Member Contributer JZH Posted January 28, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 28, 2022 Well, just for the pedants among us...the ROW 3rd gen red in 1993 was R-158P, the same red as the US 4th gens. My UK-spec '93 is that colour. However, I also have a US-spec '90 in parts, and have a full set of NOS R-157 plastics as well as a couple of tanks and I'd have to say that you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the R-157 and R-158 tanks. You try: Which one is the R-158P? Ciao, JZH Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted January 28, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 28, 2022 The one on the right. Quote
Member Contributer bmart Posted January 28, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 28, 2022 Right looks darker. Are the safety stickers also different? Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted January 28, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 28, 2022 158 has more pearl in it. The right one looks "deeper" Quote
DesertKyorugi Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 I am new to the VFR so I don't know much, but I think my R157 is the one on the left. The one on the right is darker Quote
DesertKyorugi Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Well, she runs beautifully. The rebuilt carbs went on easily with a little coaxing from the heat gun. Mixture screws out 2 turns with the #42 pilot and one shim. The gearbox is nice and smooth, no trouble getting to neutral. Now I just need to start electrolysis on the tank. Hopefully, I get to ride it soon 🤞🏼 PXL_20220128_202301037.mp4 2 Quote

I got some pieces in and I have 2 or 3 very promising options. I'm hoping to also install my carbs this weekend and verify the engine. And then I will hack off the muffler and start to fab up. Will update. 1 Quote

I have a local guy selling a Vance and Hines SS2R slip-on. $120 Supposedly from a 93 with all mounting hardware. Any good? Need rejet? Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted January 29, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 29, 2022 Its a quality unit. Your #42 pilots will compensate nicely. No need for bigger mains with a slip-on. If you like the looks and its in good shape, thats a good deal. 1 Quote

Member Contributer bmart Posted January 30, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 30, 2022 It is interesting. I knew what you were talking about, but never heard Yoshi. Only Yosh. Quote

Yoshimura is actually two words, Yoshi is good or lucky and mura is village or town. Yoshi is also the name of the cute dinosaur in Super Mario World. It's always been Yoshi in my Asian circle Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted January 30, 2022 Member Contributer Posted January 30, 2022 Oohhhhhhhh! Hah! Sorry, I'm an idiot. I knew you were talking about a pipe, I just totally forgot that's why you were interested in an adapter. Cheers! Quote

Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted February 1, 2022 Member Contributer Posted February 1, 2022 Me and my friends will use either. Probably a little more Yoshi. Quote
