- This May Be Stupid But... If you are only going to use the bags on rare occasions, then why not just hang onto your stock muffler and swap them on the rare occation that you use the side bags. That way you have the nice look of the high mount in…
- Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud I've been using that exact same app in my vehicles for the last 3 years or so. I really like it a lot. It was almost necessary on my toyota landcruiser since it was lifted and had 35 inch tires, the speedo was off by a…
- Yet Another Brake Pedal Issue After Bls Block Install. Beer in hand and watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Eh, the kids are still awake after the fireworks. Kind of hard to be mad while watching Chitty. I went online to buy the bolts that got stripped. Ron Ayers shipping…
- Motorcycle Vs Car Drift Battle 3 Haha! I want the dune buggy!
- Reserve A 5Th Gen Solo Rack From Kanadianken Add me to the list, im in. Please pm me if/when this gets going in case I lose the thread. would be nice to be able to use a topcase!
- Clutch Lever Suddenly Weak, After 5Mph Grass Laydown (5Th Gen) Just adding new bleeder screws will possibly allow a tiny amount into the caliper. That small amount can be expelled with just a half pull of the lever, and no removal of the reservoir cap is even required. (But why add…
- Clutch Slave Leak I am going to be rebuilding both of mine here i nthe next few weeks.....where do you get the rebuild kits? From honda or is there a good aftermarket brand? Thanks If its leaking fluid I'd say it needs a rebuild, there…
- Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics If you don't have a friend out of state, I'm sure one of our faithful friends here will help you out. I also know that different counties can sell different paint. One of my friends gets automotive paint in Kern County…
- Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics There have been quite a few people here on VFRD asking about this stuff, so I thought I would do a little write up so everyone could get an idea of what exactly it is. Basically Plasti-dip started out as a dip you use…
- Anyone Want To Donate Their Leo Vince Baffles Are your LV pipes the newer version or the older version? The newer version have the tapered endcaps. I had a set (titanium) of the older version of LV's on my old 6th gen that I sold 3 years ago. Sold the pipes…
- 2000 Honda VFR Repsol Build Yes, I am interested in how the plastics turned out. Decent quality? How bad was it to install everything? Might be something I'll look into in the future as I am personally not a fan of red, yet ride a red VFR :huh:…
- New Continental Contimotions review Just got through my first set of Contimotions. I have to admit...at first I wasn't too happy with them....but it turns out my tire gauge was faulty (it was reading 10psi higher than actual pressure!) and tire pressures…
- Indy Epic Adventure Awesome trip! I'm very jealous. Hope you enjoyed Indianapolis and the sourrounding areas. Not too bad of a place to live, if I do say so myself :)
- $99.95 Scorpion EXO-1000 Helmets from SportbikeTrackGear.com I might jump on this.....might as well try it for the price. Been wanting a helmet with an inside visor for a while anyway. How do sizes run compared to other helmets? Like does an xl fit like most other xl helmets or…
- The Mother of All Squids - LOL LOL......Precious Treasure for sure!
- Diagnosing Handling Problem So what exactly is the recommended SAG for a 5th gen? Having this same issue myself with my 98, and just trying to get by till i can gather funds to send off to Jamie for a 929 shock and front rebuild/respring.
- Help me decide on a new custom plate! Thanks for all the ideas guys! Quite a few good ones so far. I'll probably make my choice later this week, so if anyone has some more ideas, lets hear em!
- Help me decide on a new custom plate! So I guess this is a modification question, lol :rolleyes: It may be a little lamesauce to some, but I've always paid the little bit extra when getting license plates for my VFR and gotten a custom one saying what I…
- Calling on glove experts.... Thanks for the responses guys! Even though my current Icon gloves were pretty awesome and held up well over time, I think i'm going to try something new. Just time to change it up a bit. Right now I'm really leaning…

