  1. Wiring up power source for GPS/cell phone charger 25 Jun 2012 23:45 I ordered mine from Cyclenutz, they are a WI company so I had to pay tax on it, but kept my money somewhat local. Seemed more complicated than it had to be to go to a powerlet or a cig lighter and this way I only have…
  2. Which online map do you use for route planning? 7 Aug 2011 00:46 Downloaded TYRE and put it to the test today. As far as laying out a route it is much easier than Mapsource. TYRE won't recognize my GPS, says no Garmin product is attached, not much help in TYRE's help or online so IDK…
  3. Which online map do you use for route planning? 31 Jul 2011 22:28 I always use google maps when looking for something, just used to it. Looking around at other sites trying to find one that will avoid interstates. Rand Mcnally has the option to avoid highways, which would be great if…
  4. Wiring up power source for GPS/cell phone charger 24 May 2011 19:53 Mostly interested in wiring it up so I have power for my GPS, it lasts days on the batteries but pretty useless after dark. I'm thinking since I am tackling this it wouldn't hurt to also have the option to charge my…
  5. Full Exhaust Gut 22 Jul 2010 03:09 I gutted the exhaust on my 5th gen and noticed nothing but positives and it is no louder than other bikes with aftermarket pipes....and for way cheaper. I didn't just gut it though, I built a "baffle" on the same…

  7. Are these stock 5th gen bars? 24 Apr 2010 22:02 Look stock to me, pics of my '98, best ones I have on the computer already that show the handle bars. [image: Posted Image] This one shows the height a lil better. [image: Posted Image] Zach571
  8. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 8 Sep 2009 22:36 Yep for my 929 shock. PM me with your payment needs, paypal etc.. Thanks Brian PM sent, and I forgot to mention in there that the spanner wrench works great with my 929 in my 5th gen VFR, I have no way to say for…
  9. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 8 Sep 2009 10:22 I need a spanner as my tools were dropping out the back of my bike like some kind of bombing run this weekend. Almost took out 2 of the riders behind me. Let me know how much $$ for a good wrench. Also with the shock…
  10. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 7 Sep 2009 15:49 So I installed the 929 shock tonight and I have battery tray interference. Has anyone who installed with battery tray interference had any ill effects with either the suspension acting weird or anything else? I finally…
  11. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 23 Aug 2009 22:49 . Should I try to fill the gap with jb weld or not worry about it since the spacer will be compressed? I'm worried about the spacer walking around. Thanks for any help, I can post pics tonight if need be. I would say…
  12. Pics Of Your Gps Setup 19 Apr 2009 16:20 [image: View Post]vwrxtrd, on Apr 19 2009, 10:20 AM, said: My Minimalist GPS setup. Cheap, great on or off the bike, runs forever on batteries, can also be plugged in, easy to take on and off at stops. Ditto. I have a…
  13. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 4 Mar 2009 11:25 What about the talk of an adapter that you could reuse your old mount? Something like this: [image: Posted Image] I guess I missed that talk, the idea of making an adapter and still using the stock mount never crossed…

  15. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 28 Feb 2009 01:11 My 5th gen shock is ~ 12 13/16" (325mm) eye-center to eye-center. My 12"/300mm caliper says that the 929 shock is 286.4mm, so a 38mm difference. All this is for a 5th gen, I do not know about how the others are setup. I…
  16. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 19 Feb 2009 22:22 That would be awesome earache, the drawing there though is for a fourth gen bike, we or at least I need one for a fifth gen, I think the size is a little different, but really sure of the size. Does anybody else have…

  18. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 2 Feb 2009 22:18 I have seen several of these with round spacers. Anyone concerned about the shock rotating, since the oem square bracket is no longer "keyed" by the frame channel? I guess it's remote, but I don't know for sure. Zach -…
  19. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 12 Jan 2009 22:55 Does the VFR spanner wrench work on the 929 shock?? Ultimately that doesn't matter to me because my bike didn't have the tool kit with it when I purchased it, so I plan on making a spanner wrench. I haven't installed my…
  20. 929/954 Shock Install (5th Gen) 31 Dec 2008 01:15 So... I decided to follow the trend and replace the rear shock on my 4th gen VFR with a newer CBR929 part. Here are the measurements I got: - 4th gen VFR shock, eye center to eye center fully extended - 324mm - CBR929…
