Last 50 of 110- 86 VFR750 Inner Panel Reproduction Ahhh got it, yeah i'd be down for 1 set if under say 100 bucks? But really your best bet may be to reach out to the maker and get price ranges for batch sizes.
- 86 VFR750 Inner Panel Reproduction Wow those look great, one of mine is pretty well cracked so i've not wanted to install either side for fear of them just shattering. What's the pricing like on those?
- These bikes aren't getting any younger... Everything ages out differently based on UV exposure, temperature, the elements, etc, all depends on how you stored this thing and the age more than the miles in my eyes. I'd buy a 50k mile garage kept bike over a…
- Which Route Planning Software I have similar problems with bicycle routing. The best solution i've found is doing it in google maps in a laptop web browser, get it exactly how i want nice and easy, then use this site to convert it to GPX:…
- My 86 VFR750F That is awesome work, always nice to be able to trade labor like that.
- What is the OEM replacement bulb for low and High beam for 6th gen VFR I can't wait for mine to blow so i can go LED 😄
- Updated Tie Down Bolts..?? As in the cbr bolts use something besides flathead to remove them? The OEM ones you can use a coin, edge of a key, almost anything to get em loose if you didn't crank em down too tight.
- FOX TWIN CLICKER MOUNTING I should prolly get pics of mine, i tucked it up under the tail bodywork a little bit like the pic above. I used these mounts i found on amazon:…
- STREET FIGHTER BUILD - 6th Gen 7 hours ago, Marvelicious Or this ludicrous beast from Icon... conventional forks, but knobbies on a Honda V4... whoa not sure how i hadn't seen this before, pretty rad. i'd hate to pick that thing up out of the dirt,…
- Sweet 86 Ideally you'd be on the road with it more than in the garage, but that's just me 😄
- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? Finally got this old gal on the road. I love the way the "bronze mist" powder turned out, looks great on the bike. Much like stock, it depends on the lighting on the color they appear to be. Hopefully the nontextured…
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! Has anyone tried this with the center stand?
- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? I just got mine back, went with bronze mist. I hate wiping oil off of textured finish, figured this would be easier to clean. [image: brp70sa.jpg?1] [image: SGcgkLD.jpg] Anyone have any hot tips for replacing all the…
- 1986 VFR700FII refresh Wow that looks good. Love how you kept the 3 spoke looks of it. How are the widths of those wheels vs doing the conversion work to the f3 wheels? Would love to see pics of where you reinforced the tail section. I could…
- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? That gold dust sure does look close. Looking forward to results. I still have a spare set of covers i need done...
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! Honestly seems like a great deal for the quality here.
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! 18 hours ago, CharlieFoxtrot Evl_twin-- Do you know anything about the VFR in your pics? What's up with the second radiator?? It is probably the vfr400r setup, you can buy those twin rads pretty cheap on ebay and they…
- Auxiliary Lighting I put a Whelen Tir3 under my plate as an extra brake light, love it. Bought it at my local cop shop called GT distributors. Super bright dead on, off angles it is still quite visible but not blinding. I have it angled…
- "Fat Boy" Fuel Tank Mystery ('86 VFR) Hot to trot race stuff that accidentally made it into your hands maybe? Possible that Honda made some slightly larger frames and tanks for more capacity or better aero or airbox breathing?
- Replace '97 with a '01???? Is ABS not playing a factor in your decision? If you're going to be going up to EFI and linked brakes, might as well get the ABS. Proven accident reduction rates, no reason not to go for ABS if you are already shopping…
- Quick question Yeah and when you replace those vac lines i'd go ahead and resync after. Did you check/adjust your valves? That shouldn't cause your intermittent issues, but IMO when you've got it all apart for the 2nd/3rd time i'm one…
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 Damn that is an ambitious day right there. Why are you giong through San Antonio? Just to cut the time down i guess?
- vfr700f exhaust Is it bad that i sort of want some D&D pipes of an appropriate size just for the TX flags?
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. Dutchy you dog, post up any and all pics of that bike, in a new thread if you want. That thing looks awesome. No way they'd allow a clear clutch cover, already requiring safety wire on critical fasteners.
