I found the LSL handlebar kit much more effective/comfortable than Gen-Mars or Heli-Bars- and I've used all 3 at various times on various VFRs. I also used various lowered pegs- "Little Shop", Knight Design Footpegs, and have ridden a bike with Buell (iirc) pegs). All were more comfortable than stock; but my preference was Knight Design because they are available in a wider base. Good luck, Walter

Pretty impressive!

Really nice work!

Yeah, and then being out of town on March 14th LOL

Can't figure out why it's doing that. Maybe a redo Merkel Replica

A Wayne Rainey replica, says DB. WR took over the VFR’s winning ways in 1987. Ace Honda factory mechanic Mike Velasco is building the V-four as we speak. Walter

BTW, I'd say that Honda Product Placement Dept. got schooled by Kawasaki- since it would have been a much more fitting choice as Cruise's bike. Not only the Interceptor connection, but the paint job would have fit right in with the jingoistic theme of the movie. Maybe Honda objected to having it ride strapped down on a truck for the big scene?

I might be mistaken, but it's a Mitsubishi item. Try bringing it to a dealer to match. BTW-- these pumps sometimes have notoriously short points life in KTM 950s (damhik lol) and folks in the Orange community usually replace the points with a Mosfet kit from a fellow in Greece called Dr. Bean. Something to keep in mind if the points go bad. Works great: I used them in my 950A, 950SM, and 950SE as well as some friends' bikes. You can also get replacement points from Amazon, but the Bean kit is only a few bucks more and it's essentially a permanent fix. Installation Instructions Dr, Bean Kit in action

Good looking bike & congrats on the rescue! Walter

As a former RC30 owner (58,000 miles), all I can say is, "what a waste". Walter

Late to the thread--- fantastic result!

Does anyone have specifications on the fuel pump? I've never opened a VF fp, but mechanical ones are pretty similar and maybe this would work. Coming from KTM 950s (had 3 of them of various types and put 130,000 miles on them) where short fuel pump points life is a fact of life, replacement points were readily available. Even better, a fellow from The Netherlands came up with a solution that eliminated the points and replaced them with a solid state solution that as far as I was concerned provided a lifetime solution, since I don't think I ever heard of a pump failing except for the points. Here's the thread on Advrider that discusses it. Dr. Bean's 950 fuel pump kits I used 3 of his kits on my bikes and would have no issue contacting him to see if the kit might work with VF fuel pumps. It does on Honda Africa Twins of older vintage. so there's a good chance it would work with VFs.

Anything to report back on this?

I suspect some of you would thoroughly enjoy the rides we (Sport Touring Motorcycle Club) do pretty much every Sunday from April-December. Info is here: STMC Web Site If you do decide to join for a ride, please follow the instructions here: JOINING STMC FOR A RIDE If it matters- there are about 10 VFRs of various vintages in the club. I've attached an example of a typical route- we did this on Sunday. Hope to meet some of you. Walter

I have a tentative interest in a 2nd gen 1200 DCT. Not much pickins' online; so wondering if anyone knows of any fs between Washington DC and Albany NY. thanks, Walter
