Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Dropped the engine out of the Mrs VF750C to replace 1st and 6th gear.
Fun (Not)...It's a heavy lump. And the exhaust collector has corroded through in two places, so need to patch that up too. |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Got some handguards for the pointy, but it's too dark to fit them by the time I get home from work, so this will be a tinker project for the future
If anyone has fitted them, are there any issues to look out for? The instructions look pretty straightforward but I'm always wary of things that look easy - they're the jobs that take most of a day instead of 30 minutes |

No issues, its more placement, and getting them where they won't foul stuff.
They work pretty well for keeping the chill off your fingers too. |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
thanks for that, might dragoon some help with getting the placement "just so"
Glad to hear they keep the chill off, that's what I was hoping for - bit cheaper than electric gloves |

Fitted a new exhaust to my VFR800 and loosened the handlebars ready for the 32mm riders to go on when they arrive. A good day. Bike sounds awesome now!

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Out of interest, what type/brand guards are they and where did you buy them. I'm quite tempted to get some but only want something cheap and cheerful...
