VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

[Madness]

Was wondering why people were quoting old posts.

What a waste of a good bike. Fucking dumbass.

But, but, but he bought a Hyosung with the payout

Anybody got a nice aftermarket muffler/exhaust that they might consider selling?

[motorbyclist]

yes, but it's a bit big for the little v4... and the nc30 one is welded on :/

[VFRHondaman]

Had my VFR800 2000 model for about 6 months , hell of a bike, does everything i want.

So my vfr goes again. After 5 months of inattention and push biking to work.

On the near horizon is a set of glass fairings, powder coated wheels, new battery and some aftermarket led indicators. That's just to make it LOOK more legit. Then I can fix up a few more bits that are not quite optimal anymore..

So back out for round 5?

My little Infidel is coming along nicely now.

Got most of the alloy cleaned and polished up to its former glory, and the dog even likes it now (He's fussy!)

...I don't suppose anyone has a nice full stainless exhaust system just "lying round" they want to get rid of

Seriously gotta replace the headers and collector...rust is starting to win the fight down there

Anyone tried a Delkevic system?

looking at these presently:

Was thinking of getting a mate to pick them up when he goes over to the states at Xmas...worth it?...over kill?...or any other brands etc I should look at (or just go standard mild "I rust easy" steel)

[HenryDorsetCase]

looking good!

is it beyond getting stripped and HPC coated?

Sadly yeah...past that point mate
At the very least I could just replace the collector (Its held together with rust lol)...but the whole system is pritty rough to be honest.(Hay, its 16yrs old and mild steel...its done well to last that long)
So Im thinking a nice full stainless system may have to be the go (cost is damn scary tho)...or just go cheap and get a second hand orginal system.

I think you need to ring Racefit, and get a full titanium system.

Or get Bull Dock in Japan to build you one: check out the pipes on this bad boy:

but back in the real world, all of those solutions would be way more than you have in that bike!

...you teasing bugger! (damn the finish on the Z1 pipes is just amazing!...but yeah, just a "tad" to costly for me lol)
Ive got a mate going to the states in a few months...he just may end up posting me something shiny & stainless back (funds must be cleared by the missus first...wish me luck! )

I'm going to Nelson to buy one on Monday, glad to hear it's a good bike. I'm just glad to be getting a bike with a large tank, decent mileage, a centre stand and the battery under the seat!
