Last 50 of 57- Dr. Ergal's G5 DrErgal, 1/14/2025 at 1:13 AM I took the occasion of the Chistmas days off to finally implement my plan to get my VFR as adherent as possible to my personal idea of VFR Let's start with the main thing: I'm definitely in…
- Dr. Ergal's G5 I de-linked my brakes. I had a bit of anxiety doing it, because, for me, they did work quite well. But they weren't going to work with my DMr Suspension upgrade. And the complexity and weight... They had to go.
- Best Bracket for SH847 34 minutes ago, mello dude Never made any... whatever dude... Aight, dude. I think I've decided to just drill and tap the subframe anyway...dude.
- Best Bracket for SH847 15 minutes ago, mello dude Dude, I never made 5th gen brackets. Oh, then how do you account for this post... And I quote: "- I have a 5th gen design if asked..." Bwahahaha... I gotcha! Edited January 7 by Ziffer To be…
- Best Bracket for SH847 Btw, the bike is now 25 years old, and I believe it's still running the (now malfunctioning, me thinks) original regulator/rectifier! No burnt wires or connectors, just not putting out a reliable voltage. Did the stator…
- Best Bracket for SH847 3 hours ago, Tirso This is what I did: 5th Gen Needs New Rec/Reg , Other examples on this thread. If I had to to it over, I'd use rivnuts . Other mounting examples from VFRW Good luck Ah, finally, someone with some…
- Best Bracket for SH847 6 hours ago, mello dude There's a thread somewhere here that shows the Roadster mount on a 5th gen, it needed some hacksaw work, but looked clean when done. Mbe a member can find it, post the link. Aw, I started this…
- Best Bracket for SH847 8 hours ago, Captain 80s My friend Angus MacGyver used chewing gum and a paper clip on his. Well that's just silly, everyone knows you don't have any friends.
- Best Bracket for SH847 8 hours ago, bmart I safety wired mine on years ago. Works fine. 🙂 I saw that. If I ever want to recreate the Sanford and Son truck, I'll look you up!
- Best Bracket for SH847 I just bought a Shindengen SH847. Still waiting to get it, but wanted to find out what people have done to mount it. I just figured I'd buy or build a bracket to mount it in the original location. Is that the "best"…
- Upper Cowl (Nose Fairing) Support/Stay Here's a late update on this... It turns out, looking through my VFR stuff for something entirely unrelated, I found another upper cowl stay. It's used. I don't know where it came from. I don't remember buying it, and I…
- Upper Cowl (Nose Fairing) Support/Stay 8 hours ago, Gaz66 Hi Ziffer. Bad the bikes damaged, good you're ok. Usually see a fair few used front upper cowl stays on eBay. (Cheap) Worth a punt if yours is too badly mangled. If you're having alignment issues, I'd…
- Upper Cowl (Nose Fairing) Support/Stay I crashed my 2000 VFR awhile back. In the crash, the upper cowl stay got bent. I now have a stock Honda upper cowl to replace my smashed one, but try as I may, I haven't been able to find a way to straighten the upper…
- He was a valued member, a great friend and I will miss him! SEBSPEED, 10/12/2023 at 10:50 AM I'm very sorry to hear of this tragic loss to you Darryl, and the VFR community. I am willing and able to make & engrave a commemorative plate/plaque for your header build Darryl. You…

- He was a valued member, a great friend and I will miss him! Oh, man... This is a gut punch, and I never met him. Condolences to all who knew him, and to his family. RIP Lance Was he riding his motorcycle when this accident happened? Is it possible (and appropriate) that we get…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA sfdownhill, 7/5/2023 at 11:37 PM Last Saturday we stopped by Wade's and gave him the deposits for 15 headers. 11 have been ordered by members here, and Duc2V4 will have 4 more sets for sale, so if anyone hears of…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 4 hours ago, Duc2V4 I did a few times but seems most folks on FB are looking at Delkevic or, dare I say it...Black Widow. Go figure? Hey now, I have a Black Widow can on my bike. Is it the BEST quality can? No. But it…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 4 hours ago, Duc2V4 4 orders short. SF and I are going to get together this weekend and figure out a plan. We really want to get this going already but have the small hurdle. We'll keep you all posted, please bear with…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 19 hours ago, Duc2V4 Yes but not all on the list have responded to my PMs. Hence my post here. I've heard in the past, some folks say they don't get PM notifications, so I figured I'd use the header thread, and another…

- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Users who have expressed interest on the last two pages of this thread (including myself): Ziffer Skids DivisibleRex CornPoweredV4 JZH vfrcapn RC51Nick jkboyd MikeOConner PearlBlueSoul SEBSPEED Oregonian Just need three…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA I did a count of just the people in this discussion on the last two pages, and we're up to 12 just from that. There should be another three around here somewhere.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Well, since no one else has done it, I think I will start the "Official VFRD Header List (round 2)." If you want to be on the list for a group-buy of VFRD Headers, please send your: 1. Name 2. VFRD Username 3. VFR Year…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA sfdownhill, 12/12/2021 at 9:53 PM Hi Cornpo. There is not a formal list for another round of headers, but don't write it off. There are about 5 people interested in headers, and that's taken 6-8 months to gather. The…
- Bent Front Wheel On October 10, 2019 , jkboyd said: On my 5th gen I went with Jamie's recommendation and used 6th gen fork tubes with F4i lowers. I really like the setup. [image: IMG_0616 (3).JPG] This is more what I'm trying to do. Now…
- Bent Front Wheel Terry, 10/12/2021 at 6:00 PM I put together: 6G triples and bars 5G ignition/steering lock CBR600F4i forks (uppers/lowers/innards) CBR600F4i guard 5G wheel, discs and axle CBR954 calipers CBR600RR master All fitted…
- Bent Front Wheel Tirso, 10/12/2021 at 5:56 PM Sounds like you're doing similar to Terry: Ah...that thread leads into a couple others. Plenty of reading to do. Thanks!
