Who wants CCT's
You should consider fabricating some CCT's for the VFR800 and sell the on their forum. For the most-part they are a bunch of "farklers" and would enjoy such an item. APE doesn't make a CCT for the VFR800 so it's an open market for you!
Otherwise it's a no-brainer....
UK VFR800 vtec owner
"“At about 10,000 miles, I heard the camchain rattling in the rear cylinders. Honda are replacing one camchain tensioner under warranty, but I’m not happy. How long before the other tensioner fails, and will it be fixed under warranty?“I just can’t understand why Honda haven’t solved this problem after all these years. One of the reasons people bought the old VFR800 was reliability.“I love riding the V-TEC bike, but the camchain problem makes me wonder if I should keep it long term.”
Join the club! and the VFR's doesn't look to dissimilar to a VTR's in principle, though with 4 mounting holes instead of 2

my friend just picked up a vfr800 and has been in the market for cct's. He was not happy that ape did not make any, according to him the others on the vfr forum weren't happy either, I see a market for you. You may not need a job at this rate. I was gonna start another thread to see if you could make a simple offset bracket so any sliders would work plus put them in a different location. Great work on these I'd pick up a set if I didn't already do my mine. Lazn and I did another walk throught with tons of detailed picks for installing these. We've been a little lazy at completing it and posting it however it only requires removing the rear valve cover like someone else had mentioned before, 3000 miles since and running strong. The difference in top end noise on lazn bike was amazing . You've got talent that's for sure.
I bought my APEs a while ago, or I would jump on this deal.
I just installed them. Not hard. When I talked to my dad, he just laughed. He rides a 94 VFR750, GEAR DRIVEN, that's why he laughed.
Trucinduc, nice product and price.

if you are going to put in an o-ring, make sure that you either couter-bore a spot or at least bevel it a little so that the o-ring has a place to go. Otherwise the nut will not fully tighten until the oring squishes out. Just an idea...
I have not finished the upgraded one yet. But as soon as I do ill be sure to post up pics.
The mounting bolts will be countersunk.
there will be some sort of thread seal, still to be decided.

OK. Good price, just be sure to list complete list of contents and particulars on the order page. I'll want to know the thread seal solution before ordering.

1) walk around bike observing all/any decals
2) use pad and writing utensil to copy said decals
3) you need these adjusters if any of the following decals appear ..... VTR1000F, Superhawk 996, Firestorm, CBR600
Yo Truck, do yourself another favour, just make a batch of 20 now.
Just a thought.
The easiest way to tell if you need a set of manually adjusted CCTs is to follow this procedure;
1) walk around bike observing all/any decals
2) use pad and writing utensil to copy said decals
3) you need these adjusters if any of the following decals appear ..... VTR1000F, Superhawk 996, Firestorm, CBR600

It won't take long to sell them off, especially with Spring around the corner.

Agreed. Makes me look forward to seeing the end product.
