All 35- Staintune Exhaust makes noise! Thanks everyone for their input! I'm already on the neighbor's S-list, so I don't think I'll purposefully remove the remaining one. It sounds very sweet now, and I'll keep the tips about leaner running engine in mind.…
- Staintune Exhaust makes noise! Funny thing happened on a recent ride... I'm zippin' around Lake Washington as I am wont to do. Out of the blue, it sounds like some rice-burner import tuned kid car is right on my ass. There's a loud exhaust note that…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much I positioned them so that they're both closer towards me, and it's pretty nice! Donnie. I'm not sure just from looking at your picture,seems as your right(brake-lever)one is positioned ok, so i'm assuming your left is…
- ConvertiBars = Happiness On a previous thread, I was kindly reminded that I had ConvertiBars installed, not HeliBars like I mistakenly claimed. Duh. I was able to, with an appropriate hex socket, completely configure the height and orientation…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much WITH THE PROPER HEX SOCKETS this was a snap to adjust! Yee Haw! This first pic shows the left bar, after I adjusted its position around the fork tube. MUCH closer to me now: [image: Posted Image] This next image is of…
- Happy B-day to me... got a new helmet I'm considering a Scorpion EXO-400 meself. I've had two HJC helmets, and for the price, they've been good. I'm of the camp that you need to replace your helmet out in say 5 years... it gets a little gamey inside, and I…
- Convertibars.......Are they Still in Operation? That is excellent news! Every business should have problems like that, right? And they're American Made, too. Congrats on your new upgrade, show pics when they're on! :fing02: Took some pics of my adjustment…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Here's a picture of a set of convertibars installed on our generation of VFR. Note how the cyclops clamps are oriented so towards the rider/gas tank. Yeah, closer and higher bars = comfier I bet. [image: Posted Image]…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much That's a webmaster/technical issue of theirs. The problem is that it's not an http s :// URL. It's not gonna be approved by your browser unless you go and reset some privacy settings (which I wouldn't bother doing). If…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Egads, that's not a good sign... I'm no lawyer or accountant, but financially, if you use a credit card to make your purchase, I believe you're protected so if something flaky happens, you can get the charges reversed…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Hey Charlie, then try it on IE! Posted Image So I was literally ablut to go online and purchase the helibars and then I stumbled on this thread. I just tried to order the convtibars but then Firefox told me their online…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much thanks for your input, Flightar, I'm looking forward to experimenting with my setup this weekend. I see you have a MG Breva in your garage. How do you like it? Is that a standard, or a 'performance cruiser'? I have…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Not to Posted Image but... this thread may help someone else as well: There are some good Utube vids on the features of the convertibars. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Za19ma7TeKk VERY cool, I had no idea they were this…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much I think for FULL variety/customization, you may well need the line extensions... [image: View Post]Serenity_VFR, on 16 March 2010 - 12:01 PM, said: [image: View Post]Serenity_VFR, on 16 March 2010 - 10:55 AM, said: This…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much So this is interesting. I found bayarearider's convertibars orientation reversed from mine: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1268557440/gallery_17738_4736_110263.jpg The bar clamps are towards the rider,…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much ConvertiBars. Yes. Duh, Don. And yes you guys are right, they are very movable, in like all directions. Sorry for the confusion. Crap.
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much I took two pics of what's going on. First pic shows where/how the reservoirs knock the inside of the fairing: http://dongarber.com/images/helibar2.jpg Actually, it doesn't hit the fairing; the bar is raised as high as…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Hey code, how high do you have your bars? Are you able to set them up as far as safety allows, i.e. vertical bottom of the bar stems are flush with the bottom of the bar clamp? And I appreciate your offer for…
- my @$$ hurts Okay, now we're gettin' somewhere! I'm carrying a bit more weight myself at 260. Yeah, lay off. I like my Sargent seat, but... it could be better... couldn't it? Mebbe I'll check a Corbin... Quote I did exactly what…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much Thanks Bailey, I'll give that a try... rotating them about the fork tube about an inch and a half from the tank at full left/right. It does seem excessive to carve away some of the fairing... Let me ask you, though,…
- Helibars smack fairing, won't raise as much I've had my 02 VFR for about a year now. Love it. Mostly. I bought it at a dealership, and the previous owner added pretty much every desirable aftermarket part. Staintune exhaust, Zero Grav screen, helibars, PC,…
- Opinion, would this look cool? I'm not sold on the red grills... but the red decal (s?) look good , I think.
- I want a RWB paint job! Yeah, it's no fun when the holes don't line up... http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/comp13.gif http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/491.gif And I just saw…
- I want a RWB paint job! That first one is my favorite. I'd like to get close to the 80's theme/style, that's why I liked the 25th Anniv paint job. But, that's true, I don't have to have it EXACT! :fing02: And the Chinese plastic route isn't a…
- I want a RWB paint job! [image: View Post]ericlw, on 24 February 2010 - 06:44 PM, said: 7000-4500+taxes=cheaper?wow can i live in your world? If it'll cost $2k for a full good paintjob, then a 2007 is 'only' $500 more. PLUS it may have less…
- I want a RWB paint job! You know, I didn't even think of 'just' getting a set of plastics instead of painting mine... right now, there's a right side front fairing RWB for $60 on ebay. And then just having a painter paint the tank... Or,…
- I want a RWB paint job! As lovely as I think my fire engine red '02 VFR is, ... I'm feeling nostalgic. I remember making trips to the local Honda dealership in the mid 80's just to sit on the first gen Interceptors. So... how much you guys…
- Who Said Vfr.s Cant Wheelie? I think I pulled one first gear wheelie way back in 1989 with my then-new EX500. Wasn't exactly trying to, either, but it garnered oohs and ahhs from the other two biking buddies at the time. If I had an $800 old KLR…
- I Bought My First Vfr! A Red 07 And Have A Few Questions Wow. With the exception of that Captain Hook hand lookin- thingamagig, my high school teen special 1983 Honda Custom CM250 came with all of those tools under the seat. [image: View Post]VFR4Lee, on Jul 2 2009, 10:43 PM,…
- I Bought My First Vfr! A Red 07 And Have A Few Questions Hi Dan, I'm Don, I bought my used 2002 non-ABS Fiery Italian red VFR just shy of 2 weeks ago! When I took off my not-so-easy to detach Sargent seat, I was appalled to find zero toolkit! Apparently the previous owner (I…
- My Second Week With My 02 Vfr Well, that'll be the last time I post any opinions regarding the fairer sex around here ! :blink: [image: View Post]ericlee, on Jul 1 2009, 07:30 PM, said: She's not exactly hot, but she's a very nice, pleasant lady…
- My Second Week With My 02 Vfr HI Ryan, thanks for the comments. I started my seattle-motorcycles blog about 18 months ago, when I started looking at craigslist motorcycle for sale listings like 10 times a day to see what good stuff came up. Well,…
- My Second Week With My 02 Vfr :laugh: She's not exactly hot, but she's a very nice, pleasant lady, probably about my age. Also failed to note that my wife and I work under the same roof, albeit in different areas completely different concerns of the…
- My Second Week With My 02 Vfr Had a fun but brief week with my 02 Fiery Italian Red VFR. But as I wrote on my blog ... last Friday, I kinda... err... bumped into one of our Veep's shiny Toyota Prius in the parking lot. Yep. An 'accident'. Me,…
- Heli Bars My used 2002 came with Convertibars, Staintune exhaust, Sargent seat, and a powercommander. Trying to monkey with the bars, the clutch hydraulic reservoir always bangs into the fairing when I turn it that far over... Is…
