Last 50 of 238- VFR1200 Project Bike Crazy awesome build!!! WOW
- Anyone in Minnesota around here? I'm getting very tempted to buy a 1200. I used to have an 800 and I kinda miss it. I know they are very different machines. I have never had the chance to ride a 1200 yet. Hell I'm seen all of 3 of them. Any owners in…
- 2000 VFR800 Daugherty Motorsports CBR929 Shock Upgrade I have the shock in mine and wow what a pain it was to install compared to every other bike I have worked on. It was a fantastic upgrade and made it a whole new bike!! I have the DMr fork set up waiting to go in this…
- LZR-17 _ VFR800 PROJECT _ V4R CandyRedRC46, 3/5/2017 at 6:21 AM The bio blade was tuned to run on ethanol= custom fuel & ignition mapping. Ethanol has very high effective octane, allowing for very aggressive ignition mapping. Custom cams can be…
- LZR-17 _ VFR800 PROJECT _ V4R PanzerAstridBears, 3/4/2017 at 5:30 AM No, I bought the ZX-10R forks supposedly undamaged. Not the case, and only lucked out and got a 3rd ZX-10R fork with the complete opposite part damaged. The ZX-10Rs are…
- LZR-17 _ VFR800 PROJECT _ V4R 4 sets of forks?
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems You think just those two parts?
- Need Flush Fit Replacement for Frankenstein (Seat Cowl) Bolts 14 hours ago, indianagenius You guys are really not helping much... What else is new? HAHA
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Thanks for the super explanation Mo. So it sounds like to get the 6th gen brake set up, which to me is very appealing, I would really need to get the whole system it seems. Maybe I just need to start using more rear…
- Ducati Supersport Yes that's what I said, I wish it had Single sided, that is one of the downers about the bike.
- Ducati Supersport Africord, 2/9/2017 at 9:21 AM Here's Cycle World's coverage. http://www.cycleworld.com/2017-ducati-supersport-is-sportbike-for-you-everyday-riders There is no question that this would be a fun ride. But I don't see…
- Ducati Supersport SO I have this question. Did Ducati have the ST and Supersport bikes at the same time? Or did the ST's replace the Supersport? If they were both being made at the same time this new SS would seem to be trying to be a…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Saoirse, 2/10/2017 at 3:20 PM [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/l8fN5G2jUuc?feature=oembed] I fully support ridding in one gear when you can as it takes things out the equation. It's a great learning tool at…
- Anybody do track days? I've heard lots of good stuff about California Superbike school. You should learn a ton!
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems The difference when using both vs just the front is amamzingly night and day. Shocking actually.
- Ducati Supersport I got to see and sit on one at the bike show here in Minneapolis. I'd take the small Multistrada over it everytime. It was comfy to sit on for the most part, I just don't think it was finished very well and I don't like…
- Anyone Going To Motoamerica At Road America? I'm pretty sure I'm going and I always camp when I go there. There is nothing better then waking up to the music of engines in the morning!!!
- 98 Exhaust Question Yes the longer pipe change the power. You'll notice if you want WSBK that after Honda finally decided they needed more top end they dumped the shorty pipe on the Fireblade and put a more traditional pipe with longer…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems 10k on a set of bike pads is a lot I'd say. So I wouldn't be too surprised that they needed changing. Also go ahead and use your brakes, that's what they are there for. Using the engine to slow down the bike is putting…
- 98 Exhaust Question Pics of this setup please!
- 98 Exhaust Question Bring it to a exhaust shop and they could make you a mid pipe for it I'm sure. Mounting to the bike is a different story though, you may have to get creative.
- More a refurb than a restore Yeah I know, but I just got full DMr goodies for my 5th gen so I'm in good shape now I think.
- More a refurb than a restore Auspanglish, 1/26/2017 at 4:54 AM Guys... Girls... Gods... Anyone able to give me a colour code or name for the gold on the rims of this darker grey model 6th genner? [image: efee731d56f53c96d3e5d5bf4b3c3ad4.jpg] I…
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 4 hours ago, dozyproductions Bearings? Loving the 'garage'. ;) Fork rebuild, new rear shock, brakes all around, and some beautification. My garage doubles as a dinning room :). No wonder I'm not married hahahaaha.
