How about if you just dropped almost $30K US for a new V4 Multistrada, to find out the valve guide material in many of the engines is made of peanut butter, and Ducati is giving everyone a completely new engine. Oh, and don't ride it until the engine shows up... hope you enjoyed the first 300 miles...

Thanks guys, received today. Looks like there may be a TBros header in the classifieds very soon... One O2 plug option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087RBYY29/

Only '98-'99 CA bikes had 6-8 less hp, and only difference in hard parts for lower hp was camshafts and ECU.

Can't you just bolt up an entire VTR front end? Uses same bearings I think? Oh look....

RC30s and RC45s are getting pricey, the 30's seem to be selling for $50K all day but I saw a couple at $60K & $90K, the 45's are hitting six figures. https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1990-honda-rc30/ https://iconicmotorbikeauctions.com/auction/1994-honda-rc45-with-zero-miles/ Someone has a nice Honda collection. I say make the replica and enjoy it.

Yes, it should, no cstand though.

Looks great, even the upturned exhaust. The RC tail slims it out but it's still specific to the period of the bike, not a newer gen mini pointy tail. I've got an extra RC tail in the garage and you're giving me ideas. If I didn't already have the undertail exhaust on my '99...

Nice Rob. That is a h3ll of a project. Looks like a whole new slab and foundation. Should make a nice workspace!

Looking good. I love the sound of that bike.

Thank you Miguel for all the effort and keeping a good site running. I've been here almost 15 years now! That should say it all, thanks again.

They're not. Only entry bikes and a few cruisers/adv bikes for the street. Supersports and Sport Touring bikes seem to be dead across the board. The European brands and Kawi/Yamaha somewhat seem to be driving new tech and bikes these days, probably driven by the new Euro standards.

Is there a magnet to go on the wheel for the sensor?

I used the HF tire changer for almost 15 years and it worked fine. The wife got me a NoMar gift certificate a couple years ago though and it is a nice piece of equipment. Still using the HF balancer though. The closest shop to me is a good 45 minute drive each way so just prefer to have tires shipped and mount myself.

It's looking good.
