I used to work at a motorcycle shop, and I had to explain this to people all the time. Grrr.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this, or I guess I could be horribly wrong: the 190/50 rear tire was designed for a 6 inch wide rim. the 180/55 rear tire was designed for a 5.5 inch wide rim. If you put a 190/50 on a smaller rim, you aren't going to get the same measurements that are listed abo...

bigshooter... one more thing... Since you have a Superhawk, I assume you are in the US. Canada is the closest place to get Firestorm stickers and bodywork. Keep a close eye on Ebay, I purchased a complete Firestorm body kit (fender, tank, headlight, taillight, fairings, seat, etc.) for about $600. T...

The "restricter" he is talking about isn't in the carbs, it is in the exhaust. Remove the right side slip on and look down inside the header. You will see it. My opinion is to just buy the Two Brothers headers and be done with it. The headers don't make a big difference performance wise, b...

I had the same problem, fan wouldn't come on. My fuse was fine, fan turned by hand fine... problem arose after I changed ignition switches from 98 vtr to 2003 954RR ignition switch. I made the change in winter, so it took me a while to figure out the fan wasn't coming on. Anyway, my 98 vtr has a wir...

Hazmat, I have a spare cowl in the yellow for the 00 Storm, which is canary. It has a couple of nicks in it, but if it's the right one, drop me a line. That would be awsome! Does the yellow have a pearl look to it under sunlight? That has been my problem here. Some of the early US superhawks where ...

I am north of you just a bit, in the Phoenix area (Tempe). Give me a shout on Yahoo messenger if you need some help. I have family in Tucson so I go down ever once and a while.

:?: in searching for the tightest under the fender exhaust available for my 1998 superhawk, i came across an obscure but good looking brand of slip on called carbon force In america, nobody knows of them but I have a picture so I know they exsist. I have the picture but i am not quite sure how to s...

http://www.abercon.co.uk/vtr1000/gallery/65.jpg I have a matching yellow 929rr front fender now. Using all Honda parts gives the bike a real factory "it should have been like this" look. I have Canadian Firestorm bodywork on my Superhawk. US dealers will not service Canadian paint codes, ...

I know the 954/929 brake calipers will not fit the standard vtr1000 fork legs. I have heard, however, that they will with some grinding. I really doubt that is worth the effort. You will feel a big difference with the 954/929 master cylinder. The plunger is larger (by 3mm I think) so it makes lever ...

very nice ..and cheap too...looked at some helibars for mine...150quid for 1"1/8th higher :roll: cheers for the info.. :) I don't know what a quid is, but if I could get an extra 1" 1/8.... (sorry. juvenile yank here) To keep this on topic, don't look over the high priced bar risers just ...

The US ... still only a 16L tank.............. shezz yanks aye :wink: Yea.. I have to tell you that that little tank sucks here in the US. I have the Canadian Firestorm (same as UK spec I think) bodywork on my Superhawk. The bigger gas tank comes with a slight power loss, so I guess that is why the...

Wow. I have a 1998 vtr with the smaller tank, and I do much better than you guys on milage. On the way to California I held a solid 75 mph and got 48 miles to the gallon. On the way back, I held 115 mph and only got 26 miles per gallon! ( I was only dumb enough to do that once. ) My "commute&qu...
