  6. I have a problem 11 Mar 2011 23:28 Or do you mean the Hindle "Unobtainium" 4-1 exhaust system. I was watching that one. Hope you got a great deal, she looks a little rough around the edges, but more or less complete. Larry VFRrider
  7. Seat modification questions 28 Feb 2011 04:15 I the dyi mod myslef and something very similar to your request on my 3rd gen. Since you have 2 seats (I believe), just do the front one and put a cover over the rear and use this as a SMALL storage area. For anything…
  8. VF1000R Updates 28 Feb 2011 04:05 Actually, that hole feeds cool air to the upper radiator. There are 2 on this bike, and one is in the upper fairing. Larry VFRrider

  13. R6 forks 5 Jan 2011 20:10 I did the Yamaha R1 forks, but used the RC51 SP1 upper and lower triple. I would suggest the SP1 lower with 929/954 upper for maximum down length, as I suspect the R6 forks are pretty short. All you need now is:…

  15. Choose your figure 22 Dec 2010 00:40 Isn't it kinda obvious. Snake Attack in your choice of color combos. I think you need an electric blue and frost white on silver. Larry VFRrider
  16. VF1000R 17 Dec 2010 01:04 I belive a 5" with a 180 is pushing it, maybe a 170, or go to a 5.5". You can get a DIY header kit made of bits and pieces and tack it together. Personally, I like Tom's mutant exhaust and will probably copy him. Larry…
  17. VF1000R 16 Dec 2010 00:03 When I had my VF1KR, I had a set of RC51 cans and mids to try on it. but sold it. In looking at the connections, bends , etc, etc, I thought they would be close due to the curve and connector size. My advise. Get a…
  18. Replacement Wheel / Rim 15 Nov 2010 00:16 I keep my front at 36, rear at 42 anyway. Larry VFRrider
  19. webbed kickstand 12 Nov 2010 00:56 Do like the pros do. Prop the bike up in the position you want it to be at the end. Now take a piece of metal and mock it up with hot glue, etc. Once its mocked up, make one out of someting you don't mind modding, and…
  20. TRON question 11 Nov 2010 14:51 Watching the TRON II trailer again and noticed the green e bike had air brakes, like jet planes. Also noticed Ducati GP bike had small "winglets" on the front of the fairing. Are active aero aids allowed in GP racing?…
  21. Seat cowl ? 22 Oct 2010 01:32 NO. But the seat cowl from a 93 is a valuable commodity these days. There is one on the fleabay UK right now, NIB. Larry VFRrider

  23. Feel like I'm getting lowballed by insurance 7 Oct 2010 20:00 What I did: Found a "like" condition, same year bike for sale on Ebay being sold in Allen (I'm in Garland). Took the sale price of that bike as my start point. Therse are called "Comps", comparables.Many insurance…
  24. De-Dumboed Looking for Billet Marker Lights 1 Oct 2010 16:07 CBR1000RR mirrors, Triumph Sprint (late model) mirrors, and many aftermarkets are all turn signal included. Just my 2 cents worth. I used the mirrors from a Blackbird. Look great, had to make adapters to fit my 3rd gen.…

  30. My laser level to the rescue... 21 Sep 2010 02:50 Cheater! Not using the old tried and never true eye and tape method. Lay down a line of tape, back up and look, rip it up and start again, and thats not even mentioning both sides. Smart, wish I had thought of it. Come…

  32. De-smogging a 4th gen (CA) 2 Sep 2010 21:43 Step 1: Cap all ports on the exhaust side of the heads where the chrome tube s go in with a flat plate, some high temp gasket pooky and original bolts. Step 2: Unbolt exhaust pumps from inside heads. Plug all vacuum…

  34. Sound...1 or 2 cans? 30 May 2010 03:55 I have a 93, but with shotgun style duals, and I love it. BUT, if your going for accuracy, stick with a single left can. If your going for what YOU like, I saw them as duals, one per side. Your money, your bike. Larry…

  36. Introducing... 2 May 2010 16:14 Don't know if you mentioned this or elsewhere. but I have seen turn signals placed in the rear cut outs on that CBR900RR tail. Looks good too. And I HOPE that license plate mount is NOT aluminum. Mine vibrated and…
  37. Rcbvfr Frankenviffer Texas Style 10 Apr 2010 04:30 Doug, Need a nice clear pic of the front fairing to tank region where the CBR600RR has that air intake fairing. Need to see how it fits for my RC211V project. By the way, NIZE. :fing02: Larry VFRrider
  38. Budget Crisis 10 Apr 2010 04:24 My friend is a LEO around Austin, TX. The official line is 11 is the limit, 12 over gets you a ticket. My speedo is not THAT accurate. I travel a lot, 35K to 40K miles a year, every year, company car. On the road, I set…
  39. Let the Mods Begin Part II 1 Apr 2010 18:14 Rusty, Maybe I'm beating a dead horse (again), but have you thought about moving the oil cooler forward and DOWN to clear the fairing? Just an idea? Larry VFRrider
  40. Wheel Paint 9 Feb 2010 15:59 Actually, best is powder coat, but costs. Your present wheels are painted and cleared, so best to strip them first. Search in the archives for aircraft stripper. Clean meticuluously. When real smooth, a really good…
  41. Can't get a definitive answer! 6 Feb 2010 20:50 I have a 93, with the collector, so it not apples to apples, but my slip is fine. I only get a pop once in a great while when decelerating, so I THINK its OK as factory jetted. Of course, for definitive answer, test on…

  43. How To: Gsxr Regulator Rectifier Mod 3 & 4 Gen 22 Jan 2010 04:12 Failing finding a GSXR one, I used the Hayabusa RR. ONly difference is it comes on it own mounting plate. Takes a little more trimming to fit. Larry VFRrider
