Hey, I'm 6'1 on a 86 VF500 and I'm looking to get a bigger bike. It is ok for most stuff but after 1000 mi on a trip you start to feel all knees and elbows....
I was 6'3" when I bought my first 500. I rode that bike from CT to Deals Gap twice. I rode it home once:) Crashed at the Gap, broke my back, now I am 6'1" and...
Thanks for the input, going to take a look this afternoon and then figure it out from there, deals are slim in my neck of the woods so I need to grab whatever...
I'm 6'4", it's tight fit to say the least but it's a very fun ride. I've put 47K miles on mine and enjoy riding it. I've also riden the 84 Vf750F (as well as...
I'm 5'11 1/2" (to be precise) and I find the upright position to be very comfortable. This is the most "civilized" sport bike I have ever driven. Even my...
I will agree on the knees. my biggest problem has been back aches but not on the VF. I stretch my legs out every so often and people look at me weird (it's...
For cold weather and bug protection in wooded areas, I wear a big silk/satin scarf that my baby got me. it's about 30" square. I fold it in half diagonally...
This is one of the most contested subjects discussed on any automotive forum. Period. I personally have had problems with synthetic oil with my clutch. Some ...
I was thinking about putting some slip-ons on and wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions about brands or anything else. My stock exhausts are really...
OK, got the bike running yesterday. (ohh, I always forget just how much I love the sound of those Supertrapps on there). However, it seems my brakes are a...
... how do you KNOW when your pads are worn??? Is there a reliable way to know without pulling them off? ... Hmm... my rear wheel is kinda loud when I roll it...
Hopefully you already know this, but slip-ons are hard to find these days. Most companies have discontinued them and supplies are drying up. That said, for...
As I've said before, I highly recommend the Supertrapps. They have a bit more growl than scream that the modern crotch rockets have. It's just about the best...
You should be able to see them inside the caliper against the disc. There is a metal backing, then the darker colored pad itself. You're looking at the "ends"...
To reinforce what he stated, I have Supertrapps on my bike and I LOOOOVE the sound of it. I just got this bike and it's my first, but I definately like the...
I saw an Interceptor on campus today, appeared to be a 700, but what I found interesting was that it had a hard shell cover over the rear section of the seat....
You mean like it had a rider seat and insgead of a pillion seat, it had a shell? Did the shell look like a compartment? Hm.. interesting. C ... -- c h r i...
Correct, I checked on ebay and what looked similar were "rear seat cowls". Instead of the seat being converted into a one seater it didn't remove the original...

My understanding is that that is very rare. It's actually a Honda part and is made out of fiberglass I presume and not ABS, PVC, or other plastic. I have one...
When should steel lines be replaced? I have no idea how old mine are. I suspect that the internals rot just like conventional lines? ... From: Paul Litwack...
Don't. They cut down on the visibility from the rear and make it harder to see the bike, plus they ID you as a squid to be laughed at by anyone who ever...
I'm not entirely certain. They're stainless so they shouldn't rust. I guess I'd say once they start leaking would be time to replace them. Though I've heard...
