  1. I would do internal matting for the lowers if you are purchasing them. Fnd the heat resistant matting (they are thinner than the rest, just make sure you measure & cut, before placing, you get one shot lol). If not used, when you paint, it will eventually bubble. I rode with mine for about a year, then the paint started bubbling near the exhaust areas. The bodies are a tad tighter than stock; some places at 1/8"-3/8's. The holes you need are located, but not pre-drilled, and some 'tabs for fitment', may need to be thinned up, or deleted for access to other parts. You sound handy enough 😉 good luck broda
  2. Heads up on Airtech. They are nice, BUT, make sure you have cutting tools, fiberglass drill bits & dremel tools handy. Depending on what you ordered, they will also need brackets made, or purchase to fit mounting hardware. Airtech is a wrap, replica, of the original shape (as you see after its been mounted) you will need to drill holes, possibly look into dzus fasteners for mounting.
  3. As many as i've had, and more that ive worked on, never seen low compression on any... i'm maybe bad threads in the hole for the plug?
  4. Love mine, always have. Worth the wait. I had a garage full of 90-93 ONLY (13 to be exact), i got spooked one day (personal reasons) and sold all off except for my original '90, and a couple of very low mile (10k) motors in bags. I've never done 'A' valve adjust in the entire time i've 'flogged' it... OR done a compression check. I have ALWAYS, used 2-stroke oil in my fuel *couple of caps on each tank* and will never change that philosophy till I'm dead n gone. Whatever you do with her, have fun, enjoy her, and remember... battery, stator, reg/rect, float adjust, fuel lines, jetting. I've never had anything major happen, still have same plugs I've been running for seven years now... commons are chain n sprockets, tires, fork seals, brake blood, clutch... my friends all call mine the 'cockroach' - it'll never die, but its been with me for so long, its not going anywhere. EVERYONE has moved onto one new bike or several since I've had mine, and she still lives w/o missing a beat. Voice 020_sd.m4a
  5. dude lol... long time no chat. where in oregon are you at? i have been within 90 miles for a while... get a hold of me.. we'll chat.

  6. that is in fact miles. mobil 1 10-40 4T i followed a chart from someone... i'll look for it...
  7. wanna hear something sick? the only, things that i've done to the original vfr that i started with, are: reg/rect (3x's), stator 1, couple batteries, few clutches, numerous tires, synched the carbs a couple times, *have thought about adjusting the valves one day*, tires 3x's a year for 5 years running, brake pads, pazzo levers, braided race lines, shes not pretty like she used to be. Been hit 3x's (ol timers think i'm a parking spot), wrecked once, Each time near completion of paint. replaced the forks (even after swapping shims) because of slop. uhm, thermostat twice, temp sensor twice, i am on my 6th set of grips lol. The motor is the very same, internally. jets, needles, valves, all stock. I do run 2 stroke synthetic in my fuel on every tank
  8. I just hit 229,000 on my 1990 vfr before xmas...
  9. i was told by viffer93 couple years ago, to get a Factory Pro jet kit. i still haven't done it, but i have had this issue. your electronics grounded good? reg/rect, stator? I sent you a pm with my number. Use it and I'll be in touch as soon as I get home. Tag
  10. what's the question? how many lights there are? I just went out and turned my key to try and understand the question? I don't get it.
  11. love the 3rd gen no matter how tattered they still have that 'zing'.
  12. Sync carbs - adjust fuel mixture & float level. Viffers are finicky this way, but when dialed ... weehaa need help? holla via pm. Process but worth it.
  13. Mmhmm love that thing long live the 3rd gen's !! Kudos on purchase
  14. I would do a 'benefit the volunteers tribute bike' you could get sponsors ;-) less out of pocket, if ANY COST, better assistance in getting the project done from start to finish, more information including legalities AND experience. This will help in another, more personal project. * make friends not enemies *
