I wish I was able to do that at home... I put that tire on right before heading to Tennessee for a week. I was halfway into the wear bars at 800-ish miles, and the left outer edge sipes disappeared at just over 1000mi. They were very, very fun miles... 😀

How nice to have access to those kind of facilities, and the skills to use them properly. Great job.

Finally found the rear wheel and purchased it yesterday. It is a OZ GASS RS-A 5.5" 7LBS. A savings of 7 pounds. Thanks to SEBSPEED for the spacers and caliper relocation kit. For sale brand new triple tree 45mm CBR900RR, rear wheel 2002 VFR800 and rear hub with a and 45 T sprocket. I have various parts for 6th gen and 2nd gen VFR700 AND 750.

Hey All, wanted to update everyone, although we tried to work around getting the minimum order in for the headers to get built, seems the builder had some orders in ahead of us. It doesn't mean they aren't getting made, just means we still had wait a little. But getting the minimum order in was still crucial, we are up next in the queue and will be reaching out to those who purchased them for the remaining balance and shipping cost. So hopefully you'll see a PM and/or an email real soon. Sorry for the long delay still but we're getting there, I know the wait is painful, but I'm sure the reward will be worth it! Cheers, D

Almost done been busy doing other things ie RRR. I did not install the additional item Seb sent me. It is used to keep the rear caliper from not moving a little front to back in the caliper hanger. The stock Ducati has movement built it to it also. I researched the forums regarding this and it is normal. Who uses the rear brakes anyway. I have not bleed the system yet and or replaced the rear master cylinder which I have. Also waiting for some black wheel and axle nuts and also a new master link. I had to cut two links off the chain so my wheelbase will probably be around 56.0". This should definitely help handling and also the swingarm is angled more ie which will increase ride height. I routed the rear brake line through the swingarm and used some grommets see pics. I also put some grease on the brake line so it can slide a bit and so the grommet can go in easily and not dry out which probably will not happens anyway. I will also be replacing the front with a OZ GASS RSA from a CBR600RR. I will need to buy some 296mm rotors 94 mm hub size 5mm thickness and 12.5mm dished to fit that wheel and shim the calipers inwards or go with 320mm rotors and go radial calipers or get a caliper bracket to use my 4 piston Nissins. I am not sure yet. The swingarm hub pin for the stand, swingarm rear hub adjuster spanner and axle nut tool were purchased on aliexpress. It took me a moment to figure out I had to remove links from the chain because I had too much slack. I had a senior moment.

I apologize I have not been active on the site for some time. I found this video on the restoration of not one but two VFRS. Once he got the first running the sound of the gear whine tugged on my heart and brought a tear to my eye, I do miss my 2000 VFR. Hopefully this is not a repeat, if so please feel free to remove this post. Please keep them on the road, they are all special!
