Last 50 of 103- Picture Thread 4 hours ago, Grum Only looks upside down coz I live down under!! However it's definitely the right way up. :wacko: Cheers :beer: Quick and dirty photochop to see what it would look like when mounted the way people…
- Black Ops: Cam's 8Th Gen Mods 1 hour ago, Auspanglish Dude if you could paint or powder-coat the chassis, forks, and footrest assemblies in matte black, it would truly be stealth under the radar stuff!! I've thought about it;- a Darkhorse VFR (to…
- Black Ops: Cam's 8Th Gen Mods One of these things, is not like the others... [image: 21YoDyj.jpg] If you guessed that one of those 5 tractors needs a good cut & polish, you're correct. Aaaand there's a VFR in there too. :-)
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Had my bike out in the hot sun the other day (32-35 degC), and it started leaking petrol. The tank was about 20-25% full (so lots of air volume), and the bike was in full direct sunlight at about 11:30am, and had been…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems I get a little bit of suction noise when opening my petrol filler cap, but not so much that I've ever struggled to open it. How much is normal; a little or none?
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Production Run #3 is sold out. Although my powder-coating & welding contact has retired, I may do one more run but it will require a larger waiting list, and the tidies will cost more (due to the commercial rather than…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 45 minutes ago, GatorGreg Very interesting - thanks for sharing that data. If my math is correct, 45.1% of the tidies went to the USA. I wonder if that roughly corresponds to overall sales of the 8th gen as well? Do you…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Just 3 8th-Gen tidies left. Get yours now, or be stuck forever using the sad-face emoji!
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 57 minutes ago, SithLord I might have missed it earlier, but can I ask why you're stopping making them? My "day" job is in infrastructure software deployment & project management, and is taking up more and more of my…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 1 hour ago, SithLord Bloody hell! It would cost you more than that to ship to me in Canberra, wouldn't it? Hopefuly you've still got some left when/if I pull the trigger on a VFR soon. Domestic Parcel-Post to anywhere…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 3 hours ago, Tews19 You have 9 left? How much shipped to 53119 in Wisconsin, that is 1.? The current production run units are AUD $75 each for forum members, and shipping to the US & Canada is AUD $15.85. There are now…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Some boring statistics... it was a slow Monday. There are still 9 tail-tidies available from the final ever production run. Across all three runs, here is the breakdown of units sent by country. USA: 37 Australia: 18…
- Black Ops: Cam's 8Th Gen Mods Quick trip down Memory Lane, with my old 5th-Gen VFR. 2005, and a tour of Tasmania with my best mate and his missus. Some of the best riding roads I've ever experienced. [image: CAyJ24m.jpg] [image: eHxcQBm.jpg] [image:…
- 2017 VFR800F worth paying AUD $14,800 ? ( Australia) Mine was bought in Victoria back in 2015, for $14k even. Naturally stamp-duty will vary from state to state.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Skids, 03/07/2017 at 10:33 PM I wonder if they'd fit the 800X? The back end looks the same. Possible. If you're able to take some pictures of the 800X's fender from all angles, and measure the inside-width of the…
- Picture Thread Greg, what camera (?) are you mounting above your left wing-mirror stalk? Cheers - C.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 10 minutes ago, GatorGreg I finally got mine today - woohoo! However, my heart sank when I realized the package had been damaged in transit! It was placed in this bag by the US Postal service apologizing for the damage…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy As of today (June 20), there are 14 tail tidies from Production Run #3 still up for grabs. If you want to snap one up for AUD $75 plus postage, let me know via email ASAP (nz.cam@hotmail.com). Meanwhile, check out…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 1 hour ago, nomoresumo Installation was straight forward and supplied instructions were a nice touch. I used a Dremel (in lieu of heat) to carve out space for a small wrench to grip the metal nut used to secure the…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Shwat, 11/06/2017 at 5:41 AM Mine arrived this morning. Looks great, thanks! :) Let me know as these goodies progressively arrive, folks. I'm always thrilled to see photos of bikes with them fitted! Cheers - Cam
- Man I really am loving this bike I think the best review still has to be this one! [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/mGOJlHnIhDw?feature=oembed]
- Argh Judging by the amount of damage you described (and based off repair & parts costs in Aus), surely the bike would be an economic write-off by your insurance company? Do you have market-value or replacement insurance? If…
- Quickshifter a bit vunerable 2 hours ago, Superballs Possible it was on a hill in neutral when he left it on the stand and it rolled. Which is why I always recommend parking "nose-up." 1) Gravity keeps the side-stand in the locked position, and 2)…
- Incognito 7 hours ago, rckrzy1 I just thought it was funny. I bought those BMW logos for my CTX1300 because no one knew what brand of bike it was. It was going to Colorado until I wrecked it. Now I'll have way more fun when I get…

