Last 50 of 85- Can I powder coat this without damage? Thanks for the information sharing. I am literally just now getting around to powder-coating my stuff now and was wondering how to do this without damaging the parts. Needed to figure out the clear window issue before I…
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Thank you for the reminder, Derek. Knew I was forgetting something lately. Just booked for Erin and I. See you all there!:)
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter Take a bow, Mr Seb. Nicely done. Like other posters have mentioned, the closer shots reveal many subtle touches that impress. I sat here for 10 minutes looking the pictures over in detail. It wouldn't be "your" project…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear superfunkomatic Nice jacket. I missed this thread. I really like the Klim Overland jacket. Tried one on today. Perfect fit. It's heavy but really well made and includes the D3O armor. Have to wait for a few extra bucks…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear UPDATE: Got my shipment of gear in and the quick impression is WOW! I bought the Held Carese II jacket with Torno II pants. I am 5'10" and weigh 210lbs (I am a bit broader in shoulders, have bigger leg muscles, but an…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In I picked up the Alpinestars Gran Torino and very happy with them. First and foremost, they are a riding boot. But they are comfortable all day long, waterproof (Goretex) and easy to walk in. Only gripe is I wish they…
- 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options I figured I would chime in on this, in my experience helmet speakers are horrible by themselves, if you have an amplifier to drive them they can sound ok. I have tried many different types and have come to the…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In Well I ordered up the Mono Fuse from Alpinestars, and they arrived a couple days ago. Tried on and they initially seemed like a good fit (but a bit more snug width wise compared to my Sidis), but I kept them on for a…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear Well I pulled the trigger on the Held Carese II jacket and Torno II pant. Had everything I needed at a price that was high, yes, but not insane. One of the things I liked about it in the end was that you can (according…
- New Oil Thread For Winter! How about cold weather performance? I want to know what oil to run when it is so cold your snot freezes in your nose......
- Sumsum <3 Official Registration Page Q-Dawg and Dragonfly are booked and registered! Looking forward to seeing y'all there!
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In i think it will be between the Alpinestars Gran Torino GTX, Alpinestars Mono Fuse GTX or Dainese Long Range D-WP for me. Hard to choose between GoreTex outer on the Alpinestars vs better sole for walking around in the…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In dawson I've had Alpinestars Web boots for several years now. Dry, warm and very comfortable for riding and walking. Not sure about traction for serious hiking though. They've held up well, think I got them in 07. decent…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In stan921 It's not on your list, but I'm really happy with my Dianese Long Range D-WP. i crossed a couple things off the list, those are now in consideration. I think after some chatting with folks who ride and sell the…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear MadScientist Some anectodal thoughts on Gore-Tex outer layers - When I was in the service, stationed in Washington State, we were issued the ECWCS which has Gore-Tex outer layers. The parkas and pants were re-issued…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In Well, I am also looking for new boots. Waterproof sport touring boots that breathe and can comfortably be walked in for a mile or two. I refuse to pack shoes on the VFR, and I have suffered on some short hikes for too…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear wow. you guys jumped all over this one. :goofy: Well just to give an update, I have been looking at motorcycle clothing now until my eyes hurt. Down to a short list of jackets: - Held Carese II - GoreTex (destination)…
- 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options Well the Upcoming Sena 10C looks promising with the built in camera integration, but I think I will go for the 20S for a couple reasons: - talked to some dealers selling the Sena and there have been some recent updates…
- 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options Well, I am looking to embrace intercom technology again and get rid of my old wired Starcom1 for something modern. Right now I am not happy with the choices available. A few look decent on paper, but here's where I am…
- Opinions On Held, Klim, Olympia, Rukka Riding Gear I am fed up with my past sets of riding gear not holding up too well and looking for something better. I have had a couple sets of JR gear that had mixed results, and my Alter Ego stuff is faded, has lost some parts (my…
- Led Running Lights? I found some 1.5" LED driving lights on ebay and have a bunch of other stuff to play around with (yes I am a light nerd) but havent decided quite what I am going to do with my 6th gen yet. But it will probably consist…
- This Might Be A Little Over The Top...... https://www.youtube....h?v=vznGIS45Ch8 Where can I get one for my 6th gen? The Lasers no longer seem manly enough......
