    Is there a source for new brake rotors for an '86 VFR R,W&B? Just got the bike and totally love the thing. Need rotors and braided stainless brake lines.
    Also, how can I get the rear seat cowl to sit down closer to the rear fairing? Looks like the seat needs to be a bit lower? More items I need are the decal stripes on the fairing sections below the seat that say, "Interceptor."
    Thanks,

    I got stainless lines off ebay for about $100 worked great for about 6 years now..

    There are also some rotors on ebay but off the top of my head EBC 15-1001 is the correct one.

    Thank you. Do you happen to know which pads match those rotors? I don't know which compound is correct.

    They are the same diameter, but the stock thicknesses are different. The VFR rotors are thinner (5mm vs 6mm I think).
    If you put stock F2, VF1000F or VF750F rotors on, they can rub on the caliper brackets.

    Not 100%, but pretty damn sure VFR and 600 Hurricane rotors are the same.
