    Hey i ride a RVF and my bike has some serious work needed the left and right panels are cracked and the seat cowl also has some damage . the speedo doesn't work but the rev counter does. my back brake caliper was ripped of by my tire when it exploded and the part were it was attached doesn't exist anymore. got some tires on the bike and went for a ride yesterday. everything still works perfect the gears the clutch the motor even all the lights .

    what must i do ? what would you do?

    should i get a tyga kit or can other honda kits be fitted easier.

    please help a fellow V4 rider

    Hello and welcome to the forum! We have several RSA members on here. So your rear brake caliper "exploded?" Yowzer....never heard of that! I am not sure what exact model that you have....can you be more descriptive? Us yanks (Americans) don't always get all of the models that Europe, Asia, and other countries do. Pictures would be most helpful as well.

    A good bodyshop should be able to fix your plastic if it's not too far gone (this should be cheaper than buying new). Post some pics of it so that we can make a determination.
