  1. replace or new vin safety certification label 18 Nov 2016 05:03 Thanks, I won't sweat it then
  2. replace or new vin safety certification label 17 Nov 2016 23:08 Ok thanks
  3. replace or new vin safety certification label 17 Nov 2016 22:06 Is there any way to replace or order a new vin safety certification label? I peeled mine off years ago, looking back now I don't know why, but I'm selling my vfr and I'm not sure if that will be a problem. [image:…
  4. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 14 Apr 2016 04:48 I like it. And it looks like it's hung with a different bracket than the passenger peg so you could remove them if you wanted to.
  5. Honda Officially Drops Price Of Interceptor 8 Apr 2016 16:09 Shinigami There is no sign of a 2016 in the pipeline for North America. Until the leftover 14's are gone, there's no incentive to ship more into the states. I saw a '16 in Japan last week though, so they are building…
  6. Lower Bar Risers 10 Mar 2016 03:27 Cool...thanks
  7. Lower Bar Risers 10 Mar 2016 03:24 VLJ, VTec VFRs have 43 mm fork stanchions, the same as on the CBR1100 XX. They are ~0,75" lower than those on the VTec and would offer an oe look. Btw, Phantom is confused about fork sizes: 1990-2001 VFR750/800 and all…
  8. Lower Bar Risers 10 Mar 2016 02:02 Ok so 45mm is the size. I think the CBR bars are regular supersport style and have no rise to them, I think that might interfere with the body/fairings. I'm kinda surprised that this hasn't been tried on a 6gen.
  9. Lower Bar Risers 9 Mar 2016 20:23 I'm curious how an inch and a half or two lower would feel. I see here... [/url] http://vfrworld.com/...5157-lower-bars [/url] that it's been done and he liked the results. I'm 6'4 and I could get away with a little…
  10. Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 29 Feb 2016 08:08 The price difference is in ABS, traction control. Heated grips I'm sure there are more but only you guys get the option. Those features don't interest me as I've done without it on the 6th and don't see the need for it…
  11. Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 29 Feb 2016 06:57 Those prices in PA are great. Here in S Florida the Delux is still 13... The base can be had for 9k. Of all the Delux features the only that interest me are the center stand and adjustable suspension. The center stand…
  12. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 16 Feb 2016 23:39 I can't tell if u guys are being dicks or not? I don't own an 8gen I have a 6th. I'm interested in picking up an 8th but am curious of what can options there are. I've obviously googled and have seen quite a few but I…
  13. Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 12 Feb 2016 18:54 Well then my speedo is crazy off. Has anyone done a real gps reading of top speed on either generation?
  14. Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 12 Feb 2016 07:11 How does the top speed compare? My 6th with 1 tooth down and 2 up in the rear gearing has hit a speedo indicated 170. Now I know with the gear change it should be off but I had a buddy on his gsxr1000 walk me at that…
  15. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 30 Oct 2015 02:36 Question about the iXiL, can it be mounted without the passenger peg/bracket? Since its so short it looks like it'd be sturdy enough without it and that would clean up the rear even more...for those that ride solo of…
  16. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 4 Sep 2015 15:23 Step in the right direction. Kinda undertail and completely showing the wheel. Now just a bracket of some sort to go to the tail and then the rear pegs can be removed, really cleaning up the rear. Or shoot...a bracket…
  17. Engine Mounts And Vibration 18 Aug 2015 09:16 Let us know how it looks in there.
  18. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 30 Jul 2015 03:35 I recently installed the Ixil LX3 in black and it sounds great. Not as loud as I thought but still sounds good. That's my favorite so far, clears up the view of the wheel the best. Does it have to hang with the…
  19. Engine Mounts And Vibration 24 Jun 2015 11:43 gswanson Possibly a dirty injector? Do the vibes match engine revs? hmm, maybe. If ur asking if the vibes are there when I coast but match the rpm then yes. In trying to track down the vibes I replaced the plugs…
  20. Engine Mounts And Vibration 24 Jun 2015 03:41 BusyLittleShop Even though an 90º V4 sports perfect primary and second balances they still vibrate to some degree and the one thing to eliminate if you feel more vibrations or hear an odd rattle is a loose exhaust…
  21. Engine Mounts And Vibration 24 Jun 2015 01:39 I have all the parts lined up on eBay, even a new clutch cover as mine is scratched up, and I'm ready to jump into this but I'd hate to order parts and open it up to find its all ok. Dunno if the vibration would be…
  22. Engine Mounts And Vibration 23 Jun 2015 22:50 Could a worn out clutch cause vibrations? I don't have any slipping issues but my release/engagement point is lever all the way out or first pull of the lever. I cleaned out the reservoir, cleaned the little orfice hole…
  23. Engine Mounts And Vibration 19 Jun 2015 17:07 Mohawk The engine is bolted solid to the frame as its a stressed member holding the rear swingarm pivot on the back of the cases. If the vibration disappears when in gear at speed with the clutch pulled, then its likely…
  24. Engine Mounts And Vibration 19 Jun 2015 10:01 recently I got a vibration I can't track down. 25k on her and in checking for the vibration, which isn't wheels/tires or suspension related; I replaced the chain and my worn out Vortex aluminum sprocket, tried going…
  25. A quick pic on the first ride of the season ! 8 Apr 2011 21:47 Great color!! :fing02:
  26. New Exhaust with lots of Photos 23 Jul 2010 12:20 I called Leo Vince a couple of weeks ago and spoke to a rep, he said the end caps can be purchased seperately and simply installed for those of us with the old style. He wanted me to measure my cans so he could part out…

