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.

Looks like a nicely sorted out bike and well kept or very low mileage, congrats!

Site came up...maybe something more like what you have here: https://www.hansendesign.xyz/83vf750?pgid=kif3uy01-407064ea-cdde-48b9-acc0-21c2cbf24036 You've got some nice bikes on there, all nicely done, throw some pics up. Like the '84 Nighthawk and especially the 450 cafe bike.

Good grief... Well, I'll be following to see what you do with it. Your red 3G is gorgeous, polished frame, custom gauges and custom triples? And the left exit exhaust...

The body work is shot as RC said, the lowers are held on by bug guts... There are plenty of nice streetfighter'd VFR's...

Might as well throw that left exit exhaust on too. http://tyga-performance.com/index.php?cPath=72_1036_1819_1820&osCsid=6pggf6ba3htvnqo8rjcb51crs5

New V4 is out, https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/home/ducati-world-premiere Dropped the sssw for conventional swingarm and 19" front wheel with 170 rear tire. Looks like they're going after the GS buyer in a big way. The S model with radar f&r starts about $25K, although the radar isn't enabled in the US because they haven't received approval yet from DOT, so that's a $950 dealer software add next summer when it becomes available. Have to wonder who will spend $30K for a fully outfitted 170hp bike to drag it through the mud.

Airtech makes a set: https://www.airtech-streamlining.com/honda-fairings-seats-fenders-parts/VFR7501990-93.htm

BTW, I found that RevZilla sells the genuine Sidi replacement soles for about $20, if anyone is looking to keep an old pair going.

And...the new Multi V4 has 170hp, 95 ftlb torque or so, plus...37K mile valve check intervals. Sounds like the 2 rear cyl deactivate at idle to manage heat. Front and rear radar. To be continued...would love to see this in a Honda sport tourer, or even the Duc supersport. Good video embedded in this article on the V4. https://www.motorcycledaily.com/2020/10/new-ducati-v4-granturismo-engine-ditching-desmo-to-achieve-60000-km-73000-mile-maintenance-intervals/

RC51 SP2, whole front end. There are several threads here on the conversion. Back to hissing valves now...

I'd dig in to it a little more and verify compression like squirrelman says. Although...it can be a little bit of a chance buying a used motor but you can get the compression checked before or after you buy. I dropped a used $300 20K mile motor from a wrecker in mine and have put 25K trouble free miles on it. I understand the rebuild it urge, but these motors are (typically) almost bullet-proof. Spend the saved money on injector cleaning, new hoses, gaskets...

In all my reading I've never seen the 4G cstand adapted to the 3G. Given how rare the 3G stands are and how the 4G cstands are on ebay like weeds, someone would have documented it. Other than JZH's mod, I've haven't seen an aftermarket 3G-4G header, or the oem 4g header, that allowed you to keep the original 3G cstand. I'd like to fit the Tyga header to my '93 but after a 5 year search to finally score a cstand I'm on the fence myself about giving up the cstand for a new exhaust.

The tubular racks can be made to work with a high mount.

CA has never done bike inspections or bike smog checks.

If you do the Samco hoses I'll recommend them, put a set on my '93.

I've had my Sidi Cobra rain boots for 8 years and love them, just had a old Italian cobbler replace the soles to keep them going for a few more years. Wouldn't hike all day in them but great on the bike.

I'd like to try one too, but $25K for base model and $40K for premium version is a bit much...then watch the first few episodes of Long Way Up and see what you'd be up against. I'm ready to give it a go, when the electric infrastructure is there to support something beyond a daily commuter.

Yeah, Joe has some good parts for rebuilding those carbs, great resource. Sounds like you've got it handled, good luck. I took a 93 in almost as bad shape and it's maybe my favorite runner now. Took a little work but they come back to life amazingly, well worth the effort.

I put the tire on already, I can weight both and start a new thread. With the Aussie convert kit it's just mechanical bolt on of bits, nothing too technical. This is a 6" Duc wheel, so a 190 tire. Contact Sebspeed here on the forum for the clear clutch cover.

The Givi tubular side racks will work with a high mount, with a small amount of mods. Check out SW-Motech too.
