nah something is wack with the 97/98 fireblade yearing in NZ.. the 98 blade is next gen, diff fairings n stuff to the 96/97 RRV which is the only one to have the double slots in the tail, the 98 one has diff instruments.. diff fairings and shape, honday prob fucked with heaps of stuff for the revised model. but for some reason there seems to be 98 bikes here registered and listed as 97 bikes.. or something.
I often got what they told me were 97 parts from honda dealer which were not for the RRV but for the next version
Hi great to hear sort lost intrest in the vt 500 i brought of tm for 500.00 . done the

told.
not by guy i brought from was great guy he just didnt have time to finish it
I get onto it next got cam sorted from encho honda .engine seems fine. except rockers
Pins bit out of square wear i guess from being too loose ? have not seen that before.
shaft drive looks good oh front brake disc looks bit worn i know cast iron but looks bit poked to me.
got work on the brakes , but engine is what wanted to sort flushed change the radiator fulid.

[QUOTE=actungbaby;1130573967]yes i did wonder i looked at ebay f middle left middle farings and look diffrent to me .
just post a few pics if can find them sold my phone hopefully pay for vfr 750 fairings.
and plastic welding of the cbr 900 rr top front section. bit holds lights in .
Fairing stay is bent so bit out whack but will look getting another or getting it fixed ?.
Thinking metal craft..
Know forks are out doh thought the clip ons went under the top clamp like on the vfr
They dont so bit lazy getting it on something to support it and as need to take front wheel
Of for 3 time i want change the tire at the same time.. and suggestions
I used car jack under pipes under the sump but leant over not fun..
I know rear stand but dont have one..
Jack it up on the RHS on the lower part of the frame, swingarm or suspension linkage so it leans over on the side stand.![]()
Bloody nice looking project you have yourself mate, I'd kill (not really) for a 'Blade like that
I put lids on and push the plastic carb slide right up took cover of
was pushed up like tee pee and just pushed back down and keep seal flat
In carb groves fair amout float on the main needle not sure she how she goes.
Thanks dude .. mine are all in one seal i asusme didnt see any gasket as such.
well as the first good bike after two lemons well vt 250 was a lemon
vt 500 not sure if i get fired up .
this was 3rd 900rr firblade first i won and ticked insurance guy of cause asked to
have little time to come up with money .. got rather cross with me.
that was crashed yellow one in auckland . was another i got out bidded on
white damm intenet went down on me grr so been 2 years trying.
Most i cant afford 5000 for newer one. yeah am surprised was alot better
Than hoped for .. vfr 750 was gamble cause the chassis . fairings front light.
spent 2000 on it just in second hand parts love the bike..its
got charcter the sound wonderfull its more sedate it take you around.
its solid it gets warm though rear cylinders cook you in summer .
cbr cost me 1500. 700 for re vining tires 2 x oil its going cost more than i
get to sell..i started it the risk is the engine if its good great.
Oh on starting it i cant say i went wow .. i go wow this is light..
I rode down the street few feet no brakes engine didnt idel so didnt feel
comfortable didnt feel great i must say low bars well see.
I sell it mind you i dreaded ridding vfr 750 and ended up loving it who knows.
what nice delemia love your kawaski what your done is brillent.
you way more tallented than me i just bolt things on you change things.
chain and pads all round .
ps guy brought from great guy he didnt crash it either .. good dealing with good people.
everthing said about bike was 100 % right
I but two car jacks under the forks too push them up. mistaken idea
I choudint work out why brake hose and master cylinder fit not long enough..
doh oh yeah clip ons under the top clamp.. know got mover forks in lower clamp.
with vfr 750 i used mx5 rim and tire but sold it aghhh sat on that for month ..
no forks thet first thing got rid of 2/12 hours drag the bitch opps my lovley bike
sidways into shed . no wonder they came of .. gee bike ugly with no forks.
no front wheel . ever ridden bike with no front mud guard. i have talk about
in your face exp on wet day oh my.. ;-) Honesty nah i found whole exp
nasty trying move forks and bloody bike moving.
I thought building a raised platform and ramp up to it .. but think thats bit
nasty too dont think work. and 180kg still 180kg. if falls on you.
so i take of the honda wheel (tire saver spare useless for the task)
jack it up on header as save possible damage to sump . then slide
the whell under , another problem with it was rear wasint flat on ground either.
not good when taking front one of to do the forks.hehe
