what did you do to your vfr today?

I piped my VFR today. 2 Bros Black Series. Mods this year: Genmar Risers, Spencer saddle, plasti-dipped screen, pillion peg removal, mullet trim, PR4's . We're getting along better now.

 

Wanted to show you my tail bag. I love how convenient it is to carry stuff on this bike.


And here's my other bike. Both these motorcycles were manufactured in 2002. Both are good in their own way. Depends on my mood which one I ride.

 

New rubber... rear Pirelli Angel GT (finished off my ST last summer). Can't wait to try it!

 

Installed VFRness and Powerlet socket. Removing wire from starter solenoid connector was a pain, thought I was going to break it. They give you another starter connector in the kit just in case. Powerlet socket in steering stem hole just to cool, how convenient.

 

Rented a great motorcycle trailer from U-Haul (only $16/day), pulled the '83 VF750 out of storage and took her to the car wash. Don't normally like to use power wash, but we are talking at least 15 years of dust & dirt. Sprayed simple green on oily parts and rinsed with plain water. Then took her home to work on her. Have a lot on good used parts on the way, to fix all the nitty little problems.

 

Nice Trumpet.

 

No pictures of the 83 barn find? How much rat poop was on it? Mine had cat piss I think, blame sow. :wink:

 

blame sow.

 

well I got the Q3 tires but that for later in year, m5 are still good, Mr. Ceasar did pee on it

 

changed brake lever. Cause I was a fuggin idiot and did something real dumbass in the garage.

 

Say it ain't so. That means you have to go ad to that other thread ......

 

Not really a barn find, it was my own garage in upstate NY! When My wife and I split (amicably), she packed a container to be shipped to CA. I bought a shipping container to hold all the stuff, including my original '83. Got around to getting it cleaned up yesterday. More pictures later.

 

I got my stator back from Gary's custom rewind today

 

I stalled my vista cruise today. Can;t wait for it to be above freezing again so I can try it out.

Pictures, need to install one for my trip in July. What's the cost?

 

Mine was $29 shipped to Canada. Wasn't much to the installation. Had to cut off and sand the white plastic collar on the throttle to allow for install. Below are two pics of mine and a link to VFRD where another guy had pics from his installation.

Well, I just wrapped my motorcycle in a Captain America theme. Been meaning to do this since last summer and the timing was fortuitous, given the new movie coming out next weekend.

Thanks bud

 

Took the black 1.1 scooter for a 170km breakfast ride in perfect weather. Since that is an inline four I shouldn't mention it here but it was a magic morning for a ride.

When I got home the house was like the Mary Celeste. I immediately headed to the shed to continue my service on the red scooter.
Took off the radiator, changed front plugs for iridium densos.
Checked valve clearances- only one inlet out of spec at 0.11mm. Damn.
Dropped all coolant and power flushed engine with hose. I never realised the Honda coolant was a brown colour.
Flushed with distilled water.
Hosed out inside of radiator and sprayed out as many dead bugs and stuff as I could from fins.
Straightened all fins on the oil cooler. Radiator fin straightening coming up when eyes and fingers recover.

Now I just have to learn how to remove cams and I can adjust the one inlet valve.

 

I shimmed the rear shock 4mm. Looking forward to testing it out.
