  1. I have a complete front end off of my 1994 VFR 750. This was on the my hawk gt until I scored that sweet deal on the 600rr front end earlier this year. Bolt this on to your bike in 10 minutes! Works with the factory hawk triples and gives you nice 120 size front tire and double disk brakes. Stantions are in great shape no pitting, nothing is bent, just needs a good wipe down. Located in San Diego. Not interested in shipping currently. SOLD
  2. Hello VFR friends! I have been swimming these parts for a long time and with the recent impending purchase of a home my wife has "suggested" I should thin the herd. Something about not being able to ride 5 motorcycles at once? Anyway, here we are. The bike is a 1994 VFR750 it has about 24k miles on it and after a small encounter with the back of a 16 year old kids jeep and a the pavement I have modified it. These are the major changes although im sure there are others: 2004 cbr 954RR complete front end, forks wheels etc HoHey customs cncd top triple Pro taper minis, honda bend Honda hawk front headlight digital gauge/ dash Koso digital temp monster s4r front fairing CBR 929rr rear shock, sprung and shimmed for 190lb rider 2012-2018 triumph speed triple rear end, subframe, under tray, seat, brake lights 6061 aluminum carb tubes, these are the tubes that connect all 4 carbs, normally they are plastic and break apart and die over time. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/132245821802) Jet kit. stage 2 kn air filter Black widow high mount exhaust Dunlop Q3 tires with less than 500 miles (not pictured) fresh oil change, 200 miles coolant flush 200 miles spark plugs 200 miles Pro grip gel grips alloy levers New radiator cap (not pictured) CRG bar end mirror (left) Braided front brake lines Registered and insured The bike rips, it runs great. I failed to put the choke lever back on when rebuilding the carbs so it takes a tiny bit of throttle to start when cold but otherwise is fantastic. We regularly take it up to the mountains here in SoCal and have full fledged sport bikes having trouble keep its pace. It is very capable. That being said, its still kind of a project bike, you may need to tinker with it and I want the person buying it to understand that. Im hoping someone in this community can appreciate the work thats been done to make it a capable, albeit Frankenstein of a bike. Bike is in San Diego County and im willing to drive into LA for a serious buyer if you dont have transportation. 3.5kobo is what im asking. Let me know what you all think!

  3. Oil cooler works totally fine at this distance, as air passes through the front of the oil cooler it exits the rear and thus cools the oil. The ambient temperature around the oil cooler wont affect the bike in any substantial way, just like I can hold my hand 2 inches from the exhaust and my hand wont burn, it may get warmer, but my blood isnt going to bubble and boil.
  4. OK Update, so after burning through 2 batteries.... Turns out my RR is bad! So I have taken the time to tear the bike totally down and install quite a few things that have been pilling up in the garage along with doing some final changes to the tail swap: Digital speedo CF Dash -1 Front sprocket steel braided brake lines steel braided clutch line cbr1000rr clutch maste PAIR block offs removal of black canister custom temp gauge levers cbr 929rr front end swap triumph radiator shrouds new headlight tail swap brackets cleanup/paint frame sliders fork seals/fluid engine oil new front tire cbr 929rr rearshock(DMr performance spring and spacer incoming!) oil cooler relocation so the bike sits in a state of disassembly currently, here are a few pictures for those interested
  5. The triumph tail was much easier to fit than expected, i purchased the entire tail, subframe and all. The top brackets are square aluminum that fit over the triumph mounting holes and then over the stock vfr holes, they are angled down and notched to fit. The lower brackets were just round steel, it slips over the bottom mount on the subframe with a hole drilled and a bolt through it, that allows the tube to stay on place and not pivot, the other end of the bottom bracket is the steel tube pressed and a hole drilled through that end. As far as the dimensions are concerned the top triumph subframe is the exact width as the mounting points on the bike and the bottom width is exactly the width of the stock vfr lower subframe. I will attach some pictures to hopefully clarify some of my rambling.
  6. Hey guys, just kind of wanted to post up about my recent 1994 vfr 750 build. Im in the process of finishing up the conversion to a naked bike. She started life in pristine condition. Until recently when on my way home from work a teenager on his phone wasn't paying attention and slammed his brakes in front of me. So the idea is to have a tidy smaller tail, and a naked single headlight look. In the stable we also have a 1989 Honda Hawk GT so thats the main inspiration for this build. The tail swap is from a 2012 Triumph Speed Triple. There is a lot of work to be done, mostly wire tucking and such. Anyways this is the state of the bike now.
  7. Hey everyone thanks for the welcome! Took the old girl for a spin today here around the neighborhood and i had a grin plastered on my face the entire time. What a blast! I originally went looking for a vfr for its comfortable sport toury feel, good range and most of all great reliability, I live in northern san diego and commute to down town everyday for work, roughly 80 miles round trip a day the vfr was going to make those 80 miles actually bearable but now im not certain I can bear to put so many miles on it! As for the hawk in the background, it originally belonged to my girlfriend. Who has since become the wife, its been non oped for about 4 years and is finally getting some much needed love just the basics, front end swap, monster tail swap, digital dash, rear shock, full exhaust, you know just "minor work".
  8. Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum and wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I am new to the vfr world but not new to riding, have been riding the street for roughly 10 years with a small mix of different motorcycles. My friend has a 97(I think ) that I borrowed a few years ago. I had the bike for a decent ammount of time and fell in love with it. Soooooo I purchased a red 1994 vfr750f this monday from the second owner, it had 13,005 miles and is to date the nicest example of a almost completely unmolested vfr I have ever seen. It has never been dropped and has lived life in the garage its entire life. The original owner put about 6.5k miles on it and the second owner purchased it in 2001 and put roughly the same miles himself. Obviously the carbs were clogged so just a quick clean up as soon as we got home and everything is perfect!!!
