All 39- New VFR 800 Fi '99 owner... Frame sliders and Chinese fairing kits? get the chinese fairing, the whole kit is cheap and it doesnt take all that much work to get them to fit. But no they will not fit like oem. However, the paint on them looks great and they are easily replaced, just have…
- LED Headlight bulbs r/r issues? I have run HIDs in all my cars for at least the last 10 years. I have alot of experience with retrofits and projector installs, and various brands. I have had issues with every one of my morimoto based installs. I have…
- LED Headlight bulbs r/r issues? You do not need the decoder, that is for CAN bus vehicles, like bmw bikes where changing the bulb type will throw errors. No the projector lenses were removed I am not sure what I going to do with them. The projector…
- LED Headlight bulbs r/r issues? I currently run these: http://www.jdmastar.com/product/313/8TH-Gen-H4-9003-LED-Headlight-Conversion-Kits-Set-of-2.html The only issue is you will have to spend some time to orient the bulb direction with the little set…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades This is the best part, since installing the new radiators and spal fan my legs are significantly cooler! I think this is due to running a pusher fan instead of a puller. I think with a puller fan the air has no where to…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades i am sure it could be re-welded. Its a very tiny pin hole leak.
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades I tried and ebay will not let me send the message. I have no idea how to contact other than through ebay's system.
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades The jb weld is just to get the bike back on the road so I can stop taking the metro train to work. I am on the hunt for a solution still.
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades I finally got a chance to do a 40 mile ride today on the new radiators and wow do they work!! It was only 59 F outside, and the bike while moving would only get to about 172. When stopped it would rise into the 190s. As…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades Heres the fix. Its not pretty, but I tested it tonight and it help up to 180 degrees. [image: 20170928_215937.jpg]
- Advice needed for 5th gen brake bleeding I manually bled my whole system. I find that nothing can get the brakes as solid as a manual bleed. Even when I use a vacuum or pressure bleeder, I finish off the bleed manually. This can all be done by one person. The…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades I bought the spal 5.2" pusher fan from amazon. I am going to give my radiators a thorough cleaning and install the new fan. If that doesnt work, then I will look into replacing the water pump. As a last resort I will…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades 1 hour ago, KevCarver I've been riding an F6B around all week. It's got side rads and fans that pull from the side and push the air out the front. Exactly like the 5th Gen, except for the second fan. Biggest difference…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades i found this rc51 spal fan install and then I found the mentioned fan SPAL pusher fan on Amazon Any thoughts?
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades ok, so no one has tried the spal fan so far? keef, do you happen to have the dimension of the TLR radiator, and do you have pictures of the finished install?
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades I have been researching off and on for the last couple of months of how to get my VFR to run cooler in stop and go traffic. The highest it reach was 239F on the gauge cluster. I have found a couple of options in the…
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread im looking to buy a house around lake lignanore. I like that area. There are not many VFR owners in the area, I have only seen 4 in the last 5 years.
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread sorry to hear about the grips. I switched to progrip 719s and they feel pretty good, but the fit was REAL tight on the left clip-on. Also I would love to know about some new roads in maryland. I am in damascus. I am…
- She has some new bits. Why the custom projector setup as opposed to using mini H1s or mini D2S'es? Also what projector body did you go with for your setup?
- Better Bulbs thanks for the info, and much respect for digging that deep! So from what you found honda uses an H4 bulb and everything around it is non-standard?
- Dyna beads fail with pics I have Metzler roadtec Z8's on my 5th gen.
- Dyna beads fail with pics I know this topic has been beaten to death, but i got rid of the dyna beads in both my tires. They did not work. I would get a vibration that would oscillate from front to rear and back at any speed above 85mph. After…
- Better Bulbs Its not an h4, our VFRs use PX43t, its similar to an h4 but has a different base and runs at 45watts in high and low. To make an h4 fit, you have one of 3 options, buy an adapter ring, bend up one tab of the bulb, or…
- Better Bulbs After considering all of the H4 retrofit HID kits, I decided to fit morimoto mini H1 projectors to my bike. They were really easy to install. They are about as close to a bolt on installation as you can get with…
- New And Improved Alternative Ram Mount just installed one on my 5th Gen [image: 20160325_002548.jpg]
- My Custom Tourer lovin th projectors, what did you use for your retrofit?
- Working On Becoming A Traitor To The 4Th Gen V-FORE I am very curious to see how your fairing kit fits. The fit on my 5th gen kit was terrible. It took several hours of drilling and grinding to get everything to come together in a half way decent fashion. At the…
- N + 1 Snowdog The CX was known as the plastic maggot this side of the pond. Not a fan of either TBH. But each to his/her own It wasnt in the US because it didnt have any plastic. It was a naked bike only here. You guys had…
- Steering Stem Tool 07916- 3710101 Replacement I don't own an angle or bench grinder. I should probably buy one at some point. It's the only common power tool I don't own.
- N + 1 I really like your cx650. I've had my cx500 for almost 5 years now, and it has been bullet proof. It always starts and runs no matter how much I lax on maintenance or how cold it is. Keep the oil and coolant fresh and…
- Steering Stem Tool 07916- 3710101 Replacement Well I ended up buying one on ebay. I'll let you know if it works. I did the drift and hammer method many times on my cx500 for both the rear wheel bearing and the head bearing. It really does damage the part because…
- Steering Stem Tool 07916- 3710101 Replacement would this work as a steering stem tool for a VFR?…
- Shindengen Fh020Aa Rectifier / Regulator - Super Mosfet Kit I'm glad this thread came up, I'm going to order the super mosfet kit today, since I have hard starts and my dash clock keeps reseting. Voltage was already weak when I got my bike.

- What Chain Lube To Use? So I checked the FSM and it says "Clean the chain with non-flammable or high flash point solvent and wipe it dry". Does kerosene and WD-40 fit this description? and as far as the oil "Lubricate the drive chain with #80…
- What Chain Lube To Use? I think I'm going to clean up the chain with kerosene, then moisturize it with chain spray. I found done at a local Wal-Mart. this will hold me over until I get one of the scottoiler systems. My bday is coming up. it's…
- What Chain Lube To Use? I am new to VFRs, I have a 5th gen and this is my first chain driven bike. What do you recommend as a chain lube? I have read good things about the dupont teflon chain saver. But then I read it was discontinued. So I…
