Last 50 of 1,088- Picked 2 for £300 I might need some help 😂 "Lunch" 🤣
- Picked 2 for £300 I might need some help 😂 23 minutes ago, FromMaine PSA Capt 80's is correct, l did get it wrong. Despite owning an 86 VF500F and having an 83 VF750F sitting in my garage. Think I'll grab a beer and have a quiet talk with myself. 😕 Dude. Grab…
- Picked 2 for £300 I might need some help 😂 12 minutes ago, FromMaine As Terry noted they did have some cam wear issues. This was in the 84-85 model run. In 86 Honda made some changes to the valve gear and carbs plus some other bits IIRC. This was a far better…
- 5TH GEN DELINK + cop I should not be attributed with anything in this area, except that I do pay attention to and note the different ways to accomplish this, and continue to voice my opinion that linked brakes do not belong on a VFR. A…
- Hello (again) after a long absence 18 hours ago, StrayCat2 the difference between a hoarder and a collector is the illusion of organization Shit. I better clean up my shop again.
- VFR 800 fi (98) - hello everyone (Givi tank bag problem) The outer ring comes with the bag (if purchased new), so hopefully you don't need that too. Outer rings are universal but are very expensive for what they are if they need to be purchased. Spent a small fortune…
- RC30 tribute 11 minutes ago, Gazzaboo Hi yes I have one that I have built over the winter that has just past I’ll check log book tomorrow I only just got excepted today or I would of posted sooner over the last couple of days I’ve…
- RC30 tribute 14 minutes ago, Presson Surely it's got to be the standard factory RC30 colours? I agree. If you're gonna call it a RC30 "Replica", then it should be that basic scheme and colors. If you're gonna call it a Factory HRC…
- 4th Gen VFR Grab Rails Install 57 minutes ago, WGREGT I was expecting them to still be on the mounting pegs, and just swiveling down flat, no? That's like the 3rd Gen was designed to do. I amazingly couldn't find a single pic on the webs with them…
- 4th Gen VFR Grab Rails Install 2 hours ago, Dutchy [image: 20240122_123957.thumb.jpg.8c4ea97e9d0dbbb9f1075a4be28248e3.jpg.f4ee818599210266ab6d7c056c3c16e8.jpg] I see! I wonder if there is room to align the two holes and secure them together? Might…
- 4th Gen VFR Grab Rails Install Dutchy, 11/17/2016 at 6:17 AM and folded reversed/inwards, they'll fit under your seat. (unless something like an alarm is fitted in that space..) 1 hour ago, Dutchy The 3rd gens (1990-93) maybe , 4th gens (1994-97) no.…
- 4th Gen VFR Grab Rails Install While this won't directly affect me as I have eliminated my passenger pegs, I have never read or seen this info regarding a 4th Gen. Somebody being clever? Doesn't feel like it was purposely engineered that way like the…
- 4th Gen VFR Grab Rails Install 11 hours ago, WGREGT VFR content: For passenger confidence, I found the grab rails and a small pkg of hardware that obviously I took off with them since it was all taped together. Took them off...25-28 years ago? I saw…
- Nice purchase surprise I just sold a perfect OEM Grey one on eBay last week.
- Nice purchase surprise 1 hour ago, DrtyWhiteWheels ...been looking for a good condition white rear seat cowl for a 6th gen for the last year or so... The ones out of China are probably pretty decent, including color match. At least you'd have…
- 5th gen Paint [image: SprayMax.webp.915e85b1248cf8cbe8521d7ee83291b9.webp] To prove it to my friend who was painting his tank, I sprayed out a piece. DupliColor Lacquer and 2 coats of 2K. The shape allowed a puddle of fluid to stay…
- 5th gen Paint 3 hours ago, Thumbs How do you deal with modern paint not being petrol resistant? A real clear coat, even a 2-part 2K out of a can, is easily up to the task.
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? I should have pulled my RC36 box down to refresh my memory. Perhaps the US version doesn't have an "ON" brass tube that the plastic strainer would slide over. I may have failed to remember that. Does it look like this,…
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? I used the wrong words above regarding reserve. I had a margarita before tacos. Does not flow thru both. The design is from the 1990-1993 VFR where the rest of the world got a fuel select knob in the upper cowl. US did…
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? You don't need a reserve tube. You can't access it anyway. You just need some way to locate the o-ring around the base of the strainer piece for sealing. "fuel resistant" RTV is just that... resistant. It WILL FAIL.…
- Prepping new to me 1998 Honda marking. No question.
