https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/discover/VFRDiscussion - All ActivityenAdditional RDW inspection? You plan to let your bike to be inspected by RDW? And you would also do that after delinking the brakes? ... Nevermind, I earlier missed the part that you want to 'register' the bike in the Netherlands.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 09:10:03 +0000yeah, blame the wife..... sure pal, we believe youSat, 07 Mar 2026 07:26:26 +0000Going to give this flexible filler a go. I could have used regular filler (cheaper) but with all the work going into this a guy might as well limit problems down the road.Sat, 07 Mar 2026 02:41:02 +0000Get in there! Thumbs up.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 22:48:52 +0000Just a little bit last night. I pulled the clutches and they look great. I got the left heated grip and Throttlemeister bar end installed. I use a liberal amount of epoxy to install heated grips. I also lightly scratch up the inside of the grip and lightly draw a a few streaks with a dremel grinding wheel across the handlebar to in case that helps the expoxy have little places to pool. it was late enough and I was satisfied enough that I let the right side wait for today.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:57:45 +0000Bought a new TomTom unit. It came with a RAMmount kit... Away ta fuck pals! I know, I know... no GunsPoliticsReligion here.... After throwing away a pin I wore since 1993, I also "modded" my winterjacket... The world is bang out of order... Pun intended.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:46:19 +0000I use a tiewrap...Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:40:58 +0000Try the Netherlands for damp....Fri, 06 Mar 2026 18:40:19 +0000That's like the 3rd Gen was designed to do. I amazingly couldn't find a single pic on the webs with them folded into the tray. You unbolt them, slide them together on the shaft and rotate them forward into the tray.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:02:02 +0000I was expecting them to still be on the mounting pegs, and just swiveling down flat, no?Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:31:59 +0000I see! I wonder if there is room to align the two holes and secure them together? Might make a better package for bumps and vibration? Thanks for the pic.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:28:15 +0000Haha, I wasn't too worried about it, doesn't look like anything past a couple scratches anyway and is to be expected on a 19 year old bike.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 15:14:37 +0000That's clever! Better than putting them in the garage and potentially losing them. I don't think my user manual would survive if kept under the seat in our damp climate here!Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:49:14 +0000Just for clarity, she was dropped in the driveway by Florida owners wife on the right side. The left side drop was pulling out of a hotel parking lot that was way off camber. I won't mention the rider (not me) to protect his reputation. All that to make clear that the bike has not been wrecked.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 14:34:22 +0000McGyvered this 6 years ago when I got her. It needs a bit more now I will leave the spare header+box sey in the attic a bit longer. Fingers xssed!Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:24:34 +0000Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:19:41 +0000Forks apart for inspection and refresh. Way over sprung for my weight. Andreani folks says the 10.3 springs with the kit are for 230lb rider or more. Yikes !!Fri, 06 Mar 2026 02:52:15 +0000Click on Sweepers profile picture and that's the same motorbike.Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:21 +0000Good fortune! Long story short I'm really the 2nd owner as the "real" 2nd owners didn't ride it, or know anything about motorcycles at all. They DID have the generosity to have it serviced back in August when they decided to sell it. So I got a recently serviced 4.4k mile 1998 rc46 for 5.2k. truly a wonderful stroke of luck. See how long it takes for me to drop it.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 23:43:15 +0000We are aware of the 3rd Gen sliding in on the shaft and rotating forward into the tray. Your comment above when we were discussing a 4th Gen is what caused the confusion. I'm not 100% sure what we are exactly talking about anymore.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:19:15 +0000I had in mind to paint her in the VF1000R rwb scheme but never wanted to tear her down that long.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:05:25 +0000A warm welcome. The UK must have some special filters now though as your pictures are ' content not viewable in your region'. I'll just imagine you have an excellent find.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:50:00 +0000The 3rd gens (1990-93) maybe, 4th gens (1994-97) no. I will take a picture in the morning.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 18:35:39 +0000While this won't directly affect me as I have eliminated my passenger pegs, I have never read or seen this info regarding a 4th Gen. Somebody being clever? Doesn't feel like it was purposely engineered that way like the 3rd Gen. Please somebody snap a pic.Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:33:12 +0000Woah woah....the grab rails on a 4th gen will fit under the seat if you bolt them on upside down? I never knew! I thought it was only the third gen that folded away. Wow!Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:09:12 +0000
