  3. Fixed Cosmetic Damage After A Hit And Run. Update 11/14 8 Nov 2015 23:00 I came out all geared up for a long ride with the wife to find the bike like this: [image: JCFx73Z.jpg] The only thing that really made it bad was the broken peg assembly [image: Vx8tNbf.jpg] As far as minor damage-…
  4. 2015 Retro Fit Cooling System 4 Nov 2015 06:22 Do you know where I can find a diy?
  5. 2015 Retro Fit Cooling System 3 Nov 2015 23:56 I've noticed on places like bikebandit they are showing full availability for parts on the 2015 cooling system. Has anybody tried to go front mount radiator yet? It seems pricey but I've always wanted a standard vfr and…
  6. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 14 Oct 2015 01:39 I'm 6'3" so I'm a bit cramped as it is. I used to be worried about cornering clearance but after some form change and suspension change its not as much of an issue now. -Drew
  7. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 13 Oct 2015 22:14 signal 10 hours of riding in a day is probably too much for my own tastes. What sort of setup do you have on the bike to help with comfort? Risers? throttlemeister? Yeah it was not exactly pleasant haha I have…
  8. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 13 Oct 2015 18:37 Lannyl81 Very similar to the ride that I have been planning; but I am out of Tucson. I will be taking AZ 77 from Tucson to Globe...well okay to about 3 miles East of Globe. Then go into Globe on 60 and then drop down AZ…
  9. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 12 Oct 2015 22:38 Polarbear That's exactly what came to mind when i read it too!! Alternatives to what exactly???? Hahahah. That would sure make the trip interesting. ....... And then the "getting home" part too. But i like to travel…
  10. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 11 Oct 2015 03:24 Cogswell Looks like fun. Just curious - am I seeing it right that the exhaust is straight out of the cat? Any issues with heat on your right foot? No issues at all with heat. You can see the whole tail section/exhaust…
  11. Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 11 Oct 2015 02:21 [image: miEr3lH.jpg] Day one is about four hours out of Phoenix and up 60. Its mostly fast sweepers with one epic beautiful canyon loaded with swtchbacks! [image: 2ZzqkVm.png?1] Set up shop for the night! I got in early…

  13. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 21 Jan 2015 05:18 Its actually not- there is a baffle inside the muffler tip that keeps it reasonable. Its obviously louder than stock or 2bros bolt ons but its no louder than a any other large displacement bike with aftermarket pipes.…

  15. Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech 14 Apr 2014 20:10 Yes and no. The capacitor can charge/discharge quickly but it really is a band-aid for a charging problem. It does not create any energy, it just makes the alt charge it between hits. In most scenarios there is no need…
  16. Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech 14 Apr 2014 01:03 Lucky for you there are respectable people out there that don't ever play at red lights/neighborhoods/or at night. Most of its play time is during sanctioned competitions. -Drew
  17. Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech 13 Apr 2014 22:08 The optimas I just pulled out were 8 years old. They still started the car great but couldn't handle the load from the amps while driving. I attribute this to keeping them on the tender overnight for most of the last…

  19. Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech 13 Apr 2014 14:12 I have two chargers. A 1.5a charger in the garage that sits on the motorcycle throughout winter and occasionally is used to top off the wife's Jetta and a 1.5a charger under the hood of my car. The car has had up to six…
  20. How To Wheelie Vfr 800 20 Mar 2014 03:34 DannyMoto Dmitry DannyMoto Let me give you some tips... 1. Don't ever power-wheelie. The lack of control you have is the danger here. You may get it up, but it's a slow climb and it can be wobbly. 2. Clutch-up every…
  21. Sargent Vs Corbin: A 6Th Gen Aftermarket Seat Comparison 4 Nov 2013 15:16 I have a Corbin and ride with the OEM seat. >_> -Drew
  22. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 4 Nov 2013 15:08 Duc2V4 Well based on the video the wheel has a 5 hole bolt pattern, so no direct rear wheel swap . It did look like there is an adjuster for the rear shock on the left side above the chain guard, most likely pre-load. I…
  23. Clip Type Master Link Experience/feedback ? 2 Oct 2013 18:00 When my master link failed it caused several hundred dollars in damage to the case area around the front sprocket. Took several weeks to replace all the broken plates and bolts. Luckily this happened at 20mph and I did…
  24. Make Your Own O2 Sensor Eliminators 2 Oct 2013 01:01 I did this recently, love it. The biggest difference is improving the flat spot before hyperdive.
  25. Cornercarver Got Better Head Than Me. 29 Sep 2013 00:25 I don't understand. This looks like it came from a science fiction movie where aliens shoots slime that can eat through anything!!! -Drew
  26. Proto Pic Of Naked Vfr? 18 Sep 2013 23:29 With a smooth Vtech, lighter weight, and SSSA- I'd be all over this. -Drew

