    Greetings from Beautiful Indiana!

    Hey guys, I was invited to the forum by Dave (cbrvfr). I have several early Honda VF's (Interceptors) that I like to fix up and modify but also enjoy riding newer sportbikes as well. I used to race WEAR but lately I've resorted to helping out the California Superbike School to get my track fix. I hope to make it to Grattan this year!

    Welcome, Jamie-

    For the rest of you, Mr Daugherty has somewhat legendary status as a suspension tuner on the VFR websites. He converted a 929rr Showa shock for use on my '92 last weekend, with high flow Gold valves, a new shim stack, and a custom machined clevis.

    He also installed gold valves in my forks, along with the proper shims, bushings, seals, and oil ---and did all this while I sat there and asked him about nine thousand questions. I'm very much looking forward to riding it.

    Hope you can make Grattan!

    It would be great to have a good suspension guy around. I'll be looking forward to bugging you in the future. Welcome to the site.

    Hi! Very cool to see another one of D's converts! Like all the others, I too am looking forward to hearing about your experience with all things suspension.

    Welcome! Hmmm, I have a VFR. And a 929 shock sitting in my garage collecting dust....

    Yes, I'm a regular poster on that forum as well as about a dozen others! Unfortunately time is in short supply these days so I don't post as much as I used to.
