:48 fantastic Seb. I love all the little touches. Oil cooler looks awesome vertical.
  13. Vfr To Buell Style Conversion 8 May 2015 13:02 Not trying to be discouraging but you should consider selling your vfr and saving up for a Buell. They aren't all that more expensive than a clean vfr and you will save yourself lots of money and time by doing some sort…
  14. My Vfr750 Fl Project With Rc51 Sp2 Front End. 2 Apr 2015 15:54 Every time I see an update of one of your threads it reminds me of how much I would love to live and operate in Japan! What a fabulous country but my opportunities there were limited despite speaking a decent amount of…
  15. Veefer Madness 2 Apr 2015 15:45 Hey FSAE. The bike is certainly a treat. The bar height and width make the more aggressive tail angle more balanced and comfortable. The bike handles well but since Ive got it back together I find the front end a little…
  16. Veefer Madness 27 Mar 2015 01:21 It's getting there. Bone is good, arm is still weak as piss. not riding yet, waiting on strength and flexibility to come back before the doctors (and my wife) let me ride again. still managed to put a scorpion full…
  17. 1999 Vfr800 Project 22 Mar 2015 01:44 So is that pic just a rinsed pic after wet sand or did you clear it yourself? Either way looks very nice. But yes if you cleared it already the factory graphics were underneath the clear. If so you could always just go…
  18. Veefer Madness 21 Mar 2015 15:09 I'm very very jealous. Nice work. Cheers man. Been waiting for an update on yours. Hows that busted arm? I guess Id stay pretty preoccupied with a mt09 in the garage too... :fing02:
  19. Veefer Madness 20 Mar 2015 02:06 Looking really good man! I like the grey and black. Thanks dude. I like it too. Should be a few more minor touches and she will be ready to ride! I have a 1098 solo cover, and a smoked led integrated taillight if you're…
  20. Veefer Madness 18 Mar 2015 23:10 Getting close! [image: 20150318_180641.jpg] [image: 20150318_180656.jpg]
  21. Aftermarket Tool Box 18 Mar 2015 00:40 Must have gotten too used to your e30.. lol. Does your 5th gen not have a tool bag with it? You can still find them but they're super pricey imo.
  22. Need Verification 16 Mar 2015 02:20 Yeah don't remember having to on my 98' but must be different with the cats there.
  23. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 13 Mar 2015 14:27 Nice! Had no idea this was in the works. I'll be watching. Also, I see you already have the 6th gen cushion bolted onto that 99 motor. You going to use the stock rearsets?
  24. Vfr750 Rc30 Body Kit 9 Mar 2015 19:36 Besides maybe a '12 cbr1000rr this will be my next Honda project. They look great. Especially the street example or a [image: Honda%20CB1100R%20%20Pro%2008.jpg] What is that Dutchy? It's magnificent

  26. My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process 5 Mar 2015 18:18 apexandy … can get sketchy at times though. haha if its not sketchy its probably not very creative. I just felt like your aluminum results are always so nice and I have a hard time working with aluminum stock I wanted…
  27. Veefer Madness 5 Mar 2015 18:05 Super blue is NLA??? Yeah, its no longer legal for retail sale here in the US. Something about the color and DOT regulations. This happened a year or two ago. I've been watching for it and saw 3 liters on ebay unopened.…
  28. My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process 5 Mar 2015 03:33 Hey man, what are you using to cut your alu? It seems like you're getting really nice cuts and I always have such a hard time working with it.
  29. Veefer Madness 4 Mar 2015 23:10 Gosh this is a mess but its slowly getting there. I'll start with the rc51 master rebuild. I bought this master almost a year ago and after version 1 of the bike was up and running I tried to mount it but for the life…
  30. Veefer Madness 4 Mar 2015 00:13 Nice. I'll look into that. I've got some clear here at the house. Krylon maybe? But I don't want anything real thick or brittle.
