  4. Where to ride are ATL area. 1 Jun 2018 19:18 2 hours ago, Bent Head north to some of the best riding in the country. Just don't do it during rush hour which is turning into all the time. It's good enough that it doesn't matter whether it's one or two hours away.…
  5. Where to ride are ATL area. 1 Jun 2018 13:06 I finally moved and have the new house sorted out. No Home Depot trips planned this weekend. So where does Atlanta motorcyclists go for a ride? Are there diners, greasy spoons, cafes where you meet before heading out…

  7. NYC to ATL road trip 6 May 2018 14:59 What was left of my tire. I’m still amazed I found an open Honda MC dealership on a Monday! [image: 9C80BC64-2770-4873-ADBF-C3B1A769FF43.png]
  8. NYC to ATL road trip 6 May 2018 12:16 Made it to ATL. What a great ride, but I did find out the hard way that the BRMP road surface eats tires. About 120 miles into the trip my rear tire was showing steel belts! I was lucky to find Honda Suzuki of Lynchburg…
  9. NYC to ATL road trip 26 Apr 2018 21:52 Kickstand up early Sunday morning to my new home in Atlanta. I am not much of a planner, just gas & go. My initial plan is to ride to Front a Royal and figure out my next step over lunch. If any motels have WiFi I’ll…
  10. NYC to ATL road trip 14 Apr 2018 13:10 This is all excellent stuff. I will be shopping online with my morning coffee. One more question: will the the 8th gen charging system handle plugging in my phone while riding? I ask because I tried this on my 5th gen…
  11. NYC to ATL road trip 14 Apr 2018 02:17 The trip has a time limit, so there will be a balance of highway drone and back country strafing. Any input on throttle locks, tire kits?
  12. NYC to ATL road trip 13 Apr 2018 16:02 I am moving to the ATL area next month with my company and will be riding the 2014 Viffer down as part of the move. Its been quite a while since I taken such a road trip & I'm very much looking forward to it. I am…
  13. Two things I learned while riding today 12 Mar 2018 01:21 I hate the dash on my 2014. Like the 1997 much better.
  14. Angled Valve Stems 26 Feb 2018 19:42 All my old, crotchety and cheap biker buddys swear by Kurvey Girl valve stems. Each of our "A Team" has a specialty we share to help with our bikes. Because we go through so many tires we have one guy with a tire…

  16. What did you do to your VFR Today? 24 Jan 2018 22:30 I went out to the garage. Fiddled with this, cleaned that. Watched the battery tender light blink... *sigh*

  18. Dunlop Roadsmart 3's 2 May 2017 23:14 I know I'm late to the party, but any recommendations of where to buy Dunlop Roadmaster 3 tires? And yes, I'm looking for the cheapest price.
  19. Tank bag for Gen 8 recommendations 25 Apr 2017 21:29 fatshoutybloke, 4/21/2017 at 10:39 AM Where did you buy this tank bag?
  20. Tank bag for Gen 8 recommendations 25 Apr 2017 21:28 Where did you buy this tank bag?
  21. Tank bag for Gen 8 recommendations 25 Apr 2017 21:19 Wow, I didn't know there were so many options. The Givi tank lock system looks odd, like its perched on top of the tank instead of hugging it. I like the Bagster cover, mainly because my high strength steel claw chipped…
  22. Tank bag for Gen 8 recommendations 21 Apr 2017 11:59 I would like to treat my new Viffer better than my 1997, so I'm looking for any recommendations on a tank bag. Brand? Magnetic type or standard tank bag version with straps? thanks
  23. VFR Riders in the Hudson Valley 10 Apr 2017 21:51 I'm not that far north of NYC, but I do take rides that far. Maybe a meet up at Bear Mountain? I'll be riding to Newburgh tomorrow for lunch.
  24. VFR Riders in the Hudson Valley 5 Apr 2017 17:42 Are there any NY Hudson Valley, NY Metro, Tri-State VFR riders on this forum?
  25. Front Brake Hose - Could Be A Real Issue, feedback please! 31 Mar 2017 17:37 Honda has too many engineers and lawyers building motorcycles. Worry about something worthwhile, like where to ride your VFR.
  26. VFR Riders in the Hudson Valley 29 Mar 2017 20:27 Any Hudson Valley/NYC VFR riders heading out to Bear Mountain this weekend? Perkins Dr is probably still closed, but Tiorati Circle is always open. See you there!
  27. 8th Gen Luggage pics 11 Mar 2017 14:37 19 hours ago, Greytec Haven't seen the black version here yet... The black looks awesome.
  28. 8th Gen Luggage pics 10 Mar 2017 20:24 1 hour ago, Greytec You can search for 1200F panniers as well. The right pannier needs a little modification to fit the 800. There is a lump on the heat protection shield that hits the exhaust. Great tip. Thanks.
  29. 8th Gen Luggage pics 10 Mar 2017 18:09 Great pics guys. From the Honda web site it looks like the Trunk and trunk platform are separate purchases, correct? Any leads on used Honda luggage for the 2014 VFR800 would be greatly appreciated. TIA
  30. 8th Gen Luggage pics 10 Mar 2017 01:49 My lovely wife wants to join me on a 9 day road trip for the first time since before kids (the oldest is 18). I have a 2014 standard VFR800 and I need to outfit it with saddlebags, a trunk, and a back rest but I cannot…

