All 32- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 4 hours ago, bmart It is interesting. I knew what you were talking about, but never heard Yoshi. Only Yosh. Yoshimura is actually two words, Yoshi is good or lucky and mura is village or town. Yoshi is also the name of…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 4 minutes ago, Captain 80s And....still... what is "the Yoshi"? The Yoshimura slip-on exhaust that I asked you about in another thread
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 4 minutes ago, Captain 80s You say "the Yoshi", like we know wtf you are talking about. Selling a few more things tomorrow and the slush fund should recover enough to buy the NOS tank
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 33 minutes ago, Captain 80s Wow!... slush fund made a miraculous recovery. Sold the Yoshi exhaust for more, buy the Vance and Hines 🤑
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 8 hours ago, Captain 80s Its a quality unit. Your #42 pilots will compensate nicely. No need for bigger mains with a slip-on. If you like the looks and its in good shape, thats a good deal. Perfect, I bought it already…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 3 hours ago, Captain 80s I got some pieces in and I have 2 or 3 very promising options. I'm hoping to also install my carbs this weekend and verify the engine. And then I will hack off the muffler and start to fab up.…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 10 minutes ago, Captain 80s Sweet!!!! It's a little too quiet though 😅 How is the exhaust slip-on adapter project going?
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? Well, she runs beautifully. The rebuilt carbs went on easily with a little coaxing from the heat gun. Mixture screws out 2 turns with the #42 pilot and one shim. The gearbox is nice and smooth, no trouble getting to…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? I am new to the VFR so I don't know much, but I think my R157 is the one on the left. The one on the right is darker
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 3 minutes ago, Captain 80s That tank is a better investment than ANYTHING else right now. Jus sayin I hear you. I am trying to figure out how to cover my tracks as we speaks.........ran out of slush fund already
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s Now that you ordered it, where did you find it? It came to about $150 with tax and shipping 😢. I ordered it through my buddy's connection. He's my source for unobtainiums. I didn't ask where…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 3 minutes ago, Captain 80s You HAVE to buy that Petcock. It is more than twice the cost of an original Honda CB750 petcock but seeing that it is an unobtainium, I went ahead and order it. Hopefully there is no mistake…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 34 minutes ago, Captain 80s I can't believe this thread isn't "Check out my NOS tank" then. Oof, found a NOS petcock for $129 plus tax and shipping........
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s I can't believe this thread isn't "Check out my NOS tank" then. LOL, I am cheap plus I haven't ridden this bike yet. The carbs will go on today, I might have the engine running. Also, I have a…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 16 minutes ago, Captain 80s Where can you buy a new tank? I have a friend who works for a parts warehouse. He found a R157 NOS gas tank for about $600 plus tax. I think it is at a Honda dealer in FL
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 10 minutes ago, Captain 80s I know none of those are actually great, but they are the ones with hardware. Would like to see inside the one with the cap. The problem is I prefer not to repaint or repair dents. At that…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 4 minutes ago, Captain 80s Put a high quality fuel line quick-disconnect for when the tank has to come off. That is one of the options to overcome the leaky petcock. Saw a post on here with one that fits. In the…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s Have you drilled out the rivets and opened the petcock? (I forget) Yes, the pivot shaft is badly corroded and does not provide a seal even with a rebuild kit. I guess last resort I can try to…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s I happen to have a 1990 and a 1995 with all the bodywork off right next to each other in my shop. I'm not optimistic. The mounting styles are similar, but the way they mount it has to be…
- Will a Gen4 gas tank and seat fit on a Gen3? Trying to explore options for a gas tank and seat for my 91. The eBay Gen3 gas tank was a bust, the seller didn't pack the box up properly and it arrived damaged. Gen4 gas tanks are more readily available as well as the…
- $400 1990 VFR750F 46 minutes ago, Captain 80s Goodbye 5 pounds of bullshit. [image: PXL_20211227_194047605.thumb.jpg.8a4562bcd405d748654cebea2ed6bbe9.jpg] Pulled the carbs and removed the emissions / PAIR CRAP. Later I will remove the…
- $400 1990 VFR750F 3 minutes ago, bmart I have bought from these guys and the CB-1 parts showed up. They're for real. 🙂 I bought stuff for my CBs from a bunch of Thai sites before. They have very good sites for NLA stuff. My problem is…
- $400 1990 VFR750F 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s I source my parts individually. Viton o-rings for the float bowls and fuel / vent cross over tubes. Genuine Keihin jets as needed. Keyster makes decent stuff, but It's still a crap shoot about…
- $400 1990 VFR750F Very nice find. LOL, I am eyeing that gas tank 🤤 I checked my engine for running with starting fluids after going through the pre-starting procedures. Which carb rebuild kits do you guys prefer for the VFR? Keyster or…
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer Got it home safe and in one piece. The right hand strap slid off the throttle grip a couple of inches after 250 miles. Had to redo the strap for the rest of the 100+ miles. All original with the factory tool kit, rust…
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer 1 hour ago, Captain 80s [image: 1749804991_PXL_20220115_0151042801.thumb.jpg.dd2469956f2c7bf98ba8933792b77294.jpg] It has them.... they are slid in and rotated forward under the seat in a tray (very likely). Pretty cool…

- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer Just looked at the pictures again and realized my bike does not have the rear grab rails. I guess I will just have to double down on the rear pegs
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer 22 minutes ago, bmart I've been transporting bikes for decades with a soft tie and strap on each grip without any issue (pulling up to tighten). We even hit a deer once and the trailer was up in the air. The bikes did…
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer 2 minutes ago, Captain 80s You won't clear the bodywork off of the lower clamp. Go off the grips then but ABSOLUTELY find some additional tie down points like the rear pegs like I did. You can't have straps run across…
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer Unfortunately, time is not on my side for purchasing the Canyon Dancer tie down for this trip. I will order it for future use. Is the lower triple reachable for use as strap down using soft straps? Or maybe I can strap…
- First post new owner to a 1991, need advice on transporting on a trailer Hi all, I will be transporting it over 350 miles of hilly and twisty terrain on a Kendon trailer. Searching this forum, it looks like the handlebar's grip/end are the recommended strap down point for the front. I am a…
