Bought some bodywork for my 97 from Dave (tireguyfromMA) and everything went extremely well. Sent me lots of pictures, answered my endless...
Here's what she looked like before. RIP VFR, too soon. [IMG] [IMG]
I have the same problem and I'm almost certain I know what it is: it's related to the speedometer drive, cable, or speedo input to the gauges. I...
Apittslife: That is a crazy story. I guess the crash wasn't really "bad" enough for me to think about getting seriously hurt, as silly as that...
I guess I'm doing ok today. Definitely beating myself up still over ruining such a great bike. I got really attached to it pretty quickly, it's...
It happened today. I probably shouldn't post this because I'm so upset I don't think I can handle any criticism, but I could use the support and...
I feel like this is a dumb question, but... Just got the bike and it came with a hepco-becker rack set (Part number: 650.158) that the previous...
I was hoping it would be that easy. Any way to tell if the fork tubes are bent without taking them off the bike?
Just picked up a 1997 VFR w/ ~4300 miles and rode it home this weekend. It's definitely been down sometime in the past (right break leaver and...
Free bump - did you find out if the later model tanklock fits? I'm looking to do the same thing right now while I search for pannier racks for...
Anyone try making their own braided brake lines? I imagine with the right tools it would be much cheaper than kits. I suppose brakes aren't to...
Those seem to be the only sizes offered by Pirelli, at least in the US. I opted for the 120/80-16 front and 130/70-18 rear. Will let everyone...
Yes, those sizes are for the Pirelli's only - I'm open to other options though. I have the BT45s on there now, but I'm looking for the stickiest...
I can't find a 140/80-18 rear. Options are: Rear (18 dia.): 120/80 120/90 130/70 140/70 Front: (16 dia.) 110/90 120/80 Just for reference,...
I searched first and couldn't find a good answer... I want to give the Pirelli Sport Demon tires a try, but the closest rear size I can find is...
Cleaning the carbs on my 85 vf700f and decided to take a look at the diaphragms while I had the carbs off. This pic is probably the worst one:...
I somewhat agree about heating rubber or parts holding fluid. But sometimes I've sacrificied some surrounding pieces to save the main part, not...
Thanks to all !!! All who have responded to my question. Yes, everything everyone mentioned will be gone over once I remove all the plastics. I...
Help my name is Pete and I'm an addict--of two wheels. Found and bought a 97 VFR that has very little miles & has been sitting most of it's life....
It does wiggle a bit on grooved pavement, but I'm not sure if tire type would completely resolve that. Tire profile and pressure might affect it...
