Hi
Should the amount of up and down slack in a chain be set with or without being sat on the bike?

Try Peter James insurance.
They haven't charged me for changing bikes.

You've caught me out..
They're cbr600 f3 forks with an f2 wheel.
The m/cylinder is from an f2.
But they work well, there's a lot of lever travel but it's not needed as I can do one finger stoppies.
I may go down this route with the Vtr, but use the 65mm pitch calipers instead.

Thanks. I had just read that post before coming back here. Very informative. There are ready made caliper adapters available from Japan that enable Brembo fitment. I have these fitted to my Vfr http://i1158.photobucket.com/albums/p616/rogertwild/20140414_173144_zpsvyv42nfn.jpg http://japan.webike.ne...

Are they a straight swap?
I changed the fluids on Friday, its better but....typical Honda of the period.
I suppose a service won't go amiss.

Hi
At the moment I have a standard brake setup with braided hoses, they're sh1t compared to my 87 Vfr.
Admittedly it's got Brembo calipers fitted.
Is there a way to improve the standard set up without the expense of Brembos?

I also had a squeek.

Subframe is a non-starter on a standard bike. It is a gen 2 Aprilia RSVR subframe cut & shut to fit. Then the undertray from the same bike with all the electrics relocated. The exhaust hangers wouldn't line up and there's a fair amount to do to get the race seat unit to sit right. It took ages ...

Wouldn't mine an ally subframe to replace the rotting one I have.
Are they available commercially or is it a custom job?

You'll never take me alive copper

Does it HAVE to be Mosfet? Have a good read through the link above > "MOSFET Regulator/Rectifiers - The Why & The How" that describes the difference between Shunt and Mosfet R/Rs, the advantages of Mosfet and lists what models and years are suitable to be used. The one youve bought fr...

Wait untill they park up again.
Then get your friends round and do unto them.
