Last 50 of 60- What is Jelly in America? The jelly you're talking about is Jello to Americans. When Americans say jelly they're referring to jam.
- cam regrind 6th Gen I think for the money you'd invest in having the engine work done, most people would just buy a faster bike. If you really want to chase horsepower, the 5th Gen engine can be made to fit with relative ease and the power…
- Hello and Intro 8 hours ago, Dutchy Chestnuts or chesty as in....... :goofy: ...Or we could just keep it to motorbikes.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA I think the only real difference is the exit where the link pipe fits on a 6th Gen is about 5/8" shorter for easier fitment, but they're otherwise identical.
- combined brake system I de-linked my brake system when I did my suspension. I'm now running F4i lowers up front with DMr cartridges, 954 calipers, 600RR front master cylinder, F4i rear master cylinder, DMr rear shock and the OE rear caliper…
- Tail Light/Front Turn Signal Conversion It's the bottom rib one you need. It says so in the thread I linked to.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA I'm definitely more of an over man, myself. [image: 2020-06-09_07-15-00] Oops, wrong forum...
- Changing oil cooler lines
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 hour ago, Rush2112 I checked with my engineer and passivation and polishing/wire brushing are not the same net effect with 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is more than 50% iron, around 20% chromium and about…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 9 hours ago, Rush2112 I wasn't sure if polishing the headers after passivation could compromise or remove part of the oxide layer and leave the polished headers more susceptible to rust and corrosion. I can't see why it…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA All passivation does is acid etch the surface to restore the chrome oxide layer that's destroyed by the heat of welding, which is what gives stainless steel its high corrosion resistance. It's perfectly normal for the…
- Sidi Rex Air Boots Yeah, they're not cheap but you can send them back to the factory and have panels replaced, have them resoled, etc. Buy once, cry once.
- Sidi Rex Air Boots If you truly want the safest boot money can buy, you need to look at Daytona boots. https://www.daytona.de/en/index.php?section=mediadir&cmd=detail&lid=3&eid=89
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Mine arrived yesterday safe and sound. I've just gotta make myself a link pipe now. I might have to sit on the bike and make engine noises in the meantime.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA One of those 6th Gen headers is mine and the centre stand was one of the first things I removed from my bike, so I won't be needing a stop.
- Carb to efi conversion Megasquirt seems to be the go-to for most people doing such conversions. http://megasquirt.info/
- Tail Light/Front Turn Signal Conversion Sorry I'm late to the party. My 2003 6th Gen came with '06+ clear tail lights, but the previous owner had just butchered the stock connectors to fit. It always bugged me and I spent a stupid amount of time tracking the…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Fingers crossed. I think your payment makes at least six, which is the minimum Wade will build. Come on people!
- Dyno Charts? There's an 8th Gen dyno chart in the performance header thread:
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA I'm still waiting for my headers and none of you are helping. Keep it to yourselves, will you? 😛
- front f4i fork/brake swap = rear f4i brake cylinder? You'll be operating all three of the rear caliper pistons with the rear master cylinder rather than just the outer two. The middle was previously operated by the secondary master cylinder on the front left caliper, but…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA PM'd SF on Saturday and have yet to hear back.
- 3rd gen. Sprockets...Smaller front or bigger rear? Steady, now.
- Howdy from Colorado They are really growing on me. Welcome back.
- F4/F4i Forks - Apologies in advance Also, I believe the travel is different between VFR and F4i forks. From memory, the VFR is 109mm and the F4i forks are 120mm, so the VFR cartridge tubes must be used in the new frankenfork to prevent the front tire…
- Brembo rear brake Very nice. I take it these adaptors aren't compatible with 6th Gens?
- Custom Brake Lines I just bought some Venhill lines from the US distributor, but you could probably get them shipped from the UK. https://www.venhill.co.uk/line/build/ The quality is top notch and I thought the prices were reasonable.
