Last 50 of 101- 2024 XSR 900 GP The upper on the 500 is the same part, but suits that bike better. The FZ600 upper will help with the visual balance. ...and thanks! It makes me smile every time I look at it.
- 2024 XSR 900 GP The XSR looked good in the yellow/black that Yamaha sold it in, but that one at the top is trying too hard to be something it is not. I don't dislike it, but I prefer to update the '80s Yamahas than retro the new ones.…
- Wheel bearing, done after a few thousand miles Keep in mind that the bearings are designed so that the spacers locate everything in the correct place when you tighten the axle down. That's why you tighten the bolt on the right end of the axle first and then the…
- I am going to shut down vfrd soon Gutted to hear that, but at the same time I've been on here for 3 years and not really seen you on here so it's understandable from the effort vs benefit side. Thank you immensely for the effort you made to keep this…
- Vfr800fiy stuttering 3.5k Hawky, 4/10/2023 at 10:29 AM I’ve been riding for 46 years had over 50 motorcycles Best part of this post! Hopefully you didn't crash too many of them. We did our honeymoon in Wales, would love to spend time there on a…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! bmart, 3/7/2023 at 7:54 AM You're not wrong! The bug I joke about is that everyone wants to be called one, but no one wants to be one. That generation is dying out and what we're replacing it with are people who read…
- Fuel Pump Removal Struggle Bus I bought all the parts to redo mine but haven't tackled it yet. I really resented giving Honda $12 for a pot scrubber in a Honda bag. I got a new filter from them as well, the filter listed for '98 and '99 was NLA…
- Hey D, so what's been happening with you? I had a bout of TLDR and scrolled to the pictures, said Jesus H F@$%ing Christ loud enough to raise my wife a floor above me, and then backed up for a full read. Amazing story, and so glad your wife woke up. I think you…
- 5th Gen Starter Motor Compatibility Yeah, it could be down to something as simple as they changed the plating spec for the steel body to address an issue on the first year that changed the part number, but usually they supercede part numbers if the new…
- 5th Gen Starter Motor Compatibility I'm curious if anyone has fitted a later starter motor to a '98 5th gen. Honda lists a separate part number for the '98 than '99-'09, but they look identical and all internal parts have the same number. The '98 is NLA…
- 1998 to 2000 conversion On the topic of bars, I went with Apex on my RZ350 when I put R6 forks on it. They were okay but I had issues with their tolerances on a number of details. A bit later I ordered some replacement bars and they were not…
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please They are on the fiche actually, they have their own page; https://www.ronayers.com/oemparts/a/hon/506c2ae4f870023420a30efd/proportioning-valve The fact that they show a price suggests they are still available,…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! Will do, SP1 subframe is modified and on the bike and I'm picking the plastics up from a friend who's painting the trunk lid to match the tail this weekend. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, main tasks…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! If you squint the last 2 look the most natural (least unnatural?). I think the newer tank throws off the vibe a bit, but clever use of paint could offset that. I get what you are trying to do as I've gone down a similar…
- New member (sort of) from Ontario Canada Yeah, that was me. I bought the VFR while the RZ was apart, I really need to get back to it. Don't ever get rid of the NS, you'll never find another like that one.
- New member (sort of) from Ontario Canada 5 hours ago, StrayCat2 LOL Wow, are you talking about the Red VF1000R from down in Etobicoke ? if so he actually sold me both of those VR1000R's I also bought 2 from a fellow in Barrie, the frame from one of the Barrie…
- New member (sort of) from Ontario Canada Small world when someone you've never met posts a picture of their garage and you know who it is without looking at their name.😀 I guess with that many bikes the odds are fairly high. One of my friends sold you the…
- LED headlights Someone upgrading their headlights with the primary concern of not blinding oncoming traffic, unbelievable! Kudos to you Danno. That HID conversion is slick.
- Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got Honda have a display of current products in the lobby of their corporate headquarters in Aoyama that is open to the public. Fortunately we arrived 15 minutes before closing (glass half full point of view, 15 minutes…
- Frankenbolt / Frankenstein bolt Here they are side by side, 5th gen part on the right. The 'shoulder' on the RC51 part is the sleeve that goes through the spacer to stop you from crushing it and the panel. The bare bolt looks like the one JZH posted…
- Frankenbolt / Frankenstein bolt Yes, the RC51 bolts are meant to install with the bolt, collar and spacer. I think the intent of the plastic spacer is to move the 'hook' of whatever you attach to it away from the paint. and the sleeve gives it…
- Frankenbolt / Frankenstein bolt The CBR900 parts you post are above are the same Honda part used on the RC51, which I recently purchased for an RC51 tail swap I am doing on my 5th Gen. In $CAD the retail price from Honda was Bolt $12, Spacer $5,…
- Upgrades I had the same reaction when I saw this some time ago. Those are Harris Rearsets, which they don't make anymore. Seb also produced some nice looking adapters but has said he is too busy to produce more at this time, I…
- Another Tank Protector thread? Ditto for Techspec, just installed one and it was exactly what I was after. The bike came with one of those multi faceted spine style ones and all the edges had accumulated grit. It took a motherload of polish and…
- beware of new spammer Time for the spammer ban hammer 💩🤡🔨
- 1990 Fairing Repair I googled 'Honda style Dzus receptacle' and found this; https://www.ebay.com/itm/191959936702 [image: $_12.JPG] Based on eBay pics of used panels it is more or less exactly what you need. The studs and plastic retainer…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Thanks for that find! I ordered mine and seven came in 🤬. The last one is backordered until late July. I'll order one in the morning.
