Very interesting! I tried a setup similar to that about 10 years ago. It didn't work out too well, but I must admit I never gave it much of a...
Yep, the more air pressure the worse things get. Run 0psi for best results!
Any pictures? You can shoot them to me in an email if that's easier. Thanks!
Nope, sorry, the cases have to be split to perform that repair. Bummer, I know.
Do a search for "fork cartridge emulator" and you should find everything you need to know on the subject. Yes, the forks need to be removed from...
That feeling is totally normal and the result of the damping rod construction of the forks. Pop in a set of emulators and that will go away and...
Nobody is really sure what Works did, but the net result is a shock that doesn't perform very well. You are correct, it's as simple as replacing...
Man, that is a nice looking bike. I hope you find the problem and get it going!
No, it's not just a setup issue. The valving uses shims and springs and check balls.... it's just stupid. You have to trash the whole thing and...
Just a word of advice: those Works shocks have some of the worst valving ever. I would suggest either looking for something else or have the...
Yes, Tom has done this before. It took a lot of work though. I'd say it would be easier to just plan on an engine removal at each valve...
The F frame has some clearance issues, but it can be done. One of the biggest concerns would be that once in place the R engine would not be able...
All of them! As I mentioned before this is exhaust design 101, but to give you a quick overview: In an inline-4 engine the exhaust gas pluses...
FYI - You must have unequal length primaries on a V engine. Lots of math involved here so I won't bore you with that. Just keep in mind that if...
Wow, kind of some misleading info here. The V65 (VF1100) and VF1000R engines are both Honda V4's but that's where the similarity ends. The whole...
The top mounts are the same for 84 F and 85-86 R models. The hose and adjustment cable is different, but that's it. Something else they have in...
Have you contacted the X-Pipe guy recently? I woldn't just assume they actually have that exhaust. The last time I talked to him (a couple of...
Hey David - just a follow up from our phone conversation earlier, that looks like a CBR600F2/3 shock from the picture.
Something to keep in mind is that the factory standard settings are probably not going to be any better than what you have now. As others have...
In fact, that is a pretty easy swap. Almost all of the motor mounts line up perfectly. A guy on the V4HondaBBS did that exact same swap a couple...
