  1. New 1200 6 Apr 2010 13:59 unfortunately my local dealer canceled their order for their VFR1200. They wanted to know if I was going to buy it, said I'd have to see it first, they said that wasn't good enough. Oh well. I don't buy ALL my bike from…
  2. Triumphant (at least for me) Return!!! 6 Apr 2010 13:45 nice looking ride, and welcome back!
  3. Heartland Park Topeka - Track Day Schedule 2010 2 Apr 2010 19:40 Nice! I was communicating with one of the instructors last year, where I got my info from after trying to clearify something on the sign up sheets. Good to hear no need to remove the kick stand. I was contemplating…

  7. Touring windscreens 1 Apr 2010 18:42 I'm only 6', I went with a zero gravity double bubble. It smoothed out the air flow on my helmet better than stock, unless I have a passenger, then its worse than stock, go figure. I put a zero gravity Sport Touring…
  8. Heartland Park Topeka - Track Day Schedule 2010 1 Apr 2010 16:20 Went to the races last year, always wanted to attend a track day. Sold my F4i a couple of weeks ago, figured that would be the bike to take. Not sure which I would favor, the RR or the VFR
  9. My Wife Took My Vfr For A Spin... 24 Aug 2009 20:48 I love my F4i for touring. I use grip puppies and throttle miesters to get the bar buzz out of the bike. It runs down the rode great and doesn't need to be wound tight to move.
  10. Suspension Adjustment - Need Advice 5 Aug 2009 14:29 FYI< the number of turns/clicks is only referring to those that have the ABS model, we non ABS modelers do not have that cool luxury! Wish mine was that easy to adjust.
  11. Best Touring Windscreen 5 Aug 2009 14:26 I'm 5'10" and have the ZG double bubble. For myself, it is great, but when I get a passenger on the back, it changes everything, and not for the better. The stock screen worked better with two up riding. I might be…

  13. Thinking Of Trading The Vfr Dont 4 Aug 2009 14:44 :beer: I'm going to jump in here as a minority in this thread it appears. I've got 3 bikes, an 06 F4i, and 06 1000RR, and an 07 VFR. If I had to get rid of one bike, it would be the VFR. It's just not as confidence…

  15. Interested In Getting 6th Generation W/abs 18 Feb 2009 02:01 LOL, well 'tokin' is part of it, so does this mean he is a pot head? :laugh: I think you would have to do the wheels yourself (not a factory color scheme), and I think it would look pretty sharp!
  16. How To Make A Rwb Anniversary Look Better. 16 Feb 2009 14:25 Quote How To Make A Rwb Anniversary Look Better you can't, unless I'm on it of course.....
  17. Oil Filter Is Stuck! 15 Feb 2009 15:50 Only saw one mention of this so I'll mention it again. Put oil on the filter seal before installing it.

  20. 6th Gen Rear Wheels 5 Feb 2009 22:01 I think those wheels on the CB1000 look great and would love to see a set on a VFR. OK, I'll donate mine to the cause, someone just send me a set of those wheels and we'll see what happens.... If they work out, I'll…
  21. Vfr Side Bag Option V35 5 Feb 2009 21:58 My local dealer sold me the 06 bags with moutning hardware for 760 plus tax (805). The bags with hardware from your source are 719 (would you have to pay shipping?). As mentioned, since you are not shopping color…
  22. Rebates? 3 Feb 2009 15:24 Don't know your location but my local dealer has a Red 07 ABS model still in the crate that'll probably be put on the floor in the 9000-9500 range.
  23. Mounting Side Bags W/ A Fender Eliminator? 1 Feb 2009 23:01 http://images.fotopic.net/ywd1xc.jpg Not a clear picture I know, but you actually remove the metal rear fender brace and it is replaced with a new one that comes with the bags and hardware (it looks real similar to the…
  24. Help With Saddle Bags 1 Feb 2009 16:51 I have the Cortech Sport saddle and tail bag setup as well as the Nelson Rigg CL-950 bags CL-150 tail bag. The Cortech Sports are small and sportier by far and I like their maounting setup better (even though Nelson…
  25. How Do You Make Winter Shorter? 1 Feb 2009 14:58 I helped shorten winter by getting out yesterday on a 71 degree day and riding my dirtbike all day on the trails. Today, only a high of 51 projected, I plan to get a short ride on the VFR in before the Super Bowl.

  31. Kanadianken's Vfr Rack 26 Jan 2009 17:13 Hmmm..... Apparently the obvious wasn't so 'obvious' to me. This is one of the threads I previsouly viewed on the rack and failed to see the black bike with the OEM bags installed. However, it doesn't showup real well…

  33. Kanadianken's Vfr Rack 26 Jan 2009 14:44 Just curious if that rack works with the OEM bags. It appears it installs atop the grab bars which are now extended due to the side bag brackets. Also guessing the design is such that the seat can be removed without…

  44. Zero Gravity Windscreen 13 Jan 2009 03:13 ZG fan here as well. Have the DB on my F4i and the Sport Touring on my 1000RR. Fit and finish are excellent and that ST on the RR is just what I needed! Really smoothed out the air on my helmet.
