Captain 80s

I think I'm rolling the 92 on the lift for it's next round of upgrades, so if you don't get an answer soon I will have one for you.

Still a bit high for me, but pretty cool. That front view is better.

My 92 has the cowls on it right now. Do you not have access to the wire harness side plug? Or I suspect it has been modified or missing...

Stray's bars would spoil any chance of putting that cowl any where close to that placement. That's a big part of this latest discussion.

For me, the best looking bikes have the top of the headlight about where a line would intersect extended from the top of the tank surface / angle. Look at some of your favorite full-faired bikes and you might see a similar relationship. That CBR800V4 faring would not be able to stay where it is with your bars. Gonna be real tough to find the right combo.

The VF1000F Bol d'Or could very well get the headlight in the right height/spot and give room for higher bars.

A shoelace!!! Fuckin' good idea. I'll take that as my Xmas gift. I also pump the piston out a tad to better expose the potential crud ring

I think you may have skipped a step when reading this thread. - OP has bad VFR petcock - OP comments on how XX is the same base as VFR - My comment that the VTR is same part # as XX to widen search (that's it) Also. the vacuum operation is easily deleted. I do it on my 500 Interceptors.

Nice parts list. Now get going!

Um..... no. Video has the production value of a local appliance or mattress store.

HIGHLY doubt it. Pretty different architecture.

Yep.

I really think that's a good plan. You will never have to worry about the cooling o-rings again and you will know for sure the carbs are good. Then you can confidently move on to other things if you still have some symptoms. About 1% of "the guy"s out there can do a proper carb clean and setup on a V4, but you never know. Also, I have part numbers for the all the cooling system o-rings in FKM/Viton from a vendor I have used over a dozen times at pennies on the dollar if you want. Also for the carbs.

You probably should have pulled carbs so you could replace all the coolant system orings and go thru the carbs, which it really sounds like it needs.

So in 24 hours you diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts, learned how to get to the problem, received the parts, and put it back together?

How was it before you took it apart? 45 degrees should not be a problem for properly set up VFR.

At a base level, I have a Broad Form Liability Policy thru Dairyland that makes me legal for any bike I'm on, whether I own it or not. Above that I insure some bikes thru Allstate. They also have my cars and house, but the bikes are a separate policy from Auto. I can negotiate a value with them that includes custom parts and accessories, and covers all of our gear. Everyone will have a story and these companies are still for profit, but for the most part Allstate has been decent to deal with when problems arise. When I worked at the Honda Shop, dealing with Progressive was the worst. But that was 30 years ago, so that review is pretty much irrelevant now.

Yoshimura. Full system, 4 into 2. There are not exhaust tips near the license plate.

I have 3 sets of forks apart right now in the shop, I can try and verify threads tonite if you would like.

I like mine with fruit, but sometimes just a little powdered sugar is nice too.

Up til now, it's obviously the '95. He's been chasing that feeling thru a few VFRs. 😉 That's is a great list of past/current bikes. Welcome!

I also didn't say that. I was referring to testing what you have built. You won't pay for a test/certification that you don't need to sell a helmet (or accessory) in a certain market, unless to meet regulations and/or perceptions. Aaaaaaaaand..... I'm out. Enjoy your new AGV St. Stephen and ride safe!
