Last 50 of 123- Pilot Power 3's I like the minimal appearance of the siping on the Pilot Road 2 better than that of the Road 3s, so I'm thinking Road 2 rear and PPIII front. Any feedback on that combo?
- Anybody else like the linked brakes? Poll added. I love linked brakes. Last year I got caught in the Rocky Mountains on a dirt road (Mapquest said it was paved) that was super-steep downhill and rutted, a real ATV goat track and no place for a VFR with Dunlop…
- Memorial Stone Placement For Rich Merrill Fantastic, Keith! The coffee cup belongs there! I wish I could have joined you, but I was in Colorado in cages for a long weekend... :blink: It's about time for me to go up too and visit my buddy.

- Baileyrock Crashes At Nashville Superspeedway So sorry to hear this! Heal up quickly and 100%, Kevin!!
- Titanium Connecting Rods, Oh My! (update 12/01/12) Rob, I've been away from VFRD for weeks and just read the thread. I'm terribly sorry to read all this and hope Discovery Channel gets better programming soon! Best wishes for a 90%+ recovery for both the shoulder and…
- Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... arrow I am wondering if the SC kit would fit to my 6th gen with the frame slider in place? Whaddya mean? Dan's kit is a frame slider (on the right side at least). J/K!! Ooooo, that would suck... :fing02:
- 5th Gen Frankenviffer Very cool project, and well done. I can't wait to see the ride report, final weight, and fairings.
- Left Side Pics? I've often thought the left side was the ugly step-sister, but there's always plastic surgery! http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1160579163/gallery_5128_669_78167.jpg Mistresses.jpg…
- A Not So Good Day! [image: View Post]Beck, on Nov 26 2008, 05:13 PM, said: I'd still be a little worried about shavings in the cylinder because the plug holes are so deep in in the head lobes that it's hard to really get at anything in…

- Recall, Is It A Fix? [image: View Post]soichiro, on Nov 24 2008, 04:11 PM, said: I ordered a VFRness and will just install that. :cool: Listen to the man, people. If you aren't inclined to beef up your harness yourself, get a VFRness!!…
- Bike Criminaly Damaged I find this thread highly disturbing. I like my family and friends more than my bike, but I like my bike more than I do strangers. Don't mess with my bike :mad:
- Grrrl - Return To The 2 Wheeled World I've been holding my breath waiting to make sure a well-respected and much loved fellow VFRD member, Keithbob, is going to make a full recovery from serious heart surgery (valve rebuild). So imagine what a great night…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts:5000 Mile Wear Report I rode mine quite hard in the twisties over the past week and found them to stick extremely well with good feedback and moderate turn-in (not as quick as Diablos). Easy to get to the edge of the rear tire. I'm happy so…
- Recall, Is It A Fix? I'm glad you've documented everything with the dealer. The next step though, IMHO, is to beef up your wires, whether or not the dealer gives you the "okay".

- Recall, Is It A Fix? I posted this in another thread too, but it bears repeating: Tim (cassandtim) and I significantly upgraded his new recall harness to prevent problems that some guys have already been having. I'm not sure it's true of…
- After The Recall Tim (cassandtim) and I significantly upgraded his new recall harness to prevent problems that some guys have already been having. I'm not sure it's true of every new harness, but on Tim's the 12V sense wire was pretty…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts:5000 Mile Wear Report Nice to see some feedback on Roadsmarts. I wanted PR2s but couldn't get them at a decent price (Derby Cycles was out of stock), so I just spooned on some Roadsmarts. Initial impressions are very good, and I'm hoping…

- How The Vtec System Works I'll bet the new VFR (if it exists) will have cage-type VTEC, which would be okay except for the complexity of valve adjustments. Personally, I'd rather see direct injection and variable intake runner length.
- It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... black06vfr didit toro1 What's that saying again, "good things come to those who wait?" Good things come to those who wait . . . . . but only what's left behind by those who hustle! Believe me, we are all abaited breath…
- 4 Wheels Moves The Body, 2 Wheels Move Soul (long With Pics) Ya know, Lenna, it's not nice to make hundreds of grown men cry. It's not nice, but it's pretty damn cool anyway :biggrin:
- 4 Wheels Moves The Body, 2 Wheels Move Soul (long With Pics) That is so awesome! Congrats on getting back on two wheels, Lenna!! I'm going for a big ride tomorrow and will throw a wheelie up in salute. :wheel: Nothing you accomplish will surprise us here (but we'll cheer and hoot…

- Holy Cow It's True, Maybe My previous snide remarks aside, I'd love to see a version with something resembling the mechanical purity of an RC45, or hell, even a 3rd-5th gen... I don't see it happening, though.

- Pilot Road 2's As A Sport Tire Review! So, BR, will you go with a PP front and PR2 rear next time, or put PR2s on both ends again? Do you see significantly faster wear of the PP front over the PR2? And if so, is there enough difference in grip and feel to…
- Electric Shift I guess my opinion on this is undergoing a, umm...shift :rolleyes: I can barely tolerate an automatic, in anything, ever. My cars don't have them. However, since Frodus and I started building his electric motorcycle…

- Emergency Help Needed From 6th Gen Owner Hi all. I've been working feverishly on cassandtim's bike to get it ready to go to Canada for the Kootenay Hootenanny Wednesday morning, but we've run into a snag. We had to repair several broken wires at the black…

- Vfr Triple Clamp Project cassandtim I am, however, concerned about potential galling between the 7075 and the titanium. I have some Vibratite thread patching compound that clearly states that it minimizes galling/stripping. I hope that I don't…
