  2. Seat modification questions 28 Mar 2011 16:41 [image: View Post]scottdash, on 26 March 2011 - 07:59 PM, said: On my 6th gen I took my seat to an Upholstery shop and had them put in a gel pack it cost under 200 looks stock and makes the long rides more enjoyable. I…
  3. Seat modification questions 26 Mar 2011 21:50 The recovering cost me $139. The dish is deep enough and the seat is now wide enough that sliding your crack to the edge will be weird, and take more effort than the stocker or a sargent. For me the dishing and width…
  4. Seat modification questions 26 Mar 2011 14:06 Got my seat back from the Upholstery shop, I wasn't expecting pleating, but the general softness of the top of the seat is good. The forward slope is gone, the rear is plenty wide to move around on, and somehow the seat…
  5. Saddlesore 1000 on VFR 25 Mar 2011 19:55 Have a safe ride, and good on you for helping your son get acquainted with LD riding. I would have loved to do my first cert. ride with my dad.

  7. Seat modification questions 22 Mar 2011 20:01 I was in need of a reshaped seat as well after I cut the rear section off the seat so I used the diy pointers. 1st glued down stock foam, then cut away most of it. 2nd glued on layers of 1/2" carpet padding as I…
  8. What type of connection for heated gear? 8 Mar 2011 22:49 The picture above is male coax by sae, if you want to plug in the synergy stuff you will want female coax. Yes powerlet coax is the same coax. All of the power connectors in this realm that are coax should be…
  9. What type of connection for heated gear? 8 Mar 2011 21:45 Coax, same as Gerbings and some aerostich heated clothing. Now if only the controller wasn't a weird connector at the clothing we could buy the great cheap synergy liners and use gerbings controllers.
  10. Electronic Cruise control 18 Feb 2011 20:20 [image: View Post]jrc1980, on 18 February 2011 - 12:19 PM, said: Anyone used or looked into fitting something similar to this: http://www.motorcycl...asy_to_use.html ? From the brochure it looks like it could make long…
  11. Fuel pump removal 13 Feb 2011 20:10 I used some popcycle sticks to help help the steel wool stuff and the rubber not catch on the sharp lip of the cutout in the tank, as said above, it feels like you are hurting something, just make sure to check the tank…
  12. Gsxr Forks On Vtec? 8 Oct 2010 20:25 Bailey Rock, any update to this, I have purchased a complete 07 gsxr 750 front end for an rd350 project but may not go that route with it so thinking they could go on the 03 vfr. I have a machinist that could make me…

  14. How far can I ride in 7-8 days? 23 Aug 2010 16:18 What is your goal for this ride, if you are trying to just enjoy the time on the bike 500 mile days should be no problem and give you plenty of excess time to stop and smell the roses, if you are visiting places and…
  15. Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit 2 Aug 2010 01:22 Installed my kit today. Took about 2 hours start to finish. Only problem is where I mounted the throttle side ballast. It was hitting the fuse block when I tried to mount the front fairing again. I remembered this…
  16. Beefier Alternator? 27 Jul 2010 21:18 How about one of those fancy Gold Wing trailers loaded with a bank of batteries? Just Kidding!!! :blush: Seriously, with all the electrical gremlins these bikes have, be glad you're not dealing with molten plastic…
  17. Beefier Alternator? 27 Jul 2010 19:07 I want to bring this up again. Anyone ever figure out how much excess we have. I want to know because I need to add some big auxillary HIDs, but right now with some led aux lights and the high beam on at idle the…
  18. Dunlop Roadsmart? 26 Jul 2010 19:25 After 3 sets of PR2s I went with the Road smarts in June. After 2 rallys they now have ~5800 miles on them and are very flat in the middle. What few corners I have ridden with them I have thought they stuck very similar…
  19. Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit 5 Jul 2010 02:59 Just ordered a 4500k set. Got on tonight searching for replacement HID info. Glad I found this thread. Can't wait to try these out, hope to have them by my next rally July 24th. Thanks, Josh
  20. Heating / Cooling 25 May 2010 16:54 Around 250 it will ping on acceleration and have noticeable power loss, should probably stop and let it cool before that. If you are using a power commander and a generic map, you might try unplugging it and see what…
  21. Touring windscreens 5 Apr 2010 22:24 While I am alot shorter than you at 5'7", on my 03 with genmar risers the Zero Gravity DB was worse than stock, I have since added a laminar lip to the stock screen and am happy with it. I wish we could get the large…
  22. Will You Buy Without A Test Ride? 17 Oct 2009 01:27 No, I wouldn't buy without a test ride. I am sure Honda will have these available for demo rides at Daytona Bike Week. They will fill all of the spots early in the week, but if you want to ride one it is an excuse to go…
  23. Tire Choice 24 Sep 2008 00:11 If you aren't going to ride in the rain, and don't care about mileage try the Pilot Power 2ct, Not to be confused with the Pilot Road 2ct.(which is my perfect tire for the VFR, as a sport touring bike) Very sticky, I…
  24. Holy Cow It's True, Maybe 7 Sep 2008 21:48 Wouldn't it be neat if Honda unveiled this new Moto GP inspired bike at the Indy Moto GP races this weekend. I will be there with crossed fingers hoping for a test ride.
