All 41- Coefficient of Drag number??? 17 hours ago, Mohawk IIRC Honda released Cd figures for the 5th gen, because it was much better than the 4th gen. 6th gen was a step backwards in Cd I believe. From what I remember from aerodynamics study, the frontal…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? 15 hours ago, ShipFixer I'll just throw in my that it's probably worthless and for sure not close enough to calculate a meaningful Cd. It's going to tell you a calculated power from what it thinks is happening and what…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? "The average passenger car on the road today has a drag coefficient (the measure of air resistance) of about 0.3 (a lower number being better). Even a large, blocky car like a full size SUV or my ’87 Westfalia camper…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? 12 hours ago, Magneto Assumption. Just make reasonable one. Some base numbers here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/drag-coefficient-d_627.html [image:…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? 12 hours ago, Magneto Assumption. Just make reasonable one. Some base numbers here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/drag-coefficient-d_627.html thanks I'll check it out.
- Coefficient of Drag number??? 12 hours ago, DannoXYZ You can also work backwards using known variables. 1. top-speed of bike+rider 2. bhp @ RPM of top-speed 3. cross-sectional area of bike+rider. Can be obtained from photo 4. air-density @ time of…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? I have been wondering what the CoD numbers might be for a 6th Gen? I wonder if honda ever published this data? Of course rider and rider position must have a large effect. I would love to get some rudimentary numbers so…

- Bike is Reluctant to Turn Not likely but if you go up a profile this can have a big effect on the amount of counter-steer effort required to hold a line also won't want to drop in as fast or as easily. A rounder profile may also give the same…
- cam regrind 6th Gen Cogswell, 9/18/2020 at 3:49 AM The same here, except that people have taken to wearing masks and mostly ignoring the lockdown, and we have government that openly promotes the daily riots and assaults we've been having…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 6 hours ago, Duc2V4 Yes. Myself and sfdownhill are the two main members involved with this project, so if the thread was created by either of us, then it could be considered as "official". Although there are a few other…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 hours ago, sfdownhill We don’t see ponying up for extra sets of headers as a feasible option. We’re checking to see if the tube-bending guy might get started on our current order if he gets paid for bending 15 sets,…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 14 hours ago, sfdownhill We proposed to Wade that we’d consider paying his mandrel tube-bending subcontractor the total amount for bending his minimum order of 15 sets even though we’d only be purchasing 10 sets. Thanks…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA any updates? getting closer to next run?
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA BiKenG If you're referring to Mohawk's bike, then that would be wrong-ish. Their profile is not stock at all (based on RC45), but I seem to recall he had stock cams reground rather than completely new manufactured…
- cam regrind 6th Gen DannoXYZ Elgin Cams (Dema) , can custom-grind any profile you want. Just need to send them some cores to start. I suppose it's possible to make high-RPM profile even more aggressive. Some very good tutorials about cams…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA jim v This thread takes so many twists and turns, never know where the conversation will be when I check back in [image: emoji846.png] First of all thanks for the answers up thread. -As others have said, the…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Mohawk So HighsideNZ has a 5th gen engine in 6th gen frame, with a 74mm bigbore & all of my mods for 140hp. I have a lightweight 5th gen circa 205Kg wet, with 120hp. I'd like to do more to it, but time & money always…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 8 minutes ago, BiKenG Yes I get the customise thing, as Mohawk will testify, I'm not a standard bike kinda guy either. But trying to extract huge power increases, to me means I started with the wrong bike. Particularly…

- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 16 minutes ago, BiKenG Doesn't have to be anything like a pig. My eVo4 's plenty nimble and fast enough. Just ask Mohawk. 😀 sorry, I'm talking out my ass....I have not ridden one. just looked at the specs. and also the…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 minute ago, BiKenG Mohawk is not at 140. More like 120 something, I forget exactly what. I've ridden with him and it's a nice quick bike. I still wonder though at trying to make a bike go faster. Seems a bit of a…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA sfdownhill, 9/15/2020 at 1:26 AM Great questions all, but somewhere in there, some combination of my knowledge, experience and authority has been exceeded - lol - I have a heavy underpowered 5 gen with Power Commander!…

- cam regrind 6th Gen boOZZIE A good tuning shop may be able to adjust the degree of cams. I looked into this and dyno time a while ago but haven't done anything about it. ...Yet.... Probably not a great deal to be gained i Would assume? you…
- Single Nut Rear Axle Conversion - 6Th Gen vfrcapn I put the tire on already, I can weight both and start a new thread. With the Aussie convert kit it's just mechanical bolt on of bits, nothing too technical. This is a 6" Duc wheel, so a 190 tire. Contact…
- cam regrind 6th Gen Skids Just supercharge it! [image: :wheel:] [image: emoji481.png] Seriously been toying with this.....we'll see. Sent from my ASUS_I01WD using Tapatalk
- cam regrind 6th Gen Cogswell, 9/17/2020 at 5:53 AM The only cam regrind I know of was on a 5th gen - but it included some serious other mods to match the cams - out of the skillset of most of us. The other possibility is a Rapid Bike - for…
- cam regrind 6th Gen Anybody at all ever seen a cam regrind done on the VTEC engine? I get that its a little bit more specialized but I have search high and low and not even a mention any where on the interballs. maybe there is not much to…

- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 19 hours ago, sfdownhill Duc2V4 has Rapid Bike (RB) with autotune on both his 5 gen with the WiLD headers and his 6 gen w 98/99 catless headers - he is so pleased with the RB autotune performance on both bikes that he…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA (6th gen): has anybody done any tuning with the rapid bike race and these headers? I'm sure there must some dyno results but I can't seem to find anything. I guess my question is what sort of results are being obtained…
- Single Nut Rear Axle Conversion - 6Th Gen Stray There’s a great thread on here about fitting the Ducati hub and wheel to a VFR. Well worth reading. Swap looks fantastic when complete and saves a bunch of weight! do you recon that particular wheel would look…
