SAFE-T

Can't you just get them to put a longer hose on the reservoir so you can mount it under the seat ? My Ohlins adjuster is zip-tied under my Corbin where it is A) easy to get at if I want to, B) out of sight and out of mind for others who might want to fiddle, and C) much cleaner esthetically.

I had these wheels ALKALINE STRIPPED for about $20 per wheel here 4th gen VFR rear, '00-'01 RC51 front 90-93 rear A.jpg Stripped third gen. wheel

Nah. Just remembered something else I noticed/thought of but never pursued.

Have you ever looked at a Triumph final drive up close ? It is almost a carbon copy of the Honda's, except for brake linkage. I bet the whole thing would slide right into a '98+ VFR800 swingarm all nice like. Have to compare the two side-to-side or take some measurements but... :beer:

Probably won't help. It's likely the design of the wheel that allows it to clear the rear brake caliper, so you would still have to use a Carrozzeria wheel designed specifically for the VFR800 unless they are using one of their wheels designed for a Ducati. The only other rear wheel that will clear the VFR800's OEM rear caliper/rotor is Dymag's Sport Magnesium. And you still need a modified axle (no longer available through Dymag) or axle adapter or whatnot. Alternately, you could buy a set from Carrozzeria and try returning them after you had programmed the whole thing into autoCAD...just be prepared to make the wheels too, though.

Now put a Ducati final drive in the rear swingarm :idea3:

Matter of fact I do.

What happened to the pics ? :rolleyes:

Still cheaper than Marchesini's...

50mm spacing on the Aprilia mirrors - same as 5th gen Honda OEM. I mounted them without spacers and I think they look great but not very useful for actually seeing behind you ala Franco in The Gumball Rally.

Definitely a skull on the seat. A smiley one, too.
