  1. 25th RWB Graphics tweaks 11 Feb 2012 12:42 Where did you get the 25th anniverstiy stickers? I want to put one on my windshield
  2. Tank bag vs paint 5 Feb 2012 13:03 I started to get some minor scratches on my RWB tank as well as it was driving me crazy. So I went this route--a little pricey-but I love it. I used it on a 2000 mile trip this summer and it was awesome. I only wish…
  3. 6'6" and i was looking at 6th gen but will 5th gen be roomier? 4 Jan 2012 10:54 Well, all I can say is I'm 6'5", 36 inseam, 230#, size 15 boots and my 6th gen fits me fine. But then again I love the feel of my Hayabusa and RC51. I'm also 62 years old and love the feel of a sport bike. I'm sure…
  4. Lecthworth State Park NY - Day run 28 Sep 2011 12:42 Yea, I sometimes ride around the Letchworth area. Nice roads. I also like to ride further south and hook up with route 6 in PA (just over the NY/PA border). It's one of the GREAT east/west motorcycles roads in this area
  5. Powerlet socket size? 4 Sep 2011 15:43 I've been looking at the same steering head socket, and I thought it was the same as an auto cig lighter. It says it will charge phones, GPS etc. Am I wrong?

  7. First Trip To the BRP and the Dragon 4 Aug 2011 10:16 Awesome story and pics! I've ridden that area before and I understand the beauty of it all. I AM a dad and hope to take this trip with my son. We've talked about it--now we just need to make the time.
  8. Mirror extenders 5th gen and 6th gen gaging interest 2 Aug 2011 11:07 I'm sick of seeing my elbows! Is it too late to sign up for a pair for my '07? Thanks!

  13. New Tank Bag 29 Jul 2011 11:27 So far, I've only used the bag for a short 300 mile day trip, so my review is somewhat limited. It is larger than I thought it might be, but then I always carry too much stuff so I'll fill it up! It is very sturdy at…
  14. New Tank Bag 29 Jun 2011 01:00 I almost always use a tank bag as I like to have a spot to throw my junk. I've wanted to try one of the ones that attaches to a ring on the tank, so I just got this one from Givi (t480 easy lock). It keeps the bag off…

  16. Bent Rotor 22 May 2011 22:53 So I finally get a chance to take out my 2007 Interceptor (non-ABS) and I'm feeling some shaking in the front end. I bring it home and sure enough, the right front rotor is bent! The only thing I can think is I bent it…

  18. see my rack 5 Mar 2011 11:37 I've got the same rack on both my VFR and "Busa--I love it. When not using the large luggage, I use the posrt rack. Great for a small tail bag.
  19. Looking forward to riding season! 22 Feb 2011 13:39 Looking forward to the riding season here too. It's only 13 degrees here this morning--where is the sun? I spent the winter getting the bike ready to go--now if only mother nature would cooperate! I'm looking forward to…
  20. LED Mirrors 21 Feb 2011 11:55 Well, thanks for the replies guys. I'd like to get a set of mirrors with the blinkers in them, but I don't want something that will wind up being crap! If anyone out there has any good suggestions, I'll keep looking. I…
  21. LED Mirrors 20 Feb 2011 16:54 I'm interested in getting some LED mirrors for my 2007. I was wondering if anyone has these and what they think. If not--what are you using? Thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/...sQ5fAccessories Attached Images [image:…
  22. 'OTHER' motorcycles? 28 Dec 2010 09:57 So last year a local dealer was running a special---buy one scooter and get the second one free! Too good to be true huh? Well, I had to go check it out. Scooters were 50cc made in China, but as I discovered, using…
  23. Your Favorite place / Where would you like to go? 28 Dec 2010 09:29 Well, I live in the Finger Lakes area of New York State-so I know it's nice country with lots of different wine tours. But for me--it's off to the Tail of the Dragon, N. GA, and the roads and mountains in that area. I…

  26. Throttlemeister Install 2 Dec 2010 21:32 Thanks for the info. :fing02: I'll work on getting the O-ring piece pushed further into the bar. I've installed the TM on my 'busa, but on that install I didn't need to replace the bar weight on the throttle side like…
  27. Throttlemeister Install 2 Dec 2010 09:07 Sorry for the blurry picture. But yes--what I'm referring to the the part with the O rimgs that slides inside of the throttle side bar. So if I'm understanding--that part needs to slide inside the bar almost flush with…
  28. Throttlemeister Install 1 Dec 2010 22:43 I'm installing my new throttlemeister on my 2007 machine. My question is about the throttle side. How far should the replacement weight be pushed inside of the bar? I can't seem to find any details in the instructions…
  29. I'm now the owner of a second motorcycle 28 Nov 2010 12:41 OH MAN---great story and YES a great bike. If I'm not mistaken, there is a bike just like that sitting in my brother-in-laws barn. I think it's a 1966-red in color. My brother-in-law just passed away. I should ask my…

  32. Throttlemeister 21 Nov 2010 11:39 I'm looking to add throttlemeister to my 2007. Any suggestions on the best (cheapest) place to buy them? It almost seems that every place is the same price. Thanks!
  33. How do you remove the stupid fairing clips? 20 Nov 2010 00:42 Yes--I agree the clips are a pain :pissed: but--not nearly as bad as the clips on my Hayabusa!!
  34. Deer Whistles 7 Nov 2010 18:33 All I know is in a battle between a deer and a cycle the deer will most likely win. I don't like those odds!! Consequently, I do very little night riding around here!
  35. Deer Whistles 7 Nov 2010 11:42 The deer are so bad here in Western New York, that you can lay on your horn, and they just flip you off!! :pissed: LOL In my son's police force, they tried them and had just as many police/deer hits as before. I think…
  36. CB1000R coming to the states! 7 Nov 2010 11:28 Personally I love inline 4's (the VFR is the first non-I4 I've owned). But I just don't like the look. Headlight and mirrors all remind me a the B-King. And we all know how well that bike sold!!! LOL

  39. 4th Annual Fall Ride In The Catskills Oct 1-3, 2010 3 Aug 2010 10:56 So--here's my question. I'm a "newbie" to the VFR world, and I'm wondering if we're invited to the ride as well? I've been on some rides with my 'busa brothers, but as I said, I'm new here. Is that OK?
  40. Motorcycle Training worthless 10 Jul 2010 11:06 I am also a MSF instructor and as you would guess, an advocate for training. Having said that, I just wanted to point out there are a variety of levels of training.. offered by MSF. The BRC--is a BASIC riding couse.…

  44. ANYONE INSTALL ONE? 23 Apr 2010 01:42 I installed the other brand Acumen in my instrument panel. But they both work the same way. I think the Gipro is a little smaller than the Acumen but the Acumen had a lot of differant colors and had model specific wire…
  45. ANYONE INSTALL ONE? 21 Apr 2010 15:42 Call me lazy--but I'm use to the gear indicator on my Hayabusa. I was wondering if anyone ever install one of these GiPro Gear Indicators on their VFR? If so, does it work as well as stated? Thanks…

  49. Want to start doing my own changes. 20 Apr 2010 02:17 I've got the same set up: HF changer, mojo blocks, no-mar bar. I also invested in the HF tire balancer. Very easy to use and works GREAT! I also bought some of the sick-on wheel weights at HF--they come in both silver…
