All 25- First questions. I'll put up some more photos once I've done the wheels. Getting the tyres popped off tomorrow. Oldred.
- First questions. Unfortunately the colour was a bit off so had to paint the whole bike so took a bit longer but all looks good now with everything the same colour even if it's not right but I'm not going for concours. Oldred
- First questions. 1 hour ago, JZH This was the era of grey imports into the UK. Many EU-spec bikes were not set up to run both headlight bulbs (I think a relay may have been missing, as well as the bulb and wiring), so you might want to…
- First questions. [image: BE3C1567-B4F8-476F-9421-64291BC996A7.thumb.jpeg.b50488358083bffbd65bd058665f3fc8.jpeg][image: 48AE1EC7-0C4B-418A-AD53-5C29B76B843C.thumb.jpeg.3950867f82582ff1c4669237b870bad1.jpeg] Starting to come together now,…

- First questions. more pictures to follow, panels in red in the drying room (my garage loft, gets quite toasty up there on a sunny day!). [image: 71E23E34-17F8-4DF3-94DF-D96AFE0EC6BD.thumb.jpeg.038cff450a935760081e35930a232519.jpeg]
- First questions. Here's some I took earlier of before any work completed.
- First questions. 20 hours ago, Dutchy :worthlesswithoutpics: Yes I have lots and will be putting them up shortly but am having some IT issues with my phone just now where my photos are stored so bear with me for now Oldred
- First questions. Redone today and no wrinkles!
- First questions. So had a reasonable day today, plenty of sunshine so got all the plastics painted, had a mishap with the headlight surround, had a bit of clear left in the pot so decided to give it another coat of clear, big mistake…
- First questions. So after a few days rain managed to get the rest of the fairing into primer, I'm leaving the rear side panels for now as they are in good shape so will see how good a match I get before deciding whether or not to paint…
- First questions. Upper fairing parts now in primer ready for the basecoat and clear, rest of the plastics in preparation for priming, if the rain holds off I'm hoping to get that done as well today. So far so good, onwards and upwards…
- First questions. Fairing repairs have been progressing, the repairs have been almost completed, just a little bit of filling left to do then primer if possible tomorrow followed by the basecoat and clear, the upper part of the fairing…
- VFR fourth gen fairings? CrackGarage, 4/23/2024 at 11:31 PM Yeah eventually I am going to buy all of the plastic for mine or try to repair the ones that are still savable. I was just wondering if there are cheaper alternatives. I like the stock…
- First questions. All my brake overhaul kits arrived late this afternoon so set to on the rear master cylinder, quite a pig to get apart as the circlip and washer underneath were well and truly rusted in but perseverance won out in the…
- First questions. 30 minutes ago, Presson Frankly I would go for master cylinder rebuild then as well, front and rear. Not difficult and you've got the system apart anyway Already under way, just waiting for the parts to arrive, my rules…
- First questions. Made a scary discovery today while stripping out the rear brakes and master cylinder, looked at the rubber flexy brake hose and it's date stamped 1997 so it's the original!! Braided stainles hose on order! Oldred
- First questions. 8 hours ago, Dutchy [image: image.png.86aecbab3255866bd0ea6f7d8d3e1c9b.png] Yeah #9 provides a little "cover" over the tiny hole (not blocking it). Must be a Honda engineer waking up at night with a vision....…
- First questions. Dutchy, 6/14/2024 at 8:23 AM Yep, Y2K all the way! [image: n23.jpg.7355e8f54cd3c54ebfa205c4e30abda6.jpg] [image: IMG_0406.thumb.jpg.086b7e1004a919baf9a23e259b39265f.jpg] If they're the later mirrors it looks like mine…
- First questions. So today stripped off the front calipers and stripped them for inspection, found quite a bit of crud in the fluid reservoir so doesn't look like anyone has been in there for some time, while in there I discovered a…
- First questions. Todays update, Japan source failed, no longer available, so thought I'd have a look at fixing the ignition switch. Got the keyswitch out and split the switch from the lock and found that the detents of the switch are in…
- First questions. 4 hours ago, Captain 80s I can add some comments on paint. The Honda touch up paint is USELESS on that color. The paint is a candy and pearl, and the touch up is nearly translucent and tends to somehow make scratches…
- First questions. 4 hours ago, Presson Hi Oldred and welcome from Herts. On the brakes you will need to remove and inspect the pistons to determine if they need replacing. If they are pitted it's advisable to replace. You should…
- First questions. 2 hours ago, JZH IIRC, the switch is available separately from the lock cylinder, but it could have been discontinued. Looks like 35101-MZ7-600, and the Internet suggests that it is still available in some places.…
- First questions. OK here goes, first post so be kind! My recently aquired 97 750VFR is in need of a few things sorting as follows:- 1. Brakes back and front dragging so caliper overhaul, am I likely to need pistons or just seals? 2.…
