Cornerexit: are we talking off-the-shelf Öhlins or suited to your style, weight etc.? Next question would be where? I've had shocks made for me...
Strange how that's still the case on non-Öhlins suspended stock bikes. On the Triumph Tiger the stock stuff didn't even make it to 1000 miles.
Mine's seized again. The Honda dealer who replaced it under warranty is no longer a Honda dealer. My wife doesn't ride with me anymore so it's a...
Ridervfr, that's interesting info as VFR800's are bikes you see a lot here. In fact there was one I ran into often on my commute and that guy was...
Oh here it is. This pic was taken after a well-overdue wash after a particularly long time in winter and 6 years or 70k miles. Any rust on the...
Voify, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. I don't mind stamped steel or whatever material the ABS rings are: they should be less...
Yeah I know I know: the SS will eventually get contaminated for sure. For the record: I don't ride in snow if I can help it. But salt? Always...
Honda is so eager to sell this bike to anyone for cheap they will let you ride it if you insist I think. I know I wouldn't have bought one without...
I wish but my wife hates France. No idea why. Women huh? I don't like titanium ever since I drilled out 2 'titanium' bolts with a drill bit made...
You are of course correct. However, if the ABS rotor hadn't start rusting chances are the rest hadn't either. Rusty caliper bolts would be quite...
Rear disc: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Watch out as these are CBR1000RR rotor bolts and they are a little longer. The real tension...
Calipers: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I do have the stainless steel (SS from now on) banjos but I would rather wait a little and have SS brake lines installed as well. That'll happen...
A few pics are from last year and 8 months of winter have passed since then so it all looks a lot worse now. Before you think I'm dissing the...
Seems like not many - if any - VFR1200 owners seem to have this problem but here's a write-up of sorts anyway. A few pics perhaps to make things...
Forgot one. No obstruction, least amount of water possible getting in, etc. The connectors themselves are waterproof and the relay and ballast...
Seems to work. I've done quite a bit of soldering behind the left middle fairing so figured I'd mount this stuff in the right top fairing. Maybe...
Okay apologies for the late reply. My bike lift decided to crap out on me so I had to address that at the same time. Let me try this. First,...
Separate names with a comma.
