Last 50 of 81- VFR frankenvifferized into an Adventure Bike? Basically you are wanting to convert your bike into a Cross Runner. Look at the thread about it. Suspension travel & ground clearance will limit the roughness of your routes. Need a decent bash plate to protect the…
- Hossackviffer Mkii The spring tubes are not on that Vincent. The springs were in long thin tubes behind the blades in your photo; you can see the 2 bolts where they mount at the bottom. The tops mount to the bobbin like thing just behind…
- Australian MCN reporting Honda V4 Dual Sport for 2012 The DS version of the 1200 VFR is definitely coming. Aimed directly at the BMW 1200 GS market. A friend of mine saw (by mistake) the artists impression of it at the Honda dealers last year. Yamaha have the 1200 Super…
- Tales Of Zumo My 550 packed up. The screen digitiser failed; if you touched the screen it kept getting the input after you lifted your finger. Had to wait an age for the false input to go away. I did a little Googling & found there…
- Hossackviffer Mkii Nice work Red. Tony Foale is much younger looking than I expected.
- Not another 5G undertail exhaust. This should make you lot smile. I have now downscaled to a single 200cc cylinder = 1/4 of a VFR. [image: Posted Image] Where I now go. I also do multi day solo trips on very deserted gravel roads in the boondocks. Mate…
- Not another 5G undertail exhaust. I wander if I could make something similar to that to fit under my streched fairing? I really like the clean look of his bike. Here would be the space I would have to work with. Do you think it would be possible to do…

- Hossackviffer Mkii That is a very old Vincent with ordinary girder forks. [image: Posted Image] I had a Vincent Comet like this. Those are 'Girdraulic' forks. The fork blade is a big aluminium forging with the springs in the narrow tube…

- Titanium Connecting Rods, Oh My! (update 12/01/12) Welcome to the club. Sorry to see what has happened but you sound fine now.
- Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... I have been to the UK VFR board in the past. My recollection is GreenVFR is the technical authority there. In other words that opinion is from someone who knows a lot about VFRs and has a special affection for them.
- A Visit To Wp Suspension. WSBK: Ten Kate Drop WP Suspension In Favour Of Ohlins Setup http://bikerholic.com/2009/06/26/wsbk-ten-...f-ohlins-setup/ I have WP suspension on my BMW Dakar - scored a used setup. Was very surprised to read on that old…
- Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... I have followed this all the way. There was such an extended silence from you that I feared you had moved on & it would never materialise. That kit looks beautiful - as does the dyno chart. Economics have turned against…
- Pelican Case As Side Bags? I did that for my Dakar. Used Storm cases which have nicer latches but the cases are not quite as strong as the Pelicans. [image: Posted Image] Notice the little Pelican on the tank for my camera. [image: Posted Image]…
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer LH side with the brake! Yea I had a Triumph Tiger Cub and a Vincent Comet like that but things have moved on since then.
- Diy Custom Stock Seat For Cheap Bastards [image: View Post]vfrrider, on Apr 22 2008, 10:24 PM, said: Maybe not quite as elegant, but probably about the same results. I did mine following these guys example from seat pant to recovering with new vinyl stitched…
- Want To Clarify I saw the title and thought 'This guy is a big time jerk to say a thing like that' and skipped it. I don't care that it may have been sarcasm. You just don't say or write a thing like that in the same way you don't…
- 1986 Vfr700 Conversion To Electric I had missed this thread until now. Congratulations on both what you have done & that it now runs. Global warming as a consequence of burning fossil fuel is undeniable as far as I am concerned. I am amazed by the…
- It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... This thread has gone on for so long it has become boring. There has been good solid innovation when something new is posted then another long delay before the next installment. Gets to the road-going prototype then the…
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer What you propose for the rear brake is novel. Like the front end is. What I notice about your workshop is more how small the space you have created this in rather than how cluttered it is.
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project BLS, those triples are things of beauty & grace. Did you make those on a conventional Bridgeport type mill?
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project I like your style. I made my own simply because I could & wanted to (no need because I had a gull wing in stock). If I had seen yours mine would have also had holes as that looks better to me than the one I made.…
- Gen. 6th Vfr: The Brake Lines Are Now Runnging Through The Swingarm! [image: Posted Image] Banjo connector.jpg
- Gen. 6th Vfr: The Brake Lines Are Now Runnging Through The Swingarm! Very nice. On a 5th gen there is a big hole leading into the SSA when you remove the wheel hub. Many thanks for the video. I have altered a stainless hose & did not know you cut it with a sharpened chisel. I Dremelled…
- Unchain My Bike... Or So I Thought... I really wanted to go down this route when I had a VFR so have followed every posting on this topic. Bummer man that it didn't work out as you hoped. Is it impossible to add a small tensioner running on the lower slack…
- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike Makes it look like wheelbarrow in my opinion. Each to his own.
- Acumen Dg8 Gear Indicator Install On my Dakar I have their new combined volt meter & gear position indicator. Same size as the gear indicator. I am very happy with the gear display but it is confused if the clutch is disengaged though that is not…
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer On the FFE graph of anti-dive percentage: 1. It changes from pro-dive to anti-dive at about 35mm wheel deflection. Is 0 wheel deflection when forks are fully extended (ie front wheel just about airborne)? If so then…
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer Aegis should be iges I think. It is an industry standard for exporting & importing between different cad.cam programs. I just want the wireframe drawing (no solids thanks) so I can re-create it in my Cimatron & generate…
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer This is good. Very good. Those cad plots wrapped around the tubes - do you plot the developed shape, tape it to the tube then grind for accurate fit-up? Nice move. Is that going to be a pivoted tail section? Two…

