The "Hondaline" stand was the same one that was installed at the factory for other markets. I think the Canadian models came with them installed....
In Europe they did. Had to buy the kit in the US. Same thing with the 1990 - 93 VFR. And the clock.
NOT a Hondaline Center Stand. But a decent home brew or aftermarket. I have never seen one like that.
Cuz that's how you do it. Sometimes a rap with a real hammer using a wood block interface gives it the shock it needs. But I always start with...
I'd like to do a full bodywork swap on a 500 too. I have a bunch of parts saved up for a pretty sweet build, including a very unique 1/2 fairing.
Very cool. Couple notes.... I've seen some terrible "HRC" placements and that one is right up there. Wrong front rotors, so something's been...
OK. I'll work on digging them out this weekend. Pretty sure I know where they are. If it gets far into next week without me saying something,...
The dimensions for the 290 seem to compensate for your problem. Other 37MM forks the 238 were initially designed for may use damper rods with...
Give me a day or two to get out one of my "MISC FORK" boxes where I have some 500 damper rods already extracted. Also, the different height...
I noticed the FT500, which also has 37mm forks, also lists PD238. So it's not a one off mistake in the catalog. Doesn't mean it's not wrong....
Looks like I better crack some VFR forks apart. And dig out some 500 damper rods. I don't want to go thru this in the future when I do a 500 (...
Different preload spacers for the same pre-load. The YSS valves I bought for a 1986 VFR (not installed yet) that has 37mm forks as well, was...
It's been A LONG TIME since I installed the RT versions on my 500 race bike. But I don't believe there were spacers needed. I have read about...
Everybody focuses on the negative aspects of mouse piss.
I wouldn't run that tank, as is, into any rebuilt carbs. THAT is time and labor. Which is money. Keep rinsing and consider introducing some...
That shit is gonna break up and clog your filter. It won't be in your driveway. The filter catches everything... except for what it doesn't....
Never done it... just thought of it.
Banjo bolt with o-rings instead of crush washers. Lightly tighten down a nut to seal. Blow air into end of banjo bolt.
You could probably get the end a brake cleaner can straw started in the hole. You might be able to heat the straw a bit and give a bend right at...
Seems to me you could have lost that whole rear section. A non existent passenger doesn't need heel guards. [ATTACH]
