I swear that looks like my cousins old house! Is this south of Dayton? It was pretty miserable around here the week of the 4th, hope your trip was great nevertheless! -

Wow! That could just as easily be me & my bike in that picture! Well, except for the great lean angle. And the high gloss shine. And the rider being trim and in shape. But besides that, we're exactly the same! -
Damn... that is one beautiful bike! The forks, rearsets and Staintune? You've got it all!

I didn't re-read the entire thread, but I am pretty sure that Larry's bike is a RC45 and not a 5th gen. So the swingarms would not be swappable. Just my best guess.

That was a big concern of mine in the beginning. The whole reason I started looking at other bikes years ago was because of the inherent buzziness of the inline 4. I sure as heck didn't want that on my VFR, so I went with the BLS blocks. The V4 design is inherently smoother so it wasn't really an issue but I wanted to be sure. After I bought my 6th gen and it had the MRA version of the adjustables with a teeny tiny thin strip of rubber I realized it made very little difference whether I rode with my boots or just regular shoes. On my 7th gen, I just went with the Buells since they were cheap a

Just to clarify or expand on my previous post, I bought the BLS blocks for my 5th gen and loved them! My 6th gen came with the adjustable pegs. I would have bought a pair of blocks for my 7th gen, but no one ever visited BLS for him to make some. That left the Buel footpegs. *edited once I made it to a computer to be more descriptive.

I had the MRA version of those footpegs on my 6th gen. Hated them. While the ability to adjust them was nice, the fact is that they moved your foot out away from center. So when shifting gears or braking, you would have to point your toes towards the inside. Several missed shifts occurred because of that. I have the Buell footpegs on my 7th gen and love them. Here is the original post about the Buell footpegs I used: I think $45 is about what I spent too. <edit> Found them online: https://shop.newcastlehd.com/part/n05201ad - left https://sho

It's like a V4orgy!

Well thank goodness the flat happened in such a serene spot and not on a major highway!

A true milestone Randy! Congrats and keep the shiny side up for the next 200K.

This really is cool as can be. Do you have any pictures of the process?

I'm so glad you said that, my wife is literally sitting next to me and that is a nice little factoid to share with her to help win her over to giving me permission to buy the ECC!

Dude, how?! Downhill with a tailwind?!

View File 98-01 Honda VFR Service Manual | Optimized & Bookmarked This is the same manual that is already available here on VFRD. I have been using this so much lately that I went ahead and made it a little more useful for myself. I assumed that some other members might like to have it as well. Combined both files into one. Optimized the file size so that it is only 60 MB. Ran OCR text recognition to enable text searches on the entire book. Rotated pages that had landscape page diagram for ease of viewing.