  28. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 14 Jul 2013 17:45 I didn't know that! I'll have to keep a close eye on it. The windshield is painted black (being 6'3" I don't ever look through it) so when the phone is displayed it rarely gets direct sunlight unless the sun is over my…
  29. Anyone Else Put A Stereo On Their Vfr 14 Jul 2013 06:47 Thank you! It didn't look bad considering it was a $20 removable paint job I did in my garage. http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded -Drew
  30. Anyone Else Put A Stereo On Their Vfr 14 Jul 2013 05:31 Decades ago I had CB650 that I shared with my dad and he put a fairing on it with a stereo system which at the time was pretty cool, but the technology we have today didn't exist back then i.e. iPods/iPhones, Bluetooth…
  31. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 14 Jul 2013 02:00 It's taken apart for maintenance in the pic. The one is only in there hand tight to hold it in place.
  32. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 13 Jul 2013 18:12 I'm surprised nobody commented on the missing bolt over here lol
  33. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 21:35 I would assume so? No I have not done a side by side with a dedicated gps unit. With all the modern tech in the service and in the phone itself I feel like any difference in the two would be slight at the most. If I get…
  34. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 14:25 I currently have it set up under my seat for use in the tank bag. This weekend I'll do some cutting and splicing to run power where it needs to be. Also, as far as vibration there is just a little bit of play when the…
  35. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 14:16 I've found that my car is pretty accurate (+/-1mph) compared to the gps which is nice. Also, running closed course I found the bike to be just shy of 10% off of gps certified speed. (shown 140 real 127 shown 149 real…
  36. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 13:43 Also, this app (Ulysse speedometer for android) can: -show current speed (mph or kph) -show GPS accuracy -show moving average speed -max speed hold -total average speed -elevation -0-60mph time -0-100mph time -quarter…

  38. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 13:17 One of the reasons I like using it is because it saves most information for reference later if needed. I can also set the phone to straight speed mode which looks more like this: [image: GOPR1683.jpg] -Drew
  39. Easy Mod To Use Your Smartphone As A Gps Hud 12 Jul 2013 13:06 After being frustrated with my speedo error and amazed at the amount of information available from a GPS "speedometer" app I have decided to use a standard "grab bag" (20$ at best buy) gopro kit to have an easy setup…
  40. Gps Mount / Device Mount On The Viffr 12 Jul 2013 06:47 I have a rigged set up using GoPro adhesive mounts so that I can install/remove my Galaxy S4 from just under my windshield. I've found that as long as I use the phone as the "brain" of the ride I can have everything…
  41. M4 on 2006 VFR800 21 Jun 2013 05:01 I'm in favor of taking a few inches off of the overall length of the carbons, at LEAST down to stock position. I couldn't even stand that and took another 4" off of the stock length for a real "short OEM" look. I'm…
  42. Plasti-Dip Testing With Pics 20 Jun 2013 08:33 Wow! can't believe I missed this thread! Because it is 4am and I am working nights, plus the fact that I like to plaster all my pictures and videos all over the internet as often as possible I'll share my Plastidip…
  43. Very Nice Complements From Unassuming Riders 13 Jun 2013 12:54 They didnt know there were any v4 motorcycles, They said that was awesome, half a v8. Next time tell them even HD build V4 motorcycles. Have them google the Harley Davidson VR1000 and HD Nova (water cooled V4 project…
  44. Gutted/no Exhaust Tune? 6Th Gen 6 May 2013 04:36 From what I understand the popping is the bike running lean which can be corrected by a power commander. I gutted mine and hard downshift just to hear it pop and purr.
  45. Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete 30 Mar 2013 20:38 I have an Android so I just pull up google maps, select my destination, hit Navigate and go! -Drew ..and as long as your in the "Navigate" mode the screen remains on. (android phones anyway) Downside to the google maps…

  47. Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete 30 Mar 2013 01:04 The reason I've always used the smartphone is the audio output. I ride long trips with my phone managing the music playlist or audiobook as well as my navigation at the same time. It will play music/book until I need…
  48. Wetter Water And The Like..... 8 Mar 2013 00:33 I replace my water wetter when i replace the radiator fluid(which isn't often) I run straight distilled water and water wetter in my system because here in Virginia i don't ride under 40 degrees and the garage sits…
  49. Chain Guard Removed... 27 Feb 2013 04:55 My first thought is that your swingarm pivots up and down so you don't want it attached to anything fixed like the rear passenger peg bracket. -Drew
  50. Modular Vs. Standard Helmets: Anyone Switch Back? 16 Feb 2013 17:21 I've never felt as comfortable or confident in a modular as I do every day in my solid helmet. I let the modular sit until the wife wants to ride and she throws it on. That one is easier to have smoke breaks in.
