Keep riding! Was about 5 C today but I got caught in fog with under 50m visibility coming home. It's a good challenge. 👍

Also potentially interested in another set.

Supersprox has a 43t sprocket, I paired that with a 16t Honda oem front on my '99. I'd like to find a 45t rear though.

I have a set of 5th gen headers I don't need, just a couple of pinholes that need welding up. pm me if interested.

What are you asking for the Ohlins? Interested, pm me. Seems here in the US fully stock RC's are commanding premium pricing.

He helped me out a couple times with carb parts for my `93. Great info and good guy to work with.

I ended using a et of the OEM gaskets I had on hand, the included gaskets just would not go in the port without deforming.

I have a PC2 but plan to try out a RB in the future. They replaced a TBros header so it was dialed in pretty well I think. I'll have to check on the hugger, iirc it was from Europe. edit: Hugger is a Skidmarx from UK, not sure who their US distributor is any more. https://www.skidmarx.co.uk/guards-huggers#/manufacturer-honda/models-vfr800/products-rear_huggers

Thanks gents. Took it out Friday for first ride and all seems good!

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/

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

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

Hi vfrcapn, Thank you for your donation of --. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion

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

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.

I do...working on converting my 5th gen..

Don't know how I missed this site all these years, but he's got a bunch of great articles on maintenance and lots of gorgeous restorations he's done. Great V4 resource especially for the older bikes. http://v4dreams.com/index.html

Congrats, I didn't know they were still making them for sale anywhere. Ducati's recommended oil. With 4 bikes I'm sticking to the dino for the Hondas.

What do you think of a side mounted oil cooler? Could there be enough air flow? Or maybe a thermo controlled fan behind it?

This is a good read. Check out the mileage on his 1990 VFR. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php%3Fid%3D51135&ved=2ahUKEwjL7LiH-pHqAhVJFTQIHaC-DAkQFjABegQIBhAV&usg=AOvVaw3sQvPho3oybkg97oAbYSP3&cshid=1592710010318 I've done 120k miles on my '99 in all weather, I'd trust the 8th gen to do the same.

No, I'll post up once I work things out, haven't had much time lately. It looks pretty straightforward though.

I had never read this end-to-end but you inspired me, 3 or 4 hours later...was time well spent. SF and Duc, I don't think I realized the effort and time you had put in to this, thank you. I can't imagine how many hours you and all the other bike donors and contributors have put in the last couple of years. It's probably going to cost me more now that I'm considering a RB or PC with autotune, I currently have an older PC2. I don't have much to add that hasn't been covered already. There was a note from SF about centerstand bolts mounting from the center of the bike out on the RH side. I had done just that, to remove the c-stand if needed without dropping the header. I had a question on PC5 and the 5G patch but I see you've already got a whole thread addressing just that. Thanks again guys!
