IMHO, I'd spent my time/money on the OEM Honda parts and not buy parts from eBay. That way I'm sure I've got the proper size seals for my bike. And unless the caliper square seals are leaking, I'd remove the pistons to clean the ports (paying close attention to the fluid return orifice) and reassemble with the original seals.

In short, yes, car oil (I have 1st hand experience with automotive Mobile 1) can cause clutch slippage.

Negative, this was a freeze frame from a video taken in Kansas by fellow VFRDer Lee2002.

So I'm SOL on selling my bike? Lol

I'm in KC and actually test rode a 6th gen at Reno's before I pulled the trigger on my VFR. I don't have any experience with the 7th gen but I'd be happy to go look at it for you. Do you have any certain items that you'd like inspected?

If it's not too late, I'd be willing to buy it back from you for what you buy it back from the insurance company, plus some for your time. I have a truck and trailer and can met you wherever is convenient for you. Shoot me a PM if your open to this idea. On a side note, I really don't like to hear of 6th gens being stolen in the KC area since that's where my bikes operates most of the time.

Also looks like I might have an extra bed as well.

Debbie called me this morning, and I am not on the waiting list any longer as I have room reserved. I'm pretty sure Panamawing got a similar call since he would have been in front of me on the waiting list. See y'all in a week.

Both forks work together and perform the same functions. I don't think they started changing fork purpose until more recently.

I'm looking for a roomie. I'll be getting in Thursday evening sometime and will be leaving Sunday. I haven't made my reservation yet, but will by the Sep close-out.

Terry, I'm not much of a drinker, but I occasionally partake in a Mike's Hard Lemonade or the like. A 6-pack lasts me close to a year. But just to give you an idea of the accommodations, I'll attach a pic of the garage. The spot I'd think you'd prefer is upstairs and unfinished, but the toilet is downstairs, so it's up to you. Hopefully there will be more green than white while you're here!

I'll be leaving KC sometime on Thursday, so will arrive in AR Thursday afternoon/evening sometime. I'd be open the the sharing a room with someone anyone if up for it. MaxSwell, you're welcome to hang out here at my place on your way to and fro if it works for you. I don't have an actual spare bedroom, but I've got a private dry spot to lay down a sleeping bag, along with a toilet and sink and plenty of room for the bike to sleep inside as well.

I'm up for pitching in cash or a ride to the store to pick up whatever is still needed.

It looks like the collar that would go inside a grommet. Maybe a piece of cowling, or maybe the tank hold down bolts is missing one.

Are who back? I never left. Are you back yet from buying this 5th gen?
