jbctown Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Nice Find. Now we can do that 3-400 mile day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garysol1 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 - Since you have a '98, the achilies heel of the thing is the R/R. Check to see if its the original one or its been replaced. Those suckers die at about 13 - 15k miles. Save your pennies for a replacement - it will crap out, guarenteed. .My 96 ate the R/R. I did the PC fan mod on the replacement. It seemed to work.......

Fonzie Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 BTW.... Really like this shot of her. Think it's a combo of the red on green contrast with the angle of the shot & the angle of the hill in the background..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's a combo of the red on green contrast with the angle of the shot & the angle of the hill in the background.....Not to mention the exposure is pretty good on the bike itself! The concrete is "blown out" but are we really wanting to eve see the concrete? Sorry to go slightly technical on ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyJ Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Updated link for this --- http://www.wiremybike.com/+1 for tightwad and the VFRness. My '94 never ate an R/R while I had it, but my '98 cooked it and the big wiring connector within 100 miles of my ownership. I also added a secondary fuse box to wire grip heaters at the same time.Worth the peace of mind to avoid hiking home from Coshocton.(PS also get like 10-15 of his plastic rivet thingys for when you break all of them doing your first oil change. The original Honda ones were designed by the same idiot who designed the R/R ) Edited April 22, 2010 by AndyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concrete is "blown out" but are we really wanting to eve see the concrete? Sorry to go slightly technical on ya.How about my light pole in the back ground? I tried every angle to move it out of the picture but between my laziness (my truck was on the other side of the driveway and I was not moving it) and the angle of the sun I had no choice..... Exposure was right out of the Canon Rebel and is untouched. Not bad for a consumer level body and lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a pretty good living as a Sports Photographer at the highest level for years. I can take criticism but the nice thing is now I don't have to give a shit......

adamgh81 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Great purchase man! If/when I get rid of my RC, a late model VFR800 will probably replace her as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Enjoy it! I unfortunately don't have an RC51 to compare my 6th gen to, but I get the drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanlot17 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just got rid of my 94 vfr.. You can ride that sucker all day! There is nothing like a V4 cam drive unit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluezx6r Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 One of my friends just bought a 84 VFR. It only has 3000 miles on it, It "was" in great shape too. He drove from Columbus all the way to the border of Indiana to pick it up. Drove all the way back in the rain and on the Final exit off 70w onto Hilliard-Rome rd he turned to fast and it fell, breaking the rear taillight, and turn signal. He was pissed, to say the least.
