  1. Thanks for your confirmation on the fork parts. Why make your own bottom yoke though? Surely you could have used one from a CBR1000RR (or even 929 or 954) or RVT? Not criticising, just wondering if there's any reason and that I should look out for. Also, what preparation did you perform on the fork outers prior to spraying? Did you sand them down at all and/or use any primer? I've long wanted to find that colour for forks. Now I have to find a way to obtain that paint in the UK.
  2. Hey SEBSPEED, looks like you used CBR1000RR4/5 fork legs, what about the yokes/triple clamps? Top looks like CB1000R, yes? What about the bottom, same? Are your forks at 214mm spacing/width? Any problems with the rad and tyre clearance with those shorter forks?
  3. Anyone done a comparison of radiator sizes of the 750s. Quite a few 800 owners are interested in a single front rad conversion and the obvious candidate would appear to be a rad from the 750, but what are the sizes and inlet/outlet orientation of those models? Anyone got the dimensions handy?

    Asymmetric instruments lent themselves to mounting slightly to one side with iPhone beside them as Sat Nav etc. (Great Alpine trip bike). Also fit very well inside the Hornet 600 headlamp surround and screen.

    2912 FireBlade lower fairing splits just in front of exhaust headers, allowing the lower half to be used as belly pan.

    Naked Vfr

    There's quite a few of us in the process of converting, or have already converted a VFR into a naked roadster and I think there'd be a demand if Honda was to actually produce one. Sometimes I feel Honda don't have the ability to design an appealing naked, but then I see something like this and I am again convinced they can if they want. But why don't they want. I think this is great styling. Not perfect, but it's really good. Ticks the right boxes but manages to look sufficiently different to be interesting. I guess I still wouldn't want a VFR in that style though as it would of course be V-Tec and that's not something I'm interested in. Mind you, if they dropped V-Tec... A pre V-tec VFR800 done like that is where I'm heading with my project.
  24. Just a thought and ignoring the loss of gear position indication, what if you simply tell the bike it's in just one gear the whole time, like 3rd, or 4th or even top? How would the bike run? Anyone tried that?
  25. Resurrecting this thread as someone may know the answer to a question I have. Apart from the power restriction we know about, how else does the gear position affect the behaviour of the ECU? What would be the effect of modifying the wiring so that the ECU thought it was in e.g. 4th, all the time (apart from when in neutral of course)? Since we now know that some bikes have restrictions in 1, 2, 3 and 6, forcing the ECU to think it was always in fourth would prevent any restriction, but what other effect would that have? I've not been able to think of any other reason for the ECU to know what gear it is in. Anyone any ideas about this? Please ignore the fact that the gear position indicator would be useless as that's not relevant to what I'm trying to do. I just want to know if there would be any detrimental effect on how the ECU ran the engine.
