  3. Single front brakes conversion on 4th gen 1 Jun 2010 13:40 Whenever I see someone convert to a single disc, it just makes me want to do this [image: Posted Image] I have no idea why someone would want less braking power.

  6. Official 2010 TexasMac Picture Thread 24 May 2010 20:18 Most of my pics look like everyone else's. But I did capture this rare occurrence. I'm pretty sure this was after the 2-stroke blender had been run a few times. [image: Posted Image]

  8. Who crashed on NC28, Red 5th gen 10 Apr 2010 12:40 It seems a 6th gen went down as well. Anyone? http://us129photos.com/images/stories/PhotosOfTheWeek/20100408/1.jpg
  9. Big F Project 31 Aug 2009 00:50 That bike looks outstanding! But for some reason, I just keep thinking it would look great without the front fairing.
  10. Vtec 6 Jul 2009 16:20 Are you sure it didn't say Vortec?
  11. She Would Not Start 29 Jun 2009 23:33 Sounds like a battery.
  12. Pothole Shut Off My Lowbeams 29 Jun 2009 21:44 I've hit a good size bump and blew out a bulb. I would check the bulbs first.
  13. Is This A Good Deal For A Paint Job? 11 Jun 2009 23:38 [image: View Post]Knife, on Jun 11 2009, 04:24 PM, said: I'll repost when I get the cases back, hopefully with a picture. If the work is good, I'll post his name and number. He gets parts shipped to him often, paints…
  14. Riding Again After An Accident 11 Jun 2009 23:35 Baileyrock I think one of the biggest problems many riders encounter returning after a crash and especially if you happen to hit something or slide on that unseen dirt/gravel/oil is a habit of looking right in front of…
  15. Can You Cut Cans ? 5 Jun 2009 10:00 Yes you can cut them. You need to drill the rivets out of the end, pull the can off, mark it with tape around the circumference and cut with a grinding wheel or similar. The you'll need to cut the baffle shorter, drill…
  16. Pics Of Your Gps Setup 19 Apr 2009 16:16 Here's my GPS setup. I used an HPRC box (similar to Pelican), an Aqua box to house the Nuvi 5000, a scrap piece of aluminum bent to mount the aqua box to the HPRC box, A waterproof SAE plug mounted in the back for power…

  19. Is The Vfr800 The Ultimate All-rounder? 30 Mar 2009 23:46 [image: View Post]TimC, on Mar 30 2009, 07:23 PM, said: Also, GS's are pricey and very tall compared to the VFR. Plus, throw in final drive failure stories and the GS probably doesn't inspire as much confidence from…
  20. Pelican Case As Side Bags? 27 Mar 2009 09:29 Stumbled on to this R1 on advrider with pelican top loading side cases. I think they would look better on a VFR. But don't look to bad on the R1. [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image]…
  21. My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? 25 Mar 2009 00:58 [image: View Post]cbennett5199, on Mar 24 2009, 07:01 PM, said: Unfortunately, most of the riding I do now involves longer slab runs, and my back has been getting worse for a while. I have ridden with heli-bars a while,…

  25. Lsl Superbike Kit Installed! 19 Mar 2009 00:16 After 14,000 miles last summer I decided I needed to something to make this bike more comfortable or sell it and get something else. Well, the VFR is my favorite of all the bikes I've owned. Including those that I built…
  26. V-tec Valve Adjustment 10 Mar 2009 20:10 $600 is ridiculous. I'm going to go BR's route. I'll just ride it and won't bother with a valve check, find another motor, sit it in the corner of my garage, if I have a problem swap the motors out.
  27. Pelican Case As Side Bags? 3 Feb 2009 16:00 Function over form! Do it!

  29. Just Found This Not Sure If You All Have Seen It Yet 5 Nov 2008 20:17 Every time I see one of these threads I just "hear" Charlie Brown's mom talking.
  30. Just Got A 2006 Prl Blk $8000 Only 966mi 4 Nov 2008 11:45 Congrats on the new to you bike! Although, you do realize that the pearl black absorbs the most light and is therefore the slowest of all VFR's? :biggrin: Oh, and maybe you should post some pics so we all believe you.
  31. Ds Tires On A Vfr 30 Oct 2008 21:30 This guy rode an R1 to Alaska. The VFR should be no problem at all! http://video.google....823511260224128

  33. Staintune Spuds - In Or Out? 14 Oct 2008 14:39 Leave 'em out if you like it. I have gutted stock cans. They are loud but I'm positive it's not louder than the HD's that leave every morning in my neighborhood. Yes, we should police ourselves but let's not get carried…
  34. How To Make Your 6th Gen Roar 25 Jul 2008 18:19 I'll give you an A for effort for trying something else. But to be honest, that looks terrible. I know it's just a mock up. But even with a real pipe and slip on..... it still doesn't look good. Just my two cents.
  35. Vfr Triple Clamp Project 22 Jul 2008 15:00 Wow! That's some very nice machining! I'll take a set! :blink:

  37. Want To Clarify 27 Jun 2008 19:13 OMG - close this thread. I can't take anymore of the self righteousness. Let's stick to VFR's and riding. :fing02:

  40. Shifting The Vfr 26 Jun 2008 20:55 Man, the timing of this couldn't be any better. I have been experiencing some clunky shifting with Mobile1. Not impressed at all with it in this bike. I'm due for another oil change in the next week or two. I'm not sure…

  42. Im Gonna Kill My Son 25 Jun 2008 03:04 AB-Oz instead of thinking of punishing your 4yo son, give yourself a smack in the head for allowing it to happen and be glad you're not posting something like "my 4y.o. knocked the bike over onto himself and was badly…
  43. Im Gonna Kill My Son 25 Jun 2008 02:50 Wow! I don't really know what to say to that post. First thing that comes to mind is .....He's 3 years old!!!!! Unfortunately, we can't pick our parents. Seems like this little boy got a bum deal.
  44. Group Riding Rules 19 Jun 2008 16:00 ^ Those are excellent rules. I only have 3 basic ones when riding on straight or multi lane roads with a group: 1. Always ride staggered. (this is obviously single file when on back roads) 2. Know your hand signals and…
  45. Oem Hard Bags; Looks And Where To Buy 19 Jun 2008 13:46 Don't bother with the side bags. They don't hold that much and make a wide profile. Get the topbox. Yes, it looks pretty ridiculous but it is without question the most functional of the OEM bags. It provides a pillion…
