Finally got a VFR

Took me four motorcycles to finally get to a VFR but I finally did. And I am grinning from ear to ear. Has the two brothers left side exhaust. Not sure about the wheel color yet. I like it in a moment... Love it the next... And so so minutes later.



Its in phenomenal condition. A 96. 20k on the odometer.

 

Nice bike,...Welcome
I personally like the wheels that color. ..

 

Thanks. Think I'll keep the color for awhile. Just ordered an upgraded r/r to get ahead of that problem. The forks and rear shock will be my next project, the are original and are a bit floaty currently. But that will be a bit down the road.Need to research the best budget replacement for the rear. I don't need some wazoo rear shock. I just cruise, no hard core sport riding.

 

I second the colour of the wheels. I am considering powder coating mine to that colour. I used to have a Silver 1996, and I swapped out the original shock for a CBR929 one. Nice find with the left side exit exhaust too. congrats

 

An 8 spoker would look tits with the left side pipe...just sayin.

 

Nice looking. I like the wheels as well!

 

An 8 spoker is on my list.... I'll be on the lookout.
Couple questions...
One. I need a parts number diagram or list for specific bolts... It's missing the left fairing bolt on the top next to the tank and handle bars. I know the list is around... Just don't want to order the wrong one out of ignorance
Two. A slip on. Should any one work? The left side exhaust is just a pipe from the header to the can. The can is it's own separate piece. I'm assuming the pipe was the special piece to make it left sided. :unsure: I might like another sound than the two brothers countermeasure 2.

 

:welcome: to the zoo lad :wave:
Good job for posting picture of your ride :thumb:
Ride safe and ATGATT...........!

 

Most online parts resellers have a parts fiche, I use Partzilla.com. Just look up your year/model and the general area the part would located I.e. Rear caliper and you should see an exploded view of the part(s) used in that part/area of the bike.

As far as exhaust cans, as long as the header or mid-pipe are meant to mate with the can I.e. Pipe O.D. ~ Can I.D. You should be able to use it, where and how to mount to the bike might have to be McGuyver'd.

Oh yeah, Welcome to The World!

Cheers

 

NICE!! I like the colour combo

 

VERY clean! As Paul sang, "It's a clean machine!"

Squishy ride....929 rear I know... But front forks, will a fork oil change do it or do I need to go further?
