mello dude

The entire tool kit together is obsolete, but you can buy the chain tool.... http://www.powersportsplus.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/2001/VFR800FI+A/TOOLS/parts.html

On my RFID card, I took a hole punch to it. No RFID, gone, gone.

Hey - Xenia guy - I are enginerd too.

Well - how were the WV roads?

When I find something that works I usually stick to it. The ProHonda HP chain lube (red can) works good for me. Its a blend of telfon and moly and its a dry film type. My chains go about 24k. (I hate chain wax)

Wow - thats sooo right on Mike Brown... and Marvin Lewis too. http://www.mikebrownsucks.com/about_us.html

Damn that bike looks fun.....

^^^^ Now that you bring that up - that area is popular with canoes and kayaks. I'm guessing the guy had to be checking out some bikinis instead of looking at the road. Been thru there hundreds of times and its tough to go anything but straight.

How the hell does anybody hit a gaurd rail on a perfectly straight section of bridge? There's no corners in that area of road.

Volts is Volts

Your name sounds like a vodka brand.. Yeah - do shots of CrazySkullCrusher Vodka, you wont feel a thing!

Dude - fantastic job, very cool. I live by the Dayton mall, can I come see it or we meet up? PM me.

- Stock sizes for a VFR800 btw -

--Ideas from another engineer geek-- -Honda is probly the best shot, the tech center in CA is the top US location if at all. Dunno if they engineer bikes in Ohio anymore. - See if you can find motorcycle engineers via linked in and hook up, there might be a cycle engineer group. - Maybe Harley or Polaris - Dunno if the tech school would be a plus, it may pin you backward, focus on engineering. - Look at small US motorcycle companies and suppliers too - MOTAD (sp?) - Motoczysz, there are a couple others that I'm drawing a blank on. Possibly some small build it shops too. - The electric bike wave is just starting, mbe look at that. - Work damn hard on your CAD skills. Companys now want engineers that do the whole pie - design, develop, build and run the whole project. - Get some basic project management courses as electives will help. - Start figuring a favorite part of discipline that your prefer and study that too. Engines? Suspension? Brakes? or Other? Each is a engineering career in itself. - Dont overlook the racing industry - Be mobile - Learning Japanese is a def plus. - Willing to move to Japan? That's my list of brainstorming fodder - good luck dude.

I wish you the best dude, good luck. But I really dont think it will go together.

Lessee.... digging a bit.... 2001 Buell Blast -- 34 hp -- 492cc.... Bore x Stroke..... 88.9mm x 79.4mm or 3.49999 x 3.1259 (inches) Dude, your talking uping the bore a full half inch. Chances are your cylinder wont even make it to that.
