All 26- Steve Rapp’s VF1000R and 8th Gen VFR800 Do you think that Cyrcee would allow you to post some more pictures ???
- My 86 VFR750F Nice-looking work !
- Recommend Me a Rotating 360° Stand I bought the Abba Superbike Package 3. For the high price, I expected a lot more. There is a coarse thread bolt that holds the vertical bit to the rolling stand; my bolt was mis-located by almost 1/2 the bolt dia. Of…
- Fewer used VFR's for sale? I think that you BEST bet is to contact Joe (V4dreams.com). He is constantly finding and refurbishing the breed. If you want a showpiece or just a mechanically sound VFR, I'd call HIM. Brian
- VFR 2003 Exhaust Pipes - Stainless or not? Those are some nicely-wrapped pipes ! What is the wrapping material, please? Is it adhesive-backed or how is it retained in-position? Brian
- Headlight upgrade suggestion for VFR750F Am I understanding the last bit of this thread correctly? Are you saying that it is possible to run the projector lights WITHOUT the usual shiny, parabolic reflector ? That would seem to save quite a bit of weight (my…
- Rescuing a '91 VFR750F Lookin' GOOD !!
- Rescuing a '91 VFR750F Great story; keep up the hard work to get this one back on the road ! Dazed, please elaborate (copy link?) to what you refer on the "electrolysis videos" and how do they apply to rusty tanks? Thanks. Brian
- MotoGP is Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Ah, a man with taste !! Laphroaig is my favorite Scotch, too. Brian
- I wondered where the cool VFR-wear was Those are nice shirts. Too bad about the customer service. Please update if the situation improves. Brian
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build Great project, thanks for posting. I just got my Airtech-Streamlining RVF750 fairings on Monday, so I am just starting the adventure. Thinking of using dome head Dzus fasteners; what are you using for fairing fasteners?…
- Carb to efi conversion Thanks for that info, Greg. I concur with the superior 'tweakability' of the EFI setup. For an E-85 conversion, the EFI/timing looks very desirable. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for those carbs (agree the '97…
- Tyga My pipes arrived in the mail yesterday, approx. 10 days after ordering. I'll unpack 'em this weekend..... can't wait. Brian
- No WSBK in 2020 I heard that COTA (in my backyard) is getting re-paved. It is a great track. Brian
- 87 off idle hiccup Captain, would you point me towards a Keihin carburetor jet source, please? Brian
- Tyga Please fire off a flare when this beautiful left-side exhaust is avail for 4th Gen ! I want one...... maybe two. Brian
- Issues with my first gen Measure the o-rings and just buy them from McMaster Carr or a local o-ring shop. I choose Viton when possible to resist alcohol corrosion.
- The Crash I know how you broke the scaphoid bone !! It is so difficult to learn to fall with a closed fist. Get well soon ! Brian
- 86 VFR750/700 engine cover "sand cast" paint match? Check with Joe at V4Dreams.com. He is a wizard at restoration. Brian
- 86 VFR Questions Interesting; maybe more pictures from other angles? The swingarm looks to have some non-stock bracing. The clutch reservoir is not stock. The windscreen doesn't look stock. Great-looking fairings and solo seat. Assume…
- Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) Well Ken, I believe that you are very much mistaken then. Nope, I definitely mean "ethanol" (aka 'ethyl alcohol'). Methanol is a bit too poisonous for me, plus, I can distill my own fuel (eventually). Yes, less caloric…
- Faux 45 (RC 45 STREET Bike Replica) Ken, I, too, have the urge to make a faux RC45 from my '97. Focusing on the graphics; got any leads on vinyl graphics? I'm leaning towards Beasley Composites for the fairings. Thanks for the Mohawk camshaft lead; I'm…
- NEW Hindle full system exhausts to be available for the 86/87 VFR!!! Excellent !! My '86 has been silent for 20 years, but I do remember its distinctive voice. I don't know why, but the '97 doesn't speak with the same accent. Yet. Does Hindle make a left side exhaust for the 4th Gen?…
- New fairings, not sure of year Hope it is okay to post as a 3rd party, but saw this ad for (looks like) late-model VFR fairings. Rear seat cowl also shown. Looks really complete for the price. I saw this ad posted 3-4 months ago, too, so the seller…
- RC36.2 (4th Gen) Fuel Injection discussion Fastdruid, I'm curious about your special note of E85. Have you run such? If so, I realize this is a carburetion discussion, but did you make any other optimization changes (higher compression/boost)? VERY interesting…
- 4th gen Carb Vacuum Pistons Group Buy I would like 2 sets, please. Anyone got an electronic manual for these Keihin carburetors that discusses jet sizes etc.? I have the '96 shop manual. Any idea if these diaphragms are the same size as used in the '86 750?…