- 97 Low Fuel Indicator I get mid 30's mpg on my 96. I've got a super tall MRA touring screen and some fat hard bags on the side and i'm over 200lbs with my power ranger outfit on. Also i do almost exclusively stop and go city driving. No ida…
- 86/87 VFR 750F IMO if it runs well enough go for it. If it runs alright enough to get home and you get a good deal, go for it if you are down to clean the carbs or have it done. It isn't too hard once you take the plunge. A newer bike…
- 86/87 VFR 750F Only reliability issues these have is with charging systems, take a look at the stator connector and think about soldering it directly to bypass the connector that melts, easy job. Otherwise these are bullet proof.…
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage My early 86 F1 bike doesn't even have that plug that i can find. You should be ok leaving it off though, if your lights don't work or something you'll know pretty quick once you hook it all up. I know the euro bikes…
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage Take a pic of that extra plug and i'll let you know where it connects on my US bike, i've got all the fairings off as we speak anyway so should be easy enough to figure out. What was wrong with your old switch? I…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Haha wow, that "solution" is a fire hazard waiting to happen.
- Retro Paint Job I can never get enough of the RWB schemes. I actually bought a white helmet in hopes of making it rwb to match my 86 with some vinyl, we'll see how it goes...
- Retro Paint Job Oh that bike isn't mine just some random one I found while researching stuff for my stock looking red 96. I also have a red white and blue 86 though.
- Retro Paint Job Here is one i have saved that is rc30 style panted with 4 colors instead of 3. I'm looking forward to how yours turns out, love RWB myself as can be seen by all the money i'm dumping into my 86 :D [image: NLFxlYD.jpg]
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. 22 hours ago, CornerCarver Or Pennsylvania/New Jersey term for young person... [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/HVjbf-dHjW0?feature=oembed] Shame about red slut, it can be rebuilt though, glad you are OK
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. Forbes, 12/31/2016 at 7:19 PM Amazing work Sportstu, this build and 'Dutchy's' clean f2 convinced me to get this '85 500f2...... Came as a package, 750 & 500 for $500.00. [image: 35543153e23ba1a68cb62c0f524556c5.jpg]…
- More carb/jet issues That is the starter jet, per the manual you do not want to take those out. When i rebuilt/cleaned my 86 vfr 700 carbs i left em in. You should be able to clean em out when you pull the choke plungers though. You can run…
- VF750 Fuel pump relay operation The early bike fuel cut relays have a different style connector than the f2's, apparently the early CDI gives out a slightly different signal which is basically just an extra tach signal for the relay to see. Pretty…
- Adjustable Pillion Pegs Hrmmm i wonder if the buell pegs would work in the rear? I did that mod to get lower pegs for myself, i can measure them to see if they work for the rears. I think i paid like 35 shipped for them, took minimal…
- It' taking shape That looks pretty cool, i dig it
- bikes sold Yep yep, check all the switches that could hold up starting. Easy enough to check them with a multimeter, or if it isn't starting next time try jumping the contacts on them one at a time until starts and then you'll…
- surprice - birthday present Oh man, totally jealous.
- Nice VF750 at local show That thing looks super beefy, love it.
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage Pretty sure shipping costs would murder me. Have you seen the classic samsonite hard bags from the classic silverwings and cbx's? Those would be a perfect fit for the rc24 i think if you painted them to match.
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage They probably bypassed the fuel pump relay because of a failure so it runs whenever the key is on. Nice pics of the mounting for the bags, looks well done.
- a member here?? He looks way more excited about it than she does hehe
- Schwantz vs the VFR Thanks for the link. The ATGATT PSA at 14:55 with Courteney Cox cracked me up.
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage Are the mufflers black from the factory? Matches the bike quite well.
- Added Rear Lights Any chance for a daytime video? Those things are silly bright. Are they pulsing full time or is that just a camera trick?
- Poll: VFR Rider Ages This needs more polling IMO, like age, number of bikes, age of bikes, DIY or dealer serviced, commuter/tourer/racer/coffeegetter, garage kept/outside kept :P
- RC24 fever, "New" bike added to garage Did you guys not get the red/white/blue rc24's? I mean obviously it is the best possible color combo on them right? (i'm way biased hehehe)
