- 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 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…
- 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 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.
- 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 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…
- 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 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:
- 6th Annual Catskills Fall Ride: October 5-7, 2012 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.
- Another Leo Vince question 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…
- GoPro! Highway 36 Trailer HA! My nanny was looking over my shoulder and asked "What movie is that? It looks cool!" Very nicely done :fing02:
- Renthal diamond grips - anyone using them? Long term grip reviews 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]

- Need help with a top case, lots of questions 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…
- 6th gen solo racks for sale 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…
- "VFR" decals 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…
- Ram stem mount for garmin nuvi 255w installed 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…

- "VFR" decals 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…

- Need help with a top case, lots of questions 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…
- Need help with a top case, lots of questions 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)…
- Need help with a top case, lots of questions 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…
- MOTYDesign.com Light Weight Battery Group Buy 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…

- It's a Done Deal! That's great man! Congrats to the both of you. I wish you both all the happiness and joy life has to offer!
- I'm in the club now 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…
- 6th Gen Suspension Upgrades, starting point? 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.…
- 6th Gen Suspension Upgrades, starting point? 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…

- Newbie sprocket question 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…
- 09 Cbr1000rr Mirrors Retro Fit On Vfr 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…
- 09 Cbr1000rr Mirrors Retro Fit On Vfr 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.

- GenMars, where to buy and pics? 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
- Leo Vince or WTwo Brothers for 6th Gen VFR? 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.…

- Looking At The Vfr...hmmm 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…