  32. New 8th gen - $6,500!! 30 Nov 2016 00:53 21 hours ago, CornerCarver WOW....$2,100 for travel and hotel to pick up a bike? Were you taking an Uber or just buying a same day, full price airfare ticket? I didn't spend 1/4th of that to drive from TN to TX and pick…
  33. New 8th gen - $6,500!! 29 Nov 2016 00:49 I live in NY and I found a leftover 2014 8 Gen in WI for $6,700. The problem was I had to buy it in WI and the travel/hotel/transport costs put it over $8800. My local dealer matched the $8800 & I brought it home the…
  34. Going on a really long trip first time any tips 28 Nov 2016 23:00 It was because my 1997 VFR wiring harness failed that my lovely wife took pity on me and gave the green light to buy the 2014 VFR800. Some friends and I planned a week long trip to Tail of the Dragon when the old girl…

  36. Stolen VFR RECOVERED in NORCAL!!! 26 Oct 2016 23:40 I had a 1987 Ninja ZX750 recovered after it was stolen in NYC. It was great news. I repainted the bike and if was promptly stolen a few months later. I wasn't so lucky again. Although my next bike was a 1986 VF700F.…
  37. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 1 Oct 2016 22:59 This MOSFET device looks like it requires major rearranging of seats, systems, maybe even adding a tail rack just to install it. Not my idea of a day well spent in the garage.
  38. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 1 Oct 2016 00:22 I bought an R/R from RMStator. Meter reads 14.2 volts @ 5k rpm. Sweet.
  39. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 27 Sep 2016 18:57 16 hours ago, thtanner thtanner, 9/25/2016 at 5:11 PM MOSFET based unit is a must now days. This is a nice kit: http://roadstercycle.com/ This web site confuses me even more. I'm looking for plug-in play.
  40. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 26 Sep 2016 22:13 2016 at 4:56 PM, bobbyn, September 25 Any R/R suggestions?
  41. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 25 Sep 2016 20:56 7 hours ago, mello dude Park the bike immediately. Voltage is way too high. You need an R/R minimum, but I would check the stator AC voltage on each leg too. (A to B, B to C, and C to A) BTW - 16 volts is too high too.…
  42. Vfrness And Stator Opinions Please 25 Sep 2016 13:11 I installed the VFRness yesterday on my 1997 VFR and when finished, I was getting charging output readings between 18.5 - 19.0 v (@ 5000 rpm, w/ highbeam on). The bike already has a Ricks stator installed but I'm not…
  43. Tail section tab repair video 23 Jul 2016 02:02 The ever failing tail section on my 4th gen was repaired by one of the best. Here is a link to his video. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/V40_lcqqlmI?feature=oembed]
  44. Replace Stator And Flywheel - How To With Pics 30 Jan 2016 21:56 After going through many batteries (including a borrowed Li battery, $$$ ouch), and a few regular rectifiers, I've come to the conclusion that stator might be bad. A buddy who is a wiz on electrics confirmed this today,…
  45. Looking For Left Front Turn Signal Lens/unit. 6 Sep 2015 21:28 A tip over cracked the lens mounting tab. I'm looking for a complete assembly. Any idea? I already searched eBay & Craigslist. Bobby Nevola Nyack, NY
  46. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 28 Jul 2015 16:01 There's a brand new 2014 VFR for $8999 in Colorado: http://www.ebay.com/...sd=391209408801
  47. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 28 Jul 2015 15:44 On top of that the VFR pricing doesn't help. I think the 8th gen is likely a fantastic machine and would fit my needs and wants perfectly but unfortunately, it isn't much different than my 2002 Agree completely. I was…
  48. A Quick Thanks. 14 Jul 2015 01:56 Just a quick thanks to the boys & girls on this forum. It just saved me more $$$ by showing me how to use H4 bulbs on my Viffer.
