1998 VFR 800. As close to perfect as I can make it. I bought it with 25k miles from a lawyer in the Oakland hills who kept it garaged. It was fairly stock. Some things I've improved: -Staintune pipe, $800 -Delkevic stainless headers, $400 -Regina chain and sprockets at 27k. $182 -Front Angel GT at 30k, $160, Rear Angel GT at 32k, $221 -Shorai LFX Battery and VFRness at 28k, $170 for battery -All Balls tapered roller headset and front wheel bearings and seals at 29k $90 -Valves checked at 32,520, all in spec. New valve cover gaskets with Hondabond, Denso Iridium plugs, K&N air filter, in-tank fuel filter with new gaskets. -G1 Throttle Tamer, $80 -Dynojet Power Commander 5, $340 -Dynotune by Factory Pro, $425 -Rick's Stator and gasket, $156 -Redline Synthetic oil change with OEM filter at 33k -Coolant flush and fresh Honda HP coolant at 38,774 -Spiegler stainless brake line kit at 38k, $254, and 2 1/2 days of my life... -Galfer pads. -New clutch at 36k. wasn't needed, I was bored... -All lights except dash lights are LED; flasher unit has been replaced to make them flash properly. -Givi tail box and rack -Fender eliminator -Givi windscreen; more upswept than stock, makes a huge difference at speed -Sargent seat, $400. -Original exhaust system and seat. -Solo tail cowl -Rear rim has a slight ding, have a perfect replacement waiting for the next tire change. Was thinking of getting a front rim too, and powdercoating them. -Volt meter installed -TPMS -RAM Mounts Quick Grip cell phone holder with wireless charging, $140 -Haynes Manual and Honda factory manual. -Probably more stuff I'm forgetting... -Paint is still shiny, has never been down. one scrape on right side from previous owner rubbing garage pillar. touched up with color-matched paint. -One thing I was going to do was DMr suspension, but it rides fine, now you can have it tuned for your weight, instead of my 245lb lardass... Entertaining commentary of some of the work I've done can be found at IG: miskatonic_u_glee_club The combination of Throttle Tamer, exhaust, PCV, and Dynotune make this fuel and pull like a dream. Asking $4100

Bought it as a project from a guy who gave up on turning it into a track bike. He dropped it against the wall of his garage, I have an undented tank waiting for gaskets to arrive. It has expired tags, will probably address that next, then price will go up. Newish chain and sprockets, good tires,, braided brake lines, everything works. $2700.

I have a project 95, and the left mid and upper fairing pieces are a mess of fiberglass patching, and it is missing the little piece above the tail light. I know, unobtanium... Let me know if you have something... --NEVERMIND!! Found them.

I have a 1998, and my attention is turning to suspension. Everything is stock, and maybe I am not discriminating, but it seems fine for what I do. But I wonder if it is like when I did the steering head bearings: I didn't realize how bad it was until I fixed it... I am pretty sure the rear will be a DMr shock, $750, boom, done. The front presents options, though. As I like to go nuclear on things, I am wondering about USD forks. Has anyone done this? Have to delink brakes, but F4 lowers would too, so how about it? For esthetic reasons I would like to keep a 5 spoke wheel in front too, if possible. I am comfortable doing this myself, so parts are only cost issue.

I have a 98 with 32k, valves just checked and in spec, the big K&N filter(new) and a Micron high mount slip on. I just got a PCV, mainly because I am sure it is running lean, and having it run cooler would be welcome. On the Dynojet site, it looks like the only 3 maps for 98-99 for PCV are Stock, with Erion slip on, or with Erion full system. My question is, will one of these maps work for the Micron? My eventual plan is to get a header with O2 sensor bungs and do the Autotune system with PAIR blocked, but for now, I would like to find a map that will work for what I have. Thanks for any advice you may have!
