- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 Let me know if y'all will dip down to NGA Sunday. Out of town guests until then.
- Pilot Road 2 clearance 19 hours ago, Tiutis Dutch, Are those ST or GT? I see a pair of STs for $200 which sounds like a deal based on reviews. WOAH! Where did you find that deal?!?! I usually switch up to touring tires in the winter.
- Pilot Road 2 clearance I just checked the date code- 4319! Less than a year old. Apparently they're still making them for sale here in the US of A! Tiutis, 3/19/2020 at 7:39 PM It was a good tire but, let’s be honest, there are newer and just…
- I wondered where the cool VFR-wear was Anybody around ATL want anything? It's free shipping over $100 and I'm not gonna spend that much! Lol
- Pilot Road 2 clearance If you liked the PR2 and like to save $$ Cycle Gear had fronts for $116. They're out of rears, but I found those over on Bike Bandit. Their fronts were more expensive so I only bought the rears there. Don't know how…
- I have been working on the site this weekend. Seconded! I've been so caught up in "business" these last few years that I lost track of y'all. 😔 I'm so happy to be getting those newsletters to poke me and show me what I'm missing!
- 2019 VFRD Memorial Spring Ride Hi guys, Just got home from Clayton. I found the greatest little restaurant with a motorcycle theme! The Rusty Cycle. Food is wonderful and prices reasonable. Thought y'all might like to check it out.
- if you went from a owning a 6th Gen to an 8th gen which do you prefer? The RWB is a GORGEOUS bike! I've always liked those. I had a white '06. Went through three stators/RRs in 70k miles. Was seeing signs of another outage imminent and some other electrical issues looming as well, so I…
- Compatibility of European dualsport model exhaust with 8th GEN? I found the most awesome exhaust for the bike on YouTube. It looks like an 8th GEN, but no info with the video. I researched the exhaust and even messaged with the company (they're French), but they couldn't vouch for…
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) GUILTY! Though I've pared down from 9 bikes. The stable got down to four after my Suzuki GSX-S750 got totaled. I locked it up on wet pavement. 😞 All I got was a broken little pinky and some gnarly bruises. lol Anyway,…
- Where to ride are ATL area. What part of Atlanta are you in? I'm on the North side near exit 12 McFarland PKWY off GA400.
- Ironbutt on my 2014 VFR 800 7 hours ago, MaxSwell I wish I could do an Iron Butt. The 1,000 mi in 24 hrs. variety. I've tried a couple of times but I need too many rest stops. The most I've done is 909 mi in a day, Minneapolis to Denver. I was…
- Exhaust This is the most KICK ASS exhaust I've seen. It's designed for the X model but here's a video of it fitted on an 8th Gen. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/UFmIcIW6ufs?feature=oembed]
- Ironbutt on my 2014 VFR 800 Sparkie, 10/2/2018 at 6:59 AM The stock seat is truly a medieval torture device. I beg to differ! I quite enjoyed my Iron Butt Assn SS 1k back in October. Ran up to Grand Rapids Michigan from just north of Atlanta. The…
- No more TEXASMAC !!! I've never been able to make it. There has always been some sort of conflict in schedule, but I'm still sad to see it end.
- Oem Video Needed Wow. I called Honda while I was waiting on the white bags to confirm that my helmet would fit. They told me no. That contributed to my decision to go with the givi bags.
- Bumpy Surface Wear On Front Tire I will give you two tips which will make this completely go away. 1.) Maintain proper air pressure. 2.) Stop racing to the curve and grabbing a hand full of brake before diving in. Number two is the key factor in most…
- Oem Video Needed My understanding is that the OEM bags are too small for a helmet.
- Bumpy Surface Wear On Front Tire Yup, just got this off the Duncrap site How can I keep my tires from cupping? You may not be able to entirely avoid cupping. Tire cupping or irregular wear is a somewhat common occurrence on all vehicles. On a…
- Bumpy Surface Wear On Front Tire Causes? We're good at keeping an eye on pressure. What are we missing?
- Bumpy Surface Wear On Front Tire Has anyone else noticed this on any gen? We've got both 6th and 8th gens. The surface of the tire looks normal until you run your hand over the length of it. Then you can feel the wavy or bumpy bits. It's with different…
- New To Vfr Congratulations on your wise choice of bike. Welcome!
