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...

Re: VFR front wheel swap

Re: Forum newbie

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

I've never managed it once, largely because my raging ADHD prevents me from being able to absorb the necessary info. I see it wri...

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...

Forum newbie

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. ...