  29. Headers 18 Oct 2009 01:41 Did my 5th gen header swap today. Went well, really no probs at all just a lil back and forth with the final fit. I was able to reuse all the clamps and gaskets. The 6th gen clamps wont fit but the pipes I got were in…

  31. Vtec Shock Options 27 Jun 2009 22:10 Hey Jamie, any update on the 929 shock upper mount extension? Edited June 27, 2009 by vlj1216
  32. Leo Vince Mystery Cans 27 Jun 2009 00:22 I called LV last week about the same cans and they told me that they do sell them for the VFR. It doesn't show on their site but it is available, new can style with a cap type end instead of the spout type. He said the…
  33. Pictures Of 09 Vfr? 3 Jun 2009 03:16 [image: View Post]timmythecop, on Jun 2 2009, 08:13 PM, said: heres a photo af a black 2010. does that help? http://www.honda-vfr.com/gallery2/d/26-2/new%20honda%20vfr.jpg Is this a real 2010??? Any more pics if it is?
  34. To Buy Back The Salvage Or Not? 21 May 2009 04:05 I also think you should buy it back but a quick question...doesn't the Anniversary Ed come with a black frame??
  35. A Little Disapointed With My New Vfr 6 Apr 2009 00:08 I don't understand...why would you buy a 6th gen if you don't even like the appearance? To me that's the first thing that must be appealing.
  36. '95 Vfr750 Conversion 22 Jan 2009 00:36 not to thread jack but are there any bolt on 6th gen swaps for just the front end? I luv my 6th but I think there are alot of better looking cowls out there. [image: Posted Image]

  39. Powder Coat My Swing Arm Black 5 Nov 2008 03:11 painting the frame, forks, etc. black is a MAJOR undertaking because you've literally got to disassemble the entire bike. cherry red on a silver frame, forks, etc. looks pretty good if you ask me. i think Honda looked…
  40. Powder Coat My Swing Arm Black 28 Oct 2008 02:53 You actually can't tell from the pic if they're powdered or painted, good powder and application looks identical although powder will hold up better to dings and chips as well as many chemicals. It's generally a little…
  41. Powder Coat My Swing Arm Black 27 Oct 2008 15:51 Not a 6th gen, but you get the idea: [image: Posted Image] 89_1_b.JPG [image: Posted Image] de_1_b.JPG [image: Posted Image] 41_1_b.JPG That's what I'm talking bout! All the black looks painted though, not powdercoated.…
  42. Powder Coat My Swing Arm Black 27 Oct 2008 03:48 ever since I was on the sales floor deciding between my red or the anv edition 07 I wanted more black on the bike. I went with the red but I wish I had the black frame. I've already painted my radiators black and I…