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Check THESE out: http://www.ixrace.net The z7 is drool worthy!!!!! They're not available for the VFR ...yet. I'm corresponding with the manufacturer. There's a youtube video of a set on a vfr too. Gotta do a little more…
- Short/ Ec3 Error And Flashing Heated Grip Indicator When Wet Thank you. Yes, that's what Honda told the dealer. They've waterproofed the hell out of the grips to no avail so far. I'll post up if a solution is found.
- Short/ Ec3 Error And Flashing Heated Grip Indicator When Wet Whenever I start the bike when it's gotten wet, like after a good rain, the error code shows up very briefly where the clock should be. It's only for a few seconds right after the engine starts so you really have to…
- Twisty Butt Association Ride. Hmmm. Would anyone from the ATL area be interested in staying the night before in marble falls and then doing the ride and on home for a double? TBA & IBA SS1000
- Finally, Here She Is... Congratulations! Now go put some miles on in the hills. ;-)
- Fuel Cap I had water pooling around the filler under the cap. Took it in and they found that the drain hose was pinched. Warranty fix! Might want to get that checked.
- Georgia 6th and 8th in Milton just north of Alpharetta. Strap had an older gen at 1 time. I'll ask him. Edited March 18, 2015 by Blesk
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. My white bags just arrived at my dealer here in VT. DAMN! Glad I didn't wait. I'm also glad I got the bigger bags.
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. As for the missing GIVI part, PM me the partnumber and I can check locally. Thanks, Dutchy, but I'm happy having the rack for the top case anyway. Someone else might need it though... And NO! I will not be changing my…
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. Well, the Givi bags came in and they're installed! They look AMAZING on the bike!! There were no issues with installation and there are quick release points with a special "key" for removal of the side bag frames. I'll…
- Fuel Pump I have no idea if this would be related. I've never noticed any noises once the bike is off, but I just had some warranty work done on mine: After a rain I noticed that there was water pooling under the filler cap. The…
- Sad Day But I'm Lucky Glad you're here to tell the tale. The details of your gear speak highly of ATGAT. It's a good reminder to us all. Best wishes for the speedy recovery!
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. UPDATE: Still no bags from Honda. They've pushed the backorder back to some time in February. Apparently there was a dispute with the vendor. I'm stick of waiting! I'm going with the other option and getting GIVI bags.…
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. There is a set of VFR1200 bags in white on ebay.co.uk now - part #'s 08L70-MGE-D10ZE 08L51-MGE-822. The color is "Sunbeam White", color code NH-A66P. The buy it now is £450, or just over $700. If that is the same color…

- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. Lol
- Truck Restrictions On �The Dragon� Now, how about Garmin et al putting that in their fricken programming! Maybe that's a process improvement they need. "Type of vehicle" and then suitable roadways.
- Still Waiting On The Fricken White Side Bags.............. I'm a commuter and I prepaid for a "critical backorder" to be at the head of the line when they hit the 'states. The initial estimate was 24 December. I check today and Honda says, "Late December to early January."…
- Enjoy It While You Can Here our seasons have different names. January- heated gear April- water proof July- mesh September- leather/textile with removable liner :-p. Ha ha ha ha
- But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. Ok dudes. I've got one! Strap agrees with me. It's a totally different ride with almost unchanged ergonomics. Moving the radiators, integrating the turn signals, and dropping 40 lbs has made a huge difference in…
- Anyone Else Disappointed With The Head Lamps? I just rode my new 8th gen to work for the first time this morning. (Just got him yesterday) :D The lights seemed brighter and with a much wider spread than my'06. Either the old bike wasn't set up right or they did a…
- The "egg On Your Face" Thread Bright and early at a track day....... :schla15: Walk up to my trusty SV650, turn the key (mind you at this point I'm standing to the right of the bike), oh so nonchalantly take my right pointer finger and push the…
- Vfr1200 2015 Looks like a pregnant whale to me. :huh:
- Electrical Starting Problems - Need Troubleshooting Guidance Just because the battery reads the correct charge doesn't mean it will crank the bike. Take it to a parts dealer like AutoZone, O'Reilly's, Advace Auto, etc and have them check it out. If there's a dead cell it won't…
- Weird Engine Noise I Can't Identify, Input Needed It's hard to tell from the angle of the pictures, but it does seem to be hanging a bit low. How much slack is there? If it's more than a couple of cm it's probably slapping. Add a couple of kinks in the chain and there…
- Dargon Aren't Dargons those creatures from the kids movie Zathura?
- Official 11Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread , 2014 After an extended absence from this lovely place (VFRD), I'm giving fair warning that Strap and I are doing all we can to finally make it to a TMAC! It seems only right since we met here in the chat room. lol Looking…
