what did you do to your vfr today?

RCSFH and 25 years old....glad you like it
Out here in Cali , no tags let alone no plate........can you say IMPOUND! ! but up and around the block, no problem.

 

Meh, that was two Saturday's actually, so two 6 packs. lol Couldn't salvage the ignition switch, ended up adapting an old CB750 switch cylinder mated to the VFR ignition body, so I have to carry 2 keys now.

 

Rode it Friday, and rode it again today.
No snow here, ever.
Have a look:

Need to clear coat the RWB tank after the fall. Painted the colors, but the cold weather caught me out.

 

Have mine stripped down for the winter after a December accident. Fork rebuild & 929 rear shock, new clutch, all new plastic, new instrument tree, new windscreen (anyone have a stock 5th gen windscreen they don't need?), new rear taillight lens.

 

I have one but the PO spray painted it black from the underside, so it is no longer clear. Looks good when facing head on, but is definitely not see through anymore. Yours if you want it, just pay postage.

Cheers

 

Installed Knight Designs lowered pegs, big difference, easier on the old carcass.


Adjusted Quick Shifter linkage and rear brake pedal including brake light switch.

 

Took the 94 for a 200km ride through the countryside in search of breakfast.

 

Not so much today, as it is snowing, but yesterday replaced a scratched up bar end weight and then put 160 miles on her through the mountains of Colorado. Also purchased a Nolan N91 due to my other modular's flip up mechanism breaking.

 

Awesome scenery. How cold was it? I be there in 5 years, getting out of dodge to retire

 

Yesterday it varied from 36º pre-ride to about 48º at the start. It got up to 68º at one point during the ride, but the skies were blue and the roads were clear, so that was all that mattered. Then today it was 30º and snowed most of the day. This was my third trip out on her this week, so I am being spoiled in February, not complaining though!

It truly is amazing scenery and I could not wish for a better place to ride. You should get up here sooner, rather than later before everyone discovers how beautiful it is and how great the roads are!

 

Cool, Was out today and met some guy that lives in Colorado Springs, came to SoCal to surf and rented a Kawi 636... so I turned him onto a great canyon ride. Rode my 84 Interceptor there in 86....great memories fer sure

 

Gave her a rest and drove the truck today. I rode her to work 13 of the last 15 days.

 

I made myself a wheel plug, and a hub slider.

 

I gave mine some exercise yesterday for the first time since mid November. She purred with gratitude. Likely to continue our romance later today. Maybe get right down to some hard core road sex.

 

How warm did it get?

 

14 C. (57 F) Right now it is 13 C (55) here. Was going to run some errands on the bike today but I needed the carrying capacity of the truck.

 

Installed "All Balls" stem bearings, changed fork oil, engine oil and filter and flushed brake and clutch fluid. Got to say the "All Balls" are a major difference best $30 I've spent in a long time.

 

Kinda makes me wonder , Why didn't the bike come new with some sort of plug to fill in that sidewasy facing rectum? You have a nice wheel. clearly visible. Appears they wanted it visible or they would not have egineered the single side swingarm. Then they leaave that ugly hole there for the world to see.

 

Well did this yesterday, but still relevant. Changed brake pads all round, fitted new ThurnMotor Sport, aluminium chain guard powdercoated in black. Makes a huge difference over stock. Fitted smoked front indicators and smoked rear LED taillight. Nearly there now, all I need is a high mount carbon fiber exhaust and she is all done! Pictures will follow soon
