Re: VFR800 SSSA conversion
6 spoke wheels viewtopic.php?f=31&t=22118#p180062 believe for the vfr750 it's 94-97 That's great, thanks very much. I struggle to find what I'm looking for in specific threads because I have attention deficit issues which turn pages of text into an impenetrable fog of words, so I genuinely appr...

Re: VFR800 SSSA conversion
Im starting my journey too. Will probably do the swing arm also. I spoke to an engineer in the South West last week about getting the appropriate spacers made for the swing arm and vfr800 front wheel. It seems the rear shock dog bone also needs to be replaced with a custom item. Depending on cost I...

Re: VFR800 SSSA conversion
I've taken a poke about in older threads and searched on SSSA themes but I'm cursed with the attention span of a 6y/o. Also, my web access is currently limited to a Kindle which, whilst not wanting to be rude to Amazon, is a pretty sh*t tool for the job. I guess I was optimistically hoping a Bristol...

VFR800 SSSA conversion
Hi again everyone I've collected up a VFR800 wreck that has yielded a usable rear end and front wheel. Popkat has put me straight on the front wheel fitment, but I'm hoping to get some guidance on fitting the SSSA, specifically around which linkages work and spacer machining. If anyone with first ha...

Hi all Hopefully I'm not doubling up on an existing thread, did look but couldn't find anything dedicated to it. I'm fitting VFR800 wI sssa and front and rear wheels to my Firestorm project.

Hi Duffy
It was your build that I found online that brought me here. Kudos for sticking with it as long as you did.

Re: Forum newbie
Thanks for all the welcomes, and the interests chaps. I'm going to show my webunsavvyness now and plead absolute farkin ignorance in how to upload photos to these forums.

Re: Forum newbie
That all sounds suspiciously grown up Chris. :problem: I'll be starting a build thread soonish. As it stands I've got an engine in a frame with a front fairing mount snapped off the headstock writing the bike off. The chap I got it from not only sold it to me for a proper, proper mates rate 'oh, jus...

Re: Forum newbie
Thanks guys.. I'm enjoying reading through old threads. I get a sense there's a real affection for the VTR here, over and above what I would expect from an owners group for what is still (in my fuzzy and bewildered brain) a relatively modern bike. Particularly one that sort of slipped through the ne...

Hi all Had a good look round and it seems like a friendly place and so I thought I'd sign up. I'm not new to Honda based forums but I'm a Firestorm noob through and through. Picked up a '98 frame and engine plus some ancilleries last week and have the intention of creating a Monster inspired naked. ...
