  2. Trying something different 12 Apr 2010 13:31 As of Saturday evening, I have a new bike in my garage. I had a 300 mile ride home on it, and with the weather being perfect, it was a nice way to get to know a little about my new bike. I do have to say that the…

  4. Trying something different 6 Apr 2010 14:25 Well the VFR is gone. :( I sure hope I enjoy the XX they way I hope I will... http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/britt_vfr/VFR4Sale/IMG_4261.jpg

  6. Trying something different 3 Apr 2010 13:02 After a little over two years on my 2001 VFR, I have decided the time is right to try something a little different. In exactly one week, I take a train from Chicago to St. Louis to pick up my next bike. A 2001…
  7. Custom Datel Voltmeter 24 Mar 2010 19:04 Scratch this idea! I washed the bike the other day and barely got the LCD screen wet... and suddenly it's showing that my bike is only putting out 9 volts. Once it completely dried out, it consistently shows that it's…
  8. Electrical Issue (suprise huh) 4 Mar 2010 20:41 [/quote] Wierd thing about the head lights being on then turning off all of a sudden. I have an 06' with 18500 miles and no issues until today. The darn headlights went out and wouldn't come back on. I guess I will have…
  9. Custom Datel Voltmeter 21 Feb 2010 18:02 I've been looking for a voltmeter, and ran across a BMW owner who built his own that I liked a lot..... so I figured I would replicate his work. I rarely ride in the dark so I don't need an LED unit. I was interested in…
  10. Honda's 2010 VFR1200F vs. The Pump 5 Feb 2010 15:22 From what I've gathered, a stock 2008 Concours 1400 puts down 142.7 HP and 95.5 lb.-ft. per Two Bros Racing (not sure what dyno they used). The stock VFR1200F puts down 142.1 HP and 81.4 lb.-ft Considering the…
  11. Honda's 2010 VFR1200F vs. The Pump 5 Feb 2010 13:42 http://blogs.motorcy...pump/index.html Posted Yesterday 11:06 AM by Tim.Carrithers Few people have had a look around inside the Palatial Motorcyclist Dyno Room, mostly because it's not much to look at. The guys in the…
  12. Driving Lights 18 Nov 2009 17:31 [image: View Post]YoshiHNS, on 17 November 2009 - 09:47 PM, said: I question how useful lights at tire level are. Where exactly do you need more light? If it's straight ahead, HIDs and high beams work great. If it's…
  13. Driving Lights 18 Nov 2009 01:51 Motolight My dad used a set of Motolights on his Nighthawk for many years. They clamp to the forks with hose clamps. REALLY well made, REALLY bright, and very effective. I also personally really like how they look. They…
  14. Gauging Interest in Delkevic High Mount for 5th Gen 12 Nov 2009 13:39 Is there really so little interest in a high mount Delkevic for the 5th gen? Or has this topic just gone unnoticed?
  15. Have Micron Cf High Mount Can, Want Different Can, Options? 7 Nov 2009 23:23 Could your can need repacking with fiberglass? I don't have an aftermarket can but I've always heard that the packing breaks down and/or becomes saturated with exhaust over time and should be replaced. Perhaps that…
  16. Gauging Interest in Delkevic High Mount for 5th Gen 7 Nov 2009 11:08 After reading VFRBenny - Delkevic Muffler Installed! I emailed Delkevic with the comment that if they made a high mount muffler for the 5th gen at a great price, people would buy it. Below is their response.... Dear…
  17. Delkevic Muffler installed! 5 Nov 2009 18:42 If they made a high mount, I'd order it TODAY! I don't use saddlebags or carry a passenger. In addition to losing weight and improving the sound, I want to see more of my rear wheel....
  18. Delkevic Muffler installed! 5 Nov 2009 13:28 I've wondered about those for a while now, and figured that at that price, it must be very cheaply manufactured. Maybe the other manufacturers are just way overcharging for their exhausts? :wheel: Do they make a high…
  19. Time For A New Battery 15 Oct 2009 15:31 I am 99% sure that the shorter battery has been used successfully with nothing more than a spacer underneath it to keep the terminals up at the correct height.
  20. Symtec Grip Heaters 12 Oct 2009 15:07 I love my Symtec's. Installed over Pro Grip gel grips, and no problems so far.
  21. So We Don't All Like The Muffler... 10 Oct 2009 12:47 I'm heading out of town for a long weekend, but if anyone has anything else they'd like me to chop for them, I'll check in next week.....

  24. So We Don't All Like The Muffler... 10 Oct 2009 02:53 I enjoy dabbling with Photoshop (and am far from an expert!) but I was thinking today about how an aftermarket exhaust might look on the new VFR1200F. Stock: [image: Posted Image] Staintune: [image: Posted Image]…

  26. The First Offical Pic 9 Oct 2009 13:49 My take on all of this is: VFR1200F = K1300S VFR1200ST = K1300GT I personally like the VFR1200F a lot, but wished for more fuel capacity. I bet the ST model will carry a lot of fuel.....
  27. Dunlop Roadsmarts:5000 Mile Wear Report 16 Jul 2009 23:11 I put Roadsmards on my bike this spring, and now that I have 4000 miles on them, I thought I'd share my impressions with the group. So far, I am very happy with the grip and handling of these tires. I commute to work…

  29. Got My 07 Vfr Painted What You Think? 13 May 2009 18:48 Nicely done!
  30. Hey Guys, Look What I Did To Today! 1 May 2009 13:15 Glad you were wearing a helmet! You might not be telling us your story if you hadn't been. I cringe at every helmetless rider I see around my area. Sorry about the bike....
  31. Hard On Headligts - Is This Common? 5 Sep 2008 13:14 I read once that the the nature of the Silverstars are that they all have a fairly short life. However on my last bike I had one and used it for probably 5 years and it still worked when I sold it. Installing them with…
  32. The Best Cruise Control? 21 Aug 2008 17:02 Do either the Vista Cruise or NEP work if you have grip heaters? Seems that the wire coming out from under the grip would prevent it...
  33. Cortech Gx Air 2 Jacket Vs Cortech Gx Sport 2 Jacket 19 Jun 2008 22:43 I hope I can get some opinions on a jacket/pants purchase I just made. I recently purchased some Tourmaster/Cortech gear, and when it showed up I discovered that I made a mistake when ordering. When I was shopping, I…
  34. Got My Wheels And Seat Done...pics 21 May 2008 18:47 That black 8 spoker would look GREAT on my bike..... :biggrin: Nice job!
  35. Stebel Horn Installation 7 May 2008 14:32 Nice job on the install! When I put a Stebel on my old bike I thought about separating the compressor from the horn, but was afraid I would ruin it. When I get one for the VFR, I may very well copy your installation…
