There are some discussions here on the forum about upgrading the injectors or whole TB. Bike is looking good, wouldn't have thought it could be revived. https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/83008-injectors-and-connectors/

My VFRD 20th is coming up in a few months, next May. Although it also falls on my wedding anniversary, so as far as she knows, that's why the day is special.

Spring came off the Ohlins shock for a 5th gen. Please check Ohlins for x-ref on spring rate and maybe any other applications. Spring number 1092-69/170. Free + $15 for shipping in North America.

I've been having the same problem just the last few years after an hour or so. Using foam plugs and some silicon, pain really cuts down on my riding time. Going to try advrider.com suggestion to carve out some of the liner behind the speaker pocket. For reference used these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099YYWXXK?th=1 I used wired in ear buds for years but preferred the convenience of in helmet.

The VIN tag was my Canadian bike, not @Sirbike. CMSNL lists silver as a Canadian color for '98. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-vfr800fi-1998-w-canada_model5742/settype31_64320mbg000ze/ Probably just a US bike that put on some Canadian/EU silver bodywork. Either way nice bike with some nice upgrades.

Here, takes a little work but do-able.

Definitely US red bike originally. Looks like it has a Penske shock too!

Looks like Canada had one silver in '98 and a different silver in '01. Either way, it would be stated right on the VIN tag. I changed the speedo face out on my import for mph, easy swap. There is a place in Colorado that will reprogram a used LCD to match the mileage of your original LCD if you want to swap that out also. Supply them a mph odo and they'll set it to match the mileage from a KM odo. They provide a cert and say it's all legal. I never did dig in far enough to see if the F and C temp senders were the same part.

Nice bike, Canadian import?

Well, this thread may end up being costly! Love the old Craftsman tools, and the old Craftsman cabinets, always looking out for good ones. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/lets-hear-it-for-the-old-gray-red-sears-craftsman-tool-chests-and-cabinets-60s-70s.289206/

I've got the MRA screen with the turned up lip. On this bike with the handlebar, it worked best for me, 6'1". Better than the DB, the original or MRA's adjustable. On my '98 that had low clip-ons, the DB worked for me. Of all the screens I've tried, I think MRA had the best quality.

Welcome back! The bike was travelling with a nice companion: https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1996-honda-nsr-250-se-mc28/

Very nice. Sebspeed did custom triples for my RC51 front and machined the front wheel and rotor spacers to fit the Ducati OZ wheel in the RC forks.

Nice bike, what front end are you running?

Extreme Creations says "Other required parts are the complete Ducati rear hub assembly including cush drive, brake disc, caliper & caliper bracket. As well as a Ducati 1098 rear wheel or aftermarket wheel to suit a Ducati 1098. A suitable brakeline will also be required." For my conversions I picked up a complete (eBay) 2007 1098 swingarm with the hub, brake disk, caliper and rear brake master, and resold the bare swingarm. The Ducati rear master is mush so installed a new Brembo rear brake master ($90). I stuck with the 1098 6" wide wheel and lucked in to a forged 1098S Marchesini and an OZ wheel but the cast 1098 wheel works also. Note there is an very early 2007 1098 axle that is a couple mm smaller than all the later "large" Ducati axles, only matters for the pin size on the sssa lifts. The rear wheel 55mm axle socket is available, https://www.amazon.com/Wheel-Nut-Socket-Ducati-Multistrada/dp/B09SYRVR7H Torque spec is 208NM! In my notes I have for compatible 6" rear wheels: 1098, 1098S, 1098R 2007-2009 1198, 1198S, 1198R 2009-2011 Multistrada 2015-2020 also, probably also Multi 2010-2014 the same 6" wheel. As Jim mentioned the 848 (+ others) wheel will work and keep the 5.5" rim and 180 tire. Not sure if the hub is the same, these may have the "small" Ducati axle but should work with the EC kit.
