Member Contributer jaimev34 2 Posted May 24, 2010 Is that a fourth gen with a 3rd gen rear wheel, CBR600 bodywork in the front, and a 6th gen subframe and tail body work? Nice paint job and bike! Is there a thread for this build? Quote Link to comment

Is there a thread for this build? Thanks, and Veefer800Cancuk is correct and he did add the link to build. I used 8 different Honda bikes for this build. 3rd gen VFR, 4th gen VFR, 5th gen VFR, 6th Gen VFR, CBR 929, CBR F4i, CBR 600RR, and CBR 1000RR any questions, just PM me. It was a blast to build.

Member Contributer CornerCarver 898 Posted May 24, 2010 You use any front brake? I asked him about that Sunday when you guys were gearing up to leave. Even thought it might be a different brake pad compound between front and rear. Says he has the same brake pads front and rear but all I see is clean front wheel and brake dusty rear... I wonder if it is the oil he uses. :laughing6-hehe: Quote Link to comment

I am NO Brian or Doug, but I do carry some speed and use the front brakes 90% of the time. (I am still learning to ride). I guess I need to do some track days. I will look more into it.

Member Contributer CornerCarver 898 Posted May 24, 2010 Maybe the dust just sticks to the rear wheel beeter from chain lube spooge or some such thing and you have the front wheel well waxed after having it powder coated... I wouldn't fret, lose sleep or riding time worrying about it, you looked fine during our ride saturday, definately not locking upi the rear and backing it into the corners... Quote Link to comment

My rear wheel gets a lot more brake dust on it than the front, though I use my front brake 99.5% of the time. Don't know why, and brake pad wear is fine, so I ain't worried. Quote Link to comment
