All 22- My 83 project bike.... Ah...that sure brings back memories of resurrecting my '85. I wish you the best of luck.
- Any Advice On Performance Upgrades? Jack up the license plate and drive a CBR1000RR under it. Lower the license plate, bolt it on, and you just picked up a whole bunch of horsepower. [image: View Post]Ryanme17, on Oct 25 2009, 10:46 PM, said: [image: View…
- Coyze's Map + Low Temps + Elevation.... [image: View Post]Ryanme17, on May 26 2009, 11:07 AM, said: I don't think our engines have an air pressure sensor (do they?) The MAP sensor is used to give the ECM a base line for pressure when you first turn the bike…
- My 1983 Vf750f Restoration Project, Lotsa Big Pics! After breaking off a very, very expensive special tap in a very expensive engine block, I found out that taps, while very hard and almost impossible to drill through, are extremely brittle. I got my smallest air chisel…
- My 1983 Vf750f Restoration Project, Lotsa Big Pics! More than you wanted to know about HID in a Gen I. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.p...c=42231&hl= Quote Tell me about the S-10 head light install? Did it bolt right in or did you have to mod it? And did you…
- Time To Look At Putting The Bike Away? I hate winter, too, but the ONE upside I was able to find is that you can stick your beer outside the garage in a snow bank and it stays nice and cold. Outside of that, I'm with you on this one, Seb. [image: View…
- Skuuter, When Are You Getting Your 7th Gen? Smoke 'em if ya got 'em, Skuut! I wish I had the disposable income to own a fleet of bikes, but I don't. But don't hold that against a guy who can.
- Color Rite Aerosol Cans Seb is right on the money, per usual. I tried painting my bike with the $20 HVLP Harbor Freight gun, and it was rubbish. I was getting runs and orange peel within inches of each other. It was so bad I thought I might as…
- Birth Of The 7th Generation Interceptor? 1: it is ugly. 2: it doesn't run. What is the point of that? They could have used the money it cost them to develop that turd for something far more productive, such as some BNG for the '10 VFR! Why innovate when you…
- 2009 Vfr 1200cc ? Is it just my skewed vision of things, or am I completely nuts...something tells me that NORMAL people aren't all atwitter about some fabled 2009 model year revamp and they are actually out RIDING. It seems like the…
- New 07' Rwb Given his state infirmary, I was trying to give him a break. :biggrin: [image: View Post]michaelf3, on Sep 6 2008, 08:26 PM, said: [image: View Post]chickenofsea, on Sep 6 2008, 07:20 PM, said: Put it up on the center…
- New 07' Rwb Put it up on the center stand and into 1st gear with the engine running. Get the old ball of depreciation rolling!! :wheel: Congrats on the new ride, man! Hope you heal quickly... Matt [image: View Post]michaelf3, on…
- Nothing New For '09... I for one could care less about what is coming out next year. If my fortunes keep up like they have been, I'll have to wait for another...say...23 years before the '09s are in my price range. I've got 5 more generations…
- Riot Grrrl, The Crash, The Story, The Pictures I had a chance to ride in a group with a guy who had a setup similar to that of the guy on the video. It was something to see, for sure, but I couldn't hope to catch up to this guy to save my life! He rode the damn…
- Speedo Recalibration ? I think he meant that he had an '02 VFR rather than a '92 VFR....right? [image: View Post]dendron, on Aug 2 2008, 12:22 AM, said: [image: View Post]dendron, on Aug 1 2008, 12:18 AM, said: [image: View Post]edg, on Jul…
- Vf1000r Rebuild HEY!!!! Take that back, Seb! I HATE winter. :pissed: Guess I live in the wrong state for that kind of attitude... [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on Jul 25 2008, 02:43 PM, said: .....followed abruptly by Old Man Winter...…
- Vf1000r Rebuild Having the 2 bulbs here in my hand, they don't look like they will fit, BUT, the connector terminals in the socket itself may be wider than the pins on the bulb and it may work. My experience with this has taught me not…
- Vf1000r Rebuild Seb- They do not line up. The 194 is about twice as wide and thick as the proprietary bulb. I don't know if they are the only ones who use this style ( I can't imagine that they are), but all my searching has not panned…
- Vf1000r Rebuild Seb- Here is a pic of the stock VF IPC bulb next to a 194 bulb. Note the difference in size of the base. [image: Posted Image] DSC02510.JPG [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on Jul 22 2008, 01:44 PM, said: EDIT: V4 BBS to the…
- Vf1000r Rebuild It is good to hear that you are making progress, Seb! To answer your question about the bulb type-I think it is a non-standard bulb type, as I had to order mine through Honda due to the fact that nobody carried anything…
- 1984 Vf700f Interceptor Looks like your clutch lever let go. They are still available from Service Honda for around $20 (I've replaced 2 of them tipping the bike over in the garage...DOH!!). If you need a part number, let me know. [image: View…
- Coolant Leak Get those farings off, Mat, and I'll have a look at it when I'm down there next. We need to hit the ground running this spring! :salesman: This may be water under the bridge or over the dam, but can anyone answer this…
