Then it's a California bike. Are you in Cali or are you somewhere else in the U.S.? There might (if the prior owner didn't remove it) be a...
The 8th digit of the VIN can give a little information, on the U.S. shipped bikes Honda used "1" for the California "0" for the remaining 49-state...
Earplugs, always. 30 years flying airplanes, riding motorcycles, mowing lawns and building furniture... and I still have great hearing and no...
Looks like a good bike and the price you got was right on (I'm not good at haggling, so I'm jealous). I use nothing but Pro Honda HP coolant...
I don't know how you guys in the Magna community behave, but acting as if VFRs are immune to age is deeply ingrained here. This is why you can...
Funny that you mention the wheelie thing. It's ironic that the Magna/Sabre engine rotates opposite to the bike's wheels which is an engineering...
Wow, that's some counter-rotating goodness right there. Just one of the two discovered in that condition would have been an amazing find, but the...
We're here.
With your obvious fabrication skills (skillz? you are the same guy who did the VFR800-Honda 600 mash-up, right?) I'd think any and all...
I lived in Spokanistan for almost 20 years, never got out to the Spokane Raceway to watch an event. Always meant to but just too busy raising...
Thanks for the write up, I went through a similar thrash when I put tapered bearings in my Kawasaki. Gonna print your experience out and put it...
The Honda V4 heartbeat is part of what you're feeling, 1-0-1-0-0-1-0-1. One half of a flat-plane V8 (like a little Ferrari). It's a wonderful thing.
[IMG] I prefer hanging the bike in a movable frame. Depending on which area of the bike you're working on you can move the supports around on...
I changed the oil in my '99 VFR800... But when does an oil change ever end up being just an oil change? So I ended up washing and waxing the...
I recently purchased an old Vance & Hines exhaust cannister for my '99 5th Gen. It's their "S4" model and it looks very similar to yours, it's...
So it's definitely a California bike? Imported originally/directly into Cali by Honda? You're not just assuming it's a Cali bike because of the...
I'm gonna guess you're a proud member of the "never done a valve adjustment" club (I mean, judging from the state of your air filter, which would...
There's a thread around somewhere (either here or over at VFR Discussion) where guys are swapping in a Ducati 848 Evo rear wheel (a very nice,...
did you check to see if all (or even just some) of the missing parts wheren't simply stored away with the VFR800 in boxes in the storage unit?...
Imagining a Harley Davidson (the company) that suddenly (finally) gets its shit together in a way that is forward-looking rather than...