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? The petcocks from bike model to bike model can be very different, even within the same manufacturer. So the screen is going to be just as unique. A product like that wouldn't be one-size-fits-all. If there was anybody…
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? 5 minutes ago, WGREGT Hmmm...the way that plastic OEM one looked coming out of the tank, I'm hesitant to go with a plastic screen material again. But the Pingel one is pricey. You bought the plate only, thinking by the…
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? And here is the link to the adapter plate I bought. It was a nicely machined, quality piece. I bought the plate only. https://vfrworld.com/threads/vfr-750-new-style-petcock.61955/#post-653698 I've seen someone else's…
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? This was the discussion regarding the screens https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/112854-fuel-petcock-filter-is-trash-how-to-replace/#comment-1157684
- 4th gen fuel tank petcock assembly? "LOVED"? Like past tense? I think someone found that the CBR1100XX strainer was a fit? I'm not sure on that. There are a couple people making adapter plates with an o-ring groove to the tank and a threaded boss to take…
- Yellow 5th Gen painting It's like seeing double
- Yellow 5th Gen painting I had to read it closely before I realized: 1. The "kid" did not paint it. 2. The "kid" was not a "kid". 3. The punctuation mark, a "period", is open to interpretation as much as art is.
- 3D Printed RC36 I & II parts Apologies if it has been posted before. Stumbled across this today. If you need one, you will instantly know what that is. [image: vfr_2.webp.8cb8494b43613a001cf6b0467b1ad250.webp] He's got some other interesting items.…
- 8th Gen: Replacing Rear Brake Line? 3 hours ago, Thumbs It looks like Pyramid plastics faux CF that I've got Actually I've got an unused faux CF chain guard from them if you're interested [image: IMG_3315.jpeg] [image: IMG_3317.jpeg] The chain guard is…

- A short "hello" and introduction 1 hour ago, Rllwjoe Mine came with red powdercoated rims that was too much red. Red rims are polarizing. I think there is literally one Honda that came with red rims that I like. All (most) other attempts just feel…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years 1 hour ago, Dutchy Enough is enough.... After 32 years it is time to place another pin and put the initial in the bin. [image: 20260108_160058.thumb.jpg.8256c6f11c1b8f643395a2027e2a1386.jpg] [image:…
- Helibars for VFR1200F - Non DCT/Manual Might have allowed them to use available control housings instead of developing a svelte, good looking handle bar potentiometer at the time. It was 15+ years ago.
- Gotta Ride! 57 minutes ago, bmart I don't know how you guys are riding, but I've never touched down even at advanced track pace! Not sure we are talking about the same thing. I'm referring to the nubs on the outer TOP. I would hope…
- Gotta Ride! MBrane, 12/3/2025 at 7:16 PM Wouldn't take but a few minutes to remove those nubs from those pegs with the right tool. Mine are aftermarket. They do have nubs, but not near as much. Absolutely. I would have blended…
- Gotta Ride! For me its not aluminum vs rubber. I have both between my many bikes. Those pronounced raised nubs on the end of the stock aluminum pegs would bug the shit out of me. I can see them catching my boot when I want to move…
- My Delkovic Experience Alternatively: My Sensorineural Experience.
- Got a RC24 again...... 10 hours ago, keny Thanks for the tip The odd thing I think is the corrosion has started elsewhere but not where the clamp to the brake caliper rod is, then on the clutch line it's more less logic. As I have believe the…
- Got a RC24 again...... 16 hours ago, keny Then there was a brained clutch as rear brake line [image: large.IMG_20251123_095246566_AE.jpg.72472538a0f09da60b49cc544c092704.jpg] The rear brake line looked just dirty but actually it's the brained…

- And so for my next trick... I need to get that forked plate, or make one. I manage, but I could manage easier.
- And so for my next trick... I would give it one more go with a new seal knowing that you're not installing/removing it multiple times over the top of the tube and being extra careful by wrapping the lip and groove. Then you will know for sure if…
- Winter VFR preventive maintenance 8 hours ago, FromMaine My 86. 90. 97, and 01 all have white wheels, so you know what side of the fence I am on. Personally, I think MBranes polished aluminum or Mello's silver would be the next best choice. If it has to…
- How often do you change out your air filter? 20 minutes ago, Terry I ride 100% paved roads, usually out through farmland or forests and generally not in traffic, and our climate is pretty mild, so I mainly have dead insects and grass/leaves in my air filters, not…
- How often do you change out your air filter? Air filters are typically "as needed", aren't they? Do you live or work at the bottom of a strip mine or do you live in a mild climate with inherently less dust and a paved driveway? The same mileage will yield VERY…
- 2001 VFR revival Is this the rag that you set the end of on fire? [image: molotov.jpg.5be85e55ad56777f2601ec9ad6c5b14a.jpg]
- My Delkovic Experience Cutting up a Staintune seems pretty blasphemous.
- Might need some help putting my '01 back together again. The "while you're there" syndrome. Or "Now is the time to do it, everything is out of the way." Been there way too many times. All of a sudden it's a frame, an engine and a limp wire harness hanging from each end. But…
- Black Widow headers ... Good or Bad? The merges for the VFR model seems to have gotten better. They were pretty shitty on their early versions iirc. The neck-downs at the head stand out. Don't know if the larger diameter after is actually doing anything…
