  1. 2003 VFR800 for sale $3000 13 Aug 2019 01:07 VFR 800, 27k miles, runs and drives perfectly. Bike has never been abused, no wheelies, stoppies, or any other stupid hooligan tricks. This is a great sport touring bike! Many desirable options included: Corbin seat…
  2. Great Deal on tri-fold aluminum ATV MC loading ramp 22 Jan 2011 02:13 I've got the harbor freight equivalent of this, looks identical. Works perfectly on my trailer but the bed is only 20" above the ground.
  3. Got a picture of your first road bike? 4 Jan 2011 00:48 1974 Honda CB350 four. This one's not mine, but the color is the same. [image: Posted Image]
  4. Where to retire? 30 Nov 2010 05:05 Asheville gets my vote. The perfect blend of country and city living. Awesome roads, mild winters, and beautiful scenery. I'm trying to figure out a way to get my job transferred down there, sort of a pre-retirement…
  5. Riding positions. Calculator for various bikes. 21 Nov 2010 16:12 Interesting, and I like the ground line reference to putting feet down. Would be more useful IMO if it included some guidelines on what good ergos are for various riding types; sport riding, LD touring, crising, hi…
  6. K&N Filter Cleaning & Oiling 20 Sep 2010 15:44 I've been meaning to ask this same question for some time now. Is the cleaning technique just to submerge it in the cleaner full strength, or dilute ? I'll be using simple green. Thanks for reminding me!
  7. Why does everything slow down when you have a wreck? 18 Aug 2010 22:01 [image: View Post]k1c, on 18 August 2010 - 10:44 AM, said: [image: View Post]timmythecop, on 18 August 2010 - 12:43 AM, said: I really hate to bore youse guys with police crap, but it is what I know. In a life…
  8. Trailer in a bag 26 Jul 2010 18:58 I have no direct experience with one, but I'd be concerned with any trailer that has small diameter wheels and no springs/suspension, particularly if your interstate travels will bring you to areas with poorly…
  9. Making a trailer 7 Jul 2010 13:34 I started out with nearly the exact same trailer, unfortunately I don't have any before and after pics. Here's what I did: Weld 2 triangles of rectangular tubing to square up the bed, then cut tdown he length of the…
  10. Want to start doing my own changes. 20 Apr 2010 20:06 [image: Posted Image] [/quote] Straight out of the bottle or diluted?
  11. Want to start doing my own changes. 20 Apr 2010 19:06 Back to OP question: 2 more things to consider: 1. The mojo blocks are a slippery plastic (delrin?) and it is difficult or impossible to clamp the HF clamps down tight enough to prevent the wheel from turning in the…
  12. Want to start doing my own changes. 20 Apr 2010 02:02 If it was that easy, then why did they invent the yellow thing? http://www.vfrdiscus...tyle_emoticons/default/smile.gif The bead will walk, and holding it with one hand isn't as easy as they make it sound. Some sort of…
  13. Want to start doing my own changes. 19 Apr 2010 23:35 So far I've used a ratcheting tie down. Others have used a clamp, and I bought one to use, but was too small for a rear tire. The bead will pop back over the rim, and cause you to chase it around the tire. Gotcha. The…
  14. Harbor Freight Tire Changer - Truck Hitch Mount 18 Apr 2010 12:13 What kind of mount/demount bar are you using?
  15. Restoring a VFR headlight 10 Nov 2009 22:53 I had great results on the headlights on my VW Golf also. Do you think it would work on the VFR windscreen?
  16. HF wheel chock 1 Nov 2009 22:10 Here's my solution... Drilled 2 new pivot holes at the same level as the lowest hole and 1" behind the forward edge of the bracket. Still holds the wheel firmly enough to hole the bike uprignt by itself, and I can get…
  17. HF wheel chock 29 Oct 2009 01:38 Trailer is a tilt bed, that could only help, but have not tried it yet. Probably have to block both the front and the back of the bed to keep it from see-sawing when the bike rolls back. Also, I'm thinking about…
  18. HF wheel chock 28 Oct 2009 23:17 I have this chock nounted on my trailer http://www.harborfre...temnumber=96349 It works great and easily holds the bike up while I attach the straps. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn1/coopduc/trailer003.jpg The…
  19. Gap Around The Seat 25 Oct 2009 13:04 Here's what it looks like on my corbin: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn1/coopduc/seat.jpg
  20. Pics Of Your Gps Setup 16 May 2009 23:10 Here's mine for a Garmin nuvi, just completed mounts off the brake MC cover. Black anodized 1/8" thick aluminum, I glued a thin piece of cork to the bottom to protect the top of the cover. Works great! [image: Posted…
  21. Public Service Announcement 12 Jul 2008 14:03 The Honda paint code for '02-'04 Silver is NH-411M.
  22. Harbor Freight Tire Changer 7 Jun 2008 00:51 Just curious, what do you do-it-yourselfers do for balancing? static bubble balance also yourself, or take it somewhere for a balance??
