All 31- Plastic Weld Or Epoxy ... The little bit of plastic welding I've done I smear on a good layer of ABS glue (from your local plumbing dept.) just to give piece of mind. That stuff holds forever, actually I have more confidence in it than my…
- TEENAGE TEXTER takes out me, my RC36, a Mustang Cobra and his Dad's BMW in a head-on crash Glad to hear you're okay after this terrible situation. We just layed to rest a good friend and fellow rider after hitting a semi head on in a nissan frontier while he was texting. If only he would have rode the bike…
- VFR1200 vs Ducati Streetfighter vid [image: View Post]CrazyT, on 10 May 2011 - 08:51 PM, said: Bike sounds great, what type of exhaust? Glad I don't live in Minnesota if you have to edit between curves like that... I wish for curves like that here in…
- Throttle Cables I'm not going to be a lot of help, but I do know that our local Honda shop/dealer can make cables for fit nearly all bikes, they have tons of different ends they can put on (guessing about 15). You might check with your…
- Shorai Lithium Battery Tightwad hawglet What are the reprucutions of these new tech batties on a reg/rect. that already has problems? In simple terms, if I understand correctly, the reg/rect. burns the extra juice off in form of heat among…

- Creative, Hilarious Helmets Several years ago I found a design that I really wanted to get painted for my Dad who has been in plumbing for about the last 30yrs. It looked from the back as though someone had plumbers crack. I copied it to my hard…
- new enough First come, first served. I don't really need anything that I can think of right now thus..... It's up for grabs. Only good through the 27th of Dec. 10% off link Once you've used it please post that you've done so…
- Anybody know where this is Hondalover, yes that is the very one Red Runner, no I'm not dead set on making my own but Corbin wants way way too much in my feeling for them. If you'ld like to get rid of the one you have I may be interested. PM me.…
- Anybody know where this is Long ago, probably several years now somebody (chris****) did a write up of how to make a rear backrest for a corbin seat (gunf. & lady model). Does anyone have this bookmarked by chance? I tried googling it useing VFRD…
- Exhaust Wraps Fitted I thought a lot about doing this exact thing simply to keep heat down a bit. After talking to several Harley guys around town and reading online I decided against it in part due to corrosion and I was told that if you…
- Hossackviffer Mkii Not really sure how I've missed this for the last nearly year. Amazing work, I'm with it now. Keep on a rollin'

- Repaint complete I did think hard about continuing the white stripe through the tank but I figured the my line would look slightly off center or slight out of symetrical so I nixxed the idea. Plus i've nearly always have a tank bag on…
- Repaint complete I'll see about getting some better pictures taken and posted as soon as I get it back running. Still need to spend some time with it but it's just too hot in the garage right now!!!
- Repaint complete [image: Attached Image: DSCN1163.JPG] Not quite full frontal. [image: Attached Image: DSCN1164.JPG] All of the white bits will be getting black outline of tape around them, however, my top 3 coats of clear are very…
- My Shinko Experiment I put Shinkos on my old Kawy years ago and never had any problems with them although a buddy rode it one time and got the to slip, this guy can ride like hell though and will push his limits just slightly. I'm probably…

- 86 vfr 700 sidecar wheelchair motorcycle vid Congratulations on the progress made. I'll definitely be keeping tabs on this post, very interesting with some strong ingenuity all to solve a major personal difficulty. There is a guy around my part of the world with a…
- Rear Cowl Modification (solo seat) I've done the mod and will try to remember to get pics up for you, right now I don't have any and the bike is burried behind other projects. I'll see what I can do in the next couple of weeks to get some of them…
- Found on the Intardwebz fugly but you've got to give the painter a little respect for their talents, although they shouldn't have ever done such a thing to such a bike. to each their own
- external tire plugging I put an external plug into a tire about 2 tires ago I also rode on said tire for about 1500+ something miles but never took to the highway if I didn't absolutely have to. The only reason I did it was because I got a…
- Am I Crazy? top secret 7th gen. VFR maybe?
- You Pick My Next Mod! why not just go balls deep and get into it. Get it all done, it's cold crappy weather anyway (for many of us).... Anyway, all of it!
- Powder Coat My Swing Arm Black You actually can't tell from the pic if they're powdered or painted, good powder and application looks identical although powder will hold up better to dings and chips as well as many chemicals. It's generally a little…

- Unchain My Bike... Or So I Thought... Is there a problem with simply adding a roller idler pulley, or is this a preference to try to not run one.............. http://www.vfrdiscus...tyle_emoticons/default/+1.gif I think he's just stuck on where to put one…
- Installing Radar's Custom Sliders - Black Bases Anyone tried PVC pipe glue? It melts plastics together much like model glues do. It may very well work and nearly all hardware stores have a small bottle in the plumbing area for just a couple of bucks. Just a thought.
- Molding A Different Tail Light Section My oh My!!! I can't even wait to see this. I've thought about it a bit from time to time but never "really" considered it. I've always thought anything would be better looking than the 2nd moon phase of a tail…
- Rear Hugger - Harris vs. Powerbronze Anyone know who is selling Harris products in the states now? I guess EMA is done importing them now as someone else has started.... They told me that the new company will be able to get the Hugger but couldn't say who…
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 I'm very fond of my Maxxis SuperMaxx rubbers but they weren't an option in the poll, they will keep up with Pilot Roads through corners. The pilot roads were on an Aprilla, R1, Gixxer 1k, yzf600, and a zx10R. I was very…
