Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted October 16, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted October 16, 2013 Progress is looking good. Don't mess around and just do both fork seals. You never know what the forks look like until you crack them open. The forks on the F2 weren't leaking, but the seals were rotted almost all the way through.

mcrwt644 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Detailed out the D and D can on the ends. Ran over the entire bike at about 800 rpms with a new 3M wool pad with Meguiar's cleaner/wax. Went over the bike again by hand with the same, then used Meguiar's Carnuba by hand on it to round it out. Still haven't been on the road yet, just up and down the street. A whopping mile on her since I got her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faire Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 IF I remember correctly, the 3rd GENs are about 50 lbs. heavier. Not quite. The biggest weight difference came from the exhaust. On the 3rd generation, the 4-into-1 manifold weighed a ton. You can swap out a 3rd generation exaust in its entirety with one from a 4th generation VFR to drop a lot of weight. ...and of course, one can always lose the stock Honda cans for something much lighter. Remember, the 3rd generation did not come with a center stand as standard, so there's some variability in weight claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ej90vfr Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nice bikes I saw a few vfr's in Winchester Va when I lived there a few years ago. Man that Eastern Salt really corroded the engine and exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted February 6, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted February 6, 2014 Looks good, really like the exhaust on that side of the bike ! Just need a fork brace on it and it would be perfect .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