- Sprocket Change? Unless I'm mistaken, wouldn't -1/+2 make for a 15/45 gear ratio? Stock is 16/43 (at least on a 6th gen).
- Clutch Side Fairing Bracket https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/64515-MCW-D00 [image: Screenshot_20190702-014435] I believe it's #10 you're looking for.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA You sure I can't tempt you? I mean, it melted your little plastic doofer and everything. Five bucks and a packet of Cheetos, that's my final offer.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 hours ago, VFR750F3 Just finished bike for road america front right header melted plastic. Incorrectly bent. Disappointed [image: 20190628_133137_Film3.jpg] Yeah, you're probably right; those headers are rubbish. I'll…
- AS3 Mystery Silicone Hoses That's invaluable information, Duc2V4. I guess I'll leave the two hoses on the shelf for now. I should have known something was up when they listed the kit for 2002-2014 VFR800s.
- AS3 Mystery Silicone Hoses Thanks, Mohawk. I'd previously downloaded the service manual and have been working largely from that very diagram. I've already got the two hoses you mentioned in place, so I know they're not them. I really appreciate…
- AS3 Mystery Silicone Hoses I've been putting my bike back together after a winter rebuild, and thought I'd treat the old girl to a set of AS3 silicone hoses. It's been a complete tear-down and so I haven't had the luxury of removing one hose at a…
- Secondary "kill" switch Aiming for the chest? You'd shoot a man for trying to steal your bike?
- Denver Riders Still getting my bike back in one piece after the winter refresh, but I'd be up for a run up Squaw Pass or something once it's up and running.
- Any VFR 8th gen with different color wheels out there I'm rarely a fan of race rep paint jobs on VFRs, but that looks well. Nicely done on both the bike and forum handle.
- Antifreeze coolant flush Citric acid is easily obtainable from any supermarket and will do wonders for a rusty steel part left overnight to soak in it.
- Just my luck. T-Rex no cut frame slider FAIL I guess I'll cross those off the list of future purchases. Sorry it had to happen to you, though, mate. That sucks a fat one.
- FS: Racetech 0.90kg/mm Fork Springs I purchased this spring kit from a seller on eBay who originally had them listed for a Honda CB919 Hornet. I cross-referenced the part number (200-3732090) and realised they'd be compatible with a 6th Gen VFR, too. I…
- 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build I thought it had non-linked brakes? It always looked to me like F4i forks and brakes.
- A nice pic I saw of the 07 RWB on the track RC36, 10/16/2018 at 6:35 AM Am I the only one who thinks it looks pretty horrible in this colour scheme? *awaits RWB owners backlash* I've never understood the appeal, either.
- Potential Re-Release Of Two Brothers Racing Vfr800 Headers Whatever he found ideal for his highly tuned, bored out race engine would most likely be horrendous on a stock VFR.
- DMr F4i Shock Length Does anybody know the eye-to-eye length of a Daugherty F4i shock adapted for use on a 6th Gen? I know the OE VFR shock is around 317mm and an unmolested F4i shock is about 305mm. Is the DMr shock 12mm longer or more…
- 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build Seeing what Mike Norman and Tyga can do with the NC30/35s, I'd take them over Black Widow any day of the week.
- Rear Wheel Perhaps I'm missing something here but, if the new ten spoke wheel is slightly heavier and costs around $900 to fit, what exactly is the point?
- Re-Locating To Co. Springs vfrurknee TheLimey, Jon was recently in Europe on a business trip and Miguel aka Hispanic Slammer, the VFRD CEO was going to join him there for some touring after his business was completed. Don't know if they have…
- Re-Locating To Co. Springs Somewhat of a thread revival, I know, but this thread pretty much sums up my situation. Just got a job as a mechanic at Bicycle Village and am moving up from Arlington, TX. Any of you reprobates still around these parts?
- Sidestand Wobbling, Causing Excessive Lean VifferCrab Fixed mine today for $1.37 You beat me. Mine cost $1.46 and took me three attempts to find. It seems metric fasteners are a rarity in Texas.