- Bent Front Wheel Okay, I guess I'll just have to go for it and find out for myself...
- Bent Front Wheel 2 hours ago, JZH You also need to consider the spacing between the forks/disks. And which front fender you're going to use. Ciao, JZH According to what I've read, the 5th gen, 6th gen, and f4 (not f4i) wheels and rotors…
- Bent Front Wheel So, I've been doing some studying...and I came up with this idea. I want to know if anyone has done this, and how it worked. I have a 5th gen. I'm thinking about using triple trees and tubes from a 6th gen, with lowers…
- Bent Front Wheel 16 hours ago, DannoXYZ 5 th gen has 41mm forks, chart left out 5th gen completely Yeah, I see, I misread that. Thought it included the 5th gen.
- Bent Front Wheel Terry, 8/26/2021 at 2:20 PM The simplest way to do that is to buy some VTR1000F Superhawk forks; use your VFR uppers and the VTR lowers and innards, that adds adjustable rebound damping and allows use of the Honda…
- Bent Front Wheel gig, 8/28/2021 at 2:38 AM I have a lighter weight newly black powder coated CBR F4I front wheel and rotors that was on my bike last year, that are plug and play if needed. Is this still available? All my local options…
- Bent Front Wheel DannoXYZ, 8/29/2021 at 8:30 AM yes, measurements are important. F4i brake-rotor spacing is closer than F4/F3 due to less offset on rotors themselves. At some point, they changed 62mm bolt-circle to 58mm. Ran into these…
- Bent Front Wheel 7 hours ago, gig I have a lighter weight newly black powder coated CBR F4I front wheel and rotors that was on my bike last year, that are plug and play if needed. What are the differences between the F4I and vfr800…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA So the run of 5th/6th gen VFRD headers were all the same, right? So any of that run will fit a 5th gen or a 6th gen, right? There weren't some built for 5th gens, and some tweaked for 6th gens, right? Trying to be sure…
- Bent Front Wheel Here's something I found on wemoto.com. Sounds like I'd prefer GG pads, but with bigger calipers/shoes. Of course, I'd have to try them to know: Brake Pad Frictional Formulation Brakes work on the crude principle of…
- Bent Front Wheel 9 hours ago, VFR750F3 I did the SP2 calipers with a 19 radial for my VFR800. Both my VFR800 and RC51 have the same calipers different master cylinders, The RC51 has a convential 17mm master cylinder works very well. The…
- Bent Front Wheel 18 hours ago, Terry Once you have the infrastructure in place, the suspension upgrade parts can be added later, although to change the damper components (eg Gold Valves) requires a complete disassembly of the fork.…
- Bent Front Wheel 18 hours ago, comradeQuestion 5th and 6th gens have 3 piston sliding calipers, but only 2 of them are actuated by the brake lever (middle is actuated by the rear linked system). With cbr600f4/929/954 calipers you get 4…
- Bent Front Wheel 1 hour ago, Terry The simplest way to do that is to buy some VTR1000F Superhawk forks; use your VFR uppers and the VTR lowers and innards, that adds adjustable rebound damping and allows use of the Honda 4-piston brakes…
- Bent Front Wheel 6 hours ago, Cogswell Front wheels from 1998 through 2009 (in the US) are the same, so one from any of those years will work. I bought a second set of wheels off Ebay (one at a time) and the front wheel I got had…
- Bent Front Wheel 9 minutes ago, squirrelman if the front end took a hit hard enough to bend the wheel, chances are that the steering head bearings are dented and need replacement. I think they've been replaced. The guy I bought the bike…
- Bent Front Wheel 1 hour ago, Cogswell Front wheels from 1998 through 2009 (in the US) are the same, so one from any of those years will work. Oh, thanks. I had been limiting myself to 5th gen wheels, cuz I didn't know. This might open…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 4 hours ago, sfdownhill The minimum order is 15. Actually there are a few others interested in the headers, so possibly 6 or 7 including DivisibleRex, but it’s not official that there is a list or another production run…
- Bent Front Wheel I got a great deal on my bike but...it had been wrecked. It was missing hardware and mirrors, and had cracked, broken, and missing plastics, etc. One of the things it had, and still has, is a bent front wheel. I've…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Well, that's three...only 17 more to go...*sigh* Ziffer, 8/23/2021 at 10:29 AM Oh, definitely put me on the list of interested parties. 22 hours ago, Duste Likewise, lock me in. 21 hours ago, flya750 Shit! I'd buy…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 1 hour ago, sfdownhill There’s not a waiting list at this time, but we’re keeping track of interested parties and if it the numbers keep increasing, there might be the possibility of another batch. Oh, definitely put me…
