All 31- 7Th Gen - Direct Wire To Battery Question/problem Along with the meter you'll need a plan of attack. As you've described it, your 12V outlet is direct wired to the battery. When you connect the Gerbings harness, that outlet doesn't work. And by doesn't work, I assume…
- OEM topcase rack install question OK, I tried restacking, starting from side rack mounting plate: old grab handle rubber bumper, long spacer, new OEM rack, bolts w/ captive washers, rubber bold covers. Hmmm... just looked at NorthernVFRDave's post again…
- OEM topcase rack install question Well, that gets me started. The flap is just starting to get pinched, but hasn't ripped. But now that I see it, I think the rubber bumpers will fit and will look more finished. But not now. The rack is rock solid (as…
- OEM topcase rack install question I'm trying to do the same thing, did some searches but still not quite clear how this should go. Cogswell's pics show exactly my situation, so I decided to wake up this old thread. The top rack instructions do not show…

- Initial Impressions: 2007 VFR800 Welcome, my last bike was also a K1200S (2005). My first impressions were similar, and the Intercepter has grown on me over the last few years. I would definitely add a Power Commander or equivalent, smooths out that…
- ADV Monster voltmeter question Could someone tell me if I've got this right: Bought an ADVMonster digital voltmeter: http://stores.intuit...eter/Detail.bok I bought it after I followed a link from a forum topic quite a while ago, but can't find it…
- Dragracing the VFR1200F Have you derestricted 1st and 2nd gear? Would have been sweeter if you left the saddlebags on.
- Clear Clutch Window SEBSPEED TheBigCheese It just dawned on me that you'll probably be changing your oil more frequently. Can you get in there to clean the glass? Why would he change his oil more now than before? The silver ring you see in…

- Another discussion about wrist pains If your hand tingles or goes numb, you might consider your off-bike ergonomics. There's a lot of similarities between wrist position on your throttle grip and mousing (if you're right handed).
- New Tank Bag [image: View Post]sarge, on 29 July 2011 - 05:05 PM, said: Have any users of this bag moved the mount to the rear? It is adjustable. Moving the mount to the rearmost position will move the bag forward. Thanks, I just…
- New Tank Bag Now that I've had a T480 a while: Pros - It has the right volume for me, fits all my kit for everyday riding (commute) without expanding it: Gore tex, first aid, Honda tools, repair kit, bungees, toll pass,…
- GoPro I'm impressed with the encoding, I may have to pick up a GoPro soon. I played with my Sony HD cam on the bike a few years ago. It was all pre-VFR (and pre-decent-GoPro) but should apply. Up front the summary is: hard…

- *** tippy toe rider**** [image: View Post]DDO-VFR, on 17 April 2011 - 09:18 AM, said: Is is just me or did this topic get an inordinate amount of 'views' and 'replies'? I can't remember there being that much interest in VF1000R's before.…
- Pics of South Wales HQ/Police Bike Oh man - could you imagine a job where they let you ride that bike and then pay you for doing it??? Wow.

- heated gear ...and all I can say is WOW what on earth have I been doing these past 20 years! I bought my heated gear about 4 years ago and the first time I used it I immediately had the same thought. It's amazing that, after so…

- Winter.......... [image: View Post]timmythecop, on 19 December 2010 - 07:55 AM, said: does this mean there will be a Elfstedentocht? Snow makes it less likely, insulates the ice. I once stayed at a Holiday Inn in Maastricht - on Queen's…
- Mom's Mabley Here in New England, it's not just at lights - cagers will squeeze past on the right when you're waiting to make a left turn onto a side street. If they misjudge passing an MC the first thing they will hit is meat, not…
- High tech battery, Mechanical geek, Electrical dumbass. Very interesting. I stopped using cheap batteries after one dead shorted just as I was pulling onto a busy street. So $160 doesn't seem too bad if I never have to replace it. I'm the one who will die first, who gives a…
- Quoting entire posts in your replies gpd211 maybe a reply button that doesn't automatically quote the post your replying to would help How about a "TextQuote" button next to the "MultiQuote"? Even that can get out of hand, with quotes of quotes of quotes,…
- Three bikes down Proper warning of upcoming hazards is good for all, not just motorcycles. But the length of time that the hazards persist could and should be reduced. How long was that condition allowed to exist to get three…
- 6th Gen Gold rims You kids! Old guys invented cool. 1974 John Player Special Lotus Formula 1, and Lotus factory paint jobs since then, and a million aftermarket paint jobs. Google Image search for "John Player Special" [image: Posted…
- Look Ma, No Hands Keith Code would be shocked.
- Has this ever happened to you... Are you still riding on the stock seat? Could the heartbreak of monkey butt be a contributing factor? Under Armor boxer jocks, plus a custom seat to prevent that slide to the tank might help. Proper riding position(s)…
