  1. Another great poster for the shop! I took the pdf file VFR History poster to STAPLES to have it printed out on a 20x30 high gloss poster grade paper, much thicker stock than normal paper. It came out all right, definitely lose some sharpness at 20x30, especially in the text area, but still a very good poster. The cost was $35USD for one, $31 each if you have two printed.
  2. Very COOL! Thanks to the OP for making this available. I'm gonna take the file to STAPLES to have printed out on high quality poster size paper.
  3. Time to clean out the basement! I have a assortment of 4th Gen (94 VFR750) internal engine parts, all in very good condition that I'm looking to get rid of. I really want them to go to someone who might be in need of these parts for future engine work, or that still has a 4th gen bike. I have a 98 VFR800 now, with the A&A Performance Supercharger..😁 THERMOSTAT ASSY OIL PUMP ASSY 15100-MZ7-000 CLUTCH BASKET ASSY (minus clutch plates) SET OF PISTONS 13101-MY7-010 FRONT CAM GEARS 14410-MT4-000 REAR CAM GEARS 14420-MT4-000
  4. I just installed a AllBalls bearing kit with seals in a 94vfr front wheel. Everything seemed to fit just perfectly! I'd buy them again
  5. Part of the overheating problem on the GL1800 was due to air pockets (air bound) left in the cooling system after coolant changes. In one of my Motorcycle Consumer News editions some guy invented a device just for bleeding the air out of Goldwing cooling systems using a venturi system (compressed air) to pull the air pockets out, very ingenious little system. We don't have the same problem on the VFR's, all the air seems to find it's way out the top without to much trouble. The 98 VTR fan 19020-mbb-003 is only $31. Not a big financial risk. I don't think it will make it run any hotter, so if it doesn't work I'm only out $31 bucks. I'm going for the multifaceted approach. I changed my coolant to Engine Ice, propelyne glycol based coolant, not a big difference if any at all. Changing my fan switch to come on at 195, and the VTR fan. I'll let you know how this works
  6. The carbon intake hat was designed to work with an intercooler and also to distribute the incoming air as evenly as possible. Whether or not the intercooler makes it to production, it has succeeded in the power producing department and is both lightweight and low-profile. I have been getting nearly 40mpg in normal mixed riding conditions. The only time I noticeably see a drop in mileage is performing flat-out dyno pulls or after a very hard day of sport riding. You should not be able to notice a difference in weight. The supercharger itself weighs only 6lbs, and the rest of the componentry is mainly aluminum. I will weigh the parts taken off the bike and compare them to the weight of the kit parts soon, as I know others have been wondering what the difference truly is. I currently only have a working map for the PCIII. The PCII can work, but I would first need to develop a map for it. Dan, your going to be the "Carroll Shelby" of the VFR's if your not already. After I saw this kit, talked to you on the phone, and reviewed the installation instructions, I eneded up selling my mint 4th gen to get a 5th gen....I had to get a VFR that I could put this kit on. Already started the SC fund. I'll be ready by spring of 2012.
  7. Part 2. The pistons are in perfect condition, come with all the rings , wrist pins and original paperwork from JE. If your serious about doing a VFR big bore kit these are the pistons you want. You can reach me at dtsouza2519@gmail.com. I also have a precision balanced crank for the same bike I'm looking to sell. Hope to hear from you soon . Dave

  8. Hi,

    I have a set of brand new pistons made by JE, short skirt, with anti friction coating that were made for a 94 VFR750 to bring the displacement to 836. I was getting ready to do exactly what you are doing and the engine builder I was using over bored right through the cylinder sleeve into the aluminum of the engine. Engine ruined! I'm now selling the pistons. Inter...
