All 34- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Greg, I'd quit screwing around with the shop you're using, especially if you've already paid for the design work. Beyond that, you can use the file I made for you. It's fully parametric, which is geek speak for fully…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen There are some great options out there for printing in plastics and metal. Metal would be the right solution, but it's pricey. Using the model I posted above goes for about $125 in stainless steel and about $180 in…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen There's another fellow on here who was working on a set of 8th Gen mirrors. I'm not sure where he ever finished. Just about all the OE mirrors with integrated signals have a horizontal-ish base mount - whereas the VFR…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr It was a great price, but it needed some TLC to shine up. Plus, I don't have ABS... I'll have to find a set of those decals.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr That's pretty mint, congrats. The sixth gen is a great used value...for buyers. Picked mine up about 15 months ago with 18k miles on the clock. Had some scratches on the fairing which I fixed, but I only paid $1600 for…
- Gsxr Mirror Mounts For 6Th Gen Bikes Taking Orders Now I'll take a set.
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Hey Greg...please add me to the list.
- 05 Or 08? VFRpwr 08 has, allegedly, more refinements to the fuel injection mapping (arguable), an ECM OBD2 port (for simple installation of a future GPI, if you wish), different front calipers (06-09), an upgraded electrical…
- Gsxr Mirror Mod - Cad Files? Ok, so I'm after the ever-elusive GSXR mirror mod. I know there is a history on this forum, and some of it was lost with the great reset. I'm hoping you all can share what you know or have. I need to relplace the…
- Vtec Slider Pins/button I just saw this now, but I have a set if you need them. Let me know.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Awesome! Can't wait to see it!
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr I dig the RC46 stickers and would consider a set. Any chance we can use the VFR font style on the lettering? Something like this: [image: Honda-VFR-800-VTEC-09.jpg]
- 6Th Gen Led Battle! Interested in seeing what you guys are doing, so I'm jumping onto this thread. So far I've done this: Brake/Tail: http://www.amazon.co...duct/B00HJEXEF8 . I can't say if these are brighter than the stock halogens, but…
- Servo Proportional Control Valve And Rear Proportional Control Valve Operation That's a great place to start, thanks. My sixth gen manual doesn't list this information - very good explanation. It looks like the part number changed from 5th to 6th gen. I assume they changed the internals, as it…
- Servo Proportional Control Valve And Rear Proportional Control Valve Operation I've been across the internet and back trying to find out more information on these two valves. Press material is scant, at best, and the factory service manual glosses right over them aside from telling how to…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen Well, having inadvertently opened the valve covers, thus eliminating the Soichiro magic, I'm left with this:
- Valve adjustment 6th gen Normally, I'd never adjust if the valves were in spec (even on the border). I have two intake valves that are right on the tolerance this time, though. I'll be adjusting those to the loose side just because I'm going…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen The thing is, you never want the valves 'to zero'. The measurements are done on a cold engine and the tolerances account for thermal expansion during use. Only the engineers at Honda know what cold clearance translates…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen I carved out a bit of time last night to re-check the front cylinders and look at the non-VTEC rear valves. Confirmed that all fronts are indeed out. Both rear non-VTEC exhausts are out, but intakes are in (but at the…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen The 5th gen adjustment really was the easiest i've every done. I miss that... Will confirm measurements later today and assess the situation in greater detail.
- Valve adjustment 6th gen I checked all four valves on the front cyls. Although I have a lift in a well lit garage, the job was pretty easy. It's just that you have to do it twice. More involved than I'd prefer, but it isn't the worst thing I've…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen Hey all, bringing this thread back from the dead. I felt that was a better option than starting yet another thread. I bought my 03 back in the fall with about 18.6k miles on the clock. Knowing the service manual spec'd…
- 6Th Gen Galfer Brake Line Group Buy Wow, that is an excellent price for the complete kit. I thought so, too! This is killing me - another must-have farkle. Do the kids really need new shoes this Christmas??? For now I'll have to be in the "I'll think…
- 6Th Gen Galfer Brake Line Group Buy Hello everyone, Just got approval from the moderators to post this, so here goes! After recently picking up a red 6th gen, Stoltec Moto and Galfer decided to run a special on VFR braided stainless steel brake line kits.…

- Thinking of buying a sixth gen... Do you guys have a link to what is involved with changing out the CCT's? Does the engine need to drop? How much do the replacements cost? Are they durable?

- Thinking of buying a sixth gen... Yes, I realize I'm in the sixth gen forum. I realize most of you love your bikes. But hear me out. Where I'm at: I just sold my last Buell, and while I loved those bikes dearly, I've spent too much time wrenching and…
