- 1999 Vfr800 Project aks801 Really nice work. Has inspired me to (possibly) go a similar route: purchase a bike in need of a LOT of freshening up, then turn it back into a superstar. For a long time I have wanted to do a frame-off resto on…

- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System OK so here is the update: I commoned the two red/white wires and soldered a 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp fuse directly to battery. Same results as vfrcapn, I gained 0.80 volt. So at idle I was at 13.5v and now at 14.3v…

- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System vfrcapn Here's the quick summary on my '99: did only step #3 and charging voltage at the battery went from shaky 13.1V (2500rpm) to solid 14.1V. I commoned the red-white wires coming out of the new style Honda rr using…

- Water pump leak Hey Jeff, I know with automotive water pumps when the weep hole leaks it's an indication that the internal "shaft" seal is leaking. If the weep hole is forward from the inner o-ring then I would suspect you may need to…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Well..the internet can be your friend and your enemy. Lot's of information but sometimes too much. The tried, tested and true way to get the right answers is to talk to a professional! I planned on clear coating my tank…
