Doubtless a picture is worth a thousand words: -
Thanks HS! Glad to have Louise seen. She is named for the women who tolerate my moto escapades, my wife and daughter. Louise was badly broken and all her plastics needed de-rashing and repair, so I conjured up the paint scheme after a lot of sketching and coloring. The paint work is all Harbor Freight HVLP guns, done in a spare room in my shop that I could hang parts in. I found decals at Extreem Decals and the stripes are auto pinstripe tapes. All was done with a PPG formula for R158P Honda paint. Clear coated everything to be weather and gas proof. My message is that almost any broken plastics can be pieced back together or spliced with other donor parts to come up with good repairs at low cost. It justs takes some patience. Let's save our Fourth Gen bikes!! -

Beautiful upkeep! I think that is a great looking bike, but then I am prejudiced as I think the 4th gen was the most recognizable VFR model and IMHO the best looking. Oh, and I own one....... -
Phots are of the oiler--a Container store 4 oz. lotion pump, modified with a pin hole to prevent siphon action and attached to Ace Hardware 3/16 copper tubing with a generous bedding of hot glue. Vinyl tubing runs to the swing arm and a stainless bracket filled with a squared off rubber stopper that is drilled to hold the exiting 3/16 tube which then wyes into twin small copper tubes (about 12 ga., also Ace hobby section). Oil is deposited onto both sides of the sprocket and carried into both chain o-ring areas by centrifugal forces. 12 ga. tubes were fitted into the swaged out 3/16 tube and soldered in place. The outlets tubes are tipped with 12 ga. vinyl wiring insulation that was stripped off and trimmed. This flexible end allows close approximation to the sprocket teeth and nuts without worrying about interferece or in reversing when the sprocket rotates backwards. The aluminum oil container fits nicely into a black irrigation lawn sprinker body that has been cleaned up of protrusions and fitted with an aluminum bracket to fasten it to the appropriate location. Give it a push now and then. Mine fits unobtrusively inside the front cowling. Tom
