All 25- Cowl Trunk It was really quite simple. The seat hump pivots on its locating tabs into the rear fairing and is still secured by the Frankenstein bolts. To allow entry, the slot that the seat hump locating tabs normally fit into,…
- Cowl Trunk Yep, Corbin Smuggler. Hideously expensive and as rare as unicorn tears. I made my own out of an old spare seat (albeit for a Gen4 but the principle's the same)... 🙂
- What a difference a year makes... Thanks for all the replies. I'll look into the R/R first, as that seems to be the first point of concern (again - thankyou Honda). Generally when I get a new bike the first thing I do is clean it. Gets me up close and…
- What a difference a year makes... 37 minutes ago, bmart Plenty of info on this forum in the 5th gen section. I'm sure that there is and had a quick scoot. I just hoped that the 54 pages of questions could be summarised a little 🙂 Charging Rec/Reg I'm…
- What a difference a year makes... Been a while since I've been on here - real life getting in the way (of everything!!) but finally find myself with some more time to myself... and a new bike. I've had my 1997 VFR750 for nearly 25yrs and I'm forever in…
- Single Nut mod 4th gen Nice. Prefer the look of the NC35 wheel as it kinda keeps it all OEM (or, at least, Honda)...
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 2 minutes ago, jhenley17 Y'all don't like the 5th gen styling? It's one of my favorites. If I can ever have ten bikes in my garage (only because my 8th already fulfills the same purpose), it'd be one of them because of…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? I think the truth is that there is no such thing as a bad VFR750/800 - every single one of them have their pro's and con's - so it is always going to come down to personal preference. I've always had a hankering for…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 57 minutes ago, vegaquark Yup, Ghostrider, you had a highside on that post [image: emoji23.png] 5th gen is from 1998 to 2001, and no vtec present, and not spiky design as the 2002 onwards. (No underseat twin exhaust…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? Early models of the 5th gen had an abrupt step onto VTEC that was described as 'unsettling'. In a straight line - not so much a problem. On a wet corner? - well, I wouldn't want it. Later models solved the problem so…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results Couldn't tell you from the top of my head - it was about 4yrs ago - but I'll have a little hunt around for the dyno print...
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 8 minutes ago, FairWeatherFellow Yes they absolutely do! You do any carb work before you got it dyno'd? Not sure how long my bike sat, but it spent a good long part of its life sitting in the sun. I just replaced my…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results I made 89.2rwhp on my 97 FV - I was pretty pleased with that. That was after I'd put 92,000 miles on it.... and then left it in a lock-up for 8yrs.... and just got it going again long enough to get it to the dyno. It…
- Adjustable Pillion Pegs There are these.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-VFR-750-F-1997-Vario-50mm-Adjustable-Rear-Footrests-Foot-Peg-/141449968862?hash=item20ef133cde:g:0gAAAOSwcu5UTKYw and these....…
- Run to the Pyrenees 16 hours ago, Duc2V4 Wow long video, I'll have to watch this during non working hours! Yep. Tried to condense down 11 days of riding into something watchable - hope I got somewhere near that...
- 3rd Gen with 4th gen fairings? I've been told that the 4th Gen bodywork onto the 3rd Gen bike can be done and clearly it has but I'd imagine that the donor bike has had to receive the entire bracketry and clocks for this to happen. You could fit…
- Run to the Pyrenees It started off as just attending a bike rally in Dorset, UK but as I had the following two weeks, it would've been rude to just leave it at that. Plus the FV had just rolled over into 6 figures and I wanted to know if…
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? Just searched your build thread. What a great thing to do, to build from scratch. Is the project finished or still ongoing? Must confess; I've been thinking of doing a SF build myself but I'm just a regular spannerman -…
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? No worries - I thought the same thing myself...
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? I have no idea how I have missed these! I must've searched a dozen times. Many thanks... :fing02:
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? TBH magpie, that looks just the ticket. You wouldn't happen to have a link would you? I've done the usual searches through google but nothing has come up...
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? It looks like it might have to be this way but I'm out in the stix so no easy (convenient) solution. The current one isn't dreadful so may just give that a deep clean and some paint...
- Any other rads fit the 4th Gen? I'm having trouble locating a good quality replacement for my 97 FV. Ebay throws up rads barely better than my one and OEM is stupid money. Are there any rads from other (preferably Honda) models that would fit.…
- a member here?? I remember reading about the Scottish girl whose skirt became entangled in the chain. I don't know what to say to or about people like that. I've ridden a motorbike in jeans and t-shirt, just the once, and never had I…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? While with limited budget and skill, I did nothing more than swap the fork lowers with the Firestorm ones to get the 4-pots on my Gen 4. Internals remained the same. The brakes are better, it looks OEM and helped me…
