    Screwed!

    As His Vtec was prone to overheating in summer weather, TBzep decided that a bigger cooling fan was in order.........

    Cool SRX! :) Lean and mean! Ain't nothin' on it that don't make it go faster!
  3. Like these: http://www.thecliplink.com/shims.htm border='0' alt='user posted image' />
  4. Or, you could be like this guy: I came across this bike somewhere just north of the Alberta/Montana border and HAD to snap a pic. Didn't see the rider anywhere. Never did figure out where he would sit?? :wheel:
  5. Afterburn stated that he was looking @ getting the fork lowers from a VTR1000, so in that case, yes, it would work. Not sure about the VFR's wheel, whether the bolt pattern was the same as the VTR or not (for mounting the discs). If not, then you'd need the VTR front wheel & spacers, etc. I imagine that one-fingered stoppies would be the norm with those 320mm pie plates out front. Especially with the PFM 6 piston calipers. :wow:
  6. Ferodo makes an oversize rotor kit that has adaptor brackets for the stock VTR calipers. http://www.braketech.com/factorybody.html border='0' alt='user posted image' /> (screen.width/2)){this.width = (this.width/2)}" onclick="java script:window.open('http://www.braketech.com/placed/pg6.gif','','scrollbars=1,toolbar=1,resizable=1,menubar=0,directories=0,status=0')" border="0" alt='Posted image'> Or, there's the full race 6 piston caliper setup. PFM iron rotors and calipers. They have them on closeout right now. http://www.braketech.com/cgi-bin....from=20 Just bring money! ? :laugh:
  7. Wow, Aziza, that looks great! What was the total cost? And can you go into some detail about how the brakes function now? Power? Feel? So lemme get this straight: the front lever actuates all 6 front pistons, the rear lever actuates the outer two rear pistons, and the secondary M/Cyl on the forks operates the center rear piston via the L/H caliper's braking torque, is that right? So, you still have a link from front to rear, just a very slight one. And only when using the front lever. Did I get all that?
  8. I bought a brand new 12v fan from a computer store, mounted it up and it only ran for a few months before going Tango Uniform. I might try it again with a different brand fan, but my results were poor owing to the fan failure. I too tapped into the license plate light to power it. R/R is original and still going strong, fan or no. The spare R/R under the seat must be warding off evil spirits or something. :laugh:
  9. Raphael: I saw this in the archives of the big list and was going to cross-post it here, and give full cred to you, but I see you've covered all the bases already! :D I'm going to give this some serious thought and maybe try it over the winter. Thanks for the ingenious spirit you have to follow up on this and tread where no-one has before. Previous de-linking (or in this case, semi-de-linking) experiments have been lacking in detail and hard data, not to mention photos. So to confirm my suspicion: is the Vtec LBS plumbed this way? Was that your model for routing the hoses? L8R, RM
  10. Yup, voltmeters are a good thing. Wish Honda had've included that info on the LCD info panel. At least if you could toggle from tripmeter to voltmeter or something...... I've got the I4C voltmeter on mine. No dancing coloured LED's, but the install was certainly easier. And, you get the voltage readout in digital format to 1/100th of a volt. http://www.i4cproducts.com/c-volt.htm border='0' alt='user posted image' /> (screen.width/1.75)){this.width = (this.width/1.75)}" onclick="java script:if(this.width > (screen.width/1.75)){this.width = (this.width/1.75)} else {this.width = (this.width*1.75)}" border="0" alt='Posted image: Click to resize'>
  11. Oh, another note on footpegs, I replaced mine with pegs from an '86 VFR750. They aren't any lower, but they sure look trick. They match the passenger footpegs perfectly! :wheel: Just use the pins and springs from the new VFR, and the pegs only from the old one. Not sure if this would work on '90-'97 or '02+ models. ??? Here's a (blurry) pic:
  12. Harris has some footrest kits on closeout, only 4 sets left that have adjustable footrests. Not sure how much adjustment they offer, but you could ask. Note that these are for '98-'01 models only, AFAIK: http://www.harris-performance.com/website....logBody
  13. FWIW, I did the same mod on my dear departed '86 and it worked great for when you got stuck in traffic. Switch the fan on BEFORE the motor gets hot. It seems to help if you get a jump on the heat.
