  1. The drill bit arrived and it appears to be a simple reverse drill bit. Doesn't look like the one I've used before but that was a spark plug that broke off in the motor. Is this what I need to drill those out? Want to make certain before I truly screw this up.
  2. be a simple drill bit, just reversed. Is this what I need to drill the bolt out?
  3. I couldn't find that particular size bit at HD or the usual stores so ordered from McMaster-thanks for the info so I could get this done.
  4. One more thing. Why do u guys think that bolt broke off when I tried to remove it? I remember using a torque wrench when tightening those bolts a few years ago. Is there something I should use when tightening the new bolts to prevent this from occurring again?
  5. Thank you for that detailed instruction. I believe I can get it out if I can get that bit you mentioned. Again, thank you to everyone who responded. Great forum here!
  6. You know,, I thought about that but thought the idea ridiculous. Maybe it isn't. I will probably try the abovementioned technique suggested by @RC1237V first and if that doesn't work will attempt your McGuyver trick!
  7. Thanks. What size drill bit would u try? That's a small bolt.
  8. Thanks. I'm not looking fwd to it.
  9. ng to remove it that holds the clutch slave cylinder onto the engine. Now to find a bit that can back the broken piece out. Is there a bit that small? I have used them before on larger broken bolts but not something that small.
  10. Love the silver. Congrats-looks like a nice one.
  11. I have a copy of the software somewhere (if I can find it). I bought on for my '98 VFR early on but sold it to someone on this forum when I bought a newer version. I also have quite a few files that others created when they dyno'd their bikes for the '98 version.
  12. Also, if one wanted the decals applied is there a source for the OG "VFR" and "Interceptor" decals?
  13. Appears less expensive than having the old ones painted, especially if they can somehow recreate the decals faithfully. I'd like to know if anyone has bought a set and the quality/fit.
  14. Ah, thank you.
  15. following this link the product doesn't appear to have any markings on it-no "VFR" just plain black plastic. Not the one shown in photos in posts below.
  16. Sargent seats are a good alternative. I tried the Corbin and it was incredibly uncomfortable. The Sargent is very comfortable and supportive and, along with the tank pads keeps me from suffering when braking hard. This video was taken for the audio but you can see the seat as well. And the tank pads. 20230708_083305.mp4
  17. I have the same - love it. Good luck keeping that rubber thing around the top of the screen!
  18. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. So many memories of both bike and owner... Those wheels... Wish I were closer to California-I'd buy it.
  19. Is that Ben Bostrom??
  20. Nice work. Not sure I've ever heard of anyone replacing the "coils". Why would one replace them? Do they wear out over time?
  21. I recently had the tank off doing a spark plug change and when replacing the tank clamped the metal hose holder too tightly over the hose and noticed on the next ride a strong vacuum when trying to open the gas cap. Loosened the clamp thingy and no problems. The vacuum was so strong it was difficult to lift the gas cap.
  22. I know Barber Motorsports Park Museum has quite a few. In Leeds, Alabama, just east of Birmingham. Incredible selection of motorcycles (and some racing cars). Worth a visit.
  23. There's a parking light bulb in there?
  24. Welcome-it's a beauty! Love the silver.
