Last 50 of 97- How to get an exhaust note like this?! Howdy, You get the low throaty tone from the size of the can. I have a set of Microns. The cans have a large volume (inside space), and they sound really good, and are relative quiet. I don't have the tech toys to post…
- Skidmarx Hugger Very nice!
- Official Skidmarx Hugger Group Buy ***CLOSED*** Howdy, I ended up passing this one by. My youngest needs braces on her teeth. I am interested to see some pics of the hugger installed, and to see how y'all dealt with the brake lines. Thanks again, Yosh. Mac
- Best battery for 4th gen VFR's? Howdy The lithium-nickle hydrides cost a pretty penny. They save a but-load of weight. Mac
- Official Skidmarx Hugger Group Buy ***CLOSED*** Thanks YoshiHNS!
- Interest in Skidmarx Hugger group buy? Howdy Folks, Just wanted to bump this thread. Mac
- Interest in Skidmarx Hugger group buy? Howdy, I am interested in a CF for a 6th gen. Please include me on the list, and let's see what kind of price we can get. Thanks! Mac
- Learning Curve �Numb Hands, Throttle Control. Body Position Howdy, VTX 1800 = PIG VFR 1200 = Past Forker! I have rode both. Mac.
- My 5.5gen VFR Heck Yea! I could do that.... if I had .... Nope. Enjoyed your work. Mac
- Can I buy just a mirror stem for a 6th gen? Howdy, This will save you a little- http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_2420wt_1180 The also have long stem mirrors, so you don't have to look at your elbows.
- Engine flat past 10,000 rpm? Howdy, Here is the requested addendum to the thread jack: Shady Valley is on Hwy 421, before you get to Mountain City, TN. Try the linky. It is the local version of Deals Gap. I'll pass through there after church,…
- Engine flat past 10,000 rpm? Howdy, If you search around on this sight for references to dyno results for 6th gens, you will find that your bike is normal. At the highest rpms, you are past the peak torque, and hp begins to tail off. Ride it and…
- So what's your MPG??? Howdy, 36 MPG most of the time. I have gotten over 50 MPG on the highway, running in sixth gear. I think that I have only been in 6th once in the last year, and only use 5th part of the way to and from work. We ain't…
- Mity-Vac vs. cheap chinese. Recommendations? Howdy, Speed bleeder work great! No vac is needed. No air will get in the lines if you don't open the fluid reservoir until you have the new bleeders in place. If any should, it will come out with the old fluid. The…
- TimmyTheCop - Happy Birthday. Well, bless your heart! Happy Birthday!
- Which heated grips for VFR? Howdy, I really enjoy my "Hot Grips." I paid $100, and they have been solid and reliable for almost 5 years now. I sometimes wish that I had the fancy reostat controller, I am using a three way switch warm/off/BBQ. Mac
- Another surging thread... Howdy, Surging at 2000-3000 rpm, in a turn? I think that the problem my be that you are too high in the gear box. Mac

- A&A PAIR block off plates special run Howdy, Please include my name on the list. Thanks- Mac
- "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight Howdy, When I commute this time of year ( if the weather allows it ) the trip both ways is in the dark. High beams only drop for traffic, and won't shine around the side of the mountain. At least not any better than you…
- What are your favorite heated grips?? HOT GRIPS. It don't get no better. Mac
- Now I know why most run a PCIII Howdy, Just a thought- Might want to try some FI cleaner, and run he tank through it, without shifting any higher than third gear. What do they call that, "An I-tally-Ann Tune up" Mac
- Any experience with Tech Spec tank grips? Howdy, I have had the Tech Spec kit on my bike for better than twenty thousand miles. Originally what they shipped me would not stick to he tank, the adhesive remained on the paper, not the rubber. It took a couple of…
- Gun-shy or prudent? Howdy, How you get into the corner is important. For safety, I enter blind lefts, most turns are blind where I live, as close as possible to the white line on the side of the road. It gives me a better sight line…
- Oxford Heated Grips....any advice? Run them off the fuse feeding the cooling fans. Highly unlikely to be on at the same time. Howdy, Just a counter piont. I do not have Oxfords, but enjoy using my Hot Grips in the rain. I would not want them wired to my…
- MRA VARIO SCREEN REVIEW Howdy, I am pleased with my MRA Vario. It does shed the cold well when full up. The quality excellent after 5k of use. No issues, except it takes more time to clean. Mac
- My new 1200 vs. my 800's Howdy! I got a demo ride on one yesterday. These are some of my thoughts- Agreed, turn in is slower, maybe due to choice of rubber. Never have liked Dunslops. Weight, have to it feels heavier than my 6th gen, but the…
- Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? Love my MRA Vario- The quality is everybit as good as OEM, and I would buy it again. I also think highly of Twisted Throttle as a vendor. Mac

- While whaiting for a new race season.... I myself, can HARDly wait! Mac
- Post a Pic of Your 4th Gen! It is not mine, but if we can post pics of bikes that we have special feelings about well...... This 4th Gen is the first VFR I ever road. I can still feel the grin on my face after all these years. The black 6th Gen is…

- Seasons Greetings Y'all have a Merry Christmas, now....y'heer! Mac
- MRA VarioTour screen I have been using a Puig ST screen for a couple of years. The only problem that I've had with it is it just looks cheap. I asked Santa to bring me a MRA Vario ST for Christmas. I hope to be impressed. Mac
- Deer Whistles This is what I have noticed. A couple of years ago, I installed Micron cans on my bike. I did it as much to shave weight, as for the sound. It seems to me that the deer notice, and turn their heads, sooner than they did…

- What Brake Pads Are You Using? Hey PB, HH is a rating. EBC is a brand name, the best in the business. If you don't believe me, ask Brembo. Mac
- 3rd Gen Bike Porn @ Deal's Gap Now straiten me out, if I am incorrect. Lean angle is measured from vertcle, not horizontal. That is really getting with the program, at Shady. Nice work. Gotta give Rollin, a nod as not to thread jack this thing. I…
- lower pegs Check out "Busy Little Shop" on this site. Mac
- Dropping the pillion pegs Howdy, My wife would raise a the same complaint after a couple of hours. I got a new set of passenger pegs from Twisted Throttle. They helped a lot, but I was worried that I would drag her toe before my peg feeler, when…
- Need less vibration from my 2006. Is your front tire cupped? Have you checked the wheel to see if it is balanced? Check the head bearings? That is where I would start. Good luck, and keep riding! Mac
