Hey guys and gals I’ve got a new in box Penske 8983 double clicker shock for sale. The box was opened to inspect for shipping damage but it’s never been taken out. I bought it for a project that never came to be and now it needs a new home. It was set up by Traxxion suspension with a Hyperco spring and is set up for aggressive street riding with 200lb rider with gear. $900 OBO, free local pick up in central Florida or I can ship at your expense. Thanks for looking!

Noted... Guess its off to the classified section!!

Yeah It has a Givi rear rack/ box

Dude this is comedic gold... and frighteningly similar to an experience I had on a Buell XB12

I gotta admit this idea is really appealing to me. Perhaps do a donations funded giveaway. Pay a donation and get your raffle ticket, funds go towards the build and the widow and her children. Thoughts?

Good evening Viffer peeps. Finally made it up to frigid Minnesota and picked up the VFR. It is literally in a half dozen bins and boxes, all meticulously labeled and sorted. I haven't had time to really get into all of it yet but the frame and swingarm are in great shape, the tank has some scratches (my fault... stupid story) and the fairings look mostly good aside from some small scuffs, maybe from a very low speed drop or driveway drop. Ill be running all the engine parts through my ultrasonic cleaner and reassembling with new bearings but I have not decided weather I should part this one out or rebuild and sell. Remember the majority of funds received for the parts/ sale of the bike will go back to the widow of the previous owner, so what are your thoughts on which direction I should take? Ill see if I can power the gauge cluster up this weekend and pull the milage.

Not that I am aware of. A full inventory has not been completed. The whole bike is there from what I have seen and been told. If someone wants a whole bike in a box or the parts are sold individually makes no real difference to me. I am unaware of mileage as the title does not list it, but parts condition looks to be average to above average.

Good evening Ladies and Gents, I haven’t posted in a hot minute, mostly cause COVID has reshaped my entire livelihood, but also cause there is not much progress to be posted on my build thread. I promise I’m working on the build but this thread is about something a bit different. Ok well, entirely different. I ran across an add on FB where a woman (widowed) was trying to sell her late husbands 98 VFR. I’ve been corresponding with her and I think we are close to an agreement for the bike, which is in parts bins, and I’ll be trying to collect it this month. This brings me to the point of this post. I would like to part the bike out and donate a portion of the proceeds to her and her family. Would you fine group of VFR enthusiasts be willing to donate to this cause and get some Viffer parts in return? 2020 was a wild ride and this woman and her young children have endured quite a bit. I would really like to help in any way I can and I hope you all will too. Please post here or in PM and express your interest. If there is enough I’ll start a classified add in the appropriate section. thanks all, and Happy New Year!

Good morning fellow Viffer peeps, I want to apologize for the momentum kinda dying here for the last few weeks. I walked into work last week and was informed that I, along with the entire fabrication crew, would be laid off due to lack of work and vendor supply train interruption all caused by the lovely COVID 19 virus. Ive been scrambling to find viable ways to keep my family fed and housed but this has left little time to post or work on the VFR. I know Im remiss in my duties and I will strive to provided updates as they come up but the squeeky wheel gets the grease and my teenage kids are hella squeeky about food and having a house blah blah blah. One day they will realize dad was right, all you need is an uninsulated garage, in Florida, in the summer, a few motorbikes, and an unrelenting drive to ignore "grown up" responsibilities in lieu of testosterone fueled two wheeled adventures. On that note my Penske double clicker came in yesterday! what a beauty she is! My powdercoater seems to have dropped off the map so PCing the frame and swingarm may have to wait. Additionally still waiting on the T-stat, rando hoses, triple trees and some other bits to come in. Thats all for now

Thanks! I'm happy with her. Ahh the VFR will not be forgotten. Got the forks back from traxxion yesterday and the penske should be coming soon as well. It's all a process and I didnt have a rideable ride hence the Tuono. I've been lusting over my buddies RSV4 for about a year and he finally peer pressured the shit outta me into this beast.... didnt take much though lol

Hey there ladies and germs, Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been crushed at work and family stuff has gotten in the way of my best laid plans. On a positive note I picked this up today.... Happy day. Time to scrub those SuperCorsas and run her in!

Funny you should mention button switches. I'm also planning on getting an M button and using it for all switchgear. If your not familiar it allows a single CAN line back to the M unit for all the buttons on both the left and right side of the bars. Should clean it up nice. Thanks for the input Knumbnutz.

Good morning and happy Friday to you, my faithful followers. Got some more goodies in the mail yesterday. Two 6th gen tanks (couldn't decide which was in better shape so I bought both), Galfer wave rear rotor which at this point Im not 100% sure Ill use so it may go up in classifieds, bearing sleeve so a triumph axle will fit in the VFR hub/eccentric, and some of the AS3 silicone rad hoses I need. Still waiting on quite a few things to show up at the shop before the "build" portion of this build can begin but on a lighter note my hand is healing crazy fast and when the heavy stuff comes in I should have no problems working on the bike! RFI: Any of you lot have experience with the Motogadget M-unit? I am considering using it to eliminate a handful of relays, fusebox and clean up some wiring. Ive used Motogadget turn signals on my MT09 and other bikes but haven't used something like this bit of tech before.

I've got an OEM header with zero corrosion. Came off my 2001 @1900 miles. Gaskets are good too.

Oh yes they are all on order as well as AS3 hoses and clamps. Thanks for lookin out though!
