- Chain master link or riveted? and sprocket calculator Rivet. I like master links, but I too have lost my fair share.
- How To : Fitting A Hid Kit What I did differently was instead of using screws to mount the ballasts I just used the stronger two sided tape and mounted the ballasts to the inner upper fairing. That is a clean write up with great pics!

- Gap Vids Awesome!! I agree with Monk--love to hear the bike! My Vholdr is extremely noisey so my vids have to be edited... I Did the Dragon this past August, what a blast!
- A not so good ride! Praying for Factory, Bro!! Speaking life and healing to him!!

- CB1000R coming to the states! ...I believe that I would ride the snot out of it!!!
- Why do you post on VFRD Good, clean, (mostly) mature interaction over a common interest. The tech and ride reports are the best, and we don't argue too much about which tires are the best.
- My VFR Fork Lights Great mod! I did the same on my CBR600RR some years ago. Took a while to find a reasonably bright non-hid projector. Very useful lighting in corners! Welcome!
- Time to pack it in. How honorable!
- The Stand [image: View Post]OliverTwisted, on 25 June 2010 - 03:33 PM, said: Anyone seen the movie "The Stand" , is that a VFR the character Harold is riding? Just curious. I think he's on a 600 Hurricane.
- Tell Us Your Favorite Modifications. For me it would be the 929 shock for $30 (the swingarm was free!), the ZG touring windscreen $80, and the 'VFRness'-type electrical enhancements done with parts I already had. Priceless!
