- vibration-proof grips Have you tried to reduce the vibrations at source? I could do 400 mile days on Scottish country roads on my Y2K 800. 1. Balance the throttle bodies. 2. Check tyre / wheel balance front and rear. 3. Check chain &…
- What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? I had Givi kit on my 800FiY and took record pix of it in various combinations on the WingRack (a Mk1). The set of five is in my gallery: - Here's a couple more giving three-quarter views of the E21s. Slightly larger and…

- Sandblast Exhaust? I can report on my UK experience with a 750FR used for commuting daily for 10 months of the year, 8,000+ miles p.a.. The collectors were shot-blasted and painted with VHT paint and cured as per the instructions in March…

- Color Scheme For A Vfr 750 Rc36 If you like simple and factory, but different, why not the UK/Europe standard green from 1993:- [image: honda_vfr_750_f_1993_1_lgw.jpg] Removing the silver underbelly gives: [image: vfr750-fp-487x380.jpg] Decal details…
- Rc36 Caliper Overhaul I suggest your step 21 is wrong. Copper grease and most other greases make rubber expand and the sliding pins operate inside a rubber tube (the boots replaced in step 18). Expansion of the rubber will jam the sliding…
- Lower Fairing Decals, Y2K I'm not sure about those decals--ROW bikes had decals that said "PGM-FI & Dual CBS", rather than "Interceptor" below the "VFR".... Here's my departed Y2K UK model green 'un with those decals (and the extra HECS3 item…
- What's The Hottest 5Th Generation Can? Post Your Pics.... MaxSwell Fabulous work of art. Is that color BRG? How do you Scotts feel about that. (I just watched Brave Heart.) The green is too dark for BRG, and is metallic. Looks great in direct sunlight. Honda calls it G161…

- 4Th Gen Exhaust Pics Are these any good? They are the closest to your request that I have. There are several more. I refurbished my '95 FR exhaust in 2005. It had a centre stand as in the pix. Two years later the tail of the collector…
- Mig Exhaust Concept Definitely out of business (in France) some long time ago. My 4th gen. 1995 FR was originally French and came into the UK with a MIG can. It fitted neatly under the tail and I could swap to the OE can and fit a Wingrack…

- Why are passenger handles such a b!#@h to find? Could you elaborate? I was about to order the Givi rack thinking that it would replace the handles anyway... or is this only applicable to the Honda bags?... The GiVi monorack for the 56th Gen has side handles built in…

- 5th Gen Staintune High and GIVI WingRack Here are some pix of my installation of a Remus high mount can with a Givi WingRack #1. The top supports are spaced out by about 1" using chromed towel rack tube over longer bolts, cut to size based on experiment using…
- De-Dumboed Looking for Billet Marker Lights Why not just paint the back end of the indicator plastic to match the fairing? You can see the extent of the reflector inside - just follow its edge with the masking tape. My gallery shows the overall effect of this in…

- 5th gen top mount with corbin side bags? do you have a part number for that rack? thats what I want.... Don't get that one. Get the standard Monorack as mine. Givi changed/withdrew the design because it is inherently weak as it cantilevers off the back of the…
- 5th gen top mount with corbin side bags? I use a Givi bracket on mine. I think it is the older style though. It's my understanding the newer ones go down and attaches to the Frankenbolts as well as the grab handle mounts.. Indeed. I have today completed…
