That is one beautiful restoration job. 

Will that guide work for the 5th gen?

I have mine mounted under he screen and above the headlamp.  If one uses the Quick app one can (if one has a phone mount) use the app to turn the GoPro on or off and to start or stop recording.  That's what I do.  Of course I upgraded to the latest version (previously had the small one MotoGP uses) which has a rear screen so when it turns on I can see the screen illuminate.

I took my 2Bros slip on link pipe along with our headers to a local muffler shop. He had it done in less than 10 minutes, handed him $10 cash and was on my way. It was completely uneventful.

hope I'm as successful.  Have no clue who to take it to.  Also the headers are on the bike so can't take them with. 

I have the opposite problem-I need the pipe from the Two Brothers can I got 2nd hand expanded to fit the outlet of the new headers, as they are the exact same diameter.  I'm worried that will split and I know I can't get another one of those...

I stand corrected!

True-who would pay $120,000+ for a motorcycle that old?

Actually #1.

 I remember reading a story about Freddy Spencer riding a '98 VFR just after they were released around Laguna Seca and posting a respectable lap time.  I bought one right after reading that story.

Fantasy.

Sound quality is not great and the sound will depend on pipe used-this is a Vance & Hines Ti pipe.  Mine is a '98.

So sorry to hear about his demise.  Although I never met him I did correspond w/ him a few times here re:  the header build/buy and such an easy guy to chat with.  I'll think of him next time I open the VFR up and listen to those headers howl.

Wow-that is a great write-up.  Thanks for that.  A buddy of ours bought bike when I bought my '98 new and loved it but sold it soon thereafter because he was scared he was going to get hurt or killed.  He wasn't accustomed to fast bikes so it was sad for him to sell it.  I wish I had to skills to do what you did to yours.  Maybe when I retire I can delve into the specifics of some of those tasks you completed.

I watched several of the videos he produced-very fine work but he unfortunately dropped the bike he finished in the parking lot photographing it.

Beautiful color!

Hey now, I have a Black Widow can on my bike. Is it the BEST quality can? No. But it looks good and sounds good.

No shade intended-just trying to get some headers sold😉

I did a few times but seems most folks on FB are looking at Delkevic or, dare I say it...Black Widow. Go figure?

Perhaps upload the Dyno charts as incentive-doubt a Delkevic or BW would yield such HP/torque gains.

No rust. More HP. 

Thank you for the many years you kept this valuable site active and engaging.  I will miss it tremendously, as I rely on the vast knowledge and experience found here to keep my '98 running and looking good.  I want to thank every member here who has given me advice and shared their knowledge.  I guess we could all migrate over to the "other VFR site".  I'm a member there but never visit anymore......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Yes, there was one created for the 8G.

 

The DynoJet Power Commander PCV. 

 

You should still be able to get the tune for a small upcharge.

 

as I stated I have the map for the 5th gen on a PC III USB.

I do have the map from Attack.. FYI...

Didn't know there was a map created for the 8th gen.  Which PC do you use?

So I was thrilled by the power my 8G has now after the header install, How about you? Was the power increase acceptable/delectable to you? 😉 Curious if I'm just being biased because I spent the money? I didn't get any before/after dino runs, but the seat of the pants dino showed a noticeable improvement in passing power, 

Absolutely-using the map done at Attack Performance the increase in thrust was significant especially at higher rpms. 

not exactly header porn but here is my '98.  These were of the 1st run and the fit wasn't exact as the bottom pipes protrude under the fairing but who looks under there?  😉

Not any longer. I just picked up the 2 they had.

I'm in Indiana and would be interested ion the 3 that you have if you still have them.
