Last 50 of 64- EnduringGuerila's 1990 VFR750FL Build Thread Man, for the utility it provides, and the miniscule percent of weight it is, I'd retain it. My 97 would have been a pain in the butt to maintain all these years without it.
- Motogp Austin Anyone in range of Austin, consider volunteering to be a track marshall next spring when MotoGP comes around again. I did so this round, and though it was long hours and a lot of standing at trackside ready for action,…
- Durango To Durango Via Arizona And Utah Had a great loop last week, originally planning to head up the Million Dollar Highway, 550, out of Durango, but rain was imminent and we knew that it would spoil the mountain passes and the curvy roads, so reversed the…

- 93 Vfr Newb In Over His Head! Morgan, read up on ABS repair. Regular Bondo is not going to adhere well and some of your hard work, once painted at cost, may crack. peel, split. Here is a link, and they sell an excellent book on how to repair ABS,…
- Pikes Peak � It�S Better In The Wind Yep, these bucket lists are killin' me.
- Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen I was interested in this topic also, and in looking around, see that the DOT specs for an H4/9003/HB2 bulb is 1580 lumens. It seems that the visible light power output of the LED you installed is the same as a stock H4,…
- Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen zoomzoom Considering that winter has befallen my home town and weather shall not be overly conducive to riding for a little while I shall not be able to really test out the new lights for a while to come. When I took…
- Fully Charged Battery - Dies On Starter Switch Bad battery.........you can get voltage stored, but little current capacity. You use your scant number of amp-hours (prolly milliamp-hours now) in a few seconds. Power to start the bike is volts x amps, so 13.5 x 2-3…
- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. Baileyrock Battleax Have all the filters listed in the first post been proven to be superior to the stock Honda filter? Read for yourself, this tester feels the Honda Filter isn't of the same quality as the recommended…
- Hard Luggage For A 4Th Gen Duc2V4 JETS Here is my solution. You may cringe at the aesthetics and low-brow branding, but they fit and function well. To be quite honest, I think she looks nice, I like the red and white paint job, it really stands…

- Highsided, Looking For Advice Dear Blue, I'll throw in a big "Glad you can heal this one"!, and urge a re-entry to riding when the time comes by way of a good riding school. Getting over the willies of a bad reaction to a stressful moment is tough.…
- Fox Twin Clicker Preload Adjuster I have a revalved Fox on my VFR and have never seen any diagrams of a hydraulic pre-load, just the screw on the body type. All I know.
- Another Oil Thread...ooooooh Noooooo So here is a really thorough engineering review that settles and clarifies some of the musings posted in this oil thread. Empirical data, rather than "It runs great in all my bikes". The URL will take you pages into the…
- When To Shift Weight In Corner Nick is the dude. He told me to move the butt over in anticipation of the corner, then to sit up to brake into the corner all the way to the apex, slowly dropping the head and shoulders to their lowest at the apex as…
- Who Has Removed Fuel Pump And Done Direct Feed To Carbs? I'd be a little worried that you might start running lean as the fuel level drops. Don't you think that is what's happening when the bike won't hold speed under full load? Valves burn, etc. not buying a pump might be a…
- Plastic Weld Or Epoxy ... The best info on repairs is at Urethane Supply.com. Two part plastic can be made into tabs, esp. If used with stainless steel mesh reinforcement. Home Depot sells an inexpensive epoxy that WILL stick to ABS. Most…

- How To Repair Broken, Or Missing Abs Body Tabs, And Hair Line Cracks As long as you are layering on epoxy and glass to the paint, it will stick ok, but FYI, epoxy and polyester resins don't actually bond to bare ABS. Two part adhesives (Plastic Welder, Loctite for Plastics) from the home…
- If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? I cannot yet fathom the bike I would rather have than the 97. Cross country or turning and burning off the chicken strips, it does it all with a howl and a gear whine that can't be beat. Nobody ever says, "What a great…
- My only Gap run of the Tmac 2012 Go-Pro with the orange thingy missing=rattle at speed?
- For those who love oem oil filters and hate Fram. For all those who are re-theorizing about oil filters, look at the articles previously explored here and on other websites: :beatdeadhorse: http://www.calsci.co...html#OilFilters If you are going to buy something , you…
- 4000 miles this summer and need gear. help me make decisions! [image: Posted Image] zox Helmet that I have used cross-country very successfully the last couple of years. Well made and fog proof, great sun protection and shades click up out of the way when it gets dim or dark .…
- which helmet Several HJC's, all good except the faceplates fog up. Scorpion Exo great with fit and no fog shields, good on price. Now happy with Zox modular for long rides. Well made, and no-fog works well. Use a helmet skirt and it…
- Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix On CBR accidentally tweaked a rotor breaking a bead. Damn! But just careful gentle pry-work as described above worked perfectly to realign the disc.Using the dial indicator is essential. I was the carrier that bent and…
- Riding Again After An Accident No road crashes, but did on the track early on, then several later as I pushed it to learn more at the edge. It kind of gets it out of your system to see where a reasonable limit is and survive the error, having learned…
- Hi from Dallas, Texas - Riding again after 5 years Likewise glad to see another Gen4 alive and well in Texas!!
- High right exhaust 4th Gen I modded the D+D and am very pleased with the sound. No high rappy sound, is mellow at idle, and at cruise is loud enough you can hear the tone of it, are able to judge revs. Not headache provoking as the clapped out…
- I just changed the oil but forgot to put the crush washer on the drain plug. +4 on remove and add washer. You haven't lived till you wash out the rear on oil (your own would do nicely, though other's oil or diesel work well). Possibly won't live anyway if the above happens. I'm down with VFRCAPN…
- Now I know I can fly and need improvement on landing!!! Broke mine at Barber a few years ago. Painful to wait for healing. You will do better after surgery. It will heal faster and less pain. Sooner back to the Viet Horse! Medical care in Ho Chi Minh City looks very up to…

- In Case Any Of You Ever Thought Of Getting A Plastic Welder - Interesting. Please elaborate. Do you simply melt the plastic at the crack and it seals up? Would this be preferable to Plastex or Loctite's plastic glueing product? [/quote] The melt weld (fusion) is not as strong as…
- Repainting my bike HS, here are photos of the air rig. I put some foam over the intake as a filter. The light gray corrugated tubing is a washing machine drain extension that is lighter and more flexible than the black 20ft long pond pump…
- Repainting my bike I'll shoot pix of air mask and post. The easy removal smooth blue painters tape has done well for me. Allow "Tape time" quoted on paint maufacturers data sheets (internet)before applying. Stripes and parting lines are…
- Repainting my bike HS, I am a physician and have also repaired and sprayed out my VFR "Louise" that you saw, plus I did my CBR RR in the Colin Edward wings scheme. I am real DIY-McGuyver, too, so all is possible on a good plan without…
- GET BENT!!! I know you are committed to the replacement path, but just for the sake of the discussion and future occasions to VFR riders, did you check into the relative cost of frame straightening? There are quickly Googled…
