All 44- Memorial Stone Placement For Rich Merrill Good to hear from you Keith. It's really special looking at the picture that V-Fore posted of your garage and daydreaming about the magic of that meet at your place. I often think about that weekend. It seems so distant…
- Taken out by a kamakazi F#*n Deer Sorry to hear about the incident but very glad that you're doing better Jeff. Take Care, -T
- Another Distracted Driver As a person that has been through a similar accident (i.e. other party was cited for negligent driving, their insurance company accepted 100% of the liability) I would definitely recommend what motorhead1977 is saying .…
- 09 Cbr1000rr Mirrors Retro Fit On Vfr I just measured and modelled a set of bases for Magellan before I set off for the Summit Meet. Definitely a P.I.T.A. as the arm's base shape doesn't use what I'd call "normal" geometry. The arcs on the base are spiral…
- Fixing The Gas Tank I have used Citric Acid Powder (CAP) mixed with distilled water to remove rust on bicycles that I've restored. It has worked really well for me. I mix about 8 ounces (dry) CAP per gallon of distilled water. Boil the…
- 7th Gen Vfr [image: View Post]alwaysaware, on Aug 11 2009, 09:23 PM, said: It�s like a mythical creature (Big Foot, the Locke Ness Monster, Unicorns etc). If it�s not in front of your face and you can�t touch it, then it doesn�t…
- New V4 Vfr Web Site Is Up! It's all "Adventures in Value Subtraction". Oh look! Shiney New Widget Farkle-ations! The days of Honda actually listening to riders (at least here in North America) are way, way over. Riddle me this: If people from…
- More Fuel For The Fire... That flippin' dude needs some gear! Silly rabbit, tennis shoes and jeans are for squids! (Best Forrest Gump impersonation) "And that's about all I have to say about that."
- How'd You Protect The Taillight? Get a hugger. When I bought my '02 in '02 it took about 2 months (after the bike purchase) before the fender eliminator kit for the 6th Gen came out from Competition Werkes and I must have purchased mine in the first…
- Top Speed? I went really, really, really fast on the VFR on a loonngg straight in Eastern Washington one time. How fast? Fast enough to know that I really didn't need to go anywhere near that fast again! :goofy: Really, really,…
- Windscreen The link that I provided takes you to the Indy Superbikes website page for the Fabbri Double-Bubble windscreen for the 6th Gen VFR. The picture associated with the item page is just some random Fabbri windscreen for a…
- Windscreen Always remember that the search function at the top of the forum can be your best resource for information :) . With that said, I have had 3 different screens on my bike before I settled on my new Fabbri Double-Bubble…
- Is This A Good Deal For A Paint Job? I got a set of silver OEM hard bags from David Silver Spares painted Honda "Cosmic Black" to match my topbox last summer. The painter even removed those unsightly reflectors and the paint job turned out absolutely…
- Riding Again After An Accident KPerham Just seat time! I totally agree with this. As someone that has been down a couple of times and have witnessed a few bike accidents; the number one thing is to get back on and ride as much as possible. Sometimes…
- Radial Clutch Bending the stock lever will probably be the easiest (and cheapest) option. This is what I end up doing to my wife's motorcycles as she has difficulty with the reach on both levers. Heat and bend with a pipe very…
- Body Changes 02 - Present? I believe the only body change was the change from amber colored turn signal lenses to clear. Now the wiring, that's another story altogether. You'll definititely need to get the recall work done. Do a search here or PM…
- 4 Wheels Moves The Body, 2 Wheels Move Soul (long With Pics) Definitely the coolest thing I've heard about all summer. Congratulations, and here's to more two-wheel adventures in the near future :fing02: PS: I cried too!
