  1. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 27 Dec 2013 18:04 Straight pedal installed - from eBay. Did it while lying under the bike. Noticeable improvement in pedal feel. I stuck the other pedal in the spare parts cabinet if needed down the road
  2. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 6 Dec 2013 01:47 My question now is can I remove the old one and install the straight one w/o having to pull the whole foot peg bracket off? Trying to get at those springs with it on the bike looks a little tight.
  3. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 6 Dec 2013 01:04 Here's a pic of the unbent one I just grabbed on fleabay. Got the whole assembly for $45 shipped. [image: $T2eC16d,%21zUFIcUg+BY9BSYb0-78SQ~~60_57] Isn't having computers great for stuff like this?
  4. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 5 Dec 2013 21:19 On the shaft that the brake pedal rotates on, there should be a "C" clip that sits in a groove on the end of the shaft. Make sure that is still there. When the bike falls on the brake pedal, that "C" clip loves to pop…
  5. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 5 Dec 2013 15:52 The mirror has a mark on it. PO claimed he bumped his garage wall with it. The fairing, frame, radiator, engine cases and bar ends are all in top shape. If it did go over, a considerable expense was dished out to…
  6. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 5 Dec 2013 15:36 Yep. Don't worry though, it bends pretty easy. You should be able to bend it back. Won't it weaken or snap? It looks like cast aluminum.
  7. Post your Voltmeter mount pics 5 Dec 2013 15:34 My Clearwater Voltage Sentry. I know some consider it an idiot light but I can interpret it at a second's glance. [image: DSC00344web_zps248034f9.jpg]
  8. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 5 Dec 2013 14:35 I have no other VFR800 as a reference but it appears as though there is a bend in the pedal. Could someone verify? Thanks [image: DSC00337web_zps4e356fe6.jpg]
  9. Volt Meter And Dash Light Install 30 Oct 2013 01:44 MJay The pic of your LCD with the blue LED's installed appears washed out. Is it just the camera or are the LED's so bright that it's hard to read the display? Also, do you notice any hot spots with the bulbs you…
  10. Volt Meter And Dash Light Install 29 Oct 2013 17:00 Looks nice! Did you get the 32 or the 90 degree beam angle bulbs? I'm guessing you got the 90's. I found I could not check out unless I choose one of those options.
  11. 4th Gen VFRNess Install help 13 Jan 2012 21:37 slowbird Understood! Thanks for the info. Why would need to replace the 30A fuse with the 20A? I don't recall seeing that in the instructions. It was in my instructions and Tightwad (the creator of the VFRness)…
  12. 4th Gen VFRNess Install help 12 Jan 2012 15:11 I just did this. "B" takes the place of the connector from your stator to your R/R - it's on the throttle side of the bike behind the fairing not very far from the oil fill spot. Just follow your old R/R harness and it…
  13. Recommended Replacement Grips? 27 Oct 2009 16:01 [image: View Post]elizilla said: Just spray some cheap hairspray in them and slide them on. Works great for me, and I do ride in all weather. 10-4, Katherine.
  14. Recommended Replacement Grips? 27 Oct 2009 12:55 I have another question - Is is necessary to wire-on replacement grips or will just glueing them suffice?
  15. Recommended Replacement Grips? 26 Oct 2009 01:14 First post - hello. I recently bought a beautiful '97 VFR from an individual that took wonderful care of it. Thank you, Dave! Link to bike pic I'd like to upgrade the stock grips to try to calm down the slight buzz I…
