Curious as to why the HID's weren't installed in the low beam positions?

That looks fantastic!!!

:ohmy: Holy cow! Glad you're mostly alright. It sounds like you'll heal up pretty quickly. The RCBVFR must live on!!!

Simply awesome. Congrats on making it all legit Toro.

I'm trying to pick sprockets and think I'll go with a 4:1 ratio. Some guys with eteks/perm132 go 5:1 up to 7:1. Other guys with smaller ADC motors go anywhere from 3.5:1 to 4.5:1. My motor is larger with more power, so 4:1 should be just right. I'm changing from 530 chain (#50) to #40 chain to make it more quiet. Sprocketspecialists have sprockets for me for under $100, and surpluscenter.com has sprockets and nickel chain.

Cool project. I'll be interested to see how it turns out. By any chance, have you thought about going to a belt drive instead of a chain? That would really keep your noise level down.

Man Larry, as close as you are to having this thing licked, you really should take a long hard look at buell's tensioners. I think it, or something very similar, would work to take up the little bit of slack.

By the way, that machined rear sprocket looks HAWT!

Fantastic write up! And what type of luggage is that? It looks similar to the OEM panniers.

Man, between this thread, the Hossack VFR thread, and the Torocharger thread, VFRd has been a goldmine of VFR modification info. :thumbsup:

Keep the updates coming!!

I can't say anything that has already been said. Like everybody else, I have really enjoyed your threads, your insight, and pictures of the great fabricating you've done. I was completely caught off guard when you mentioned the low side.

Whatever bike you get, don't forget to check in here from time to time. I think I can speak for everybody when I say that you will always be welcome at VFRD, no matter the bike.

Cool. So did you check the spring rate after you cut it? You know, just to see how close you got to the desired result.

If you posted the parts list and wiring diagram, one of my best buds is an EE at the local university...he oughtta be able to do the programming for me.

I'm not quit sure but I think it's borderline bouncy on the slow shaft speeds. You know, the under 30 MPH small consecutive bumps. A few more miles should help figure what the adjustment will be.

Thanks for listening.

I think its cool what you're doing. Keep up the good work.

One thing I'd like to mention (and I think folks already know this but the above quote sounds kinda confusing) is that when talking about high and low speed compression or rebound settings, the reference to speed is not the speed of the bike(i.e. 30 mph). It is the speed of the up and down travel of the fork/shock that matters. As an example, a sharp edged bump in the road would cause the fork to compress and extend rapidly, where as a frost heave or slow undulation in the pavement would cause the fork to travel up and down slowly.

That is COOL! 

I would love a parts list and assembly instructions.

Me too!!! Can I puleeeeze mooch off of you and your son's enginuity? :thumbsup:

Hopefully, I'll have a full write up on a retrofit for a 2002-2004 VFR to full HID, complete with pictures.

Looking forward to reading this one.
