Last 50 of 296- Rear rotor recommendations 2 hours ago, Captain 80s ????? If the front brakes are still in good working condition, how does it make an appreciable difference what rotors just the front inner pistons are pushing the pads against when the rear…
- Rear rotor recommendations Since the brakes are linked, it’s highly recommended to replace all three sets, together. I run Braking of Italy rotors, with DP Brakes pads.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 hour ago, RC51Nick This freaking exhaust. Did anyone who got the last batch of headers here have any major install problems. I'm not an idiot with a wrench and this isnt my first aftermarket exhaust install but…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA RC51Nick, 5/4/2024 at 10:17 PM I got lucky with a customshop about a half hour from my house. Expanded the Staintune mid pipe and no cradks. fits the header perfectly. Need to get a bigger clamp tho from Staintune but…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA RC51Nick, 4/30/2024 at 2:15 PM Now to get my staintune mid pipe expanded to fit over the header outlet and I can put everything back together. Be extremely careful with the expanding. I took my header and Staintune to…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA RC51Nick, 4/21/2024 at 6:37 PM Question for those who have installed the new header on their 6th gen. How do you handle the heatshield attached to the R/S rearset. Did you remove the shield with those hard to get nuts…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! Iridium plugs in a 5th Gen? Oh boy!
- Brake Pedal Height? toreckman, 3/18/2023 at 7:56 AM Do you have a link or name of that delinking kit? HEL make a kit.
- Rear Master Cylinders: CBR600F4i vs VFR800Fi1- Delinked Brake System Nearly all the Honda sporty bikes of that era used the same size master. That’s the one you need, as mentioned in the other thread you commented in.
- Gen 5 Stator Options 10 hours ago, VicSev93 Hey! you think if I buy a new ricks stator and send it over there, they will rewrite it? I say this, casue I rather send in a new one, and ride out the one I have now, without going in there too…
- Gen 5 Stator Options 3 hours ago, mello dude Hey @ducnut, didn't you recently live around Chicago ? I’ve lived outside Springfield most all my life. I left for FL, late 2020. I just moved back to Springfield, in the last week.
- Gen 5 Stator Options 21 minutes ago, ShipFixer Someone could probably authoritatively answer this, but I think an 03+ 6th gen stator and flywheel would go on a 5th gen? Mentioning because I just bought a new Honda 03+ stator and a used eBay…
- Gen 5 Stator Options Southern Rewinding have a great reputation and is probably the way to go. I can’t say there’s any aftermarket stator I’d trust, at this point. Everything is offshore garbage, made for a brand or rebranded to be a brand.…
- Vtec Shock Options Race Tech sell the Schrader valve to recharge an OEM shock. Most common spring rates I’ve seen are over 1000#. My Penske has a 1300# spring and is perfect for my fluctuating 200-220 pounds. You’re going to need to alter…
- DAM, The MBD Strikes Again If you’re in the states and are particular about your bearings, Dubya USA stocks Japanese bearings that are supplied by a Japanese bearing importer across the street from them.
- Any luck with Slip-on imports to California? I used to perform the retail transactions for the first USA-based, Scorpion importer, which was 20+yrs ago. They would defer the customer to me, I’d run their CC, then, the importer would drop-ship to the customer.…
- Led bulb conversion for my 1998 5th generation I bought the Beamtech “fanless” ones off Amazon, broke off the the lower tabs, and stuck ‘em in WITH the factory housing caps. They work perfect. I put them in my SV, as well. No problems there, either.
- MBD Strikes Again! @Skids I hope there was an upgraded R/R somewhere in there? 😉
- The version 3 optimization build Yep. Tyga is all quality stuff.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 3 hours ago, VFR78 Are they better than the Delkevic? What is the cost? How much extra tuning is needed to make them work well? Might be interested! All you need to look at is the merge collector and how the cylinder…
- New member from the Philippines! 5 hours ago, VFR800P I guess San Policarpio is in Samar Region? Definitely cheaper for a day to day cost compared to the states. I’m not up on the regions/provinces.
- New member from the Philippines! 2 hours ago, bmart Looks like a former police bike, perhaps? Keep us in the loop! As indicated by the “P” and RC49. GF is from San Policarpio. Still has a waterfront home on the beach, over there. I’ve never been, but,…
- Rear Brake Rotor You can order directly from Galfer.
- Rear Wheel Stand for 5th Gen Pit Bull is the standard to which all others are judged. They’re designed and manufactured by an aerospace dude, which is why they’re such high quality.
