  1. Joint Relief 25 Nov 2016 00:21 Bent, 11/22/2016 at 7:10 AM Both work well. If more people knew about it, they'd be using it. The warm will come back to "visit" you after you get active again later on after applying it. I just switch back and forth…
  2. Joint Relief 21 Nov 2016 03:18 Bent, if you see this: which Sombra do you recommend- the warm or the cool? Thanks!
  3. Help Indentifying Frame Sliders 7 Sep 2015 15:39 Fultobt, in your pictures the sliders don't seem to extend out beyond the fairing. Is that just the camera angle, or are these sliders meant just to protect the mechanicals and to hell with the plastic?
  4. Help Indentifying Frame Sliders 6 Sep 2015 15:48 The site has them available for '02 and '03, and a different set for '04 and '05. Apparently nothing for '06 and up. I didn't know there were any differences in Gen 6 frames :huh:
  5. Had A Flat, And A "well, Duh!" Moment. 29 Aug 2015 17:13 am i the only one who rides on a flat????!!! seriously. 0 psi, bombed down I95 with the flow of traffic.. yes, the gas mileage was bad. but i got home with no problem. If anyone else has done this, I'd like to hear…
  6. Had A Flat, And A "well, Duh!" Moment. 28 Aug 2015 15:23 OK guys, I'm well and truly chastised- no more Simple Green and wire brush. Hopefully no long term damage was done. I spent a couple hours yesterday Googling chain cleaning. There's no consensus as to proper method. I…
  7. Had A Flat, And A "well, Duh!" Moment. 27 Aug 2015 17:47 Sunday afternoon I had a rear flat about 40 miles from home. I had to leave my bike on the side of the highway overnight, and that's not a fun thing. Got a Uhaul trailer the next day and got her home. Anyway, the duh…
  8. Vtech Buzzing Vibration 20 Jul 2015 23:59 Mine neither. Hope you get it figured out.
  9. Happen To Have A Mirror Removed Off Your 6Th Gen At The Moment? 7 Jun 2015 14:23 I'll bet I'm not the only one wondering why you want those measurements. What kind of project you got going there? Yeah, I'm a nosy bastard :biggrin:
  10. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 9 Apr 2015 04:51 [image: 3r.jpg]Artsy fartsy :smile2:
  11. Change Oil Before, Or After Winter? 29 Sep 2014 02:45 I like you guys's logic- I'm changing it pre-winter. Thanks :tour:
  12. Change Oil Before, Or After Winter? 29 Sep 2014 02:20 I can't decide whether I want to change my oil before winter, or wait until spring. Which is your preference?
  13. God, I Hate Putting The Fairings Back On 11 Sep 2014 16:38 I just got done replacing my stator, and am in the process of putting the farings back on. Am I the only one who ends up with boltless holes, where the things just won't align themselves? I had to take a break, because…
  14. Cool Tip: Replacing Tail Light Bulb... With Turn Signal Bulb :) 26 Jul 2013 17:01 HumalogAddict Hello to all. I have no idea if this is common knowledge or not but thought I would share with the masses as it is sure to help at least one person out. Fun fact: on 6th gens (maybe someone from the other…
  15. VFR dash disappointing... 14 Sep 2012 13:50 [image: View Post]richbike, on 14 September 2012 - 06:38 AM, said: [image: Attachment] 20120914_123411.jpgI stuck one on. About 5 quid off fleabay I did, too- but they should be stock.
  16. VFR dash disappointing... 14 Sep 2012 10:16 The worst thing about the dash is that it doesn't include a volt meter, considering electrical problems are the only problems these bikes have (more or less).
  17. My Adventure or Don't trust Your GPS 11 Sep 2012 15:56 Saturday afternoon I'm going up I-29 between St Joe, Mo and Nebraska Hwy2 (my intended exit) and the GPS tells me to take the exit for Langdon, a town i've never noticed. I couldn't think how taking that exit would…
  18. SORE wrists after 1st Touring 1000 mile camping trip! 28 Jun 2012 03:29 You didn't mention your gloves. I find with nice gloves I don't have to grip the bars as tight. Also, Grip Puppies can help cut down vibes a little, lessening fatigue.
  19. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 21 May 2012 15:17 Here's good one- I decided to check and adjust my chain after reading this thread. Got out the Honda tools, loosened the pinch bolt, put the extention on the adjuster wrench, and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't…
  20. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 21 May 2012 14:16 myke_w The owners manual says to check it on the side stand, go figure. What page does it say that? :huh:
  21. Oil and filter advice 22 Apr 2012 15:42 [image: View Post]Monk, on 21 April 2012 - 10:54 PM, said: So...... What's the popular opinion on which is more important to change, Oil or filter? I could have sworn I read somewhere that filters used a second time…
  22. Oil and filter advice 21 Apr 2012 21:37 [image: View Post]hondalover, on 21 April 2012 - 03:53 PM, said: If I were to follow Honda's recommendations, I would have checked my valves twice by now. But instead I just choose to use my sick sense of humor (not my…
  23. Initial Impressions: 2007 VFR800 21 Apr 2012 12:16 You mention instruments. Knowing as they did that most of the biggest problems these bikes face is electrical in nature, why in hell isn't there a volt meter? Or at least some kind of idiot light.
  24. Oil and filter advice 21 Apr 2012 12:01 [image: View Post]hondalover, on 20 April 2012 - 10:18 AM, said: I usually just use the used oil that I drained out of my diesel truck on it's last oil change. But it has the slight smell of diesel fuel to it, so I…

  26. Confrontation with Harley guy. 20 Aug 2011 23:35 [image: View Post]PACIFICMAN, on 20 August 2011 - 04:21 PM, said: I think that would be defined as an "encounter" rather than a "confrontation".... Okay.
  27. Confrontation with Harley guy. 20 Aug 2011 21:09 Well, actually he was cool. As I was putting on my helmet at Wal-Mart an older guy on a Harley dresser pulled up. He asked me if parking there (against the building, by the door) was okay. As he was walking towards the…
