No I was just kinda wondering about the swap of the front forks. After doing a search on the front forks it came up with several threads where...
Man that's a good deal on those shocks. I never would have guessed they were that cheap. That is great. I will definitely pick one up and the...
Went riding this morning and was paying more attention to what my suspension is doing. The rear seems to wallow around when I start pushing the...
Wow only 40 bucks. Man that's a great deal. I will surely look into that
Thought I would see if there are any other vfr forum riders in my area and that would want to do some riding? Been riding the dirt bike scene for...
Real interesting stuff. On that race tech spring calculator it said my rear spring is the right rate. But having all the adjustability and...
Yeah maybe I should keep saving my money so that I can get one and still keep my vfr. I have never ridden one before but I knew on a short ride...

Thanks for the replys. If you had to give up your vfr for the rc though would you? I like taking 3 to 4 hour rides most Sunday mornings and all...
For the longest time I have considered getting a rc 51. Unfortunately my finances and wife sort of limit me to just one streetbike for now. So to...
Thanks for the advice. If I go with what race tech or one of those spring calculators say I should run, how much less preload do you suggest...
Thanks, what kind of spring is the oem? Is it a straight rate or is it considered a progressive rate? I'm assuming it is progressive. And is that...
This thread came up on a search. Is anyone one still riding this loop? Sounds like fun. Its a little far for me as I'm in florence al. But always...
Maybe if I ask this differently. On the 98 vfr front forks is there any easy way (besides stiffer springs) to modify them to be stiffer in the...
I recently changed my oil in my forks and raised the fluid a little over stock. Stock is 130mm and I'm trying 115mm with 10wt maxima fork oil....
