Helweg replied to Katastrophe18's topic in Eighth Generation VFR's
What is saved is sometimes spend on other things I have never used other than honda filters they are only like 10% more expensive in my country -

As for fitment I don't know since my NR750 replica kit was made for CBR900 therefor it didn't fit at all, but quality and strength of the glassfiber body panels is pretty good, you'll need a finishing hand and adjusting the details a litte, Be aware of small air bubbles in the topcoat that only shows when sanding the surface everything is rough cutted expect a lot of finishing Looks like an interesting project feel free to ask about molding in fiberglass

good news I contacted hyperpro with my issue A guy from Hyperpro Holland "John Troost" took time to guide me - together we found out that springs in front is Hyperpro, but they were mounted upside down " not that this matters in my case " but the worst was, who ever installed them back before 2007 did use the original spacers 50mm According to John, with my weight ect..ect., a 15mm spacer should do the trick - the rear is mounted correct did the mod yesterday, what a difference sag is just correct now. And the side stand is long enough now. can't wait to come home and test ride it today. I only had two or three turns on it last year, and it felt bad, anyway thanks for your input. cheers !

I had time to do some more investigations today side stand is 10 inch long tried to lower the front 15 mm to se how muck that'll give. - side stand is still 1,5 - 2 cm to short rear shock is std but with a hyperpro spring took it down from the lift again - with wife holding the bike I measured the fork leg from top to buttom 82,2 cm - the same as with the front lifted - I guess it's called "SAG" or something, When I sit on the bike i lowers 2,5cm in front I think the previus owner has been a heavy guy - putting in some heawy springs took a measure at my NR 750 replica, build over the same bike, fork length "SAG" is 78,2cm = 4 cm shorter I have a feeling that the solution is new springs fitting my weight can't se any stamps on the springs just the purple at the rear and a printed logo on it - frontsprings is no name or signs is there a way to determin the strength of the springs

After a long winter - almost ready to fly again - I've wondered why my sidestand is to short app. 20 mm, bike is like laying down.just renovated front suspension with new seals ect. - Found the rear spring is a hyperpro purple spring and std. shock. With a std shock the hight is none adjustable on a RC36-1. All the links below is original -when the bike is on its center stand, the rear wheel is just 20mm above the ground, does anyone know if there is a trick to raise the length of a shock on RC36-1 ? I don't know who mounted the hyperpro on the rear, but it looks like the shock is a few mm to long - any good ideas cheers

I just had time to look at the mechanic in my new "old " rc36-1 (redslut 2nd) as it is running without opening for the gas - could be a cheap season, but also catastrofal since it's leaking from both main and reserve. - I've tried to lubricate the o- rings to se if that could tighten it, but no luck, and it's hold together with rivets ( not ment to disassembly). I have found a fev on ebay but all for RC36-2 year 94 to 97 mine is 90 - In the manual they looks similar. Anyone now if it's gonna fit cheers

Congrates - looks awesome - what year is it - did you mention that in another thread ? You have to hold her tight ( she's wild ) -
You can also use clasp type I'm sure there is a larger selection with or without lace sorry I went off topic - can't help it

It's not me, "I promise" I only have two, but I'm looking anyway - my brothers wife is a horse girl, she told me that it is illegal to have only one horse in the stable, there must be at least two together otherwise they will be crazy in the head - I think it applies the same for motorcycles, I realy do

Must say I like the mod - good job

The Bike used is a Yamaha MX 175 Quote from : https://starcarcentral.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/battlestar-galactica-1980-flying-motorcycles/ "The Model Shop was on such a tight schedule, they were designing, building, and painting the three motorcycles at the same time. Patterns for some parts were being carved in foam while other finished parts were being painted. The model crew was working on a half motorcycle when time ran out and the effects crew simply cut a finished motorcycle in half. Production waits for no one. The base motorcycle was a Yamaha MX 175. It was bought from North Hollywood Yamaha by Richard Bennett in 1979."
