Last 50 of 51- I am back on a VFR Man I would like to know the history on that VFR The serial number label makes me think it is a Canadian bike The image of the EPA label makes me think it is a US bike If the body panels are not a respray than my guess…
- I am back on a VFR Just for reference check this site , it may help determine the body work. For what it is worth ( not much ) but I have never saw a 1998 VFR in silver/gray here…
- Headed north Hope you get the weather we are getting on the 6th and today, almost 80F yesterday, mid 70F today, but be prepared this is crazy temps up here for this time of year and when this warm front is done so is the warm…
- How many motorcycles have you owned? Well I got to tell you, I have read the story of the RC45 find and the bike life of member ( Busy little shop ) many times and it still puts a smile on my face What a life centered about motorcycles and to find an RC45…
- 5th Gen Corbin SaddleBags (I have a pair) Corbin made these for a short time, but even up here there are a few kicking around, I just had to buy the bike to get a set 🙂 they made them for the 1998-2001 VFR800 but I did see one set for a 1994-1997 VFR750, once…
- Gotta Ride! What a amazing area you have to ride in, to be honest I never knew Cal ( I assume Northern ) had such county, sure would like to see it someday On the east coast of Canada today it is warm 🙂, -2c with snow on the ground
- Honda Unveils New V3 Engine with Electrical Compressor Dam that CB4X design is impressive, Honda sure has got a lot of milage out of the 400 in line 4 motor, if I am not mistaken that motor is from the CB1 back in 89-90
- Fuel Additives I just got back from a short ride and was wondering if any of you guys have had much luck with fuel additives helping to clean the injectors etc. while riding By the looks of my work load etc. a good additive may help a…
- First questions. God Dam Capt. That paint on your 4th gen is truly amazing, a person could get lost looking at how deep the coat is, there must be a pile of fine wet sanding followed by polishing compound for hours
- VFR Top 10 Again My god, how cool it would be to have a factory cut away of the RC30 sitting in the living room under glass.
- What happened to Honda Quality I dropped into the local Honda dealer today to smell the new Honda Plastic and was quite taken with my first impression of the new 2024 Tran Alp 750 I found the design components were smaller than the Africa Twin and…
- Hello all Very nice indeed, I have not seen very more 5th gen's with that style of exhaust can, man would it be cool to see it with a black 3rd gen rear rim and with that Pearl Yellow paint
- New Seat The Pearl Yellow looks good on that 93, Do you know who made the left hand exhaust by chance I got a 91 that needs a restore and I like your combination
- The version 3 optimization build What is the thoughts of the members when it comes to fork springs? Is there a brand that most seem to go to or is it simply that they are all better than the originals?, and user preference rules.
- The version 3 optimization build Thanks Capt, spent most of the afternoon here trying to remove that fork allen bolt, no luck so off to get a 10mm cobalt bit Monday morning I took the other fork apart and it looks to have the stock spring in it, I was…
- The version 3 optimization build Thinking about the fork lower with the stripped bolt last night and I think I may use a cheap allen wrench and JB weld it into the hole. That should take care of the issue. I really don't want to inadvertently drill…
- Freshening up a fresh 95 VFR I keep old dust seals as masking "plugs" and barely install them for the perfect masking line. After paint, pop them out and press in the fresh seals. Now this sounds like someone who has spent years learning little…
- Freshening up a fresh 95 VFR Very nice looking finish, is it from glassbeading or cleaning and painting? If it is from cleaning and painting you must spend a lot of time masking off the seals etc, or you just replace them
- Anyone know anything about what's happened to the world, VFRworld that is. If in the end VFR World moves to a FaceBook platform, I am dead in the water, I am be old but be dammed if I can live with facebook crap I hope I am wrong as VFR World had a lot of great information to help the VFR live…
- Freshening up a fresh 95 VFR You were not bull shitting when you said it is dam near perfect. What a nice piece The 94-97 was always one of those bikes in my bucket list. In the 90's we had Honda make the NR750 and I figured a 94-97 was as close as…
- DAM, The MBD Strikes Again Finally after dealing with hurricane Fiona damage and getting ready for winter here I have found time to put the 1999 restore project in its winter home. [image: IMG_4051.thumb.JPG.2b31765f1bf44ece65f53041038a23d7.JPG]…
- Galfer kit install - OEM brake removal question (6th gen) Well I got to tell ya, when I first saw the image of the red calipers I was not keen on the look However once I have seen the bike back together in all its glory I must saw it looks like a million dollars what a great…
- Fairing Trim Clips Christ this is better than getting a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas🙂
- Fairing Trim Clips Dam, you boys are good I will be paying a ton of these plastic trim clips for sure I looked at those Honda cowl nuts part # 90111-KW3-003 , and they were $5-$6 a piece as well, but I figured I would never find ones that…