- Tmac- A Refresher Of "the Pace" For Everyone Wish I could make it this year, but I can only do one or two bigger trips in one year until my kids get a little older. It's on the bucket list of future trips to do at least one T-mac event and it will happen…
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist Rice emoyer Rice Put on center stand and stuff a paint can under the header. Floor jack works too, BTW So this gives enough clearance to get tire out from under fender? Just enough. Been doing it like this for years w/o…
- 2014 Vfr Poll Even though it is not exactly what I would want, this bike is closer to what I like compared to the VFR1200F, and I would probably choose to buy this bike. I was considering an upgrade (in a couple years) to a newer…
- Anyone Played With 3D Printer? Make Custom Bike Parts? Thanks for the ABS info, Jamie. It confirms my guesses on the strength of an ABS printed part. I think that would work adequately for my needs, should I decide to pursue my projects further. Well for my immediate…
- Riding Again After An Accident superfunkomatic Took me several years before I felt comfortable on a bike again after a nasty spill. You'll gradually get more and more confident over time. I take it much, much easier now that I've had a get-off -…
- Anyone Played With 3D Printer? Make Custom Bike Parts? I know they aren't as strong as a solid part, and can suffer from poor fusing of layers adding to weakness of part. Some people are reporting that dipping their ABS parts in acetone helps "glue" any poor bonds and…
- Anyone Played With 3D Printer? Make Custom Bike Parts? Thinking about trying my hand at 3D printing, for a variety of reasons. I think it is a wave of the future, and more importantly, suitable for making small run plastic parts. Some of these parts I had planned in my head…
- Are Vfr's Chick Magnets? I'm surprised Baileyrock hasn't replied to this yet! I thought he woulda been all over this..... :tongue2:
- Consensus On Replacement Front Brake Rotor? I have a set of the chinese ebay "wave" rotors. Not many miles on them yet, but so far so good. I am not a really hard rider. I just needed another set of rotors for a second hand extra set of wheels I bought, so I…
- Givi B33 Led Kit ? thanks for the how to. just shopping for top case options and want to do the lighting mods too. was wondering what sort of connectors folks use. I really like the clean install of the plug you chose. Can you just drop…
- Member down - roadpilot What a courageous and positive attitude, Bob! All the best to you, your recovery, and future... Q-Dawg and the Mrs.
- 2012 Sum Sum x 2 Registration Link & List Man, really sorry this had to happen to you Gerry. Was really looking forward to hanging out with you down there and riding more together. I guess there's always trips / riding / wrench session closer to home; hope the…
- Best Choice for Breathable and Comfortable Gear? I do mostly long distance trips with the bike and am a more conservative rider who doesn't race. Would like to get something new before trip down to Sum Sum 2, but time is starting to run out and I need to get my act…
- Best Choice for Breathable and Comfortable Gear? OK, so I am finally looking to replace my JR jacket (leather reinforced textile) and my Spyke riding pants as they are several years old and do not feel very comfortable in hotter weather riding. I still have no…
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) Did you jack the swing-arm up, it makes it easy to remove/install the stock shock. Do you have a 929 already installed on the bike, or are you trying to replace the stock shock with a 929? I walked back out there and…
- gsxr mirrors I was lloking to do this very modification, once upon a time, and was gathering parts and the motivation to fart around with it. Then a fellow forum member who doesn't procrastinate like I do, took the initiative and…
- How does your workshop look like? Here's mine before it was finished and full of 3 vehicles, 2 bikes and lots 'o junk. Axel 7 (derek) nice garage BTW..... How well do the floor tiles hold up? Do they shift around much? Been comtemplating floor finish…

- Factory Pro EVO Shift Star kit kaldek OK I have a ride report for y'all. It's definitely better. Each rider will probably find something different in their mind which makes it better, but for me it's the ability to short-shift easily. I do a lot of…
- Factory Pro EVO Shift Star kit Trace kaldek Yeah, total nonsense. They were trying to say "spin the rear wheel a little bit so you can change gears, because you can't normally change gear when the engine isn't turning the gearbox." Yep, as I figured.…
- Local Hillbilly Ran Me OFF THE ROAD! Glad you're OK, HS. Coulda been a lot worse, but it still sucks. Well, glad you are getting to go to the meet and doing some riding anyway. Hopefully that black cloud above you is done raining on you and it is smooth…
- VTEC-SC... Way cool, Dan. Good things are worth waiting for, and I hope to get my hands on the 6th gen S/C kit (not that I really need the extra power for the way I ride most of the time.) Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And…
- Install bar end weights Often there is no really easy way to work on these without a fight. I changed out the bar ends last year and it was the biggest PITA. Brute force, lube, pushing it out with compressed air are some of the suggestions…
- GET BENT!!! Good to hear you are getting around better, man. Been off the forum for a while (new job is busy), but the bike looks cool with the 6th gen tank. Bummer about the frame being bent. I guess you are in it for the long…
