  1. Aside the obvoius engine differences, the 6th frame has thicker sections and therefore stiffer and also the front forks are 43mm and stiffer as well. That is why some guys have installed a 5th engine in a 6th gen.
  2. Cool stuff! - Pro Bolt probably has simular fasteners too...
  3. Hey Cogs - How's going? Thanks for the heads up on Custom Rewind. Great news! I did a 5th gen a couple years back with extended leads and its working great. I am running the Furukawa connnectors direct on the extended leads so there is no intermediate connection..... Also I have another on the bench to do. Gonna get that one done too to have on hand.
  4. Comparing how the bikes run and ride, what do you think between the two?
  5. I really enjoy build threads... looking good, keep the photos coming.

  7. My mileage is way down too... guessing sub 4k... used to do over 12k easy... gotta pick it up this year...
  8. Just for clarification..... I did know that the 6th wheel is the same as a 5th, but to use the 6th in the 5th, use the 5th spacers? Thanks all
  9. I was looking at the year end budget and thinking of the panic mode I was in when HS was saying he was shutting down.
  10. Hi mello dude, Thank you for your donation of --. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  11. But what of the Yellow Peril? Is it just sitting in the garage wasting away?
  12. Agree with that, most members here are fairly proficient with wrenching on motorcycles. If you have a question on how to fix something, the answer is on this forum. This is a great tech group and the best forum on motorcycles in general.
  13. I own a '98 and they are fairly bulletproof. once you take care of the charging system. If the previous owner kept up with it and the bike was well loved... go for it. Of course a 25 year old motorcycle will always have things to watch out for. BTW -- what Terry said...
  14. Aw...."a-scared" of pair? Cmon dude, it's frickn easy...You got the plates....Do it! Yes it can be done on all VFRs...Stop reading everything on the net...
  15. I have that DID chain tool and after using it a few times, its worth every penny. Its a fine piece.
  16. Hey....I am going to do mine over the winter. I will probably buy a wrench off Amazon. There's at least 10 choices. Haven't decided which one. Dunno if I would trust a rental.... No hurry for me though.
  17. Grum, it's good to hear you are doing well. Great idea for the wine transport... I'm not much on wine myself, but a good porter or stout... Very best wishes.
  18. Hi - the FH020AA works fine, I am running one.
  19. Wow! Damn sweet! What year 750 did you use? Where did you get the body? Any photos of the build process would be awesome. Holy crap, I'm drooling..
  20. Check- www.cycleterminal.com That's my goto place for cycling electrical stuff.
  21. I appreciate the offer, but as a longtime tool junkie, I'm looking to purchase.
  22. My OCD self is getting more concerned about low torque specs.... Any recommendations for low range quality precision torque wrenches? Mbe 36 in-lbs to around 240 in-lbs.. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. 🙂
