  2. Gen 5 Track Day? 22 Apr 2019 01:02 Thanks for the input. More fun occurred while removing front wheel. I dived into brakes as I was hearing pad wear indicator noise.........well not exactly. Discovered the PO failed to fit the left side axle spacer which…
  3. Gen 5 Track Day? 18 Apr 2019 09:29 Ok guys here's another question relating to Honda branded fork oil. This bike has 18 K on the odometer and figured I would do a fork oil change while the front end was apart for brake service. I'm working from a Honda…
  4. Gen 5 Track Day? 14 Apr 2019 21:54 2 hours ago, MooseMoose Suspension can do wonders for track day fun. Especially on the 5th gen, which are sprung for like 145 lb riders You'll have a good time. Well, that's me.
  5. Gen 5 Track Day? 14 Apr 2019 11:38 MooseMoose; thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts. First, let me say I am a small bike rider growing up with a pair of RD 350's, a Kaw 400 triple, and various 2 stroke dirt bikes. About 16 yrs ago I did my…
  6. Gen 5 Track Day? 14 Apr 2019 00:35 Thanks for the replies. I am reading and rereading them. Grattan has a long straight, various radius configurations , off camber, significant elevation changes, and simply has it all. Stray; you pretty much nailed my…
  7. Gen 5 Track Day? 13 Apr 2019 12:54 Just for fun I'm thinking of doing a trackday later this year on my Gen 5. The intent is learn more about handling this VFR which just can't be done on the street. It's been awhile since I did trackdays but did so on an…
  8. 86 VFR Questions 17 Mar 2019 01:50 5 hours ago, evl_twn You still got a sold starting point though. That pretty much sums up the evaluation and the decision to proceed. Enough of the crucial core requirements were met. Thanks for the input
  9. 86 VFR Questions 16 Mar 2019 20:05 Pulled trigger on deal but not at asking price of 4K. No way could it rate 5K The beauty was only skin deep and actually it's saving grace. Bodywork and seat in great condition. It had come out of a collection located…
  10. 86 VFR Questions 15 Mar 2019 21:29 FWIW I'll post the result. As it says in your sig......"I couldn't afford not to buy it" Thanks
  11. 86 VFR Questions 15 Mar 2019 21:18 Captain 80's...........What a beauty!!!!!! Not a skinflint myself....you get what you pay for....hopefully. A couple of bucks is trivial if the overall bike is in great condition. Tomorrow will tell....hope I can sleep…

  13. 86 VFR Questions 15 Mar 2019 20:42 Thanks for the input. Without damage all the way around. Supposedly never tracked or raced but built and sorted out by a racer and used as a weekend rider. 2000 era CBR suspension upgrades Hindle exhaust system I would…
  14. 86 VFR Questions 15 Mar 2019 11:25 Here's another angle [image: 00k0k_lBF9pb4BWf_1200x900.jpg]
  15. 86 VFR Questions 14 Mar 2019 23:53 Owner of an 84 VF750F and a Gen V. Looking for a new project. Stumbled across a very clean 86 VFR with 2000 CBR suspension upgrades, and 10K miles, well.......... any thoughts about the suspension change and approximate…

  17. Luggage Rack Options 22 Jul 2018 13:37 Of course some time has past here but while I was setting up another bike early this year I found Hepco Becker makes side and top racks for the Gen 5's. I have just gotten around to my Gen 5 and ordered the side rack…
  18. What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 24 Dec 2016 21:31 Thanks guys for this thread and replies. I have been running dualsports for decades where the job of fitting panniers (I use a Motofizz top bag) has been a cakewalk compared to figuring out what to do with my new to me…
  19. 84 VF 750 Tires? 6 Dec 2016 19:03 Thanks for that. Haven't made a purchase yet, will check them out.
  20. My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) 24 Nov 2016 01:55 New to group and I am about to embark on my own 1984 VF 750 rehab. This one is fairly decent to start with and has a few issues but who knows what lurks beneath. My first priorities are the oil mod kit, cams, and…
  21. 84 VF 750 Tires? 23 Nov 2016 09:42 Thanks for the input. Going over bike for warts and potential time bombs so it will be ready to go for spring. Given that it is 30+ years old there is plenty of maintenance to perform. Steve
  22. 84 VF 750 Tires? 10 Nov 2016 01:28 New here and i am about to pick up a new to me 84 VF750. Seems to be decent but needs new tires. So which do I choose bias or radial; Pilot Activ vs Battleax. Partial to Michelin but i am also open minded. Suggestions?
