  3. 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 7 Oct 2012 17:25 Home safe. Thanks to everyone who came out this year. It was a smaller group, but still an outstanding time. Special thanks goes to Seb (aka: Ball Rider) for once again hosting and sharing his home turf with us and…
  4. 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 19 Sep 2012 18:32 I just made my reservations. FYI, I got the sense that rooms are filling up. If you're on the fence, you might want to grab a room now.
  5. 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 16 Sep 2012 22:13 New Kawi Concours 14, just picked it up this year as a leftover. The VFR was borrowed by my brother-in-law last month and he managed to crash twice in one day :angry: I'm still in the process of fixing/replacing all the…
  6. 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 15 Sep 2012 20:37 Time off work? Check. She who must be obeyed? Out of town with the kid, check. VFR fully repaired? Not even close. I'll be there, but it's looking like it'll be on the OTHER bike :ph34r:
  7. 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 8 Sep 2012 00:14 I'm hopefully in. Still waiting on parts for the VFR with no ETA, so I may be on the Concours14 :ph34r: Work will be the deciding factor, but it's a holiday weekend so I should be good to go.
  8. Another Leo Vince question 7 Jun 2012 18:22 Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, been busy. One thing to keep in mind with the CF vs Alum, is that LV does not do a great job of sealing the CF. After three years of hard use, my friends CF Leo's needed to be…
  9. GoPro! Highway 36 Trailer 22 Sep 2011 12:59 HA! My nanny was looking over my shoulder and asked "What movie is that? It looks cool!" Very nicely done :fing02:
  10. Renthal diamond grips - anyone using them? Long term grip reviews 9 Sep 2011 01:25 Seb, if your still interested, you can check mine out at the Catskills ride. I've got the medium on my 06. I'm on my second set, very happy with them. [image: grips.jpg]

  12. Need help with a top case, lots of questions 11 Aug 2011 20:30 Done and done. Thanks Ken you've got a great rack :491: Installed the Givi V46, M5 base and KK's rack in about 20 minutes. Everything bolted together nice and tight. Hardest part was putting the stop light in the Givi…
  13. 6th gen solo racks for sale 8 Aug 2011 19:54 Ken, I got my rack today. SUPER nice piece of kit, I could not be happier. Guys, if you are even remotely on the fence, or ever think you might want a top case someday, you need to get this mount. Very well made and…
  14. "VFR" decals 3 Aug 2011 18:37 Judging by the massive price increase, maybe they are now complying with Honda's normal pricing? I had heard that they got sued or something for selling OEM parts way below Honda price. [image: View Post]Skids, on 03…
  15. Ram stem mount for garmin nuvi 255w installed 3 Aug 2011 15:55 I have the same setup for my Nuvi 750, but I have it mounted off the forward tank mount holes. Basically the same position as your pic, but leaves room to get the key in & out, and a view of the gauges. Still viewable…
  16. "VFR" decals 3 Aug 2011 13:27 Found them. Seems they got a whole lot more expensive tho. :blink: DSS Link
  17. "VFR" decals 3 Aug 2011 13:09 You mean these? [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] Seb called it, they are the Euro decals. They are raised and look super nice. We did a group buy here a few years ago and got them from David Silver spares in…

  19. Need help with a top case, lots of questions 30 Jul 2011 18:05 Thanks for all the info guys. Ken, Paypal inbound for a solo rack. FWIW, I am going with the Monokey. More of an investment, but something I can take from bike to bike so it's long term. I'm just hoping I can get the…
  20. Need help with a top case, lots of questions 30 Jul 2011 16:09 I did look at the E460. It's nice, but I really just like the look of the V46 better (call me vain) and it's only a few dollars more than the E460. I was more asking about the differences of the Monolock system (E450)…
  21. Need help with a top case, lots of questions 30 Jul 2011 13:42 I'm looking to add a top case to my 06 for some upcoming trips. The plan is to get a KKen solo rack and add either the Givi V46 or the E450. I've got a few questions that I'm hoping someone can help with: 1) The V46…
  22. MOTYDesign.com Light Weight Battery Group Buy 21 Jun 2011 17:33 I picked up one of these after I missed the last group buy. I had alot of problems getting it started on cold mornings (40-50 degrees). I'd hit the starter and everything would die. Clock would reset and then nothing. I…

  25. It's a Done Deal! 1 Jan 2011 01:20 That's great man! Congrats to the both of you. I wish you both all the happiness and joy life has to offer!
  26. I'm in the club now 20 Oct 2010 01:53 I've low sided at the track, jumped it off a curb and did a 360░ slide on the hard bag. I've even tried to CATCH another 6th gen as it fell (bad idea, almost lost a finger). But as of yet, I have not done the driveway…
  27. 6th Gen Suspension Upgrades, starting point? 7 Oct 2010 23:12 Soooo. Just buy a used F4i rear shock off of ebay and send that and my forks to Jamie? That sounds easy enough. Anything I should look for on the F4i shock? Just any old one? Stupid question, and forgive my n00b-ness.…
  28. 6th Gen Suspension Upgrades, starting point? 7 Oct 2010 19:14 I'm finally getting to the point where I feel I might benefit from upgrading the suspension on my 06. The thing is, where do I start? New springs? Forks? F4i forks? If you were looking at a BASE LINE for a suspension…

  30. 6th Gen Gold rims 7 Oct 2010 00:52 Ok, I've made more than a few promises to post pics of my new wheels. Sadly, I've been slacking. So here you go..... [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] Thanks to Seb for the find and Greyghost08 for the great…

  35. Newbie sprocket question 18 Sep 2010 02:01 Stock chain will fit fine. The problem will be finding a +2 rear. Sprocket Center seems to be the only place that has them, but far too many here have reported fitment problems for my taste. YMMV. And welcome! Great…
  36. 09 Cbr1000rr Mirrors Retro Fit On Vfr 29 Jun 2010 20:19 I'm still interested. And I think you'll see much more interest generated when you have a finished working product for everyone to see. I can see how you might not want to take that risk though. Sorry can't help with…
  37. 09 Cbr1000rr Mirrors Retro Fit On Vfr 23 Jun 2010 14:35 Still keeping an eye on this. I'd love to see how this turns out. Depending on cost and fitment, I would be in for a set.

  40. GenMars, where to buy and pics? 7 Apr 2010 16:35 Anyone have GenMar risers on their 6th gen? I'd love to see what they look like before I pop for them. Also, anyone have a good/cheap place they got their risers from? TIA
  41. Leo Vince or WTwo Brothers for 6th Gen VFR? 23 Feb 2010 18:11 I've heard them both, and Infidel said it best. You're going to be happy one way or the other as both sound much better than stock. Sound is a matter of personal taste, but for me the 2Bro's sounded louder and harsher.…

  47. Time For Another Oil Change/.. 3 Oct 2009 14:56 Oh crap :unsure: Feel free to run full synth. FYI, asking which oil to use can open a big can of worms. Everyone has a opinion on the matter and no one seem to agree. It can get nasty. Do a quick search in the right…
  48. Will Leo Vince Exhaust Fit With Factory Honda Saddlebags On 2007 Vfr800? 29 Sep 2009 23:49 Seems to be yes. Link Or if you feel like waiting I'll post pics of mine when I get the bags mounted :laugh:

  50. Looking At The Vfr...hmmm 17 Sep 2009 15:11 Most of it already has been said, and said well. Last year I made the jump from a 08 CBR600rr to a 06 VFR. At first I was VERY disappointed. The added weight, the power loss. I was pissed. IIRC the weight difference is…