- Calling on glove experts.... So I have pretty much worn out my awesome Icon TiMax TRX gloves after 35k miles or so. I bought them a few years ago when I had my first VFR, and have been weraring them ever since and loved them. But they are nearing…
- Good affordable tools??? Good question here. Personally, I used to buy almost excusivly craftsman tools, but within the last 2-3 years, it seemed as the quality is not what it used to be. I like to have good quality tools for things such as…
- Cortech Gx Air 2 Jacket Vs Cortech Gx Sport 2 Jacket I have been looking at this jacket for awhile now for hot summer riding. I like that it has leather in the "fall zones", but is also mesh and should flow a lot of air. I found it on motorcyclegear dot com on clearence…
- Need Recommendation for Nice But Cheap Pazzo-style Levers I have the pazzo knockoffs on mine.....previous owner added them. I like them aside from two things. First, the adjuster nees to be lubed occasionally or it is very hard to use. Not really a big deal as i pretty much…
- First GoPro Ride! Nice video! I'm jealous, I soooo want one of those cameras! I like the perspective from the right side....looks awesome! Sounds good too!
- Suspension set up question So I've put about 5k miles on my 98 now, and I'm having a hard time dialing in the suspension to my liking. Did a near 500 mile ride friday to southern Indiana where there are at least a few twisties, and I just wasn't…
- Expert VFR Mechanics in Indianapolis? Bike is running strange. When i had my previous 6th gen, I checked both dealers out to get service done......I used to live maybe 3 miles from 96th st HD/Honda, but just go in and you can tell where 95% of their buisiness is aimed (HD's). I was…
- First Honda and First VFR Welcome to VFRD Deltaboxii!! And I must say, great find on your bike!!! I live up in Lafayette, but I'm in the Indy area on my '98 constantly (just last night in fact). What side of Indy are you on? We need to get some…
- VFR Corbin Smuggler JZH......I was thinking the same thing. Personally, I would love to have one, as I ride by myself 98% of the time and having a small trunk would be very, very nice! But every picture I've seen of them, they seem to have…
- Pretty Cool Hahaha....that little popup looks awesome behind the mini! Such fun cars to drive! If you dont mind me asking, how much was that little trailer for the bike? That would be nice to have for taking the bike along on long…
- Added 'safety' strobes to my 5th Gen I really like that switch also! I've been looking for one to use with my voltmeter that is weather resistant. I found the website for the switch but I dont see anything about the size.....COuld you tell me how big…
- Mag-knight tank bras I bought a Mag-knight Bra when my 06 6th gen had about 1k miles on it as something to help avoid scratching the black paint on the tank my jacket, etc. It did a very good job of protecting the tank from scratches and…
- Suspension pin spanner/wrench. What the! Just an FYI, the 06 and on vfrs did not come with the full OEM tool kit that the VFRs all had previously (at least here in the US). They only came with the spanner wrench for adjusting the chain and that was it. So if…
- Cool idea, or just silly? Great Idea! Sounds like a good way to have a little fun, see some different parts of the US via photos, and meet some fellow vfrd members. It may take a while to make its way here, but I can take it through Indiana!
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR The toolkit on my 98 is right under the seat, pretty much right in the middle, in a little pouch. If you didn't see it when you took the seat off, you are either blind or its missing :happy: :happy: And $3400 for that…
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Hey there, Indyfour.....Nice looking bike (and nice low miles too)! I was originally looking for a yellow 2000, but ended up going with a red 98 instead in october. I had an 06 previously and love the 98 just as much,…
- Clear Clutch Window Hey seb.....I might be interested. Could you please pm me the details? Thanks! -higgin
- It's Another One Of Those Bloody Vtec Threads Mine can definatly be harsh at times (maybe 1 out of every 15-20 times), and mine is an 06 which they supposedly upgraded so its not supposed to be so harsh in the vtec transition. Usually when it is harsh though, it is…
- Pro Oiler Delete I'm interested..... PM sent
- Anytime, Baby! Oh man!!! That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for bumping the post. Missed it the first time around somehow. I agree, phatpat33, I thought it sounded exactly like a stock car race. That was my first thought......
- Vtec In The Cold Weather? LOL - Mine seems to do the opposite. When its warm out, I can definatly feel it when it kicks in, but when its cold out (less that say 55 or 60) it seems to be a softer hit. Still noticeable at any time though,…
- Fender Eliminator Kit PM KanadianKen . He makes the best ones around. A+++ Sorry, don't have any pics though...... Do a search, I know there are som pics of his elims around somewhere

- Photoshop Help - Wheel Color Awesome! Thanks guys! I like the new "10-spoker" idea. lol I actually do like that black with polished lip look, it goes a little better with all the aluminum. But the gold really just came out exactly how I hoping it…
- Photoshop Help - Wheel Color So I'm not much of a photo-chopper, but Ive been thinking of possibly getting my VFR's wheels powder coated for a while now for a little more unique look. Finally found a place in town to do it that comes highly…
- New Rwb On The Way! You can only have 5 letters? Thats sucks. We can have 6 here in Indy.....I have VTECV4. Too bad its not 6, BLUBYU would be good one to tie into the RWB theme. You could just go with the obligatory HONDA. If I remember…

- Power Commander Maps OFFICIAL COZY MAP - (cozye_ver5.djm) - Famous vtec pc3 USB map. SO has anyone had luck modding this for an 06 yet??
