Bought it, read it, read it again, shared it with several motorhead friends then donated the signed copy to my local library. Going to buy another copy for myself just because it is a well written story of a pivotal moment in two wheeled time. If you read and if you ride; read this book.

So, can you comment a little on the engagement point of the clutch? I have the rcs16 and it doesn’t fully disengage until almost full retraction. I heard the RCS 19 is almost the opposite where it disengages immediately (very little lever retraction). Is this your experience with the ‘19? Agree with your assessment of the Rcs19 brake master. It is legit!

So your bracket and Brembo m4 100mm combo didn’t require any spacers?

Good To Know!

This conversion caught my eye so watched your video. Tickles and frustrates in equal measure when people double or three times torque a bolt. One click only is all that is required.

The 12 O'clock Labs Speedo healer is much simpler to install and calibrate. It is a direct plug into the speed sensor harness. No extra wiring. No app is needed to set up the healer. I rode with a GPS mounted on the bike and compared the GPS to the speedometer reading, and came up with a negative 12% adjustment. A few pushes of a button on the healer, and it was done. I took another ride and confirmed the speedometer is now the same as the GPS reading. Seems to be happy right next to the PC 3. No interference. It does what I needed to make the speedometer accurate. It doesn't offer the other options you mentioned, but those seem unnecessary.

The Corbin seat was was crap imo.

I know that road I ride it all the time going from Cambridge to Hamilton lol

2005 was the best yamaha in rossis carrier.

Hillcrest, Park and Maple streets are all in a subdivision called Grand Vista Gardens, built beginning in the 60's

Worked for Mr and Mrs Fulton in the '70s . I worked in the yard , house , shop , house Sat for days and even weeks. I was even the butler during the hunt for the fox ...I've seen the Douglas motorcycle in his garage and seen him ride it.He had his own airstrip on the property and an airplane on the front lawn and in a barn restoring it . He spoke Mid-Atlantic...he was an interesting man .

Derek was a great rider and was unlucky not to get a works ride but when he beat the Honda team in the IOM Redman.s bike was in trouble and Macintyre's Honda broke down when he was away in the lead these are facts.

doing a video on my write off which is only about 4 small scratches!

Cut your own finger before sell this bike❤

Thanks for the video. Just bought this jacket in all black.

Can you use a different Honda bike adjuster for the RC51 since they don’t sell RC adjusters anymore ?

i remember grabbing glass bottles of 7up outta that pepsi planter. you would reach in and the bottles were sitting in 3" of freezing cold water. the best

I had an 84 1000F and found it to be an excellent sport/touring bike at a time that type of bike didn't really exist yet. Picked up an 85 VF1000R couple of years later and quickly found it had less usable torque than the F did around town. On the F I could run around town at 30MPH in high gear and could leave it there. Once I got to the end of town and speed limit went back to 60MPH the F would happily accelerate. The R on the other hand required a downshift to keep up until 50MPH. The deal breaker on the R was how it rode in a crosswind. A sudden gust of a crosswind while riding at speeds in excess of 60MPH would push the bike in the opposite direction you expected? The F did not do that. I also rode an 83 V65 Magna the first year they arrived. That bike had balls. Not the best seating position for sudden acceleration though. My current ride is an 02 Yamaha Fz1. My favorite bike after just over 40 years of riding.

Tire hugger not inner fender ya dork

Timeless classic 👌,, wondering if you still have it ?

WOW. I live in Hamilton, ride as well, and didn't know this existed.

Just had to replace my front rim. Big pothole in a sketchy spot.

Those look like a longer version of my Tech 1 M4

Hey I know this is an old video, but do you recall where you got your mirrors or did you buy a carbon fiber wrap like you would for a car and coat them yourself? I recently got an rc51 and it came with carbon front and rear fenders that look great and I feel mirrors would compliment them well.

another one that is a must is the gills

Watching you remove that tail piece was painful.

I was about to change to steal braided lines but in order to switch to that do i need to purchase different connection from master cylinder to brake line?

Who still sells those front turn signals?

I installed a chain slider but wanter to clean the hub, but when i assemble everything i lost the feel on the clutch, should i bleed out the clutch?

Bring more light to him. I pray he gets his share of light posthumously. Amen

Great video! Easy to follow. You were clear and detailed. Thank you

Rutter not Rutler!

I have a question about the rubber hoses that are hanging (clear and black) My clear hoses are about 1/4 filled with oil? Should I unplug them and drain it out?

How you make your cluster blue?

Almost sold my 04 RC51. After watching videos like this, It completely changed my mind. I know I would regret it. Great video!

I have a 2002 SP2, brakes are excellent. Have radial master, use HRC pads, stock rotors, SS lines. 28k miles, can still lock up my SC2 front at any speed if not careful. In fact grabbed a handful at 160 and blew out both front fork seals a while back and destroyed the front fender.

Just been there today, and BY LUCIFER'S BEARD! The Hoser Dog, with a side of Chili Cheese fries, and a chocolate shake? Pure. Undiluted. Magnificence. 🤤❤

I wish I had the movie which Mr Edison created

I read the ebook, it's beautiful

carefully lift left hand underside screw tab of tail over the cooling fins of the reg/rec while keeping right hand side down in place until left frees the reg/rec, then right side up, rearward, and over past the rear brake reserve, then diagonally up and out. Phillips size 2 to prevent stripping

Truly is a torque monster

Very nice bikes... I just purchased a 2001 vtr1000 or the 996 however you want to put it at first I purchased the bike because I got a really good deal on it but now it would take a lot to get it from me loving that V-Twin

I’m finding keeping my Sp 1 is more drama then it’s worth finding parts for this bike is horrendous...considering selling Honda have not a thing anymore!

Nice bike

I loved the VF1000F interceptor

Just installed mine today on my 2018 Sp1 😁

That's the kind of bad luck I have too! I guess I'm not the only one. sorry for our luck.

I purchased new rode across country, throughout many mountain ranges and loved the bike for its time 1984. Heavy yes! Fast for 1984 yes! Would i buy again in 1984 yes! It out ran all "super" bikes at that time! Was a looker but not made for the twisties! I replaced with a FZR 1000!

This will be fun when we move there from NM 🤣
