VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

GC's?

Hey, this might be suited to the general forum, but the bike got a major flat the other day, trailered it to ebbs motorcycles where they fitted a 2nd hand tyre I've had sitting there to go on 3/4 tread left). Since then I've noticed slight wobbling of the bars at 80km or above...I spoke to the guy there about it, he said its probably because they only statically balance the rear wheel, and that id need to go to a place that has an electronic balancer to fix it ...any one had this issue and would suggest the same? Just don't want to go spend 40$ for the privilege not for it to be fixed...

deal!

if it turns over it will start - probably bad fuel or water or something. They need a fairing IMO but it has a spare rear wheel which would make my spare chassis (with plate on hold) a runner. bada boom bada bing.

Like everyone else....I want them spares

By the way...if anyone has a front wheel going let me know!

[Icemaestro]

I'd be keen on the fairing!:-P and a few other bits and pieces...kiwibiker group buy?haha. That kosovo dash is rather nice, just doesn't look like its been done the best...why would you streetfighter a vfr!!!

Is it just me, or does the left fork look a little bent.

If someone buys it for parts I'd be interested in the muffler

[sil3nt]

This group buy thing is sounding like a good idea

shipping shit around probably makes it uneconomic

Hi There this is ebany from ebbs motorcycle it's not normal for your bike to wobble at any speed! the tyre may have a flat spot or the balance is not right.
I will also be having a word with my mechanic that did not inform me of this and letting you drive off with your wobbling bike all the work from ebbs comes with a 30 day warranty PS#if you think that what my mechanic is saying is not to your liking as to speak to me i am trying my best to build a trustworthy business to all my customers and friends.

Come in i will take care of your tyre and give you $50 off your next bill

I'm still using that dented one I got from Gary in Tauranga with the cut exhaust system
It'll do in the meantime, but I am on the lookout for something a bit tidier.
I was going to nab that Micron, but was unsure about the fit as I haven't heard of one for an NC30 either. Plus it didn't come with any mounting gear. It also looked kinda big.

I feel dirty posting this.. but I kind of like the type 1 scheme on the tyga tail.
Normally I am not a fan of trying to 'update' the looks of cool bikes; it just ends up looking tacky.
But for some reason, this one appeals to me.

What say you?
