  5. 1994 vfr750 repairs. Looking for some input 27 Feb 2018 19:00 I think they were 5/8th or 1/2" but I'm not positive. I'll go pick it up tonight and measure/seal them. With the snorkel in and all those holes I am pretty sure that is more airflow combine than just having the snorkel…

  10. 1994 vfr750 repairs. Looking for some input 17 Feb 2018 23:41 12 minutes ago, NateV8 Hmmm 15$ a plug seems kinda expensive. Does anyone have the part number for the NGK iridium plugs CR9EHIX? Are they a threaded top? Nevermind, the website I use has the best price at $13 a plug.
