I still peek under the sheets... Nice butt...

Finally received the front wheel from OZ. I have to reduce the left spacer by 5mm to center the wheel and then shim the calipers 5mm outwards and use longer bolts 8x40. The rim is from a 2007 up CBR600RR 20mm axle. Brembo Oro Rotors are also new.

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.

Hi all. I bought an 86 VFR 750 and an 89 VFR 400 last week at the Mecum auction in Las Vegas. The 750 has Super Trapp cans on it and I expect it will be approaching obnoxiously loud. Even if it's not loud they're kind of ugly. I won't see the bikes for about a month and I'm hoping to get a head start on what cans or exhaust I can install that looks better and is not overly loud. I'd go for an OEM takeoff connected to a new Delkevik or whatever (hopefully) comes out of this discussion. These bikes are going to my cabin on Great River Road in Northern MN on the Mississippi River. There's no cars, trucks or texters, just deer and turkeys to slam into ! We go for short cruises, 1/2 day or probably less than 200 miles, 2 or 3 times / year so I don't want to spend a lot and I'd like to avoid changing the entire exhaust on a 38 yr old bike. (But I will if needed.) These are my first Honda road bikes and I know nothing about them. I think the OEM system was a 4-2-1 that exited on the right side and someone put an aftermarket 2-1 on it. Maybe someone can recognize the 2-1 system and provide some input on it. The attached are the only pictures of the exhaust that Mecum provided. I definitely want to upgrade the appearance and get the dB to a reasonable level. I don't care about HP / torque, any exhaust change I do won't change those that much and if we really want HP we'll sit on something else. There's 4 190-200 HP bikes to choose from for that, LOL ! I have no idea about the current jetting, history or storage practices of the previous owner(s) so I plan on removing the carbs to make sure they're clean and jetted for my elevation, new exhaust system, etc. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Yep, totally agree, flush with fresh Dot 4 at least every 12mths. Treat new Dot 4 like it's Nitroglycerin, never shake it, if u drop a bottle it'll be full of micro bubbles, so best not to use it for a few days. Brand is irrelevant, Dot 4 is Dot 4 ... nasty toxic shit, use nitrile gloves, avoid latex, Dot 4 rots latex in minutes. Dot 4 destroys paint work, so best to cover bike as much as poss with a plastic sheet of some kind too. Use with caution, any spills, wash it off with lots of cold water. Personally I flush my clutch every 6mths, brakes every year.
