So sorry to hear about your prang, OO. And a real PITA not knowing why it happened. My last crash in 2015 happened on a great sunny day on a dry...
As I said my experience with AllBalls fork seals and steering head bearings has been great. I get a little tired of visiting my local Honda dealer...
Sounds to me like your cooling system might need some love. Lots of older VFR's (my 99 included) have needed new thermostats installed, the old...
I have used All Balls parts in the past with good results. Some suggestions: Break loose the fork cap before you pull the forks out of the bike...
So...who is the fairing supplier that you'd recommend? I bought some 5G parts from Auctmarts and they worked out really well, I sent them a...
A better thing to do (a little more major perhaps) is swap the lower fork legs for VTR1000F units (use the 3/4/5 uppers) and then get some decent...
Yep, still liking that a whole lot, Owned. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, I'll have to call in one day and feign interest in a Triumph! IIRC that business used to be owned by (struggles with failing memory) a...
Just out of interest are you sure you have the top-out spring installed? This sits on the outside of the damper rod and is what limits maximum...
The disc bolts are steel threaded into alloy, so IMO it is unlikely they can be torqued high enough to stretch the steel. I cleaned and re-used...
I saw a suggestion recently that you could push a decent-sized screwdriver through the swingarm/engine as you pull the bolt out, which would keep...
Yeah! Bring on the anti-inflammatories!
No, my puppy days are long gone. I'm more of a old porch dog these days.
Thanks Greg, the 400 was a fun little beastie, and the RC30-esque paint was very pretty. [IMG][IMG] I have a hankering to buy an NC30 at some...
My local GP is Chinese with a surname of OOI. He has DROOI on his car, I haven't the heart to tell him I initially thought it said DROOL.
Waaaay back when (my guess is 1987) personalised plates were first released in New Zealand, and a friend suggested I should buy one. I had no idea...
Two thumbs up from me. Very neutral steering, compliant, and seem to be wearing very well. They feel a little rounder in profile than the Z8's I...
I decided that my ST1100 was just too damned hot to ride today; the fairing takes away all the nice cooling breezes. Instead the VFR was pressed...
Here's a Dropbox link to a service manual for the RC24 that I found somewhere on the net:...
