  1. VF1000R front rotor hardware 9 Mar 2018 06:21 Captain 80s Thank you. I might have a line on a set. Most breakers are fucking idiots. I've contacted every body selling front wheels and rotors a few weeks back... nobody had the hardware. You took the wheel off and…

  4. RS850 Replica 26 Jan 2018 01:11 (that's my graphic, btw); Well thank you for your efforts, I saw it after Seb mentioned the RC30 sprocket for my VF project, I always save things of interest and value....brain is not what it used to be....if it ever…
  5. RS850 Replica 24 Jan 2018 06:58 This may help, RC30 front sprocket I believe is outset by 5mm.... [image: d557484033a56c6ac1471848003bd10b.jpg] Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  6. New to 5th GEN 13 Jan 2018 09:05 Welcome, great find.....who does only 16k in twenty years? I just got one myself but with 155k (km) still sounds solid. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  7. What can you tell me about my VF500? 7 Dec 2017 10:57 I did read somewhere about one carb being jetted differently from the other three, I think on one of the VFR's to correct scavenging issues with the exhaust. Our VF'S run downdraft carbs on the front and sidedraft carbs…
  8. What can you tell me about my VF500? 5 Dec 2017 13:28 Would think power has a lot to do....120km/h is around the breakthrough wind resistance where you use more fuel than if you were cruising at 110. It's been a good few years, but 750 top speed listed around the 205km/h…
  9. RS850 Replica 9 Oct 2017 20:38 What swinging arm are you using in your swap? have you photo's? CBR 600 F '2000' swingarm is 10 mm wider than the frame opening. I've had two sets of custom bolts made up, next project, I've modified the frame on the…
  10. RS850 Replica 8 Oct 2017 22:09 And I thought there was something wrong with me doing a swingarm swap to the VF.... You're doing a transplant! Awesome, going to be watching progress. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  11. Which One? 12 Aug 2017 10:48 vegaquark "Better and refined" seems the same as boring and electronically overloaded [image: emoji23.png] Real men would use the 5th gen till the end of the world I'm with ya on this one! Drove a friend to the airport…
  12. What can you tell me about my VF500? 8 Aug 2017 22:01 Do you mean splitting the heads? Is there anything in the way other than the bolts? Can I do a compression test turning it by hand, or maybe a drill? Drill may work if all plugs are out! Just jump straight to a battery…
  13. What can you tell me about my VF500? 8 Aug 2017 01:34 Good score....yes, seems you have an oil mod. A motor that's been standing for so long would need to be opened? Compression test? Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  14. What can you tell me about my VF500? 24 Jul 2017 21:22 Gimp! Seriously? Haven't had them side by side, but 1000 frame looked to be shaped differently at the front. Does it slot in or some modification? Interesting, have another bike for another project..... Sent from my…
  15. What can you tell me about my VF500? 24 Jul 2017 10:16 Sorry man, way too big for your frame. Won't even fit into 750 frame. Rebuild or wait for something. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  16. VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years 8 Jul 2017 22:31 Did you pick some for the misses? Beautiful. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  17. What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? 18 Jun 2017 10:51 Not sure on main and needle, even though 38 idle jet is stock as on VF750 as well, they are sometimes changed out to the 40 because it corrects an issue of slow return to idle(too lean). Return others to stock if that's…
  18. Man I really am loving this bike 14 Jun 2017 09:09 Dutchy I would lay low on the Repsol.... MM crashed how many times last weekend? 4? 5? HRC rwb ok, but a Murrica theme? Has Japan now been annexed officially? :-) Haha, he did....x5 but made good on the day! From what…
  19. VF400F resto-mod 9 Jun 2017 21:13 Don't knock the projects....I felt dead inside for so long, now I'm building a bike I feel great. Projects are reason to problem solve but with a good outcome! Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  20. Wow 9 Jun 2017 08:23 If you haven't already seen it, follow RVFR, he's testing headers to set up a run for those interested and willing to part with "some" cash....dyno was not dramatically improved, but rideability is apparently impressive…

  24. This time it's for real Nicky Hayden has pasted away ! 4 Jun 2017 21:23 Nice to see respect by some GP riders displaying or adding a didgit to their race number to make his 69. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  25. I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 3 Jun 2017 23:07 What a find, and at that price! Lots of go fast goodies and "it's red" already the fastest out there [image: emoji12.png] Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  26. Beginning of my VF build 28 May 2017 09:37 Seb, thanks for the hint on the RC30 front sprocket, will definitely make things easier. For any that missed it, this chart popped up on someone's feed....good to keep for reference! [image:…
  27. Beginning of my VF build 28 May 2017 08:55 So, a 'little' more progress... My machinist 'Abe' is retired so work is slow but very happy with the way it's going. Not complete but very solid. Abe is concerned for my safety so double/triple thinking things through.…

  32. VF1000F Fuel Pump Failure? 20 May 2017 10:32 All good reasoning, some have bypassed the pump and relied on gravity, only drawback is tank needs to be kept on the full side. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
  33. 5th-Gen fork Upgrades 19 May 2017 09:52 RVFR, nice picture of your machine... A friend(mentor), long agony had a saying, "when I get the urge to work, I sit down and wait for the urge to pass" haha. Good advice, no? Who listens to good advice, time to play is…

  35. CBR600F2 wheels on my 83 VF750F HELP!! 16 May 2017 03:38 What the Captain said, if you don't have access to a lathe...forget it. I've jumped into the abyss, never mind the deep end! Fitting the CBR swingarm too.....wouldn't recommend it if you're not skilled or stupid! Haha,…

  38. 1985 VF500 ... Out of hibernation 25 Apr 2017 11:34 Auspanglish I'm the same, completely stripped down two 6th gens to make one bike and just put all the bolts in one box (per bike). I remembered where they all went. Maybe twice had to think for a minute. I was already…
  39. VF400F resto-mod 18 Apr 2017 11:30 A friend of mine had the VF400 in South Africa, really quick, was always curious about the inboard discs..... On the 750's the 'V' is different between the Magna, front bank further forward, shaft drive, motor turns…

  43. Beginning of my VF build 3 Apr 2017 10:17 Ok, time flies, suppose that's why projects take so long....after getting a hi-tenstile bar to my newfound machinist, he's made one swingarm bolt so far, I've ordered two for next project. Not fully complete but I'm…
  44. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 3 Apr 2017 09:46 Welcome, Anything is worth fixing if it has value in your eyes, seems you're halfway there anyway. Good find, if you haven't had a V four before, careful, they're addictive.... Following with interest! Sent from my…

  47. 5th Gen, front sprocket bolt stuck, advice? 26 Mar 2017 07:04 What VFR4Lee said, good socket flat sides internally, hexagonal, not multi fit that rides on the edges, or you'll have to get one of those with the rounds on them that lock on the middle of flat section of the bolt.…

  49. How old are VFR owners? 24 Mar 2017 08:56 sfdownhill OK - I admit to being the last to get it - what is the meaning of LucaBrasi? Does it have to do with Luca Cadalora? As to thread topic - I'm 52 and 11/12ths. As our president would say: "fifty-two plus plus…
  50. ABS light flashing? 20 Mar 2017 09:56 I would hazard that that's more of a servo than an actual spinning motor, so yes, probably got hot and fried....or just dry joints internally? Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
