- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit no prob, I will resist tinkerin'
- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit Quick Question... can you take the reflector off of the HID bulbs? I did not but it 'looks' like it would increase the light output in the VFR's light assembly. It's probably there for a reason...
- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit I installed my kit last night. It was absolutely perfect!! The fit and finish where as expected. Thanks again. I have a friend with a Blackbird, it should be a single light set up. I'll take a look and let you know,…
- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit I'm in too, I need another quick project! I wouldn't mind the mirrors and Darth's adapter too. So much for sleeping on them over the years...
- 6th Gen & soft saddlebags whiteboyslo has anyone successfully mounted soft saddlebags on a 6th gen? any suggestions on brands or mounting methods? Mike Cortech tri-bags and the smaller set work. You just have to fiddle with em'. Sorry I don't…
- VFR sighting on East River Rd. Just wondering who was heading southbound on East river road around 2:45ish today. It was a late year candy red 6th gen. I was headed north on the Asphalt 04' with bags.
- Do 2007 VFR800s Need the VFRNess and Blue Connector Mods? Is your bike involved with the recall? if not then it's wiring is up to snuff. Check with Honda to see if you need the recall. I had it done along with keeping my VFRness. I'd still recommend the VFRNess though, I've…
- VFR1200F test ride [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] [/quote] I REALLY like the white on black 6th gen!! I wonder if there are any aftermarket plastics that look as good? I still have 3 years or so with my 6th gen but I do…
- Need to find Comfort on my VFR800-Help being 6'3" and 270...ish, I've had to adjust things on my '04. number one was the changing of my seating posture, I was use to a '99 GSXR750 and it took me a while. The peg lowerers, the Sargeant, and the Genmars are…

- ABS : worth it ? I'd do it, I like having the peace of mind in this time of massive deer migrations :biggrin: It's not necessarily the live one's either. There's usually one extra per week on my daily drive to work. Other than unseen…
- My VFR turns 40! Congrats Tim, odd coincidence that I bought my '04 from a guy in northern Kentucky with 4226 miles. I just turned 22k on mine. Maybe a few more 537 mile days with you and it'll age quicker. (still uncertain about…
- Factory Luggage.. Does anyone know if v35s will fit to the oem brackets?
- Look What I Did To My Frame. I've been thinkin' about something like this with my Asphalt. Is the frame painted in two types of black or is that just a difference in angle to the camera with the same paint? It looks good, if I get brave I'd…
- Getting Stiffed For Insurance Like others have said, I have all of my property and vehicles insured through State Farm and I pay around 274$ a year. I'm 40 with a clean record. My 99' Gixxer 750 was 247$ a year, go figure... 80lbs less with 20 more…

- Picked Up My New Bike! Do the clear lense thingy to it, You'll be happy that you did!! It makes a nice difference, I'll post up pix if you wanna see it. There are pix on here of Asphalts with em'.
- Recommend A Tank Bag Check out an Icon Urban tank bag. It holds 'enuf' stuff and converts to a backpack. It also has very strong magnets. I like the flip around helmet holder thingy too. It's about 100 bucks or so on Epay.
- Charging Laptop With Small Inverter? What's the amp draw on the laptop charger. At 100w you'll get less than an amp at 110volts. Just make sure you have enough and be careful if you get caught in sudden rain.
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? I've got Genmars and the lowering pegs and they work great. I'm 6'3"ish with a herniated disc at c6/7 plus something else going on down in my lower back. When I went to a therapist for the c6 issue she gave me some…
- Aftermarket Exhaust For '03 Honda Vfr 800 I think Tpierce still has a set of Staintunes for around 500$ or so, PM him.
- Should I Get A Power Commander? I'm in the early stages of owning a PCIII. I found it for 130$ on ebay so it was sort of a steal. Fuel mileage dropped to 30mpg at first, this was before I used common sense and checked the map. The seller said that it…

- Dead...battery? If you only found 1 main fuse and you mentioned a spare it's probably the one covered by the rubber cap, you missed the 30amp single fuse that has been the cause for a lot of frustration for folks. Look up 'vfrness' and…
- I Am Tired Of People Riding My A$$ Can't remember too many people ever tailgating me on the bike (besides Baileyrock). Try going faster :wheel: :fing02: When I'm in my truck, they are welcome to run into my draw bar and hitchball sticking out from the…
- Cool Voltmeter Alternative That's one of the things I like about my Escort 8500 radar detector, it has a mode for the display to read voltage except when it detects radar / laser. It's very acurate and I don't have to add a voltage meter. At…

- Obligatory 'why Did I Wait So Long' Post Bls Lowering Blocks I'm working on it.... I was 295. Given my build it's not that easy. I'm still physically fit, just big. Most folks guess my weight at around 235 (which is still heavy:-)) I am losing it more for the kids than the bike…
- Obligatory 'why Did I Wait So Long' Post Bls Lowering Blocks Quick Review... I'm 6' 3", 280lbs. I went out for about 40miles with them and can tell the difference. Definitely more roomy, I don't think that the newness will wear off with this. I use to have a GSXR 750 so a stock…

- Tired Of Having A Hot Vfr? Looks like I've got a new project, Thanks for looking out!
- Tired Of Having A Hot Vfr? I'm suspecting that you'll have to flip the blade and reverse the polarity for a 6th Gen. I don't have time now but maybe I'll try within the next couple of weeks.
- Vfr Sixth Gen Electrical Problem Poll My 30amp fuse started to brown and I found the bike charging at 16 volts at 5k. I bought a VFRness and all is well. Will be doing the blue connector mod very soon. 04' abs with 6800 miles, just bought 2 months ago…
