  2. Stock Exhaust Vf1000R? 16 Feb 2016 19:39 Well, just had my exhaust stolen from me...I know someone you should avoid from Manchester UK. He is a thief and a liar. Karma John...karma right?

  4. Stock Exhaust Vf1000R? 4 Feb 2016 02:52 does anyone know if there was a version that had the ability to remove the front headers? vs pre welded from the factory? anyone?

  6. Stock Exhaust Vf1000R? 4 Feb 2016 01:48 anyone have a picture they could post up for me? of the weld - headers to the chamber?
  7. Stock Exhaust Vf1000R? 3 Feb 2016 21:04 Can the headers be removed from the suitcase - by design? All four pipes? or are two of them welded in place? from the parts list online...the chamber and front headers are one piece...not removable. Is this true?
  8. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 23 Feb 2015 14:33 I got another tank (non-CA style)...so I'm starting over with stripping it down etc. Boring stuff. Got all my decals in...expensive little buggers. Garage is pretty cold too...so I have not been putting in many hours.…

  11. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 28 Dec 2014 18:47 Will do...thanks Tom. I have a list of some other things to address while the carbs are still off. That is one of them now. Tank getting some attention: First coat of 2k Epoxy Primer [image:…
  12. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 28 Dec 2014 02:02 Of course all the carb boots are dried up and cracked...money pit. Tom: with all the time and money in the carbs they better start right up!!!

  16. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 23 Dec 2014 20:27 something like this?…
  17. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 19 Dec 2014 13:51 I looked at my pump...i'm going to get adventurous and try opening it...clean what I can and test it's flow per the manual. If it appears to be working ok i may leave it on. My only real fear is there is crap inside and…
  18. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 19 Dec 2014 03:18 Yeah...looks like I may just delete it all together...go with gravity fed.
  19. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 18 Dec 2014 15:49 Anyone know if the fuel pump is serviceable? I will assume there is junk in it due to it sitting for so long. Or if there is a comparable aftermarket replacement?

  21. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 12 Dec 2014 16:50 It was real bad when I first started....i have never seen that much gunk in a tank. I did two rust blast/flush treatments...MEK once, rinse it like 50 times and pressure washed it . At least now I'm confident that its…

  23. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 11 Dec 2014 14:21 Update. I was able to get all the dents out prior to sealing the tank. I wanted to make sure I wasn't pulling on metal after the sealant went in. I ended up buying a stud welder / dent puller from HF. Worked great...…
  24. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 2 Dec 2014 01:55 Tom I was wondering the same thing... Seat progress: Before: [image: 15218471693_b5d833cc66_n.jpg] After: [image: 15739646608_bcefc3d33e_n.jpg] Just need to tighten up a few spots and finish the band...my sister in law…
  25. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 30 Nov 2014 16:24 yeah...I was thinking of not going all out...but the tank is pretty much the first thing you see...and with the dents - faded paint...rust. Just wanted to do it right the first time.

  29. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 25 Nov 2014 13:59 Yeah...i didn't take any chances...I had good gear on. Whats funny is that when I poured it in the tank a little spilled on the tank itself...but nothing really happened to the paint. However - after 8 hours of working…

  33. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 23 Nov 2014 01:27 Thanks guys...where did you get the vinyl? Did you match up the reds pretty good? Yo unbalanced - you have any windscreen screws, nuts and rubber? I need 4 of them? Access door on lower fairing? I could start making a…
  34. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 22 Nov 2014 03:50 dcompson Sergeant makes a seat cover, that's where I'll be getting mine. Keep the pics coming! Looks good. Sergeant? I couldn't find him/her in the member directory.
  35. New To Site: 85 Vf1000R 22 Nov 2014 03:40 I've had really good luck with POR 15 tank sealant system...however I've never seen a tank with this much gunk. I'll do a few days soak with Apple Cider then rinse with a pressure washer prior to doing the POR 15.…
