  2. Powder Coating Wheels 8 Mar 2015 22:54 I've stripped a bunch of modern sport bike wheels. They were all powder coated or painted with urethane paint. None were very thick.
  3. Garage Door Opener 20 Jul 2014 12:58 My son bought a Chamberlain opener and has an app on his cell phone to open it.

  6. Anyone Played With 3D Printer? Make Custom Bike Parts? 6 Nov 2013 23:41 Thanks to everyone who posted that has exp. with these items. You helped me make some decisions. :biggrin: For us old guys that have regular work exp., it's great to find out the pitfalls before spending money. Edited…
  7. Key Broke Off In My Givi Bag 30 Oct 2013 00:32 Tim, is there enough of the key in the lock that you can use a screwdriver to turn the lock set and remove or open the bag? Once the lid is open, it won't be difficult to remove the lock set or use a finepoint scribe…
  8. 200K 18 Sep 2013 00:34 Congratulations. That is truly an accomplishment.
  9. The 2,600 Miles Ride Report. 8 Aug 2013 00:17 Good post. I'm knowledgeable about Colorado and California. You did a lot of miles in conditions that make some people wonder what is wrong with us. :happy: :happy:
  10. Check This Out, A Honda Rcvfrr 8 Jul 2013 23:44 I own a 05 cbr1000rr and have rode an rc51 enough to know some differences. First, whether it's spring rates or valving, the rc is harsh. It's setup for high speed action. The cbr is compliant with everyday conditions.…
  11. The Honda Vfr V4 Engine Sound Explained Visually! 16 May 2013 23:19 To the best of my memory, the pre 1986 models all had 360 degree cranks.

  13. Clutch Slave Leak 19 Mar 2013 22:18 I use a syringe to remove all the fluid from the master before removing the slave or a caliper. There's less mess to deal with. Just in case you are unaware: brake fluid will remove paint.
  14. Feeling Sorry For California Riders 4 Mar 2013 01:17 I rode all 5 bikes today. It was 72 degrees. The weather god is playing with us, though. It's still the first of March.
  15. 5th Gen Engine Modifications 9 Jan 2013 01:07 Sad story. This happens all to often in the performance industry. Cycles, cars, dragsters, you name it. It shows that lots of people have trusting souls. That is better than being an all out cynic. The difficult part is…
  16. R1 Suspension Upgrade For Christmas! (W/ Pics) 5 Jan 2013 01:32 Looks great. I hope you have an uneventful tour.
  17. Back on the VFR: 5th gen Givi side cases recommendation 26 Oct 2012 00:59 I have the 27's on mine with a large top case. I didn't want the extra width.
  18. 25 bikes 2 riders 9 wheels 10 Oct 2012 17:01 If the schedule for Colo Springs is doable, I'll be a drop by visitor. It's only 265 miles for me.

  20. Emancipation! 2 Oct 2012 00:14 Occasionally I wonder how you are doing. It's been long enough that I was wondering if you had a setback or you found new interests. I'm very pleased to see how you are doing. Best wishes to you and your family.
  21. New personal best! 26 Sep 2012 21:31 Polarbear, I live in a small town. It's a mile to the downtown area and 1/2 mile to work. The starter has been given a fabulous workout.

  26. Just broke down 19 Jun 2012 23:34 I soooo wanted to make smart comments about some old guy with bad lags standing in front of a truck because his bike wouldn't run. Because other people have seen fit to do this and I'm older, I chose to say: that's too…

  30. How old are our VFR owners? 6 May 2012 20:57 I wanted to vote in the poll but the warden in the care home just discovered I escaped again!
  31. Need to get my wife in the saddle 1 May 2012 01:18 I'm guessing she has a 27" inseam or less. Until she becomes comfortable, a rebel 250 is an excellent choice. I read the part that she doesn't want a 250. Does she want to learn and become a safe rider or does she have…
  32. How High Have You Gone 29 Jan 2012 13:53 2002 ZX12r, speed limited to 186. 2005 CBR1000rr reads 186 on the speedo. It's not that fast.

  40. VFR special 2 Mar 2011 02:58 Swingarm looks like cbr600rr unit.After 2007, they are black so it should be 03-06. Could be a 1000 but there isn't enough to see. Nice bike. I really appreciate someone making it their "own".
  41. 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade 11 Feb 2011 18:06 If you have an air regulator and some fittings and an old spark plug, you could make a leak down meter. That is a better test than a comp check in many ways. It won't tell you if the valve seals are bad but it will tell…
  42. CBR600RR triple clamp offset? 11 Feb 2011 17:57 I have a set of 08's in the garage. I can measure them if it will help anybody.

  45. What's wrong w/ this picture? 26 Jan 2011 23:10 I want a couple of those stickers. I'm starting a cafe racer project with 08 cbr600rr forks. That will be most fitting.
  46. My "track Use" Vfr 16 Jan 2011 18:04 I have a 600 f4 unit that I just weighted. This was with the axle, spindle, brake caliper and mount , chain adjusters and a little dirt. 16 lbs.
  47. 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade 13 Jan 2011 02:43 What sort of equipment have you got? Mill, lathe. tube benders, sheet metal brake, bead roller, sheet metal roller, tig, 6 paint guns, grinders, buffers, large air comp., Enough that I built dragsters from scratch and…
  48. 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade 13 Jan 2011 00:22 If you and I were close with the equipment in my garage and the combined enthusiasm for projects, we'd be quite entertaining. What's the final result to be?