  31. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 3 Mar 2015 23:51 Otaylor38 paladinreed Great thread idea. Picture packed! Here is my vfr...20150302_162917.jpg Oh wait but that's not the pic you want to see! This is more like it. Before the latest tear down.image.jpg That back wheel…
  32. Veefer Madness 3 Mar 2015 22:49 Color matched the stock rear wheel and mounted a new michelin pilot power on the rear. Can't wait for this thing to come back together [image: 20150303_164841.jpg]
  33. Veefer Madness 3 Mar 2015 18:19 Been working on my brothers vstar classic doing a Bob job. He got the kit from bluecollarbobbers.com and I have to say it was a very nice albeit pricey kit. I wouldn't be inclined to ride it in its stock for but it's…

  35. My Vfr750 Fl Project With Rc51 Sp2 Front End. 2 Mar 2015 03:12 [quote name="TheStig" post="987055" timestamp="1425192738" Summer's tough in Tokyo - hot & humid! :wacko: I prefer the cooler seasons to be in the city but don't go there much these days. Prefer the peace and quiet of…
  36. Veefer Madness 2 Mar 2015 02:52 Stripped the vinyl. Going to start paint prep tomorrow. Also got in an 848 solo seat cowl, seat lock, and my techspec tank grips tonight. [image: 20150301_194826.jpg]
  37. Veefer Madness 28 Feb 2015 02:04 It's like 30 degrees out here in west tx so I still haven't begun painting the frame. But I did get a new clutch cover gasket, mounted it, the rear down pipes and the rear brake. It's coming back together a bit at a…
  38. My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process 26 Feb 2015 23:22 Truly amazing how factory it looks next to the other factory fighters. I mean that as a comlliment. Also, as an aside I love the hugger, amazing how much more room between tire and swingarm there is on the 4th gen than…
  39. Veefer Madness 23 Feb 2015 22:28 Duly noted gentlemen. Thanks for the heads up. I'll yank them while it's convenient and shoot them with a clear.
  40. Veefer Madness 23 Feb 2015 19:47 Coat those bolts with something. They will rust rather quickly now that you've stripped the factory coating off. Are these not stainless? I couldn't tell that there was a factory coating but then again I'm not sure…
  41. Veefer Madness 23 Feb 2015 18:47 Got the valve covers on. Waiting on a new clutch cover gasket so the right side can't be mounted yet D: Otherwise, if you're not using this method for polishing up bolt heads yet, you need to start. Just use a nut so as…
  42. Vfr8 Streetfighter 22 Feb 2015 02:16 Dude! Didn't know the injury was so damn bad. Rough go brotha. I'll be subcribed in the meantime. Best wishes on the recovery.
  43. Veefer Madness 22 Feb 2015 02:07 Dang that looks great too. I decided to holhold off for the time being on the stator cover because it's in great shape and the whole bike is going to have a black Grey theme this time around. I wrapped the rear…
  44. 5Th Gen Harness Mod Questions 21 Feb 2015 04:25 Hey man. Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually been running the bike without them plugged in for a few months no but they simply take up too much space under the tank. I just wanted to clear that they will be good to…
  45. Vfr8 Streetfighter 19 Feb 2015 23:14 Where's the update? I wanna hear more about this new radiator...
  46. 5Th Gen Harness Mod Questions 19 Feb 2015 22:31 Hey guys. I'm not currently running a dash on my vfr800 streetfighter and was wondering if I would have any drawbacks from cutting off the stock dash connectors and capping them until I reuse them for an aftermarket…
  47. My Vfr750 Fl Project With Rc51 Sp2 Front End. 17 Feb 2015 02:36 Love your threads. What took you to Japan if I may ask? Just spent 6 weeks in Tokyo this past Summer. Incredible country.
  48. My 4Th Gen Project 17 Feb 2015 00:26 Great progress so far!
  49. My Vfr's 17 Feb 2015 00:14 Great looking bikes. Although I've never owned one, the rc36 is what got me into street vfrs. I ended up with a fuel injected 5th gen which I cut to pieces but I've always wanted one of these.
  50. Veefer Madness 16 Feb 2015 22:42 [image: image.jpg] Got these in today. These mirrors are really slick. I got them for far less than a comparable quality aftermarket mirror would go for I figure. They are like new off a Diavel with 160 miles on it.…
