Veefer800Canuck Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Complete brake system rebuild, CeraKote calipers by Sebspeed, new seals and brake pads and lines, new clutch hydraulics, coolant flush and fill, and (re)ceramic coat the manky exhaust system. 9 Quote
Member Contributer Lorne Posted December 15, 2021 Member Contributer Posted December 15, 2021 The SP2 looks as good as ever, Rob. I look at a nice shop space like that and think 'I should have planned my life better?' My old girl needs that kind of attention, too, but an open carport isn't conducive to a teardown like that. 19 hours ago, Veefer800Canuck said: Complete brake system rebuild, CeraKote calipers by Sebspeed, new seals and brake pads and lines, new clutch hydraulics, coolant flush and fill, and (re)ceramic coat the manky exhaust system. 1 Quote

Thank you Sir. I spent a year totally rebuilding my garage. New concrete floor, doors, windows, electrical, lighting, heat, insulation and vapour barrier, sheathing and paint. 4 Quote

I finished building my shelves, moved in 3 workbenches and all my tools, and a ton of other stuff. that was still in the “during” phase, before I got everything sorted. Quote
Veefer800Canuck Posted December 19, 2021 Author Posted December 19, 2021 Got the exhaust all bolted up, now waiting on the brakes. Need more parts. 4 Quote
Veefer800Canuck Posted January 12, 2022 Author Posted January 12, 2022 Refinished calipers by Sebspeed. All new seals and one new (rear) piston will be installed prior to mounting. 6 Quote
Veefer800Canuck Posted February 2, 2022 Author Posted February 2, 2022 Finally got all my parts in. Will be assembling on my next days off. Still winter here, so… 9 Quote

Member Contributer Lorne Posted February 3, 2022 Member Contributer Posted February 3, 2022 How did I not notice until today that you have one of Honda's elusive testa rossa engines in your SP2 😉 Indeed, the rear cam cover can be seen peeking out in the 1st photo in your thread.

Member Contributer Lorne Posted March 15, 2022 Member Contributer Posted March 15, 2022 Congratulations on the resurrection of your lovely VFR. Now you've got me thinking that I ought to paint my callipers gold. They'll still be the standard 3-pot linked ones, but it'd perk up the front of my VFR nicely. After all, it is white/black much like yours. 1 Quote

Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted March 16, 2022 Member Contributer Posted March 16, 2022 Wow Veefer. Not only have I never had a bike that clean, I've never had a garage that warm. I guess a warm garage and four months of no riding allow you to do that. That's my excuse anyway. 😎 2 Quote

Brake fluid isn’t kind to paint. The ABS models have gold calipers and I've always liked that - adds some interest to the color scheme. At the risk of not keeping my 5th gen 100% stock, maybe doing the same on it could be a good wintertime project. Hmmm . . . 1 Quote
