VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years
V4 Rosso replied to Dutchy's topic in Earlier VFRs
There is a mile long concert hall a few minutes riding from his home. I agree with keny, these pipes will look better without decals. -

Most buy a helmet that matches their bike. You, off course, do it the other way 'round. Congrats on the new ride -

Autumn, roads are getting slippery with leaves and mud. -
Thanks! Yes, I was thinking about going a similar route. I too have a fibreglass fairing awaiting to be painted and installed as my current fairings have to many battle scars and good replacements are hard to find and/or very expensive. Also VFRD member keny generously donated me a dash from an RC24 that should give me some more room too. Did you also had to move the oil cooler? I was thinking of relocating it to somewhere just in front of the radiator or the headers as in the stock position the oil hoses are not spaced far apart and rub the fork uppers.

Did you modify the front subframe in any way, as the only thing I don't like about this setup is that the big and wide USD forks do not have a lot of room to rotate. [/url] Looking down the right fork leg you can see it touching the subframe Btw. that exhaust on your 3rd gen, it doesn't look much like a silencer, is it just a straight piece of ss pipe??

Excellent picture! -
Very nice, looking forward to seeing some shots of the whole bike. vfroem, are you still here?

If the pivot distance of both brake master clinders is the same, expect an increase in effort of 30% (a 16mm. brake master cilinder is 30% larger than the 6th gen 14mm master cilinder). If the pivot distances are not equal, and that is not unlikely as e.g. Brembo radials come in 16,18 & 20mm pivot distance. I don't know what the pivot distance is of the 6th gen but on my 3rd gen it is roughly 25mm. If the 6th gen is close to that number it could add another 30% extra effort. I would check & clean the pads and discs before anything else. As the others have said, the stock brake setup is more than adequate and you should have not problem lifting the rear wheel when braking.

You don't need a special tool, next time attach some rope to the damper rods. I wouldn't feel comforatble tightening the lock nut just by hand. Yes, the oil will make it into the cartridge no problem.

It looks good from every angle. I think you could not have picked a better colour for this bike, beautiful
