    Nice silver 5th gen. Looks great! Kinda like it better than my red....
  2. I would really like to see an oil thread of Lab Analysis - Blackstone - mileage, and data results.
  3. No - balls of ice - brrrrrrrrrr - crazy
  4. I like your project. Great job. - 432 pounds, that' s impresive. - if you have the old/new parts weight, I would be interested in that. The weight reduction thing is something I wanted to try on a 5th gen. - Please continue to post - -- most people here are a bunch of techies & geeks and just curious. (me too)
  5. Dude, you've made so many changes, I've lost track of where you are at. How 'bout a quick history post? 2002 to '06 ecu to engine to xxxx to etc...... lol. (your wife may be getting jealous of that bike.lol.) Carry on bro....

    VF1000R test side

    That bike deserves a huge -- WOW! Fantastic job! :fing02:
  7. Oh - ok, very cool When you get going be sure post up a good photo build thread.
  8. I think Sebspeed has a super duper excel chart on that stuff. I got a copy but I cant find it for the moment. That would be a good place to start.
  9. Wow - I cant think of a sporty type bike I have had, when in the first day of ownership, I didnt razor off the stock grips, and throw on Pro Grip 699s. (Cruisers are different animal. ...)
  10. I have really been interested in the outcome of this project...
  11. Nine days. It was a bad idea, because on Sunday evening I crashed and came down with a terrible virus. I think I was holding up until the job was done. I keep poking my head into the garage and wanting to tidy up in there but I basically haven't slept much in the last 48 hours. The upshot was that I was awake (4am) to watch the Indy GP! Well kudos to you anyhoo, great job! You blow me away.... Now we need a contest on renaming this thread...

    All done?

    Kaldek, all done? Chances are --- ---- not! lol :biggrin:
  13. Ideas --- - Dunno if I can help direct, but if I get into a spot like that, I usually go look at an exploded view of the assembly to make sure some stupid engineer didnt put a circlip in a spot you least expect. - There are some more aggresive penetrants on the market vs WD40 --- Kroil (super stuff) -- comes to mind, try that way. - Chain saws, hand granades - sry couldnt resist. Good luck on this one ----------------------------------------------------------- "Anyway I've given up for the evening as I have an early start tomorrow at - of all places Honda motorcycles head office Austria. Is there some irony in there?" (kaldek) Um, I'm trying not to laugh ---- (Maybe Soichiro is watching.)
  14. Keep watching! I've got the new bike set up on chasiss stands and have only one bolt left before I drop the motor out of it. It's game time. Pics! Pics! lol
  15. Dude your funny - every mod turns into a reality show saga....
  16. Thanks for the great how to......
  17. Wow - the dyno graphs show a huge engineered "hole" in the power band. I'm sure that's a combination of regulations imposed (emissions,sound, etc.) and the political view of possible litigation from the marketing people. Same thing happened with the VTEC on the 6th gen. It must suck to the be the engineer on the project and get the marching orders from on high. The reaction from the engineers must be "I gotta do what?" knowing its gonna screw up the bikes power and still have to work around it. If I had a 7th gen - I would be all over this Bazzaz product - he's one of the best.
  18. What's the classic saying? -- "There's a fine line between genius and insanity." Kudos to you and Kaldek , Kostritzer too --- - impressive
  19. I'm a Corbin guy and no complaints. Ive done 12 hour days on one. I have nothing against Sargents, just havent tryed one and I'm stuborn that if I like something I stick with it. --- I'm running a zero gravity dubble bubble windshield that I like alot and have the y2k mirrors. The thing on the stocker condom mirrors is that the rubbers wouldnt stay in place and drove me crazy. (pics in gallery) -I've heard seat mods by Spencer are very good and priced reasonable. - Is Hebron across the river from Cincy?
  20. Sry - didnt mean to be the turd in the punch bowl, just throwing out some stuff to think about.
