Rothmans 1986 VFR with restomod wheels / suspension.
The 1990 - 1993 VFR are harder to adapt rear bodywork to because of the frame design above the footpegs. Most people choose the 94 - 97 as it is...
When I got these (CAM GEAR TRAIN), I thought, "Well, they're for the CBR, but I like it anyway." [ATTACH] I never knew they put them on the JDM...
My Wife's JDM 1985 CB400T-III has this cool jewel-like red speed light in the triple clamp cap.
Or just unplug the one bullet connector? ;-)
The 11 digit VIN and the speed light both point heavily to it being a Japanese Domestic Market bike. 18/16 means very likely 1986 or 1987. The...
Friend of mine had a supercharged 1st gen Valkyrie for a while. Pretty fucking cool.
That my friend, was a score. Nice!
This is just a knee jerk observation... Are you sure you need "full choke"? Typically when I start mine, I start at full and dial it back pretty...
15wt is a bit too heavy imo. It will be harsh. 10 is about the sweet spot on stock damper rod forks on the 500. Sometimes I mix up a 8 to 9....
The alternator area is not sealed from the crankcase. There are air passages. It is normal to have a little oil in there when you pop the cover....
Why would you do that to Jim? Torment him with a new 86 tank for "reference". Lots of "help". HAH!! ;-)
I'm pretty sure I would employ that method on the stripe. Getting it perfect on the first "application" would be near impossible. Gonna have to...
So nice! Great job. I changed my radiator cover back to black. Just preferred it kinda disappearing in the there after a while. But I like it...
Suspension is always the best money spent on the performance of your VFR. Many alternatives on suspension. Suggest going to DMr Suspension and...
So, you've already upgraded all of the suspension then, right? ;-) Not worth the effort or money (for that particular system), imo. Likely...
I don't have time until lunch to read the whole post. Good job so far though. Have you tried pulling the starter button out? Not removing it,...
It's pretty expensive here too.
I think on that paint scheme, where its red and the upper white stripe is higher, the white looks better too. With the 86 scheme, it looked out...
Let me see if I can do some digging around this weekend. It might be a combo of factors that dictates which shield to use. They have different...
