Thanks to the gentleman and scholar, Jheadx, for the hookup on his old project. Lots of plans for this one, but no real budget, so don't hold your breath.



Goodies:

Penske rear shock
Built forks (might keep em cause ABS)
Power commander
Duc 999 radiator that needs to have new fittings welded on for the conversion
no SSSA conversion needed


did I mention a V4?



Jared, post up so everyone can rep you raw.

I want to hear the V4 music

Great bike, my brother has one, i've given it a spin: awesome, love it when you feel the v-tec kick in!

Built forks (might keep em cause ABS)

ABS was an option, i can't see an ABS disc, are you sure it has it? There is the CBS system though which i think can cause headaches if you start switching calipers etc.

Looking forward to updates however long between them, SUB'ed!

That can should make it sound like a fucking NASCAR

sweet. cut as much weight off of it as you can and centralize the mass thats left as much as you can and they handle quite nicely.

Nice bike it looks like it had lots of potential

nah, not 100% on the abs, but there is some hardlines and two little thingys on top each caliper. CBS? I'm new to das Viffas. I haven't even began reading up on them yet.

Since the suspension is already upgraded, I don't think I'm going to swap the forks, and I like VFR rims, so they stay too.

The can is ala Jared, and I'm afraid, not staying. I'm still tossing around ideas. The only problem is I have two builds and no monies. I had to put the parts biz on hiatus for school.....boooooo

off topic

My brother in law works around the corner at Joe Gibbs Racing. I spend lot's of time there!









OK, back to VFR talk and V4 sex

 

[Cookie2000ad]

CBS?


I like VFR rims, so they stay too.

CBS = Combined Breaking System, the front and rear are linked.

The later 800 wheels were pretty much my favourate stock wheels until i saw the Triumph split 5 spokes i've got lined up for my VTR. Love 'em!

Damn these things sounds sexy. I'll be watching this for sure. One of these days I need to pick me up one.... when I have space, time and money lol.


I never got the point of that CBS system, was it "supposed" to be better? Or is that how they integrated the ABS in? Weird

 

[Cookie2000ad]

It just puts a little of the rear brake on when you pull the front, it helps keep the bike more flat under braking, of course an experienced rider should know when and where to do that anyway.

They do sound lovely, sitting behind my brother on the road with even his stock "shotgun" cans blatting in my face, i was quite jealous when riding my old CBR!

Anyway, i'll quit with the thread hi-jack!

 

[thaOrleanyte]

Please feel free to jack my thread silly :/


I don't know if I like the idea of combined braking, and it's ugly as shit.

 

[Cookie2000ad]

I think they are a bit of a PITA to de-link and the front alone is supposed to be a bit weak without it. It's probably more hassle than it's worth unless you are mad keen on burnouts...... wait what am i saying!? DOOOOOOooo it!

:shocker:

 

[thaOrleanyte]

Cookie, could you help me with HTML for my sig?

 

[gsf1200R]

the proper term is LINKED BRAKE SYSTEM

See what it does is when you hit the rear brake it uses the front left brake as well. never took one off but i know its a PITA to bleed sometimes during servicing

 

[gsf1200R]

U go to NASCAR?

I GO FOR THE NOISE, AND THE BEER AND THE WRECKS. Oh and i get Pit Passes from my Hook Up at the Jail

 

[CtotheQ]

Damn, jealous dude. I'll be watch in this