- Michelin tire price hike! You guys must’ve bought ‘em all.
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 For those who’ve never been to the area, this is from an overlook on the Cherohala Parkway. This region of the USA is spectacular. IMG_6133.MOV
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 16 hours ago, Cogswell Looks as though VFRs attending may have been in the minority, yes? That says a lot for the forum. To be fair, those pics aren’t of the whole crowd. Some people came for the first couple days, some…
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 I’ve made it. Sounds like Microtel have been pretty busy, so later afternoon check-in.
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 I’m bringing my No-Mar setup, just in case someone has tire issues. Plus, 3 bikes. 😬
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 Shooting for the 17th. Coming from SWFL, so may end up being the 18th.
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 7 hours ago, Dutchy I see by the expression on your face they still offer this 'fantastic' free breakfast? :tongue: Good thing Huddle House is across the street!
- 1200F Dust Cover - recommendations? I’m big on factory accessory covers. If Honda offered one, I’d get the part number and do some searching. Also, Tyga have some cool, stretchy ones. Not sure if they offer one for that big of bike, but, what I’ve seen…
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 Well, I’d be lined up for a Tiger 660, if they came with electronic cruise control. I’ve ridden most of Triumph’s lineup and I thoroughly enjoyed the Trident. I just need a more accommodating cockpit and passenger perch…
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 Reservation made for the 18th thru 23rd. I’m leaving the 17th, from ~700mi away, and have to come through ATL, so not counting to arrive the 17th. I’m bringing my Tiger 800XCx, as well, and have a buddy coming in from…
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 I put in for the 17th-25th. No one else has requested any time off in all of May, so it should get approved. I told my immediate supervisor, if it didn’t get approved, don’t count on me to show up for those dates to…
- Has anyone done a SH847 voltage regulator on a 3rd gen. 2 hours ago, Cogswell How do you keep it so clean? I have a hugger and that area on my bike still gets cruddy with road tar, dirt, etc. This pic was upon initial assembly of the bike. However, I’m pretty diligent with…
- Has anyone done a SH847 voltage regulator on a 3rd gen. Weatherpack connectors and SH847 are definitely resistant to moisture. Mine has been under here for 4yrs.
- MBD Strikes Again! I love my blue dash lights. I did white gauge faces, too
- Has anyone done a SH847 voltage regulator on a 3rd gen. I can’t help you with a 3rd Gen, specifically. However, on my SV, I just stuck it under the seat, as I couldn’t find another place where it wasn’t noticeable. On my 5th Gen, it’s mounted to the underside of the rear…
- 1998 to 2000 conversion 20-25mm F&R, depending on stiction. I did a quick check, when newly assembled, but, I’ve not bothered to check it since. Might be a bit more, now.
- 1998 to 2000 conversion 1 hour ago, raYzerman ducnut, a 1300 lb. spring? You sure? Must ride like a rock..... a 200 lb. guy only needs an 850, or 900 at the most....... sometimes there's a number stamped on the spring, and it can be decoded,…
- 1998 to 2000 conversion For reference, I’m on 1.05kg springs in the front and a 1300lb spring in the rear. The front has Traxxion Dynamics Axxion valves (simple setup) and the rear is a Penske 8983. Martin Musil, at Traxxion, has done all my…
- 1998 to 2000 conversion Unless the springs have been changed, I can’t believe they’re of the correct rate. Both ends are massively undersprung, stock.
- Ride to Multnomah falls Along the RE is this SWM I really like. Unfortunately, it’s not available in the states.
- This is what happens... Tapered head bearings are definitely smooth as butter. It’s one of those little things one wouldn’t think they’d notice, until they have them.
- This is what happens... If you guys want Japanese bearings, contact Cole at Dubya USA. He has most wheel bearings on the shelf. They buy from a bearing importer that’s right close to them, in Orange, California. I’d think that importer would…
- This is what happens... 1 hour ago, Wald These are Continental Motion, a budget ST tire. It came with the bike, so I gave it a shot. Surprisingly, it sticks really well and warms up quick, even in 40 deg F weather. One really good property is,…
- Windshield extension question. Just a cheap, eBay piece. I tried one on my 5th Gen.
- 1998 to 2000 conversion 1 hour ago, raYzerman Those rear shock spring rates recommended by Penske and RaceTech are plain crazy, way too harsh. For a 200 lb rider, shouldn't be more than 900. RaceTech gave me a shock for my FJR, a heavier bike,…
- 1998 to 2000 conversion Yep, on the weight.
