  1. I am going to shut down vfrd soon 26 May 2023 10:33 I would have never met so many cool, knowledge people w/o VFRd. Most folks don't keep a job for 21 years now a days, let alone run a server for which the passion has faded. Congratulations HS, and thank you.
  2. I have been working on the site this weekend. 17 Mar 2020 15:05 Hey HS... I'm one of those long time users that haven't logged in for a long time. Happy to be getting emails again!
  3. 5th gen high mount 21 Feb 2017 14:10 Hahha! I bent the givi racks, not my up pipe :) That MIG is unobtainium! Sent from my LG-K540 using Tapatalk
  4. 5th gen high mount 21 Feb 2017 11:32 Although I can't help with your install, my MIG Indy high mount was a touch too wide for my give racks. So I made up some spacers and bent one side a touch. Isn't perfect but it is also a 17 year old bike ;) Sent from…

  11. Official 12Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2015 22 Mar 2015 23:23 Two will fit Seb. Two HF chocks in 3/4 ply. Timmy's and mine fit. You just need to offset the chocks about 4 inches
  12. Official 12Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2015 11 Mar 2015 20:43 Not in the cards for me this year even though the dates work. AngelRide and TMAC on different dates, but alas other stuff is taking priority. I will live vicariously through pictures and DeCoppe Studios Motion Pictures.…

  15. Samco Hose Kits For 3Rd & 4Th Vfr 750 11 Jul 2014 13:29 I'm considering these hoses for my 5th gen. Their # to $ conversion is a bit wonky though - current exchange is $1.71 to 1#, but their site is more of $2.10 to 1#. Also the image doesn't show the two short hoses for the…

  23. 11Th Annual Tmac Picture Thread 28 May 2014 12:16 Every year I go I run the camera... and not a pic of me. Maybe that's a good thing. At least there isn't a slew of "guess the crotch" shots when the camera was left unattended.

  33. 5Th Gen Electric Calamity 21 Mar 2014 18:56 Nope. This is a big azz ground connector. About 20 wires. The 'ness doesn't affect this block, but it is near it.
  34. 5Th Gen Electric Calamity 21 Mar 2014 12:02 Timmy, for the love of God, take the time to get access the stupid orange ground plug and check it out. It is buried under electrical tape near the RR.
