  1. I like to send my forks and shock to this guy, he does the work, and ships it back. Painless... http://daughertymotorsports.com/
  2. I think I got it...just needed patience... (what's that?) - My bench setup is just the MC, a short brake line, and a spare CBR rear caliper in a vise. I just prefer to get fluid moving and confirm the rebuild is good before installing on the bike.... I still hate working with any brake fluid and bleeding.... sometimes its 10 minutes and its good to go, other times its screw with for an hour or more, and not get anywhere. Bleah! I saw you posted you wrecked.... so the frame is toast? Curious as to your plans.
  3. Trying to bench prime/bleed a fresh rebuild of front brake master cylinder, it doesnt wanna go.... stubborn as hell. Any suggested tricks?
  4. Awesome sprocket there dude..... - I think Riders Discount, the sponsor here has the best prices on DID chains, I just got one myself,.
  5. That is a common issue in the VFR world, heck Honda world too. The charging system sucks, so the typical fix is to ditch the OEM R/R and goto a Shindengen SH847 or FH020 from Roadstercycle http://roadstercycle.com/ Then wire it direct to the battery. Also ... eliminate the connector R/R to the stator and solder the wires together. Cheers
  6. Holy shit, that looks fun! I bet the track floor is slick.... This is Cincy?
  7. Damn dude, more power to you..... I don't know if I could do the same so soon....
  8. I am on 6 or 7 motorcycle forums and from hanging out too many years I have read that the windscreen hot sun magnifying glass thing seems to be a common occurrence on multiple bikes. I have a burn mark on the dash on my VFR.... gotta remember to bring a carry cloth to throw over on ride stops....
  9. Pauly, that's terrible this happened. Wish the best for you and Amanda
  10. I got the same email...... anybody else? Scam!
  11. The far right is any Honda linked brake system routing....
  12. Hey VFR guy... I had a '95 just like yours and rode the piss out of it, Pennsylvania to Georgia... awesome bike... And now I have a much modified '98 5th gen...... have had some form of VFRs for 20 years........yup, I'm addicted... Cincinnati? We prob could meet up sometime........

    My mom

    My mother did the same, had heart surgery and a week later, it caused a stroke. She could barely talk, see or walk after that. Very tough going. I feel for you man, best wishes
  14. Looking for tire mounting in Dayton area without going 50 bucks a wheel. (Dealer!) - I thought there was a guy around Tipp City that would go $25 each? What say you?
  15. I used to screw with my own fork maintenance , but in the last few years, I have gotten lazy, I just send them to - Jamie Daughtery at DMr Motorsports - Ft Wayne, Indiana..... http://daughertymotorsports.com/ ---- Jamie is a Japanese and Ducati suspension guru.... Ship the forks to him, he does the work I want.... I work on other shit on the bike in the mean time, forks come back perfect, I reinstall.... painless and priced reasonable.. Maybe check with Jamie for his input...
  16. Lemme throw out a scenario for spinning...... I am kinda considering buying a bike out west, then riding and visiting family in LA , then riding North to visit friends, family in Vancouver.....and head back east visiting others as I work my way back to Ohio.......... Registration wise, how do I pull it off? Temp tag? Out of state temp tag or?
  17. Thanks for that report....Range is definitely a problem. I imagine recharge time would be the same.
