The Phantom

Did someone say polished wheels? Excuse the photo quality but I don't think digital cameras were invented when I had my wheels polished.

Good detective work there John. Another data point - the CB1000R wheel goes straight onto the VFR800 hub (but as per VFR800 rim onto 3rd/4th Gen you need to countersink rotor bolts or machine reliefs into the wheel mounting face). http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j477/hyofighter/vfr%20fighter/IMAG0816.jpg

Regarding OP's query of getting the bars lower - you're limited with the VFR by the fairing design. VTR1000F bars will fit the stock 4th Gen forks (need to re-drill switchblock locating points) and are 5/8" lower, but go any lower than that and you'll be pinching fingers against the tank at full lock.

Width = 430mm Height = 180mm Depth = 45mm Distance between upper mounting tabs = 270mm Front view of radiator: Rear view of radiator:

It's just what he does Here's one he made earlier. MUCH earlier http://www.vsource.org/

Welcome mate. There's an old school mailing list called OzVFR if you're interested, lots of Sydney members aboard. Sometimes they talk about VFRs :)

Did you park it in the red zone?

Mate you are out of control Love the GSX-Rs!

Intriguing...

If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black... OK I'll pay that

And how much time have you spent in this awesome workshop since November 2012, John? :smile2:

Another Australian V8 motorcycle, this is getting embarrassing.

Dude - like me, you 'need' to find a way to get to Japan and see the Honda hall of fame. There's an idea... imagine if a whole bunch of us met for the first time in Japan...

Stoner's loves are racebikes, fishing and bow hunting. Oh and Adriana and Alessandra I don't see him returning either, he's enjoying his life as it is. I do think (hope!) that he'll race at the Island though. I read an article last night that suggested that Gigi knew exactly what he was doing when he rested Stoner on the second day of the private test, so he’d be strong for the official test. Two main reasons were suggested. One, a fast Stoner should gee up the factory riders to dig a little deeper (the article also implied that Gigi may not have absolute faith that his riders are up to getting the best out of the bike). Two – and this is the big one – a fast Stoner would show the really fast guys that the Ducati is a serious contender… and may tempt them away from their current factory rides when contract time rolls around later this year. And they had to see it now, because Stoner smashing the field at the Island in October would be too late – contracts are signed around July/August. Rumour has it that Ducati has never quite given up on securing Lorenzo. So, there’s now no doubt whatsoever that the Ducati – even the old one! – is a bloody fast racebike, and if Ducati really does want Lorenzo for 2017 they are already on the scoreboard with him… he won’t forget what he saw in Sepang even if the Ducs don’t get within cooee of him between now and contract time.

I love it! Here's another 'little NR'... made by the mothership.

Sir, you may be deficient in common sense and certainly in taste and refinement. wITHOUT ANY CRITICISM it's a fascist world. Your understanding and use of capitalised letters is very poor. Your understanding of what makes a 'motorcycling community' tick is at about the same level.

Very solid start for him, great to see.

That fairing is repairable, and with the cost of even used panels for 4th Gens these days you might find it worth the effort to get a quote on it. Tank is a bit harder, but again, repairable - and if you're getting paint matched for the fairing... in my experience a used tank is a lot easier to find than decent used panels.

Yoshi, my 848 wheel just went right onto the Triumph mounting flange - I have both the Triumph 2-piece cone/nut, and an aftermarket one-piece nut, and the latter works perfectly as far as locking the wheel to the flange. I'll have a good look at it this week and get some pics and measurements.

That's pretty remarkable. What a find, and went to a great home too

CBR600F4i can be made to work, somewhere on the interwebs is a page showing what wires to cut and join.

The first pic in CR's first post is a 2002 R6 subframe, and it looks like this on a 4th Gen: And as CR says of the 675 tail, waaay lighter than the VFR boat anchor of a subframe.

VERY nicely done.

The Everley Brothers?
