In Oz, total loss refers to a lack of an alternator for weight or cornering advantage. My guess is that the bike has no charging system. Charge...
Nice bike and well deserved win. They obviously know class when they see it.
I don't think it would make much difference. The same oil pump is used on the CB900F, CB1100F, CB1100R, with the 1100R having an oil cooler abour...
Thanks Jamie, I have a NOS set of 85/86 VF1000F (VF1000F2 Boldor not released in the US) crankcases and the liners are (obviously) new. I can get...
Are the bore (cylinder liners) removable and replaceable on the VF1000R's? If so are they wet liners and is it an engineering job? Thanks.

The best bit is the VFR750 mirrors stick out about an inch or more further than the originals - I can see more than my elbows with them.
Thanks Jamie, I've already put a new pump in and will bookmark the site for the future. How long do water pumps normally last on these? Or is that...
I have coolant coming out of my water pump (dripping off the bottom) which looks like it is coming from the little (witness?) hole on the...
Thanks for the reply. I think that is a good option but I was looking for something which could be molded into shape and hold that shape to come...
On my 85 1000R the rubber heat shield under the airbox and in front of the carbies is falling to bits. Has anyone come up with an alternative?
I have a NOS set of mufflers but they were not very cheap to start with and the postage to canada would be pricey.
Snap, same ones I got for my 84 VF1000R - I think I ordered the ones for a 92 VFR750 as there was no listing for a 1000R.
I have a 06 bird, taken out of the box in March 09, just done 5000km. I don't have any problems with the bike other than the mindless grunt...
Thanks for the photo captain. I looked at the vrf750 ones and the plastic aerodynamic shell looks to be the same part number (embossed underneath)...
Well, I am 48 so it must be much older than that - I am guessing over 60, maybe 65?
I picked up a couple of NOS VFR750 mirrors on Saturday and they will fit fine- slight diff but ok to install. They do have at least an inch more...
Please define "older".
I have been looking for alternative mirrors for the 1000R's. For authenticiry I have a NOS set put aside for the 84 model, but for the 85 model I...
I am not sure about the first part of your post squirrel, but as far as speed goes I have no idea. We have lots of speed cameras, patrol cars,...
