CandyRedRC46 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Why the 2014 header? Because you want to use the 2014 radiators?Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerAstridBears Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm going to try and attach a set of forks in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAstridBears Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 No, I bought the ZX-10R forks supposedly undamaged. Not the case, and only lucked out and got a 3rd ZX-10R fork with the complete opposite part damaged. The ZX-10Rs are exactly the same length as the VFRs. I bid on the GSX-Rs not expecting to win and got them really cheap. They are only about a 1/2 short. Didn't such a radical drop top triple clamp, but it was so affordable compared to other ones, I decided to go with it. And like how beefy it is. $250 compared to $400-$1000. I want to try and run bars. I also get to run Brembo Monobloc Calipers. Which I lucked out on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAstridBears Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Frame goes to powdercoating company this coming week of March 6th. Gloss Black. Cost? Free. Swing Arm is going to have a carbon-fiber over it similar to the BMW S1000RR Superbikes. Will only look trick. Will also incorporate a chain guard. The motor is going to be painted Gloss Black as well. A little nervous about tearing everything down to its basics. Bought a bunch of totes from Ollies for storage/organization. Paint for motor = 1. POR-15 method of $50/qt paint and three step process. 2. Duracoat? Jet Hot = Headers & Rims. In there polished form. When IDK. Cost =f $200-$300. Header needs cat cut off. An adapter or whatever to attach a muffler. Am using a Kawasaki Muffler to fit in place of cat. Or a Supertrapp Universal Muffler. Though looking at Motorcycle Mufflers, They are so simple. Would rather gut the cat, convert to muffler. Build a box to make it look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAstridBears Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ever since I've changed at least half my gearing, I've been happy with performance. But the Bio-Blade VFR only had the heads/ports polished and a new cam, and it jumped to 120HP. What cams? IDK. I'm going to attempt a ram-air build. Could add 10HP. Carbon-Fiber. The biggest hurdle is the bodywork/fairings. Im going to build from scratch using Kydex & Carbon-Fiber. But I might have to carve the forms out of foam or clay. Rear subframe & Brackets will be custom. The brackets connecting the rear subframe will be CNC machined. Building a prototype now. Make a drawing. Get the parts made.

CandyRedRC46 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The bio blade was tuned to run on ethanol= custom fuel & ignition mapping. Ethanol has very high effective octane, allowing for very aggressive ignition mapping. Custom cams can be reground by any competent cam company. Both Mohawk and Highsidenz had their cams reground to rc45 plus a little more specs. The heads were ported and polished, plus milled for some added compression. Don't forget the bioblade had a full custom akrapovic exhaust. To make the power you are taking about, you are going to need a performance header (35mm inner diameter primaries), not just a factory header with the cat cut off.

Member Contributer VFR800R Posted March 5, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 5, 2017 Make sure you measure the ZX-10R forks carefully for tube diameter. The CBR954RR triples are 50mm upper/54mm lower. I bought a 2011 ZX-10R fork to measure it hoping to use them in my 954 triples, and I think they were 50mm upper/55mm lower. It would be bad to force the lower triple onto the 55mm fork... Good luck! Lacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PanzerAstridBears Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Let me say this first off. Thanks for any input, suggestions or corrections that you post. I need the help. I thought I knew everything, till I was fired and shown the door. Ha. Yes, that is a Mach Z1000 in the background. Just got it. What a beast! Notorious for exploding engines though. It needs to go the local dealership to read the BUD (or something). And my VFR is taking priority. Plus my SKI-DOO Home boys are going back to Canada again, so no help there. Exhaust? I didnt know that a performance exhaust existed. I've been looking but coming up empty. Guess I should checked on VFRD more. So IDK. Performance/Mods/HP? My cousin keeps me in check. Ever since I changed the gearing I've been real happy with the performance. Especially when I REV her up. And I try to keep reminding myself it's fast enough to go to jail.

PanzerAstridBears Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Here's where I do need some help. Everything I'm going to need to run the 954 stem. Bearings, etc ... And I need to change out my frictions and steels. Was planning on OEM Honda. Is that what everyone else uses? Or Barnetts. I've always tried to use OEM when it comes to Honda. Always fit better, work better. But clutch plates, IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAstridBears Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 I finally bought my Brembo calipers. And I'm ordering bolts for the front end from pro bolt usa. Progress has been slower than I like, but I just got back from Phoenix, AZ and fun in the sun. And freezing to death at night. A close friend of mine was murdered in PHX last year, and seeing everyone and dealing with it all felt like a 2x4 to the side of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted March 9, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 9, 2017 Sorry to hear about your friend. I replaced my clutch frictions and springs a few years ago. When I took out the old ones they were just over 92,250 miles. That's a lot, but they still looked fine. I measured them singly and as a stack, and couldn't see an appreciable difference. Same with springs. I replaced with Honda parts because there was nothing to suggest the OE parts were not up to the task. Steels were completely fine. I only replaced them because I had scraped up the cover years ago and was finally going to put on a new one. I used to work part time in a bike shop that dealt with a lot of streetbike squids, and I've seen worn out friction plates and blued steels. Maybe if you're out doing wheelies and burn outs every week at bike night you'd need to replace them, but if not you may not need anything.

So IDK.The only real performance headers made for the VFR800 were made by Two Brothers Racing and Erion Racing about 15 years ago. Not very many were made and they are highly sought after. Nevertheless, they do pop up for sale once or twice a year and when they do, its a big deal. I had to troll the forums for a few years before I found a set and adapted them to my sixth gen.
