Love the deep blue of these bikes.

Nice read. I put my 1997 vfr for sale last month but really thought about what I would be missing. Figured I would keep it for now and try to find some risers for the bars.

I was also torn between the 4th and 5th gen when deciding on a bike. It just happened that the 4th gen I ended up with was available locally and the seller brought it by my place. How could I say no?! I did like the styling better but think I would have been just as happy with the 5th gen as well. Edit: one more thing...I do find myself checking to see if any '86 red white and blue pop up from time to time. Those are lookers!

Doh! I was at the show today but missed this thread until just now of course. Would have liked to stopped by your booth to test things out. Very interesting. I recently bought a Sena 10C and was able to take it out and test once so far. I may have to jump in on this too.

So much time and thought put into this project Seb, and it turned out great. I'm a fan!

Seb, how much does this baby weigh?

Amazing job...the bike looks awesome.

Nice read. The Palisades Parkway is my usual route out of town.

Yes, thanks for checking. I did have some corrosion on the positive terminal. I looked it up and think you're right. The previous owner had already installed it. I don't know what happens if I leave the 30A in, but it will be best if I put it back to 20A as I found it. Again, thank you all for your time and input. It has been a great learning experience for me.

Just an update...I plugged in the battery, changed the fuse to 30A, cleaned the connectors and prayed it would turn on. LOL and it did! I'm guessing something was loose but I'm just glad she's back. Had to rev it up to celebrate since it had been a while.

Thank you zoomzoom and Dutchy. The confirmations and pictures help. I will look around some more, swap out the fuse and hook up the recharged battery and see how it goes.

Hello All, I hadn't taken the bike out in weeks and found it dead again today when attempting to go out for a ride. Like last time, no lights, click or power when I turn the ignition and the clock also does not show. Tonight I started to go through the check and pulled the battery to charge up again. I went through the fuses in the fuse box and the ones I could find in front of the battery area. Just a question about the main fuse...is this it in the picture? I am asking because it had a 30a (spare?) fuse below it on the side but was wondering if the fuse on this picture is correct at 20a or should it have been 30a? Maybe there is a main fuse hidden somewhere else? All the fuses looked fine and don't think this affected anything since I hadn't changed anything since getting the bike, but wanted to ask so I can change it if needed. Sorry for the picture. It was hard to get a good shot in low light and holding the phone camera and rubber cover out of the way. I tried to look up other pictures of this or check the regular and Haynes manual but wasn't sure. Any help is again appreciated. :)

Congrats on the milestone and nice detailed record keeping!

Looks great! Glad to hear your thoughts about it, especially the two up experience.
