True enough, but I think that if I was to do it again, I would remove the rear wheel. :smile:
yes, I should have done that in retrospect.
No worries, mate! :smile:
Not really, perhaps a fraction of a millimeter. You can bend the hose clamps in above the reservoir so that they do not impinge on the side of the...
BZ, The ballpeen hammer is in Seb's garage, not mine... :biggrin:
I guess my Ohlins installation this weekend can now be classified as a winter mod...
Lgn, Penske 8983. Double adjustable. This has proven to be an excellent shock, only got the Ohlins because it was only $50 more from Dan Kyle and...
Cool, let us know. Don't know if you saw my post yesterday about riding with the Ohlins, but it has a very plush feel. Not hard or harsh at all.
I agree...it does not seem to be a correct part no. for an Ohlins HO 801 shock...I had exactly the same concerns. Eddie's spring should have part...
Reg, a buddy of mine that came over to help me torque the shock link plate nuts said that the Ohlins looked quite a bit beefier than the Penske he...
Yes, NCB is correct, Eddie. Somethings amiss somewhere....I'm wondering if you have too much rebound...how fast does the rear come up when you...
Rode the VFR for about 20 miles today when it dried out. Out from Castro Valley east on Crow Canyon Rd to I-680, then south to 580, and 580 back...
Eddie, If that is 1/2" of static sag, then you are in the ballpark...that would be 12 mm approximately (1"=25 mm). You should have between 10 and...
Was at Hayward Honda yesterday...they have two 25th Anniversay VFRs on the showroom floor, asking $11,499 plus fees. Don't know if this is a good...

More pix... The Ohlins installed.... [IMG] A key photo....note how I routed the braided hose for the remote reservoir coming off the right side...
Seb, I moved it up high, but not that high. it certainly looks like it would provide more clearance between the hole in the swingarm and the...
No way! :rant: A lot of cursing and I noticed my skinned knuckles in the shower today. The collector being under the shock really makes things a...
Eddie, I think the 150 refers to the spring rate, 150 Newton-meters. This should be about right for your weight. I checked the VFR with my 170 N-m...
