Congrats on getting the bike. 

You guys are still in diaper's. 65 yrs here. I have more Ti in me then what's on the bike. 

Looking at these pictures make me miss my RC51. 

Dan had the bike repainted. To find that shade. You would have to look in a paint book. 

There is nothing wrong with white rims, no matter what Gen. 

If you're not losing coolant from the reservoir, and the white mist has stopped after about 5 minutes of riding. You're ok. The bike will produce the white mist until the whole exhaust is warmed up. When you have shut the bike off and restarted a few minutes later. In the short period of time. Your exhaust has cooled off and has to be warmed up again. If you have a coolant leak. The white mist would never stop, and or your oil would look like milk. Plus your reservoir would be losing level.

my guesses are either the picture was taken immediately after or the barricades and warning signs aren't visible (if they were visible in the photo, IMO they would be too close to the hazard to be effective).  of course, you'll always have a couple of people drive around barricades and warnings, get stuck or crash or whatever, and sue anyway...  

My guess would be that they have the road blocked off at the intersections on either side of the slide with detours posted.

What about the supercharger for the vfr? Dose that still around

To my knowledgedge. A&A Perf. no longer makes them. I had 2 of them, and sold both. Cog got one of them. 

It can be welded. Have to find someone who tig welds and knows what he is doing. Looks like that piece could be stainless.

Yes, I was surprised by the 5th gen omission as well. Wish I'd never sold my RC51...

Same here. Wish I would have hung on to my RC51 too. 

First road bike was a new 1973 Honda CL350 that I bought with change that I saved up. LOL . Started riding when I was 7 yrs old, 64 now. It helps when your brother is 11 yrs older. He's still riding at the age of 75. Over the years, I had about 23 bikes. 2 HD's that I hated, a Duc 851 SP that I bought as a basket case from a dentist who was trying to restore it and was over his head. Throw in a few Honda's, 2 Yammies, one I wish I would have kept. A TZ 350. A Kaw Z1R.  Had a 1975 CB400, and a 1990 CB1 400. Matched set. LOL Wish I would have kept my '03 RC51. 

Dirt bikes. 125cc Puch, 250 Bultaco Pursang, '74 400 CR Husky. 250 Elsinore. KTM 200. and a few others. 

Years ago when I was an auto mechanic. Used to have customers who lived in the mountains bring their vehicles in for repair. Nothing was off limits for mice. Wiring, hoses, filters, seats, insulation, carpet. You name it, they chewed on it.  Spent weeks rewiring, replacing hoses on one car. 

Had a girl came in and said the A/C fan would vibrate and smell really bad on high. Dropped the fan and cage down. Found a mouse in the fan cage, dead. It was all I could do to keep from puking my guts out cleaning that fan cage. He smelled really BAD!

Check other areas of the bike for damage. Mice can and will make a mess of things. I had them make a nest inside my air box. 

On my 6G. I used the SP1 lower tree with the SP1 lower bearing. I placed  a 3mm shim between the frame and the lower bearing race. The reason for the shim is. The SP1 bearing race is 3mm shorter in height then the VFR bearing race. The shim puts the race in the right place so that it isn't sitting too deep in the frame for the seal to work. The top bearing is the VFR bearing.

Missing the rest of the patch. "No Muff Too Tuff,  We dive at 5, Muff Dive Local 69"

RC51, SP1 bottom yoke.

954 top yoke.

Bottom bearing RC51, SP1. With a 3mm spacer between the frame and bearing race.

Top bearing, VFR

Forks, RC 51 SP1, SP2. I used the Ohlins from my SP2.

Front fender. SP2

Front rim. The SP2 is a 5 spoke. Matches the number of spokes on the rear. The SP1 is a 6 spoke.

You have to remove the steering stops on the bottom yoke. 

I've subscribed to Rider magazine for years. I even got their leather jacket when they offered a life time subscription.

Would love to see white wheels on a red VFR.

Thinking of picking up a 2014 or 2015.

I'm not sold on which color because to be honest it looks boring compared to my RWB but maybe if I paint the wheels the bike will look better to me.

White - i will paint wheels Black (looks more agressive to me)

Red - either black or white wheels

A pic of my current beauty!

Love the white wheels on the RWB. Mine is a little different then your's.

The down pipes remind me of my first bike,

I had one these. A 1975 model in red. Loved that bike. 

When I die. I'll still have my RWB. I can kick myself in the butt for selling to Cogswell my last A&A supercharger. Plus I should have never sold my RC51 either.

How you going tp pull the dents out?

Here's some pictures on my dent. Not as bad as your's. 

.

I agree!

Yeah you can. I dented my tank when I dropped my helmet on it. Got a dent puller from Harbor Freight. Pulled the dent right out. It took a couple of tries.