- Lost rear sprocket whle riding. 14 hours ago, VFR4Lee And people. :wink: That is ALWAYS the solution for that!
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration Looks like we were both in the same boat this weekend.
- VFR800 track project Has it lost any weight with the conversion?
- Ten Kate Racing - For the Nicky fans! Well the first day of testing Nicky is about where he was last year. I guess its good that the bike can already lap as fast as the last one with basically no development time into it. Ten Kate didn't get the bikes till…
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration Those are the same ones as on my RC51. They suck!!!! I didn't have any fall apart like that but if you are too rough with them the will disintegrate. The Wheels look fantastic!!!
- For all you northeners 3dcycle, 1/23/2017 at 10:59 AM summer cant get here soon enough I just now booked a hotel in lake George NY for 3 days, americade 2017 anyone going..... oh and btw nice bike I've got the whole suspension upgrade…
- For all you northeners I thought you were just torturing us. I get enough of that with my RC51 in the dining room and my VFR parked in front of my car... Sweet looking machine there!!!
- Another V4 Coming? It's a damn shame that Honda gave up on the RVF bikes. After all the time and development put into it they should have made the highest level bike available and RVF then you could get a Fireblade for the normal person…
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration Ohh dem is some purdy pipes
- 5th gen high mount Mmmm that does fit really well! Keep the pics coming, got a video clip of it in action, not just reving by chance?
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration LOTS or props to you Dozy for jumping in on this deal That is the best way to learn stuff. That is how I've learned most everything I know about bikes and cars. Keep up the good work sir!
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems With all of this talk of maintenance I walked over to my dinning room and took my RC51 apart, further than it already is. I cleaned up one caliper and pistons pretty well. Do you say I should put some DOT 4 on the…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems When I did the HH pads I lubed up everything and cleaned the pistons as best I could without taking them out. They didn't look to bad, but again its a 20 year old bike so there are all kinds of question marks. Anyone…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems I don't know if it's PR hype or not but I felt like it made a difference. I don't have the money to do all the swaps now with major suspension upgrades in the works but I'm going to ride my friends 6th gen again to see…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Duc - I imagine you could eyeball it and that would be good enough if you were bored hehe. Terry - I guess my main issue with the current set up is that it doesn't seem like anyone is home until I get really deep into…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems 20 hours ago, Duc2V4 I have not seen this kit but would be interested in seeing the instructions. Me feeling is that they are basically bypassing the linked portions by looping back the linked feeds to the main feeds…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems You know, are the ABS calipers different?
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems OK so based on that 1.1mm difference would the master swap be necessary as well??? I'm not super great with all these brake mumbo jumbo.
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Fantastic Terry, thank you so much for your data. Maybe it's time you change that whole ill informed opinions things ;). Now I need to see about plumbing differences. So lets see the total surface's are L5 - 70.7 R5 -…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems According to Bike Bandit I don't see that the pistons are different sizes. Having another piston up front would be nice. I'll have to look at some other 6th gens and see if I can just do the caliper swap up front and…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Yeah I don't mind the system really. The cost of the stainless line kit is rather steep but with my stock lines likely still the originals from 98 replacing them would be good for safety and performance. The prices of…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems OK so while doing more research I found this delinking kit. Anyone know anything about it? Hel D-link kit
- Just orderd DMr fork carts, any install advice? 5th gen. Cheers Greg!! Well It's going to be a while before I can do anything. I need to get my RC51 done first. And it's cold as balls around here so I'm not working in the garage when its -10 outside. The RC is in the house so…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems I see that the 5th and 6th gen stainless line kits are different. So yeah the valve dealio you were talking about is definitely a factor obviously. The Stainless line kit may actually be a good solution as the lines are…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Not totally but I don't mind keeping it. I just am not interested in spending a whole pile of money on it. I'm ok with it, I don't ride this bike hard enough to be trail braking. I do like the safety factor of it,…
- 5th gen and 6th gen braking systems Well after doing some picture research it appears that 6th gen calipers are definitely the thing that is responsible for the different distribution of braking force. The first picture is claimed to be 5th gen fronts and…
