keny Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Today I had to switch to reserve @232km Petrol station was right up ahead; 12.2 litres went in, so make that 1:19 This time my riding was more the way I like it, so did not achieve the the same monster mileage as before. WPHB says the tank will hold 16.5liter Thats a good milage I think! Quote

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 8, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted July 8, 2015 You want the red one? Quote
keny Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 You want the red one? Yes please (even the black looks better ) Quote
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 8, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted July 8, 2015 If you prefer black http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-VF500F-VF1000F-CB1100F-CB750F-CB900F-CB1100F-TRAC-FRONT-FORK-DECAL-/191618722477? Guy in Spain makes them and is a prompt and pleasant guy to do business with. I asked fro 1 red and one black, but one can ofcourse order 2 in the same color. If you still want the red, I will post it tomorrow. PS: I send him my picture and told him it was ok to use. Quote
keny Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Nice, but lets see how the red fits (not that bad) THANKS! Does he make the lable for the TRAC adjuster knob also ? Quote

No reason to stop working. Today i wasn't working under a dry roof but on a roof. Not the right place when the rain pours down again. But job done !! Clothes are still wet. Quote

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 18, 2015 Author Member Contributer Posted August 18, 2015 They looked (and still sound) OK from the outside/what is visible with them mounted. but taken off, well euh..... Upon buying the bike, I had seen that a section had been patched but what is this on the iside? a mini db killer? The other muffler has small hole (already welded once?) facing the swingarm Stuff this hole with JB Weld? But facing inwards near the collector box... Hello Linda!!! Quote
Sweeper Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I think you need to trade Linda for a model with fewer miles. Quote
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted August 19, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 19, 2015 I had a girlfriend named Linda once. A lot less miles on her then.... Quote
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted August 19, 2015 Member Contributer Posted August 19, 2015 Dutchy, they are mild steel, prone to corrosion. The only company that makes a system for this bike that I could find was Predator Exhausts in the UK, they do a full system. Not sure if you can get originals anymore, they will just rust out again :( Looks like this & found pic before & after CBR600 wheel change Quote
