Member Contributer slo1 Posted December 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 17, 2022 As many of you know, it's rough when the kids leave the nest. The Tyga VFR was built over several years, with the finishing touches (wheels/rearsets) done by a friend who helped get the Tyga 4th gen stuff made. He is now in full possession of it and I don't see it ever returning to my garage. There are still two 4th gens, and a 5th, but this was pretty special.

Member Contributer Hingley Posted December 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 17, 2022 Now that is very nice indeed, I did not think Red and Gold would go together but they do here And that exhaust piping and can are one of the best left handers I have seen, most of the others I have seen are positioned down way too far, this one reminds me of the RC30 Wish to hell it was in my garage in between the 1990 and 1999, that would be just about right for a bucket list item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted December 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 17, 2022 I've heard it makes it a little easier when you know the new home and and it's a good one.

Member Contributer Hingley Posted December 17, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 17, 2022 I was just on the TYGA Webbsite Thank god they do not have a left hand exhaust system and other components for the 3rd Gen ( 90-93 ) I could see my self getting weak, fast, with the credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, so verify before breaking out the credit card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted December 19, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 19, 2022 Yes, the block and heads are the same, so the exhausts do interchange, but you need to fit all the bits together--mix 'n match doesn't work. I actually have a TBR 4th gen header on my 3rd gen VFR. It fits fine, but I had to space the center stand bracket down 30mm or so to clear the main pipe. (Which wasn't a problem, because I also flipped the eccentric and raised the rear ride height a similar amount...) Ciao, JZH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted December 21, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted December 21, 2022 A Sebring LHS system for the 3rd gen will NOT fit a 4th gen outright. The 4th gen's mounting points for the centre stand are in the way/need grinding of. Don't ask how I found out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sebring's mounting design is a bit poor) By the way, Sebring cans are LOUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have said that 4th gen systems will fit on 3rd gen bikes? Having to lose the center stand permanently would be a fairly drastic modification...

Ciao, JZH Well.... that was a LEFT exit system. I was comparing my 92 and 95 the other night. I think I'll pull out my TBR Left exit for the 92 and see how it fits up on the 95. If I had my 92 stock exhaust off I would do some direct comparisons, as I have my 95 system off right now for some work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
