Painted her today. After she is cured out, a wet sand and buff. Hard to tell but she is a light metallic silver

Good stuff! Plan it out and it will all be easy. You will have a fun ride when done. Honda doesn't make one so we have to. Keep us posted

Ok -I'm dense. COP?That is the coil pack location on the right side. "Coil Over Plug" conversion would need to be done to free this location. Or, some creative relocating. I did my COP last year some time to clean up the bike. Hey Mello, I put a springs in my VTR front and love it. If I recall, you have the VTR front also.

You have to have the COP to do this.

Where I grew up in Orange county NY we had the fall foliage people and the Apple pickers from other countries. Lost, slow, stopping in the middle of my best test track roads through the mountains. Recipe for disaster and proved to be just that on a few occasions. See you guys a little later in the year down there.

That price should get you closer to a better condition. If it was sold at $2500 - $2800 and the damage really looks like low speed I would consider it. Look for new pegs, mirrors and bar ends. Usually a good sign it was a higher speed crash. I would keep looking for a cleaner 6 gen for a few more bucks or a clean 5th gen for 2500- $2700

Your killing me! that collection is outstanding.

Pace yourselves kids, Keep this thread going till next TMac. Drag out the memories...I feel a late summer return in my future.

Nicer with clean title close to 2k. 2500. I would pass on that title too

It is great to see all these SF builds. I have to say though, if you all are not envious enough, they are Amazing to ride. The engine, the weight, the position, the engine, did I repeat myself, sorry. Absolute blast to ride. If you have the means, I highly recommend building one. Wether it is a beater or a beauty, they are outstanding on the road.

I rode with a guy that was on one of those and got that bike through some tight stuff in a hurry. Just know that it an do it, if need be. The girl is up to the task. I scaped a peg with a knee out and this guy barely shifted his arse in the seat. Enjoy!

Brian, long time. We are all due for an upstate romp. Let's set something up...

Hate to say it but you asked, there may be more effective ways to spend your money then those headers. Performance gains come from improved suspension too. A handful of track days are well spent money to improve your skills and enjoyment. Skill and cornering confidence are priceless.

Welcome! Ok so, you must be friends with Ewing Mcgregor, right?

The shiniest fasteners around. Pure 5th Gen glory. If you ever want to see one of the finest examples of a 5th in the world, this is it. The Griffinator

What the...Ohhhh, ouuuuu....

He was completely OK. I was OK and even got to ride the next day. This leads me to the picture that made my trip. To set the sceen: It is around 8AM on Saturday - The morning after. My bike, which went down on the left side had a flat front tire, which pretty much meant that I was not riding that day. I came out in my shorts and tee shirt fully expecting to spend my day sitting outside and lamenting what could have been. And this is what I saw: Than you Austin! You've made my day and I am still smiling now, as I am writing this post. This folks is the reason why I've been a member of VFRD since... OMG!!! 2006! Dam.. Time flies. What lessons I took away from all this? Many. But the most important one, is this: When your bike refuses to lean on the side stand, you probably have flat tires As I have said, you are very welcome. Ironically, I was in the parking lot last year rebuilding my bike and you helped me to ride the rest of that trip. This is how it works, we help each other and we ride another day in order to have more great memories.

Hey Keef. I will add a front pic tomorrow. The bike was well tested and worked very well. The 4th gen rad is great. I also have the five row oil cooler. High revs all day in warm temps and not a worry. Front springs transformed the bike. Also, Weight was never a driving factor but was intended to be a bonus. She weighs 427 lbs soaking wet with just shy of a full talk of gas. That makes a fun ride!
