There is a BIG part of your problem right there. A 180 on a 4.5" rim (I'm assuming it's an F2 rim) is not good, regardless of what it actually...
By the way Speedfrk... what size tire do you have on the rear? It looks really wide in your pic for some reason.
I guess what I was driving at is that the chassis can take quite dramatic changes and still be stable. If it feels slow turning, than make a...
86 shock is 265mm 87 shock is 275mm I have both on my bench right now. EDIT 1/20/24: 86 shock is ~270mm, 87 shock is ~280mm. Measured with...
I have some suggestions I can elaborate on when I'm on a real computer, but... Are you sure it is your pump? They don't prime or run by just...
"Upload a File" button, "Choose File" and navigate to a picture stored on your device, Choose "Thumbnail" or "Full Image" or just keep it as an...
When was the last time you restored a 30 year old VFR that never had its chassis cleaned? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There is STILL some baked on chain...
Clearly. This was a "new to me" bike that I don't think was ever really washed. Baked hard and had to use plastic to scrape off the first...
When I was cleaning my 92 of YEARS of hard caked, gritty chain lube and road grime, there was no fucking way WD-40 on a rag would do shit. Same...
I have never heard of, or come across, a gas cap that won't close because of the old gasket. But to answer your question, the seal/gasket was...
Gasoline and a tooth brush. Seriously.
GREAT choice! Congrats and enjoy. Also, a pic in your first post... you don't get a second chance. Good job. Start a thread for your new...
Interesting, thank you. Yeah, VF1000F bars, or maybe Hawk GT. Lower triple appears to be RC36, could you snap a pic looking up at the stem...
You're tall enough and big enough to ride whatever the fuck you want. Get a yellow VFR with some patina and enjoy life. Or get a Versys and have...
Gotta get the ass in the air and/or the front end down. Are the fork caps even with the top of the clipons? The chassis geometry on the VFR can...
I was in the zone that day. Wanted to do other shit, but HAD to get it done that day.
How tall are you and how much do you weigh? What is your astrological sign? Do you like corners or straights? Coke or Pepsi? Do you want to...
Then get a yellow 2000, motorcycles should have some passion involved. These bikes are all "old" now, there's no issues keeping a 5th Gen on the...
No. But I say CDO so it's in alphabetical order.
No in my opinion. If done one at a time I don't see how the "system" can change.
Separate names with a comma.
