All 27- Money Shots: Your beautiful picture of your beautiful VFR in action. Somebody spent their lunch money on some sweet wheels! Looking good, gig.
- I know I'll regret it, but always wanted to do white wheels on a 5th gen. That's encouraging, fellas. Thanks for that. My 8 spoke is going to paint shop soon.
- I know I'll regret it, but always wanted to do white wheels on a 5th gen. They'll stay clean if I don't ride it.
- Have you ever seen two uglier VFR's in the same pic? 1 hour ago, MuppetGonzo if you would be kind enough to get the chap to give us update on how you get on. I have to live projects vicariously through others as have a tiny rented house in uk and a mrs who won't allow…
- Have you ever seen two uglier VFR's in the same pic? And can you tell what gens they are? Here is the story...The black one used to be mine. I sold it to a buddy years ago. It was stolen by what must have been some serious meth abusers as it was beaten, broken and painted…
- Exhaust options for 5th gen This looks like fairly solid proof to me. Your buying options are wide open, now.
- Well, this makes number 4, but this one is a keeper! Welcome back. A buddy of mine has found and purchased 3 beauties in the last 1.5 years. All in the NE usa. 3,500, 5,500 and 10,000 miles. I own one of those now and it's my second 5th gen. I've also owned a 4th gen and…
- Money Shots: Your beautiful picture of your beautiful VFR in action. The Holy Grail! Looking good, Michael.
- Money Shots: Your beautiful picture of your beautiful VFR in action. Racetrack? Deals Gap? Just a great shot one of your buddies captured for you that you really like? Let's see your glamour shot of your vfr doing vfr stuff. This has always been one of my favorites. Everybody knows you…
- Big Trouble You Dont have a heck of a lot to add, Timmy. But I did own a 1980 GS850 shafty and really enjoyed that machine. It was long before I stumbled into my true loves, the v4's. But still liked the position, look and feel of the…
- Clutch Mine started acting up at 42k miles. Replaced it. Not expensive. Big difference. The old one was toast.
- it's time to show 1 hour ago, jackleftzuo Rain rider,so cool！ There are more pictures? Somewhere, but I can't seem to find them.
- it's time to show I can't take credit for taking this pic. Was too busy sloshing through the rain! Magoo [image: bestus129.jpg]
- Who is active in the northeast? Near Binghamton, NY here. About an hour south of Syracuse. I tend to head down to PA for the majority of my riding, though. Less LEO and easier to get lost.

- Engine flat past 10,000 rpm? Peak power is at 10,500 rpms, bud. I usually try to time my shifts for around 10-10.5k rpms when in "haul ass mode". You don't do yourself any favors by banging off the rev limiter as you've already gone past peak…
- Do you smile just because you are riding? When everything is going right...YES!
- Goofy question regarding tire wear Ike, Just look at the shallowest depth of the tire. Almost always near the center unless you're doing track days...and I know you're not. When in doubt, throw it out. I can send you a Conti that will fit. Wore down the…
- Group Riding Rules A lot of great points here. But right or wrong, when I lead rides I tell everybody that passing whenever and wherever you'd like is fine, as long as it's safe. This applies for passing each other or cages. The scariest…
- Then and Now Images You kick ass! Well done, sir.

- "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight That makes sense. Thanks.
- "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight As far as HIDs being illegal in the US...I respectfully disagree. I sell autos for a living and many of todays cars come with HIDs directly from factory. Mazdas, Kias, many GMs, Mercury/Fords not to mention most of your…

- "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight Is it possible to put an HID for high beam only? If you're dimming your high beams for oncoming traffic, then who gives a f#*k if it's kicking off "too much" light otherwise? I'm all for having as much light as possible…
