well, this thread certainly got real scientific real quick...
Black striping is off the tail now.
Mufflers look like Kawasaki Z1000 take-offs. And they look amazing!
Shit, even if you bought all brand new Honda fairings for her, you would still come out ahead. How many miles?
I've been spouting for years that my bike is 525 lbs... Is the 460 the "dry" (read:pointless) weight??? With 5.25 gallons of gas on board, there's...
I personally hate cleaning my crabs. What a messy job. lol
It's likely that it's just one rotor that is getting warped. When I re-did my 1996 4G this winter, new rotors were on the menu as my right rotor...
Neither of you guys have an "R" model bike. A super quick Google search on "RC15 Honda" reveals that the bike is an 1983-1986 Honda VF750F.

[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Here are the tail number plates. What do you guys think? The RC36's lines don't really lend themselves to the shape...
So the only update to tell about is that I've installed the black number plate outlines as well as the old-school VFR 750F decals (which were way...
If you're asking how fast I've been on my bike, the answer would be 135 mph. No reason to push it harder.
Two bends, and a flared end on a mandrel tube bender? Yeah, any idiot can do that... Hardest part would be welding the spring mounts onto it...
I've also considered getting some sort of high mount mid-pipe fabbed up for my '96, but the right passenger footpeg bracket always seems to be the...
What are these cam gear dampeners you are all referring to? Keep in mind that the cam gears are all straight cut, so they are noisy from the get...
I just did a full repaint of my 1996 RC36, and found that the stripes ALL needed to be broadened because the RC36 is a much larger bike than the...
