trmoyer Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I tinkered and ran through the “drill” checking out a possible R/R issue. Otherwise that was it...... No time to ride today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the original, just dark. I considered the double bubble but as I don't care for it's appearance and don't mind the airflow, stuck with the same shape. Bought it from PowerBronze thru eBay. Saw it, liked it so I watched it. A day later got a eBay offer from PowerBronze for $50 and free shipping. Done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After removing the bottom fairing fasteners one time I thought oh hell no...and broke out the credit card. It Mounts to the swingarm pivots and has a strap on the rear axle bolt to hold it level. It will also lift it in wheelie or stoppie mode. I'm highly impressed with the quality in addition to the design. It's $800 but I don't regret a penny! Demo video below (I'm not affiliated with Abba but I really do like "The winner takes it all") Thank you Billv45. I'm reaching for my wallet as I type. This would be a perfect self-gift with my COVID money. edit: I ordered my own yesterday. I can't wait to get my butt up off the garage floor. Thank you Billv45 for the inspiration. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer lazyeye Posted May 30, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted May 30, 2020 (technically yesterday). Picked it up from the shop. They did every bit of maintenance that a 38,000mile bike needs and it rides like a new machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a 2015 that the PO had cut the stock can in half and I'm considering a change. Also just up the road in Arvada. I was considering the 14" DL10.

4corsa Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I love my 14" Delkevic - makes the V4 sound glorious! Not too loud, especially when compared to the Arrow slip-ons installed on my Ducati S4R. I would not go shorter than the 14" version 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Resina Posted June 12, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted June 12, 2020 Well last days we had on the menu 😅 -new oil and filter and K&N air filter maintenance -removed CBS -assembled new Hel braided brake lines as well as stock VFR brake calipers drilled so to have all three pistons working at the same time and now I will deliver her Monday at the mechanic, so to have the used CBR 600 f4 front M/C I have bought rebuilt, as well as brake lines bleed, as I don't mess with that 😅 I can't seem to bolt back the screw highlighted in green, it's like if the screw thread which I believed existed inside the swing arm has vanished... or how does the screw holds to the swing arm so to keep the chain guard in place... many thanks for your help 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go out and have another look but I remember having a heck of a time getting that attached in the past. I'll update later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer lazyeye Posted June 17, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted June 17, 2020 Mounted new tires. My PR5s that I mounted in September and rode all fall/winter/spring on were shot (6100miles). Burned out the center of course, but that's what happens when you live in a valley and have to ride straight roads to get to the fun roads.

petarm Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi everybody, new to this forum but what I did today is get my 2000 VFR800Fi back on the road🙌 I purchased the bike 3years ago, always wanted to try a V4 engine but it needed some tlc so it’s done very little roadwork recently, but hopefully that’ll now change and my trusty Transalp can now have some much needed R&R for its 65000miles of diligent service. since getting the VFR, it’s needed tyres, new rear shock (Hagon), front forks service and EBC front rota’s. Time to stop spending and start riding. i hope to get lots of info on how to make the VFR better (read lighter!!) from this forum and will post bits and pieces I do if people are interested.
