Put me down for one for 6th gen header please

New member here that has read lots and is excited by the idea of getting a set of these headers for my 2007 6th gen. I'd like to keep my centerstand and upgrade from a stock ECU to a Power Commander, probably just downloading a map. I'm running gutted stock pipes and have done the pair/flapper mods. I'd love to here from whomever is taking orders, woo-hoo Trump bucks

Anyone else need a centerstand stop? I've got 3 total interested so far, unless I missed someone. I can do them for $50 each shipped in the lower 48, or $42 plus actual cost to points globally.

I'll try to make a couple extra anyway, but times are tight so I can't sit on a bunch of inventory.

Tried to help you out with some fab info but the 5th gen bikes we can access right now have 6th gen cushions on them for updated rear sets....still looking.

Ok, thx

I'll see about getting another batch going. Looking into 5th gen fitment.

I would prefer to produce the centerstand stops in batches if I can - what's the latest potential need for stops looking like? 

I believe this patch was pioneered as a result of a customer of mine having his 99 tuned at a dyno shop in Seattle. We had installed an older model PC with ignition control so the header I built could be tuned properly. The shop he took it to insisted that they could not work with the older model PC2 and sold him a PC5. The bike didn't run properly with that one(as we suspected) and the shop worked with Dynojet to get it working properly.  

Nice job Kevin

Sorry I'm late to the party... I use 1000 & 1500 wet and then buff with (buffing) compound on a foam pad when I restore lenses here. I use a soft rubber block to back the paper when sanding. It's really similar to restoring & maintaining a painted surface.

Sorry to keep bugging you but do you see this happening in let's say the next couple of months? If not then I'll probably just button this project up with the stock rearsets and take another look into this next winter.

I'm sorry, I have a lot of other projects going on right now and no funds to drop on buying parts and r&d for a revamped version. I will move forward with this when I can.

I believe there is a V1 set for sale in the classifieds here, have a look

Improper installation of the clutch slave at some point. Non-issue as it's not a support point for the rod and not within normal throw range of the cylinder. I would remove the pieces that have split away so they don't fall off by themselves, do your normal cleaning and move on.

Now you have me wondering if Seb got the money shot......   

The pics? Yes, I took all the photos used for the magazine feature(s)

Did you end up selling it Seb?

No

Still looking for a home for it

Did they drop the speed limit to 20-25mph and begin road construction on half the keys? If not, they can't call themselves the northern version yet... lol

Bump

I got a big box today...

The redesign is on the backburner while I fry bigger fish... couple more months at least. 

I am once again starting a run of parts. I need 10 people minimum to commit to get this run going, more are welcome!

I will make a $50 VFRD site donation if we hit 10 buyers, $5 for each after 10, plus FREE RETURN SHIPPING in the USA! (if you're outside the USA, I will mark down your total shipping by $14)

If we get 15 people to commit I'll knock another 5% off!

This offer covers all generations of VF & VFR. The only exception is the 1200DCT model. If you are a VF/VFR owner, the window can be made to fit your bike! Fits other bikes also, please ask about fitments! Generally speaking, if the bike has an aluminum cover and a hydraulic clutch, I can add a window. 

What I require to perform the mod is:

1. Your clutch cover, or a spare cover, shipped to me. I usually have a spare 90-97 750 cover and 800 covers on hand to speed up exchange times.
2. A total payment of $250 via PayPal gift - pm me if you need to pay another way

Turn around time will be 1-2 weeks max, usually faster.

What you will need to do to complete the mod:
1. Make down payment of 50%
2. Ship your donor cover, or drop ship a donor cover via ebay/etc.
3. Make final payment when mod is complete
4. Paint or powdercoat the cover (I can help with this)
5. Install with new gasket

As showcased in other threads, you may also paint or powdercoat your pressure plate to display the color of your choice. Currently, I do not offer paint or powdercoat services personally, I use a local shop for powdercoat and the cost for that is $100. Feel free to send me a PM, but please make sure you post in this thread if interested, as I will use this thread for tracking purposes.

A number of pictures and additional info can be found here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/68201-clear-clutch-window/&

These have (unfortunately!) been crash tested and I am very happy to report that adding this window mod actually makes the clutch cover STRONGER and less susceptible to crash damage that could leave you stranded! I do keep spare parts on hand to get you back on the road at a fraction of buying a new OEM cover.

Thanks for looking!

metal is thin on swingarm, not ok for drilling or welding, so find a rear stand with flat plates that go under.

You do realize the factory welded it together, right? 

I've welded beer cans together on a dare. No reason a competent welder couldn't add a threaded boss to a swingarm. 

Rivnuts/Nutserts would be my go-to non welded option, although I've also machined lift hooks with custom axle blocks for them to bolt to. Both options are preferable to a through-axle mount, simply for the convenience of being able to remove the wheel while on the lift. 

I owe a balance on my 8g header, I will take care of it this weekend.

Did the mag not speak to you Seb? You need a mate to send you copies?

Guy from the mag promised me a copy when he contacted me for pics and info, never heard from him again. 

Received a couple copies yesterday via a friend in the UK 👍

I subscribe to this mag, it was great to open up and see your bike in Practical/performance Bike mag last month

Thanks buddy, still waiting on my copies from my friend, should be here soon... Plan to frame it with the rest of them :)

Nice work updating those wheels.

Hi guys!  new here, this header is exactly what I was looking for to complete my pretty extensive build when is the next batch going to be made and how do I sign up for one ? Thanks!  And thanks for making a proper header! 👍👍. 

2003 6th Gen . 

@sfdownhill

90-93 tank has a straight body line on the side. 

94-97 tanks has a contoured, curvy line 

Filler cap is in roughly the same place on both. 

Depending on how the cover is sewn, it may or may not fit both.
