Last year, my wife and I took a 7000 mile moto-camping trip to Gaspe, Quebec on our bikes (myself on a VFR800, my wife on a CBR600). After...
Took it on a test run, and the front brakes seem to feel pretty good. It's 40's today, so I didn't get real aggressive with the braking with cold...
A front lock-up is actually why I'm fightering it... was on the third day of a 2-week moto-camping trip and was paying more attention to my GPS...
I've gone and done something odd with my 5th-gen VFR, and now I'm a little concerned before I go take it on a test ride. I recently replaced...
I live in Wichita, KS, so probably not along your route, but if you happen through Kansas, you're welcome. If you head up to Nova Scotia, be sure...
Finally got around to writing it up. I rode my '95 VFR750 from Wichita, KS to Deadhorse, AK and back during July/August 2010. The bike did very...
Not sure if that's directed at me, but if it is, I think it's stock aside from the slip-on (two brothers). It did present a couple problems, in...

Very nice write-up!
Wichita, KS. I think it was in the 90s.
Not even the centerstand will necessarily hold up on hot asphalt: [img] The cases protected the fairings pretty well, the only scrape was...
I bought some cheap driving lights from Walmart and mounted them on my '95 VFR750. I was originally planning on mounting them somewhere above the...
I wouldn't think orientation would affect cooling performance, so long as the same side is facing the incoming airstream, and you keep the same...
Finished the side panniers! I really like the slide and lift mechanism, the cases come right off. [img] [img] [img] Plenty of...
Run a stiff wire through the vent hole and see where it comes out?
Good luck with that brijesh!
I couldn't work out a way to ratchet strap the wheel like I had planned, so I had my dad come over and sit on the bike while i pulled down on the...
When I was making it I thought I put it far enough away from the rear wheel for it to not be a problem, but I should check it. Here's more of a...
Racks built, now I just gotta paint them, and make the hardware to bolt to the cases. [img]