- App-based Rider-Pillion Comms Suggestions in 2017? I'm interested to hear people's recent experiences and recommendations for a app/smartphone-based comms option. I'm specifically interested in an affordable option that allows my girl and I to connect our smartphones…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Some good news - The parts have been picked up from the laser-cutters, and Saturday I did all the edge-filing, riveting, and tolerance testing. The assembled tidies are now with my contact who does the spot-welds and…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy shakami, 05/05/2017 at 11:08 PM I would like to buy one too. Is there still a chance to order these? @NZCam There's been a rush of people keen to snap up a tail-tidy from Production Run #3. I've ordered extra, but if…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 6 hours ago, Katastrophe18 Is this still a thing? How close are we to production? EDIT: Basically, I'm saying I'll buy one if they're available... :) Yes, Production Run 3 is happening now. Estimating 6 weeks until…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 9 hours ago, Shwat Hi guys. Am I too late to jump on the tail tidy bandwagon? :) Send me a private message with your email address, and I'll add you to the waiting list. It's getting close to the minimum viable order…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 3 hours ago, VFR Capt.Bob Great stuff here. Looks great. I have one question. My present bike has a tidy tail modification. When I ride it in the rain which I am not averse to doing, it sprays my lower back and causes…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy bighawk, 18/02/2017 at 9:21 AM How much shipped to Los Angeles? According to the AustraliaPost website, the current shipping cost to the US & Canada is AUD $15.85, so still the same as last year - but from past…

- Picture Thread Looks fantastic, I love what you've done with the high-rise pipe. The Tail-Tidy was definitely a smart choice in that situation, really lets you show the beautiful back wheel of as a key feature. 22 hours ago, SlfAwre…
- Range of the 8th Gen I'm one of those annoying types that records every refuel and crunches the stats, but in my defense, it makes tax-time a breeze, and helps identify potential mechanical problems affecting mileage early on. I'm also one…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 2 hours ago, fatshoutybloke Hi Cam, just so you know I'm not talking bollox and for your future deliveries to UK... Might I suggest you delete the attachment for confidentiality reasons? ;-) All good, I never doubted…

- Picture Thread Janne, 05/06/2016 at 9:45 AM [image: 27187979310_747276a059_h.jpg] Looks stunning, Janne! I haven't seen the arrow pipe in the black, but this really looks the part. And I may be (am) a little biased when I say this,…

- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 3 hours ago, F6bguy Is it to late to get one of these? Not at all. Send me your email and delivery address details. I'm hoping to pick them up from the powdercoater's this weekend; they'll be immediately ready to send…

- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy fatshoutybloke Mine cost about £8 for delivery if I recall but you might also get £10-15 customs charges as Australia remains stubbornly outside the EU. Worth it though, pics on page 5 of this thread. I bought a new…

- Good Tail Bag For 8Th Gen. I was so happy with the Ventura racks and the same bag on my 5th & 6th Gen VFRs, so the choice to go with a new Ventura combo was a no-brainer. I've got the Euro-Rally bag and use it daily for commuting, but there's a…
- Screen For Gen 8 fatshoutybloke Just to be pedantic, Honda change the logo for each model and that's the 6th gen version. Cool screen though! Actually it's 5th-Gen. Seeing as you were being a pedant. :-p [image:…
- Screen For Gen 8 Grum Check out Powerbronze, www.powerbronze.com.au They have a great range of screens, they are manufactured in the UK but have an Aussie base as well. Clive the Aus director is a good bloke to have a chat with. Have…
- Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 I've completed 12 months and 12,000km on my 8th Gen after trading in the 6th. Definitely the way to go for me;- the 8th is lighter, more nimble, and much more capable when going hand-to-hand through peak-hour morning…
