Wow! I'm really sorry for that. No extended warranty? I'd be beyond pissed. You seem to have the know how and a level head. Better than me you are.

Nice! I'm not allowed to have big tools like that. I'd hurt myself.

Awesome thread. Excited to see the work start up again. I plan to do a similar project later this summer. Similar as in, CBR wheels on a VF700/750 and that's about it. Looks great though. Thanks for the motivation.

Awesome!!! I wanna do that to mine! Ah wait, I don't have a 5th gen

I'm military so I always have to have my ID at the ready. I've had good luck with an arm strap type ID holder usually used for runners. I leave it on my jacket while riding everywhere (helps to show it off it the police officer catches you) but it's never been an issue for over 6 years now and it's always visible for the gate guard on my left upper arm.

I've had friends who have had good luck with ICON's mil-spec vest which has a pocket for ID's on the chest.

Just some options I guess.

I asked this question a while ago, but my old login didn't work and couldn't find the replies.

Anyway, I am considering the F2 wheel conversion for my VF1000R. But, has anyone had any luck with wheel widening such as Kosman Specialities? It's not cheap but would keep the original look of the bike.

Also, I am having trouble finding good F2 front wheels. The rears are a little easier to find. This is my dilema. Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks

I can't help with your question because I've never widened a wheel but wouldn't that make an already really heavy wheel heavier? I'd say just hold out for a good F2 front and go that route unless you really love the stock look. Have you checked out the CBR forums and ebay?

Just a thought, would one of the GSXR, R6, Ninja Moto GP slip-ons work? They are shorter, have baffles (although small) and are relatively cheap and would look bad-ass mounted as duals. here's a link to one on ebay.

Wow! Awesome write up. I'm going to attempt this but with a few alterations to the undertray I think. We'll see how it goes. I do have a quesiton regarding the Devil pipes, what length and diameter are they? I assume they work well but I'd like to find pipes the same size as yours to make the system easy. I will be riding two up and I want to ensure I minimize the rubbing as much as possible. I don't know where I'll find a muffler guy to make the Y-pipe and mid-pipe but I'm sure there has to be someone who can help around the Boston area. Thanks again for all the detailed informaion.
