First of all I'm not the first who want to delink a VFR800 there are some thread on this made by eyrwbvfr. After a lot of research I concluded that the last person who make a solution for the de-linkage of the VFR800 98-01 stop making it so I decided to take over. This is my attempt to make a re design of honda part 43111-MBG-000 that will be lighter, better looking and 100% in the specs of the original one to get an OEM look. For this project I re-use the existing hose. This adapter work well with Brembo P2 34 caliper. Part number 120A44110 and 120A44130 have already been tested with it. This solution is 800 grams lighter than the original setup. The part is made of 7075 aluminum and anodized color of anodized available are bright black or clear bright. I don't know if there still interest in something like that but here what it look like : The original hose fit perfectly: Here original part weigh vs new. if any one is interested few of them are available for 240$ + shipping.

A year ago I went down the path of de-linking my VFR brake system. The front brakes were pretty straight forward using the VTR setup. However, in the rear, it was a bit more involved. I didn't want to use the OEM caliper and modify it. So, I designed an adapter that mounts on the existing hanger to mount a standard Brembo P32 caliper. If you are planning to de-link your VFR800, 5th gen, this is a good solution for the rear brake. It gets rid of the large OEM caliper. This adapter bolts on to the stock hanger and will mount a Brembo P32 caliper in the same OEM underslung position. The advantage of this adapter over a complete hanger is that disassembly of the hub and spindle is not necessary. Well, also, it is simpler and therefore lower cost. You will need to make sure to source the correct version of the caliper as there are a few available. You must get the version where the bleed nipple is on the side closest to the mounting ears, same side of the banjo bolt. I got the version where the bleed nipple was farther from the mounting ears. It completely crashes the spokes and the tire valve. As you can see in the attached pictures, the bleed nipple and banjo bolt are on the side opposite the wheel when mounted. The P34 version is slightly bigger (34mm vs 32mm) and the pads may be too big for the rotor. Also, make sure you have enough brake line length reach the caliper. Bleeding will be no more difficult than the stock one. Although, it may be easier to flush/bleed it before mounting. Anyway, this is just an interest check to see if it is worth making another batch of five or more. Cost will be around the same of $125 plus shipping.

Had to sell my beautiful 5th Gen recently and found the box of rare parts I never had time to instal. The big ticket items are namely rare Corbin seat (removable passenger backrest), DMr fork kit, and brake de-link kit. None of these were inexpensive, so my loss is your gain.CORBIN LADY GUNFIGHTER SEAT -- SOLD!!! -- This kit was originally $700 which is hard to believe. The leather saddle works in conjunction with the Honda seat cowl for a cool solo look or remove the seat cowl and install the handrails for two up sport touring. With the cowl removed, the saddle design accepts the Corbin removable backrest which is included in this sale. Saddle mounts to the stock internal hardware for a clean installation and is fully adjustable to provide your passenger with a tailored fit. Backrest locks in with a single bolt.

Has anybody tried this?, does it work? Delinking vfr 800, 2001, brakes. Problem; I want to get rid of left front brake SMC and assy. (do not ask me why) I have this foolish idea, which needs your confirmation, that it can be done. Solution; Remove left front fork case/casing and replace it with another (same as existing right fork) right fork casing. Remove front left brake SMC and assy (no.06454MBG415) from the front left brake and replace it with rear brake sub assy (no. 06432MBG405). Fits perfectly. tried it. Bolt now the left front brake with rear brake sub assy to fork casing. (Have not tried this since I do not have an exstra right fork casing) Done, only problem I can see is that bolting the front fender on the right fork casing,needs spacers. Does it work/fit? As far as I have measured it should fit. Has anybody tried this?

Hello All, Just done a brake delink and removal on my 5th gen and it was a real b@llache. Had to unbolt and reposition rear subframe to get the mid section proportioning valve out. All I wanted to do is adjust the gear lever but then... I was thinking to trial fit the CBR600 F4 subframe while everything is apart but can’t quite figure out how to remove the old subframe. It seems stuck on bits of undertray and electrics. Hoping to reuse use the battery tray/undertray so don’t want to butcher it. Any tips from those who have removed their OE 5th gen subframes? Thanks in advance, Stray
