It should operate all the locks--they're not sophisticated. Maybe the wafers/pins in the tank lock are worn, and the key is too perfect? Try...
Best protection is probably using your eyes, though. That might allow you to spot a 12 year-old thread... (But, now that nobody has asked my...
No problem. Suspending heavy stuff from a roof can be a dodgy proposition, because most roof supports are designed only to do that: support the...
Looks like you may have enough room to stack some bikes, but it will be close. But if you can use an electric hoist all you'd need is some heavy...
You may, but unfortunately, the way a pallet stacker works (unlike a forklift), if the sled is sitting on the floor for loading, the stacker's...
Thanks, Mello, and I hear the concern in your message. Yes, now that I think about it, I agree wholeheartedly that the "bridge" sections can be...
Well, I bet the beer is cheap! All joking aside, I hope you find the bike you're looking for. Fortunately, it's hard to find a bad VFR...
I recently bought an old house in the Netherlands and I'm slowly transforming my ground-floor garage (under the house) into a useful bike storage...
Sorry for asking a potentially silly question, but why not just leave the coils swapped over, and enjoy life? Ciao, JZH
Not having a garage at all would be a problem. I'm definitely not a big fan of "JB welding", either... However, according to the unimpeachable...
I see that the eBay lowering kit swaps an adjustable double rod-end for the OEM dogbone, and is used with the OEM triangular side plates. It...

FYI, I'm sure you know this, but these bikes were only available in a few colours each model year. There were only two 5th gen colors ever...
I feel a bit torn between the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front (RIP the Judean Popular People's Front)... Let's just see...
M8 x 1.25 is the one you need. Cheap as chips, fortunately. The only "unusual" thread used on VFRs is the M10 x 1.25 ("normal" is M10 x 1.5),...
I had long been familiar with OEM Honda connectors, but it wasn't until I got into OEM Toyota connectors that I really started to understood the...
Very odd. Are you putting anything on the threads? Lubricants throw off torque readings. Ciao, JZH
The RC36 fuel tap/petcock is not vacuum operated. It can be re-built, however. You drill out the rivets, tap for M3 or M4 screws and replace the...
I've done a fair amount of international parts purchasing over the years, so I feel your pain, but ffs a $800 "de minimis" exemption was way more...
