so I've recently bought myself a birthday gift. A bike that I've wanted for much too long is finally in my possession.
**
1998 Honda VFR800 imported from USA.
** - Its got new brakes front and rear (brake rotors and pads) - Working Dual CBS system - Chain and sprockets in good shape - Lazer Exhaust - Back seat cover - CNC aluminium levers and handlebars - Fairings in good shape, undamaged.
I got it for reasonable price with expected initial maintenance of aprox 500$. - Oil and oil filter change - New set of tyres - Brake fluid change - Coolant change
Today I bought new helmet. I've tried about 10 different models of various brands and this one is by far most comfortable. Even in comparison with Bell Star Carbon which is 2 times the price.
Scorpion EXO-1200 - composite shell - air pump - internal visor - double D rings - 1350g Got it for discount price of $240
After cleaning the clutch reservoir. <img src="/uploads/default/original/3X/b/5/b59826100c2b2583acb6c7f3f79c6ccb7463ff31.jpg" width="720" height="405">
Coolant change isnt really a procedure, that could be photo-documented easily. I drained old coolant, flushed cooloing system with water to get rid of whatever remained there, filled up with new coolant from Motul and bled the system following the instructions in service manual.
Let me share with you guys and gals few photos from today's trip. I was surprised to find out that new asphalt has been laid on this beautiful forest road leading to a castle right next to where I live. With no tourists around, I had to take some shots.
Looks pretty beefy. I wear an Icon 1000 Basehawk jacket which has CE rated armor in the back, shoulder, and elbows. It's not as encompassing as that piece though! I've never t tried a dedicated back protected like that. Sees like it would do a better job, but be less convenient for commuting.
