VFR owners' thread, for VFRPS members and prospective members

[actungbaby]

I can either use the 18" rear, or get hold of some vfr750 wheels, which will be much cheaper and plentiful then rvf items. There's one on trademe at the mo for $500 !

Only trick is the vfr750 wheels are 4 bolt, so I'll have turn up a new hub to mount it, but that's no trouble. Also it's a 5" wide, so the tires would be 160section, but that just means I'll have to ride it harder

Are you kidding 500 for a rim is it brand new or what talk about rip of if its second hand ?

[motorbyclist]

$500 for a good condition second hand RVF400 rear rim is pretty much the price. Its all supply and demand, baby.

Yes second hand, they are rare like rocking horse p00z.

What he said..

It's irrelevant anyhow. I can get a set of slicks at my house for around $550 (17" front, 18" rear), which is pretty much the going rate for slicks anyway.

I'm pretty carefully considering buying that rim for the VFR rolling chassis I have. (with rego on hold). Then all I need is a RD500 motor, and a whole buncha money. A whoooooole bunch.

I wonder if that's the one that was for sale at Casbolts when I lived in Chch (1994-1996)? I had a VF500 at the time, and dearly wanted to buy it. Ended up keeping the VF for a few more years, before buying a VFR like Warr's one.

me too i was so close to buying that bike as well just was moving to plamerston north after working last 8 years in chch
my true home town .. only reason was declined on the finance because if just left my job and was inbetween jobs aghhhh

20 Plus years latter well fast froward to 2012 and i finally managed to get one

was it the amiercian vfr 700 model i think i did like white one too i remmber drooling of both models in there

Keihin FCR33's are still available - but you'd have to buy a bank of four and cut them up then make linkages....not hard for a man like you.

The Roberts bikes in the early couple of seasons of F3 here had what were rumoured to be HRC kit carbs......

l dont know if the carbs on a nc30 in a fcr state are molded to link closey togetter ? or are they like this rc30 set that looks like it can me done fine?

The FCR's in all those have unmodified bodies as far as i can see. Linkages are a pain. The RC30's have more room obviously. From the sound of things there may be a few sets for the NC30's floating round but if you can't find one then I'm sure it's possible to cut an inline set to suit.

The biggest thing with the NC's is to finish the crank properly - Honda don't ! Properly radiused oil holes on the crank will keep the bottom end together as will going to the thinnest shells - yellow if I remember right. They're way too tight as standard.

The first two NC30's to be raced in ChCh both did big ends, luckily with no crank damage. I sorted both well before Casbolts even had a parts fische.

Mine are 32mm. The bodies are unmodified but the linkages are pretty complex! I have a lot of detail pics if your are interested because as your probably have found out, these things are like rocking horse shit - even finding any pics on the net are near impossible:

I have loads of other detail pics that I haven't posted, so if you need any, then give me a shout and i'll upload them. Yeah, van is toast and it sucks the bike was in the back as it has sidelined me since.