- Tales Of Zumo Wow, this gizmo is really cool. I got the TomTom rider a year ago and love it, but it doesn't have the trip log / bread crumb feature that most GPS units have and that would be cool to have a record of all the places…

- Son Of Frankenviffe The Ride I had worked late into the afternoon and was taking an unusual route home because it would give me a better chance to feel the improvements. First thing I found was the front brakes are pathetic – hardly any…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Anodising I had the brake adapters and upper triple anodized bright gold. I also wanted the compression adjuster pots that sit just above the axle anodized but the anodisers warned that cast aluminium usually turns out…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Fork Lengths I made a sleeve for the VFR axle to fit the RC51 fork (RC51 axle is 22mm vs. VFR 20mm) so I could accurately measure the difference in fork lengths. The RC51 forks are 16.6mm shorter than the 5th gen VFR…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Top Triple. Safe-T had got me a CBR 959 upper triple. It had been sand blasted and was not very pretty. That did not worry me at all as it was always my intention to make my own take on a Vortex top triple. All I needed…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Axle. VFR axle is 20mm. RC51 axle is 22mm. Because I have used the VFR wheel in the RC51 forks I was not able to properly fit the wheel to the new forks to check dimensions; you have to change wheel bearings and it is…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Front Wheel I decided to stick with the VFR front wheel. You have to get RC51 front wheel bearings because the RC51 axle is 22mm diameter whereas the VFR is 20mm. The 47x22x12 (check, is it 14?) bearing used in the RC51…
- Son Of Frankenviffe Titanium Nitride: I decided to have the slider tubes titanium nitrided just for the bling of it. You can screw the fork bottoms off. I made an aluminium split collar which I clamped in the jaws of my lathe and screwed…
- Son Of Frankenviffe http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1169248275/gallery_4545_2572_92996.jpg I found myself doing a Frankenviffer front end through ignorance. Shortly after getting my 5th gen VFR I threw it down the road & had to…

- Another Frankenviffer DonnyBallGame OK, I got my VFR Fork Ass'y off. Yah! That is the good news. After Safe-T's last post I was a little hopeful, here is why. When I got my R1 Forks, I grabbed my digital Starrett calipers and started…

- Rc51 Sp1 Forks Vtec Install Thanks for that listing. I have just started doing this for my 5th gen so this helps plenty (I have collected everything on VFRD that I have seen on this topic) 1. Veefer800Canuck did not need such a thick spacer under…
- Not another 5G undertail exhaust. 1. What are your current thoughts on Jet Coating? 2. WHERE'S THE SOUND CLIP EVERYONE WANTS?