- Safety Recall I was fully prepared to deal with a bunch of dealer malarky after my blue connector caught on fire on the way to the Canada Meet this summer. I was stranded in the mountains outside Yakima, had to get a tow into town…
- Sato Racing Rearsets I called Kyle Racing (West Coast Dist.) about them on Friday and was told to keep watching their website towards the end of Sept. They also said don't be surprised if they aren't available until 2nd week of October. It…
- 09 Vfr 1000f [image: View Post]Baileyrock, on Sep 6 2008, 08:55 AM, said: [image: View Post]cassandtim, on Sep 6 2008, 10:49 AM, said: Hmmmmm. Very curious indeed! I'm gonna be PO'd if this is the real deal after I've spent untold…
- 09 Vfr 1000f Somebody needs to call and see if they really are taking deposits for a 1000 cc V5 VFR for 2009. Would a reputable dealership put their a$$es on the line by taking deposits on an imaginary machine. No doubt that…
- 09 Vfr 1000f Hmmmmm. Very curious indeed! I'm gonna be PO'd if this is the real deal after I've spent untold hours and $$$$ on rebuilding the '02 with the RC51 front end and custom triple clamps. I actually thought that I was…
- Little People, Big Trucks Vs. Little Bikes It depends on whether the holes on the upper cowl that the turn signal lamps screw into are stripped or not. I'd say that anywhere there is damage to your plastics caused by the inattentive gentleman in the truck; he…
- Clock Won't Stay Set After Wire Upgrade I had the same thing happen after I rebuilt my '02. I found a blown fuse and after replacement everything is just fine. Cheers, -T
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project mello dude Stem questions - so did you make a stem from steel alloy or is it Honda part? What is the oven/freezer trick? (I can make a guess, but it doesnt hurt to ask.) I used the stock RC51 (SP1) steering stem. I do…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project That's a great idea that I never thought of. This kind of gave me the excuse to buy the titanium hardware. I had said to Magellan and Darth Bling earlier in this project that I would buy the exotic stuff if I didn't…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Dude, you're killin' me! "No beer for you!" I forgot to mention that the machinist made one small mistake when tapping the holes in the top clamp for the bar clamp mounts. He tapped the hole with an M10x1.25 instead of…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project No longer made out of "Unobtanium". The real deal just back from the CNC machinist. I popped the stem in moments ago using the old oven/freezer trick (mucho thanks to Busy Little Shop :blink: ) Thoughts? [image:…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Oh, and BTW, my 7075 material is in and my machinist says we're cued up to begin this weekend. If all goes well I will post up photos of the finished product early next week! Woot!
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Spiegler USA offers the LSL superbike kit for VFR's with stock front ends. http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/sbk.cfm
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Ok, so I've got the lowers modelled (see below) and I'll meet with my CNC Machinist tonight or tomorrow to discuss the particulars. I'll probably redesign the steering stops and make them a bit more angular (easier to…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Wonder no longer for I am here temporarily to explain all. Well almost all :biggrin: Please keep in mind that I work in the engineering (Civil) trades and suffer from a severe case of OCD. I realize that most of what…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project After all of the bonehead questions you've answered for me Rob, I'll customize it anyway you want :biggrin:. Cheers, Tim
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Yeah, it looks kinda slim in there but I used the Vortex RC51 top triple to get a lot of the measurements from. There's actually about 15mm of bite on the short side there, which is 5mm more than the Vortex. I'll email…
- Vfr Triple Clamp Project Well the story starts out with my motorcycle accident last August during Sportbike Northwest. I made the decision to rebuild the bike but wanted to upgrade the suspension by doing the RC51 fork conversion. After seeing…
- The Official Oil Thread Baileyrock Great choices, but I think your wasting money changing out MB1 every 3k. The whole idea of a quality Syn. oil like MB1 is that it provides superior protection for much longer change intervals. :thumbsup: It…
- The Official Oil Thread Mobil 1 Gold Cap with a Purolator Pure One filter every 3,000 miles (or so). Never had a problem. I miss ScootR sad.gif He had a really cool bike :thumbsup: ScootR, if you're out there, please come back!
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Where the heck is Darth Bling. He really should've had this all figured out by now :pissed: . All I know is I'm not waiting to have them whipped up by somebody a gazillion miles away. I want American made! I've got this…
- Pnw Vfrd Meet Tour Of Motoczysz' Factory As others have said, the tour was unbelievable. Thank you MotoCzysz for the incredible hospitality and for opening your doors to us Vifferistas. In the rush to get the BBQ prepared I thought that I might not make it to…
- 2008 Western Canada Meet - The Kootenay Hootenanny 2008 Beer, O Joyous Beer. I shall dream of Canadian Twisties followed by copious amounts of Canadian Beer and it will carry me through the long wet winter. My passport's good and I'm ready for the road. Cheers, -T PS, We're…
- 2008 Western Canada Meet - The Kootenay Hootenanny 2008 Is there beer in Western Canada? I could definitely be there if beer was readily available!
- Oil Filter Question I've just never really understood period. Futhermore; I'm quite rabid about it......... understanding, that is. :unsure:
- Oil Filter Question I'm hoping this may be helpful in some way: I run Purolator Pure One filters on my 6th Gen. There are two filters that work. One is PL14612 which is the same length as the Honda filter that came on the bike and the…
- FactoryPro Evo Star Shift Kit Report Will this work for 6th Gen VFR's?