- So I might have done a thing...... Nice pic. The RC51 is one of my all time iconic motorcycles.
- 5G vs 6G water pump It could be down to something as minor as a different bearing or seal material, thicker cover O-ring etc. I am surprised though that the NLA 5th gen number doesn't supersede to the 6th gen number. Not sure about Honda,…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years I love that bike, best iteration of that model. During my formative years it was an RZ350 (which I have), one of those, or a GPZ550. If you were exceptional you could have aspired to an RZ500 or 500 Gamma, both sadly…
- Motorized “pedestrians” I've discussed this with people who ride bicycles on the sidewalk (as a cyclist who does not) and suggested that even though they are supposed to follow the rules of the road and stay on the road things would be much…
- Hi Everyone Bravo, nicely done! My impressionable years were during the heyday of tobacco sponsorship in motorsports. I see it as symbolic of an era, rather than advertising a controversial product. I've never been a smoker, but my…
- Hi Everyone If an opening post ever cried out for pictures... Welcome!
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder Awesome that you got this fixed, it was starting to sound like a real nightmare. As HighSideNZ said, do it once and do it right. I hate HeliCoils more for the opportunity they provide for misuse, and also prefer…
- Double Side Swingarm I'm a single sider fan (if it wasn't obvious) but damn, that's an awesome looking bike, and would likely look even more so minus the sponsor decals (as a road bike). Thanks for the Extreme Creations link, I was happy…
- Double Side Swingarm Maybe swap in the inline 4 engine while you are at it, then it would be just like theirs. :ohmy: Don't take me too seriously, it's your bike, do what you want with it, but the VFR's 2 most iconic features are the V4 and…
- Leovince Exhuast Hmmmm, on Leo Vince's website maybe? https://www.leovince.com/en-ca/line/leovince-factory-s-titanium Not identical, but family resemblance is there. Maybe they could fill in the blanks.
- Hello 50 minutes ago, Cogswell I wonder if that hugger would fit a 6th gen . . . Any detail on your suspension upgrades? She's a nice looking machine. :fing02: Interested in the hugger too, it looks like the one Pyramid do…
- Have you ever seen two uglier VFR's in the same pic? Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Motorcycles. Good for you for being involved in the rescue.
- A Dangeruss VFR Tale 1 hour ago, VFRXX I was too busy riding The most important part! Thanks for the tips! Mohawk, thanks for that link, just what I needed. I was also thinking of using the standard RC51 reservoir, but since I'm going to…
- Lowered Peg Questions - Brake Pedal Clearance I used the BLS blocks on my 5th gen and had to shorten the brake rod and clearance the back of the block a bit for the pedal, but they were well made and definitely helped my comfort. Another tip that might interest you…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 1 hour ago, vfrcapn Can't you just bolt up an entire VTR front end? Uses same bearings I think? Oh look.... :) Yeah, I looked at that and was wondering if you still have it. I will PM you shortly.
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? I wasn't aware of the wider fork spacing, so thanks for that one. I've got a brand new CBR1000 (not sure year) rear MC that I bought for another project and never used but I think it's ⅝" (16mm) so it might be a bit…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? I have been contemplating a front end swap on my 5th gen. I have previously swapped late model R6 inverted forks onto my RZ350 and love it but don't fancy getting in that deep on the VFR this year as I have enough…
- A Dangeruss VFR Tale Ha, thanks for the reminder, I have a couple of those in the cupboard, just like that one.
- A Dangeruss VFR Tale Yeah, the more I think about it that is the more professional approach. I'll build a jig so I can do one leg at a time and end up with it in the right place.
- A Dangeruss VFR Tale 24 minutes ago, mello dude The tail looks great! :beer: Could you show the bracketry you used? Thanks! Right now it's just a bunch of strips of aluminum flat bar, plenty sturdy enough to sit on, but meant to acquire…
- A Dangeruss VFR Tale Sooo, the snow is melting and it's warmer in the garage so I started playing; [image: large.RC46SP.jpeg.9809aefefb67efd714d37cc084fdf9cd.jpeg] I've lost about 25 lbs in the past couple of months so I thought the bike…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! Good info! Interesting comparison, I just ordered one of these on Ebay the other day for the same reason. I would have bought Sebs 5th gen mounts but he's not making them at the moment so I gave this a look. In your…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! I would hazard a wild ass guess that the scribed number on the heads relate to a height tolerance on the cam journals. Perhaps the cam gears are toleranced as sets and selected based on those numbers to get optimum…
