  1. Potential Re-Release Of Two Brothers Racing Vfr800 Headers 12 Nov 2014 01:06 Well well well, I'll be waiting with feverish anticipation.
  2. Potential Re-Release Of Two Brothers Racing Vfr800 Headers 12 Nov 2014 00:32 OK, so I was reading this thread about some sexy header ideas for about 30 pages and the suspense got to killing me. I jumped to the last page, the started clicking backwards and realized that the header group buy…
  3. Six weeks a tent and a vfr updated november 12th traffic with a capitol t hollywood and the score wind 1 olive 0 day 4148 13 Jun 2011 11:33 Enjoying every post Olive. Oh how I yearn for trips of my youth......... :biggrin:
  4. I've Got An 8 Spoke Wheel Coming... ...what To Do...? 9 Jun 2011 12:27 Hmm, I've been drooling over a stock wheel for a long time now. My 8-spoker just doesn't do it for me the way the 5 spoke does. I wonder if I can have the 8 spoke melted down and recast as a 5 spoke wheel?
  5. Powerlet Voltmeter 6 Jun 2011 17:15 I have not used the powerlet for anything. Not much need to heated gear and the GPS is hardwired. I guess at some point I would feel the need for a powerlet, but as of right now it just collects dust.
  6. Powerlet Voltmeter 6 Jun 2011 15:54 I need a voltmeter, and I have a Powerlet port in plain view. Does anyone know of a plug in volt meter for Powerlets? That would be a pretty nifty idea especially for those that have several bikes with Powerlets.
  7. What I learned during TMAC 25 May 2011 15:51 I learned: 1) Oyama thinks I'm faster than I really am. 2) I have a physical abnormality that prevents me from getting my knee down regardless of how far the bike is leaned over. 3) Riding by yourself at TMac is a great…
  8. Big F Project 14 Apr 2011 10:56 I'm glad this old topic came back up. I missed most of 09. Looks fantastic!
  9. '83 VF750 back on the road, 13 Apr 2011 19:01 I felt the same way with my old 700, and the difference between the origional wheels and the F2 wheels on my 1KR. It used to fall into the corner and not inspire confidence. Now, it goes in harder but feels more stable.…
  10. Best VFR model 12 Apr 2011 19:10 1KR not for long distance touring? It's not the arrow, it's the indian. My Tour Ride the bike you have. These things are built like tanks. You are never as conditioned to ride as you are after a few weeks in the saddle.…
  11. Official TEXASMAC 2011 Event Thread, May 19th-22nd 15 Mar 2011 20:37 I reserved my room. She had a tough time getting the same room for all three nights. If you are coming, you better get on the stick.
  12. VF1000R Updates 28 Feb 2011 12:29 Man I like the idea of a front end update on the 1KR. Enjoying the build.

  14. 2011 CBR600F 28 Dec 2010 13:35 I have not thrown a leg over the new RR, but my understanding is that they are comfy. I wonder if they missed the mark on this one?
  15. Where is everyone? 6 Dec 2010 21:38 I haven't been around for a while. I have been prepping for family visiting my place for a few months, then they came, then some more came, then one more wave. I'm done with all that......... ahh holiday traffic is…

  18. Early VF oil cooler install 27 Sep 2010 11:28 Why not just run the cooler in series? I would think the pressure drop across a cooler would be little to none.
  19. VTEC-SC... 24 Jul 2010 02:20 I love my vtec's powerband............... that looks like a lot of fun though. I would imagine even with full gear and two up, that thing screams. :fing02: Definately in the want list. Lately the house is the…

  21. VTEC-SC... 16 Jul 2010 05:01 I have never wanted to supercharge my 6th gen so badly. Don't need it. Don't need it. Don't NEED it. This will be tough. What can I…
  22. 2nd Gear Flat Spot is Dangerous! 7 Jul 2010 12:23 I keep getting the feeling that your bike has some sort of malfunction. It sounds like several of the other riders notice a slight dip in acceleration in the instance that you've pointed out, but not quite to the same…
  23. Is this an elitist stance? 8 Jun 2010 17:27 1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources. 2. a. The sense of…
  24. An interesting survey... 22 Apr 2010 14:59 It's all pretty much a statistics game. AKA........ BS. I say that the MSF course is completely ineffective because it is not complete enough. They are missing one valuable part of training. A new motorcyclist should be…

  28. Official TEXASMAC Memorial Ride thread 2010 10 Feb 2010 17:43 Ohh crap, here comes the moment of realization. I haven't ridden (other than a few commutes to and from work) since last year's TMac. Come rain or shine I'll be there.

  34. Hossackviffer Mkii 23 Oct 2009 00:24 I wonder, Do you plan on going around a 15 ft radius turn at 35 mph or 75....... the forces between the two are drastically different. Maybe somewhere in between?
  35. Hossackviffer Mkii 22 Oct 2009 20:17 Rule of thumb........... overload the model and see what breaks. :cool: I'm looking forward to playing with another type of problem. :blink:
  36. Hossackviffer Mkii 22 Oct 2009 19:47 I use Solid Works about every day. Well, ok my drafters do. I mainly use it for stress analysis. Send me your part file, detailed material/heat treat specs, and some potential loads and I will do some analysis for you.…

  42. Not Sure If I'll Regret This. 6 May 2009 03:22 Steve, When I talked to you this sounded just like the deal for you........ I know you're not towing mowing equipment with a bike to work. A SS actualy makes sense for you. stress cracks in the frame? recall? Time to do…
  43. Time To Rebuild The VF1000R...IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 May 2009 21:48 Very cool. My R has a spacer on either side of the rear shock. In that case I would just put two on the right side and see if that helps out the shock fitment. What tail is that? I have been planning (in imagination…
  44. 2011 Vfr 1000cc - 1200cc V4 Engine 17 Apr 2009 11:15 I don't know........... all that talk on the three cam engine and VTEC sounds like a mapping nightmare to me. I'll believe that when I see it.
  45. Vf1000r Motor In Vf1000f Frame? 31 Dec 2008 11:59 Very nice work. I didn't realize there was a change in the early years of 1000R.

  50. Rwb Spotted On Mcas Cherry Point Nc 16 Sep 2008 16:47 Ahh MCAS Cherry Point. What memories. My B school was there. One of my dirt biking buddies got transferred back this year and I think I might head back to see what I can see and do some visiting. OK, back on Topic.
