Well, many people have shimmed their rear shock 8mm, which gives you steering geometry more radical than the RC51 fork swap does. zRoyz over...
Larry is the guy if you want to do the R1 forks on a 3rd gen. We spent a fair while discussing how to do this together a couple of years ago. The...
The RC51 "flat" top triple will be fine, but if you want to mount your clipons on top you will have to slide the forks up enough to attach them. I...
Correction: I paved the way for this mod after finding and researching some obscure and now lost reference to using CBR929 forks on a 5th gen, and...
Amok Time, because I am an even bigger geek and watched it during the Star Trek marathon on Space Channel.
Could be doing another single-nut spindle for my bike this year, which means I could put the original one in a spare VTEC swingarm along with a...
Spock called Kirk "Jim" in at least one episode. Threadjack over.
There are a couple of different ways to do this depending on what model VFR you have. '90-'97 VFR750 Both the Honda NC30/35 (VFR400) and...
Any interest in splitting the cost of that RVF spindle setup ? I could use the wheel on my bike. Rick

I used Aprilia RSV-R mirrors. They work great except you need to put some kind of convex stick-on mirror in the corner of them to see properly...
Although the spindle may fit in the VFR800 eccentric's bearing journals, I doubt it will be long enough on the sprocket side as the RVF does not...
Go northeast for about 1,000 miles and you're there
Nice, clean bike. There is a similar '95 in my area that is priced at only $2900 ($3,100 AUS / $2,700 US) that I would really like to secure...
Well, the RC30 used an 18" rear wheel so you probably don't want one of those. I think Carrozzeria will sell you their hub adapter for around...
Spray some penetrating oil or even WD-40 around it. Also, check to see if the hex bolt that secures the spud is still in or not.
Not sure how they are in Australia, but in North America the fifth gen VFR800 from '98-'01 is a bargain, usually the same price as the '94'-'97...
No changes in wheels from '98-'09. If you an ABS model, you will need to switch out the rotors that have the ABS sensor ring.
It's a set of Ohlins forks for an RC51, which is a fairly easy conversion with no real fabrication involved.
