    Used CBR929 pistons!!! Best bang for the buck! Takes it out to 837cc and tons more horsepower and torque!

    From the thread I found on VFRD, no one's actually made the 929 pistons work, yet. Lots of theories, but no proof that it will work (or the final compression ratio and displacement). Which means it sounds like a fun project to try. :)

    Yep the 86 is a pig too.

    This is my next bike. Well it is a bike that I bought new in 83.
    I started it today for the first time in 26 years.

    It doesn't weigh 500 Doesn't weigh 400 Probably low 300s. Yeah it only makes 59 horsepower but with a 55 mph speed limit who cares.

    At the risk of going ot....More racoons and mice. Coons are now deceased. Mice, who knows. New seat needed for sure. I'm probably going to 1" closed cell foam. When I started it, was puking gas so need a rebuild there. My battery is gone so probably going to a capacitor. It is kick start with cdi so battery is strictly optional. If you look real close you wil see my old air cooled RD 350. It too is getting close to running

    Fun per mile, Over the top.

    Buy my VFR with a 750.... Runs great. Weighs 500 pounds like was said. Cruises fine.