- Fairing Trim Clips I was starting to put together a list of bits and pieces I will need for the 1999 VFR800 restore and I found I will need quite a few of the plastic push pins that attach a lot of the fairing and plastic trim pieces Of…
- DAM, The MBD Strikes Again I was really wondering of the pipes under the motor can stand to have a support block on them for a period of time, good to know before I started cursing if they can not stand the pressure I am surprised that the Rear…
- DAM, The MBD Strikes Again Well guys the Yellow bee finally made it home to the east coast, I must say I can see why guys with bikes from the west or dry parts of the country are always talking about their clean bikes So far I can find very…
- From 5th to 8th now back to 5th?? Quick shifter & couple questions... It also has a set of Heli handle bars None of my business but if that bike was any where's near me I would have sweaty palms trying to buy it, as long as the damage was not great and fixable. Value, it will as others…
- Yellow VFR, a simple but hard question? Well Lorne You made my day with the brochure information you have saved all these years When it comes to Honda sales information I have always been a packrat and have squirreled away a lot of years of brochures and…
- Yellow VFR, a simple but hard question? Well Sir That is one cool site, a guy could spend a little time there for sure seeing all the different colours used in the world while production of the VFR was still on going Thanks guys, I knew someone here could get…
- Yellow VFR, a simple but hard question? I was sitting here thinking about the day's to do list and started thinking about the Yellow VFR800. Over all the years the VFR750 or VFR800 was produced I could only remember two years the VFR was made with Yellow…
- Front left calliper 5th gen ceramic grease. That sounds to me like when the Brit's talk about Red Grease for the brake rubbers,???? It is great to get old, things change, I remember when wheel bearing grease was used on everything, looked today at…
- Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? Sounds like it is time to get a new battery If you put a load tester on that battery I bet it is history Very cool to see a 3rd gen with the optional clock, does it have the optional center stand as well?
- 1992 VFR750F Followed me home... on my trailer. Very nice indeed, That CB1 looks far better in Red than the original Blue. I redid my CB1 years ago and I must see if I have a picture or two to share, I went with a bright silver with a seat cowling something like the…
- 1992 VFR750F Followed me home... on my trailer. When the time comes I will be interested in seeing the final paint colours I have a 1992 VFR750 I bought as a spare, it was owned by a guy who was learning the art of powder coating, so my 91 has dark gray wheels like…
- Age check in CB-1? Let's see it! I'm on #7 I wish I could show you a few pics of the CB1 and others but they are all asleep in the barn and it is -20 out It has been a long winter here but you have given me the idea to get the herd…
- Age check in At this point I am 62 and hope I can throw a leg over a bike for a lot more years to come The first bike I got was a 1970 Honda CT70. It got three years of mowing lawns and sucking up to dad before he surprised me with…
- 3rd Gen. Intake Rubbers I have a 1990 VFR750 with only 15,000KM ( 10,000 MILES ) on the speedo and have a simple but perhaps strange question How do you determine that the carb intake rubbers are bad and are in need of replacement? Is it the…
- Pulse Generator Confusion You guys are right on the money I went out to the garage tonight and sure enough you were right the manual I was using had the wire colors wrong The part I can not get over is that my manual is the Honda factory service…
- Pulse Generator Confusion Hi Guys, I have a 1990 VFR750 that just does not seem to run right so I started checking the ignition system. based on my very limited knowledge of electrical the coils, wires and plug caps are within factory specs.…
- Tyga Man I would really like to see a 3rd Gen exhaust with a left side muffler I would also like to know if anyone has fitted the 4th Gen system yet, would be very interested in knowing what was thought of the fit and finish…
- 1990 VFR750 Carb Settings I have a 1990 VFR750 that I have returned to the road after many years of sitting around ( 15,000km ) ( 9000 miles ) To give you an idea as to the current condition of the bike the following may help Carbs totally torn…
- FH020AA Install Location on 3Rd Gen Well it took a while but I finally found time to finish the install of the new F H020 A A . I am impressed to say the least [image: IMG_1735.thumb.JPG.f14697e57e996099cf35732fa11d0fa5.JPG] I wired in the stator wires as…
- FH020AA Install Location on 3Rd Gen If anyone is interested in the location of an after market voltage regulator on a 3rd gen I thought I would give you my idea's and end result After making a block of wood roughly the same size as the regulator I am…
- New purchase very nice indeed, it is not too often I see a 1990 VFR750 without the rear fender being cut off I see it also has the rear signal lights as where here in Canada you have brake lights. I first rode one of these in 1990…
- FH020AA Install Location on 3Rd Gen I received the new FHO20AA today and while it is close to fitting in the original location it will not due to the original mounting stubs Before I resort to grinding off the stubs does anyone have a picture or two of…

- Fix Broken Plastic Tabs Do you know the code of Honda motorcycle plastics and what car bumper plastics code is?
