That's kinda what I'm talking about. Unfortunately that one needs a bit more for a decent, really profitable flip. But you could source a cheap 2002+ 5.5" inch wheel and get it running for a profit. EDIT: I think 1998+ are all the same wheel.

 

... or a really good parts bike?

 

Yeah... I just really hate doing that to a titled bike. It deserves a chance... without it's 8 spoke...

 

Yeah, I am NOT traveling to go pick up ANOTHER bike just yet!
Prolly IS a decent candidate though!!
Bad timing!!!

 

does that 2002 wheel need machining?

 

Yes and no. If you have the spindle apart out of the swingarm, you can change the rotor hardware to something that is flush on the wheel side. If not, you need to make reliefs for the bolts. Pictured is what I did. Wasn't too hard with a cylindrical grinding attachment on a 90 degree air tool.

 

looks like it sold

 

Unfortunately, yes. In the vein of "change for change's sake" my Galaxy S22 has a fingerprint reader on the screen as opposed to the backside fingerprint reader on my Galaxy S9 that was roughly 142x more intuitive. I recently ran an e-waste collection for work and recycled a bunch of phones and came across the Motorola Razer that I had when I was in my first year of college near two decades ago. I just kept flipping it in my hand and thinking about how much I loved that phone and how simple things were. Maybe I'm a luddite. Maybe it's nostalgia. Maybe it explains why I don't buy bikes with fuel injection. Who knows.

 

Rode out this morning on my FZ750
43 degrees but sunny

Nice 6!!
Less work more play today. Started with overhead surf and ended up finishing with a ride. It was nearly 70* today. I took the RVF up the canyon and back near sundown. I actually got the shock adjusting lock to release, so I took out nearly 10mm of preload..Wholly batshit, did that make the ride more comfortable and handle much better. I removed another 4mm once I got home, so I am looking forward to taking her out again.

 

Did you have to double-tap the zombie on the right after you took this pic? Glad you made it... you did... right?

 

Good catch Cap! Ha ha ha !
I have no idea what was going on next to me …

so its a JDM VFR400?

 

I think they all are (could be wrong). But a lot of them found their way to other countries on the grey market and got proper paperwork.

 

Straight from Japan RVF400. The kit was originally designed for the VFR400. I converted the upper stay to hold it and the is mainly bolt on. Lost some weight with the shortened alum subframe and kit. Might be about the lightest street going version you will find.
