I've managed to find a RHS one, but was only able to reach one of my four VFR parts boxes. Pretty sure I've got at least one more RHS one and a LHS in one of the other boxes, if you're interested.

The only one I was able to reach was a LHS stock rearset, sorry!

Cheers :-) if you find one in another box let me know, otherwise I'll buy one off devy next week :-). If you have a pillion lock you'd be my hero - currently looking at going all the way down to hawkes bay to get that and swap a few other things

Ok, So its official im at the point where I am almost out of tread, still WOFable, but only just, I was thinking about getting some Michelin Pilot Road 3's, But I found they do a 120/60 17 front,
but they do a 160/60 18 rear, the OEM specs are 150/60 18, would the added width cause any issues?,
Was looking at the Michelin Pilot Road 3's becouse the road I have to road on a daily basis is twisties and the fact that I live in Dunedin can only spell Rain every 28 days of the month.
Any help/suggestions etc etc would be awesome.

Uhh yah that too, I done last winter on the 250 and survived some pretty hectic conditions, but its not tooooo bad as I live beside the harbour, its the black ice on the blind corners that gets ya, At the moment im snaking all over the show in the wet due to the lack of anything on my wheels, even in the dry its not good

Love the vfr400r, but im keener on getting the RVF400R, the old cbr600 is a bit sluggish in the twisties and i dont mind losing a bit of top end speed for agility. Now to find a low k 1 on trademe...

Good luck. Racefactory just picked up the only low(ish depends on what you call low) RVF i have seen for a long time.

Your not gaining much by getting the RVF over the VFR. They do seem to be better kept by their owners though.

**racefactory** · 17th April 2011, 21:14

K's really don't mean anything but my one happens to have quite low ks anyway... I'm not looking to part with it though unfortunately. but check it out anyway http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-368188811.htm. Don't be afraid to purchase one with 100k or so as it's all about condition with these bikes. My best running NC30 I've owned had way over 100k on the clock and had the slickest gearbox and brakes, far better than a 19k 'minter' I owned not so long ago. Good luck.
