- Help needed. Bent Brake lever near Franklin n NC Thanks all, mission accomplished. I was able to get a new lever at about 10am. As a bonus my riding buddy and I got to meet a fellow vfrd member (gig) and check out his super clean and tricked out 5th gen. I must say…
- Help needed. Bent Brake lever near Franklin n NC Thanks all! I was able to get back to Franklin safely and will be back at MR motorcycle this morning . They were able to overnight a lever for me that should be in by 10. I don’t think I’m going to try to straighten…
- Help needed. Bent Brake lever near Franklin n NC Hi all, long time follower here, seldom post. Does anyone near Franklin NC (or Asheville) have a spare front brake lever for a 5th generation? I’m happy to pay cash now or replace it later. Thanks in advance. I’m up In…
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider According to my better half, I spend lots time on this site and all too often want to duplicate all the cool ideas I see here. She calls it having 'tunnel vision on the motorcycle'. This effort is not much different -…
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider Thanks BR. Ok so I've decided that I will send the Penske off, and am going to tackle the forks with a buddy who has done several sets already. Here's where I landed, thanks to all for the advice Rear = Penske 8983…
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider If you are not double dog positive SURE of your abilities send your shock and forks off to Jamie. Most people try to increase the fork oil weight and that just makes the damping harsh. It all has to work together.…
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider Thanks all, based on the feedback here I am almost sold on the 1.0 font / 1200 lbs rear spring combo. At 225 no gear, it seems to be the setup most often quoted. Wera803, may I ask your weight?
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider Thanks all. So I ordered a PP3 / PR3 tire set a few minutes ago, I am set there. Now it is down to what to do up front and the spring in back.. Also spoke to Jamie for about 20 minutes about his thoughts. Sounds like…
- Suspension Setup 5Th Gen And 225Lb Rider First off, thanks for this great forum! For those that may recall really old postings from "redshed", I was on a "No VFR" diet, and shooting to get under 200#. Well... I'm still here, mostly lurking, and I have accepted…
- Lapping the Continent, Sort of... Booker82 - so sorry we didn't get to meet for dinner as you passed though (or I guess by) Florida (stupid storm) - You were to be the first Vfrd member I would have met in person! Glad to see your safe, and making great…
- Cad drawing needed Custom 1/2" overlay with engraving. Top secret, patent pending ;)
- Cad drawing needed Thx yoshi, I am actually playing with an "overlay" for the factory top triple clamp. I was hoping to cut down on trial and error by having a good base to start from. I've considered buying an eBay triple, but was hoping…
- Cad drawing needed Anyone know where I can source a cad drawing of the top triple tree for a 5th gen? I'd like to experiment with some 3-d plotting ;0)
- Who was looking for VFRness pictures? It was me. I've since solved, but thanks for remembering.
- Help! Sticking throttle @ full open Well, I can't explain why, but I did find the solve.. After much testing I determined that the cables, cable routing, and throttle body connections were all fine. As a last resort I took my old clip on, mounted the…
- Looking for prize donations, Tmac 2012 PM sent
- Help! Sticking throttle @ full open Ok - Here are the routing pics, I have not pulled the tank up to snap the other end, but is basically has the top cable with a jam nut on each side of the holder, and the bottom cable with one closest to the "cam" where…
- Big ear under helmet headphones Thanks ken! How long have you had them?

- Help! Sticking throttle @ full open I will post some pics, but looks just like yours with the exception that I have one jam nut on each side of the cable retainer on the "pull to open" top cable.
- Help! Sticking throttle @ full open My symptom is that my throttle sticks at 7/8 to wide open, otherwise operates normally. It started when I installed helibars and st1100 throttle cables. Cables are routed as the factory ones were, and there is no…
- Big ear under helmet headphones Northernvfrdave, Do you recall where you had them fitted? Would you use the shop again? I will be at T-Mac this year, perhaps I will check them out.
- Big ear under helmet headphones Does anyone have personal experience with these? A bit expensive, but perhaps worth the cost?
- Oh nuts.. I have too many different types of bolts! Canuck - Thanks for the tip, I missed the rear plug on the drawing. Looks like I will be in great shape now.
- Oh nuts.. I have too many different types of bolts! Suitcase, good call. They show cowl plugs that I don't have.
- Oh nuts.. I have too many different types of bolts! Ok, so using the gallery an some common sense, I figured out that my son had put some john deere bolts in the bag of motorcycle parts.. Ugh, back together again. My only remaining question is re the Frankenstein bolts…
- Oh nuts.. I have too many different types of bolts! So, i stripped off my rear tail assembly (left the lights and signals in it) as well as the left and right fairings and front air dam. Well, I "thought" I would remember where all the bolts go. I don't. Would someone…

- Helibars install with new cables - problem found No, I did not remove the bracket, was trying to lasso the wheel with the bracket attached. I will give it a try! Thanks.
- 2011 T-mac T-shirts! I wasn't there, but read all about it. If it helps, I'd buy an xl so you don't get stuck with them all!
- Helibars install with new cables - problem found Ok, so I received my new st1100 throttle cables today (17910-MT3-000 cable A and 17920-MT3-000 cable B). I spent about an hour and a half installing the helibars. The clutch side went without a hitch, however I am stuck…

- Post your Voltmeter mount pics Lookng good all. Keep them coming. So far I like the talus / skymon mount as the "least intrusive" to the factory plastic.. My only thought is, "how readable is it when riding?" I Like to keep my head up to prevent…
- Post your Voltmeter mount pics I am adding a voltage meter to my 5th gen. I just purchased the Lascar DMV-1200, and have seen several threads on mounting / wiring. I thought there might be other creative installers and fabricators out there, so i…
- Extended throttle cables for 5th gen I have stock bars on a 99 vfr800. Plan to swap over to helibars and would like to retain factory throttle cable routing. I have searched this forum and others, with mixed results on which year st1100 cables are the best…
- Couple of looks at my newly powdered wheels Very nice set of wheels.. Now about those lug nuts on the back.. If they were the same red as the bike, or a bright gold then at speed you would have a circle of color to accent those sharp wheels.. Just a thought...…
