Yep, I am keeping her! I ordered a few items to freshen up the old girl for another great season of motorcycle riding.

2 sets of ebc hh pads for the front

1 set of honda pads for the rear complete with anti heat transfer asbestos pad

2 sets of honda fork seals and dust covers

2 bottles of race tech US1 fork oil, I tried other 5w oil this stuff seems to work better for my race tech valves

1 D.I.D. 530VM X'ring Chain & Steel Sprocket Kit - HONDA VFR 800F1 98-01

1 - Front Sprocket Size: 16

1 - Rear Sprocket Size: 45

Synthetic brake fluid - to bleed the brakes and clutch lines

So I have my work cut out for me come January, also going to remove my Ohlins shock to send out for repairs. Repairing the remote preload, and rebuild the seals change the oil, nitrogen charge. I should get some new plastics too and get my tank painted, rebuild the worn out foam on my seat and have it recovered by a professional ulpolstry shop. I need to have my Kanadian Ken 5th gen rack repaired too, its cracked and needs to be reinforced, great little rack!

Good and fine call HS. Have had a few fine bikes come and go through the barn here, but the 5th gen is a keeper. Let me know when you have her put back together. Retired back in Sept after 30 years of corp life. Fairly flexible for rides. :)

Looking good! I like the mods, but if you get new plastics and paint her then we won't be able to tell it's your bike! :)
