Hello and welcome, its cool to see another SoCal rider, i also have a 86 VFR750F

WhiteKnight · 07-07-2008, 06:56 PM

Hi and welcome. Looks like you found a good, clean example of a VFR.

Dudealicious · 07-07-2008, 07:39 PM

didn't i see that bike advertised on craigslist in burbank for like 2k?
thought about it, but figured i'm gonna save up for a 2009 v5...should the rumors be true.

L8asusul · 07-08-2008, 11:36 AM

Thanks guys for the warm welcome.

Dudealicious, yeah thats the one. Got it for 1800. Best money I ever spent. I get all giddy just thiking about getting a chance to take it out for a spin. Nothing like the roar of those Strapps while cruising.

I need to get the bike a little lower though, I dropped it once trying to manuver in a driveway...how embarassing. Talked to Fox bout the rear remote but the forks have air fittings also and don't know the vendor or how to adjust (air, nitrogen, ?) any help would be appreciated.

Looking to hook up and ride with fellow SoCal riders soon.

drewl · 07-08-2008, 11:45 AM

That IS a good looking bike. Welcome aboard.

I don't think you want to lower it... then it'll really dive when you turn.

...front forks. I run 10psi in mine (just air)... but I'm 215lbs.

BTW: How close is the Bob's Big Boy to Universial City Walk? (bike meeting point)
PM me if you want to go ride. Mon.,Wed. after 10:00pm, Tues after 7:30pm

L8asusul · 07-15-2008, 08:31 PM

Bob's is about 2 miles north from Universal City walk. Entrance is off of Lankershim or Barham.

Would like to lower back by 1 inch, the front if a little twitchy.
