All 19- Track Day At Summit Point Great Videos! If only I could get the audio on my Archos recorder to sound as good (without the wind noise). What video setup are you using?
- Should I Hold Out For Abs? You'd be perfectly happy with a non ABS model.......until you make a panic stop in the wet or on unseen gravel. Then you'd wish you had purchased a bike with ABS.
- How To Make Your 6th Gen Roar I did finish the exhaust by putting it undertail with a dummy can on the other side. If I could have found some inexpensive cans with a little more conventional look, I would have gone that route. Even though it started…
- Do I Need A Steering Dampner? Congratulations on the new bike! No need for a damper. Head shake is not likely to occur even during aggressive riding. If you haven't ridden in a while, be careful during very slow speed maneuvering on the VFR. I've…
- Oil Change Frequency Welcome to the forum. There are a number of oil threads in this forum that discuss just about every aspect of oil, including a multitude of opinions on what type of oil to use, frequency of changes, break-in periods,…
- Lee's Crazy Day My buddy and I were pulled over in similar fashion while accelerating briskly out of a small town somewhere in WV. As soon as we saw the lights go on, we pulled to the side of the road. As the officer drove up we were…
- Total Height Of Sixth Gen? Not Seat Height. That's to the top of the fairing with the windscreen removed. The fairing bracket and dash top are only about an inch below that. You might get some more clearance if you flatten the front tire and perhaps lower the…
- Total Height Of Sixth Gen? Not Seat Height. 44 inches to top of fairing, instrument panel is just below that.
- Battery Just....dead....nice Apexbattery.com has the ytz12s for $83 and the ytz14s for $94. Free shipping.
- How To Make Your 6th Gen Roar I had some spare time today and decided to relocate the exhaust under the tail. The bracket is new and the flex pipe is a bit longer. Total weight for the single exhaust is actually 5lbs 10oz. I'll add another can to…
- How To Make Your 6th Gen Roar Quote That does sound really, really sweet. However, I say forget the stupid looking flexpipe and have an exhaust shop bend you a real piece of pipe to fit. Obviously that is a pretty free-flowing set up (perhaps too…
- How To Make Your 6th Gen Roar I had a couple hours free this morning, so I decided to experiment a bit. First, I removed the exhaust for the first time and fired it up. It had a nice growl at idle but was very loud and raspy otherwise. Then I stuck…
- Public Service Announcement Thanks for the info on the Force Silver. The local PPG distributor sold me a quart of stock base from their Global line, saying said it was a match. It was close, but definitely not a match. I used the more economical…
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 [image: View Post]micheln, on Jun 15 2008, 09:50 PM, said: Nice solution. Does anyone have any opinion about soft bags vs hard bags? Michel Hard bags have two primary advantages compared to soft bags which are weather…
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 Received my Harbor Freight flyer in the mail today. The bench bender is on sale at local stores for $51.75. Make sure you call ahead to see if it is in stock. Their 7 function digital multi-tester for $2.99 is another…
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 The bike was at Blalock. They advertised it for $5,900 but I ended up paying $4,800 in the end. I'll be painting the top of the tank soon where the previous owner did his magic cover-up for a dent on the top left side.…
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 The pipe bender used is Harbor Freight sku 44094-2VGA which lists for $79.99 but occasionally goes on sale for half price. The bender comes with numerous dies, I used the 1" die for the shortest radius bends. As far as…
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 I'll add the dimensions and bend angles tomorrow. The bar length is just a couple inches short of 4 feet. The bender was something I picked up at Harbor Freight last year on sale for $40.
- My Saddlebag Solution - $100 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1211928856/gallery_14326_3884_12290.jpg Saddlebag Mount Side I didn't want to spend a fortune on saddlebags but I still wanted a securely attached setup with lots of capacity.…
