This company in France has fastener kits for lots of bike models: https://avdb-moto.fr/shop/en/specific-complete-fairings-hardware-kit-avdb/6004-58307-specific-hardware-kit-for-fairings-avdb-honda-vfr-800-vtec-2002-2013.html#/1624-colour-silver I have never done business with them so I don' t know about the quality.

VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years
V4 Rosso replied to Dutchy's topic in Earlier VFRs
In a test in the latest issue of Motorrad those came out on top. You just came across that ad or did you buy these?. If you did: can you charge those without taking the batteries out of their pocket? -

It does, otherwise the gudgeon pin could be offset to the wrong side. Conrods too can have an indicator that shows orientation. -
Nice. Always nice to have a printed (original) copy. Happy Birthday!
-
Ha, nice. Any bikes on that list that are also on your "want to have one someday" list?
-
Well, that explains it 😄

I wonder what happened. Stone chip?

The tiles look like a good surface/foundation for an epoxy floor.

Whatever you do, also consider relocating the RR to a cooler spot. I did some measurements and the frame by itself, where the RR is mounted, gets very hot because of the headers being very nearby. I' ve seen subframe temperatures well over 70C/160F which makes it very hard for the RR to dissipate heat.

I would first charge the battery, let it sit for a while and then check voltage. It should be around 12.8V or above. If not the battery is likely bad and should be replaced. If voltage is OK install the charged battery, try to start the bike and if it does measure voltage at around 5000rpm, it should be >14V. If not check the charging system. If the battery is dead it does stall the engine at idle as then the stator doesn' t produce enough electrical energy to drive the fuel pump, injectors, ignition and lights etc.

The video shows otherwise. 12.1V is not a fully charged battery. With a bad battery and the engine idling the stator doesn' t produce enough energy to keep the engine running. Or the battery is fine but does not get charged: same result.

And after that the brake lever feels firm? No play in the front wheel bearings? Front axles and spacers installed correctly and torqued to spec?

Ha, Terneuzen. Enjoy the Mosselen

Very cool.Hopefully she will soon feel confident again. Some great mountain passes not far from there. It has been a while since I last rode there. I remember it being very hot (36C) but the scenery was breathtaking (besides the south east part with all the campsites).

Fresh tyres and rain is not the best combo 😁 That CB looks good from every angle. 👍
