[IMG] The pistons showing both ends. The one on the left shows the groove on the face (wonder what that's for), slightly protruding face, and...
Heh, no kidding. Latest update. Got the fork tubes apart, strangely there was no gunk at the bottom of the sliders, so I will just refill after...

Thanks for the tip; I've been looking through their site. I notice OEM parts are pretty expensive. I'm wondering if folks here use them to do a...
Well, for my front end work, I stopped in the local Honda shop to buy the paper shims that go between the brake rotors and the wheel. They wanted...
Just turned 60. My hands tend to fall asleep, but I've had that problem forever. My butt gets numb after a while. My real problem with the vfr is...
I guess I will have to ask my supplier to give me real bearings, not Chinese! Or is there a specific supplier that has the good stuff? I noticed...
Wow! I might trade to lose that much weight. However I'm not very interested if I can't get the yoshi sound down within reason or if it's a pain...
I have to do a fork seal replacement on my '87. Since there is oil all over and since the bike has almost 50k miles, I figure I will do all the...

Thank Senator Byrd, the King of Pork in Congress. You and I paid for those WVa roads. I'm still waiting to hear what all that corn-holing is...

Thanks for the tip. I will look for that when I get into the bike more. As it is now, I'd rather not tear it apart with some summer still left.
Yeah, my 2nd gen has too fast a throttle for my taste. Makes matching revs difficult on downshifts. There's no free lunch...
One problem with this setup is that the two 10A fuses are now in parallel with the 30A fuse. It's not clear how fuses act in parallel (does fuse...
On my VFR700 I have a gap there. I don't have a solo cowl but I'm guessing it is for that. I was trying to think of a way to fill the gap by...
Well, you can, but if you think about it, it puts a strain on things to have no slack there. It's like adjusting desmodromic valves to zero...
Your post is getting me motivated. :smile: I was looking around for information. Looks like a homemade manometer is not too difficult although...
