  1. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 27 Jul 2013 16:12 I had my valve check done at 20K. I know some folks here have strong opinions on the need for one inside of 100K, but that's a different thread. My problem here is he used K&N oil filter when he put it back together.…
  2. Usb Power! 29 Apr 2013 23:28 Nope. The lightning cable for the iPhone 5 is 2.1 amp and older auto/ USB adapters that operate at 1 amp won't light the charging indicator. Looking at my original iPhone 5 charger "cube", and the tiny little gray…

  4. New Rider Tips 15 Oct 2012 23:16 I was reading SNOOPY's thread titled "New Rider" and the topic around seat height made me think about some of the mistakes I made when I first started riding not too long ago. Majority of my mistakes were made with zero…
  5. thoughts on your 6th gen R/W/B with ABS.... 9 Oct 2012 19:02 I have the ABS and needed it 3 weeks ago. I was going south bound on the 110, just barely entered the carpool lane near USC when a guy cut in front of the Toyota Corolla ahead of me. The Toyota overreacted with the…
  6. My vfr has fallen cant get up 27 Sep 2012 22:20 Let's understand this correctly - someone at your work knocked your bike over with a silver car, and then just took off?! Are there security cameras? If you can find this person, get him/her to pay for the damages -…

  8. Added brake lights to my Givi top case 14 Jul 2012 18:45 Looks great. Can you please post pics of where you installed the lights? like from inside the bag? did you have to drill holes? Any waterproofing considerations? I'm assuming the materials were found online? Perhaps…
  9. A trying weekend to say the least 14 May 2012 20:48 Battery issue is easy enough to fix. My mobile "paintless" dent removal guy has full paint matching, waterbased, eco-friendly paint trailer. He painted my top case for $100. As for your marriage, I highly recommend A…
  10. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 27 Apr 2012 19:05 Keeping your rpm below the VTEC range greatly improves mpg.
  11. Buddy Dropped My Brand New OEM Side Case... 2 Apr 2012 21:53 I bought a used red top case, and had my paintless dent remover guy repaint it to match my bike for $100. The match was perfect, and he used environmentally friendly water based paint.
  12. Powder Coating rims. Unreasonable $. 23 Mar 2012 20:35 I took the wheels off, removed the rotors, but didn't have to take the tires off or press out the bearings. $300 (tax included) to "un-bork" both front and back wheels, and powder coat them at the LA shop of these guys:…
  13. Sport riding while staying seated 13 Mar 2012 00:39 Check the rear tire tread wear pattern. If you're using the tread all the way over to the edge, you may want to lean off the seat to allow the bike to stand up a bit and allow more tire contact with the pavement.

  16. "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight 22 Dec 2011 21:41 After reading Mikeonbike's heart wrenching story, I'm leaning toward doing something to make myself more visible. If not HIDs, then maybe some fog lights? I've also been reading about the BMW K1600GTL adaptive…

  18. Borked wheel woes 16 Nov 2011 00:47 Just spoke to the guy from the link above, and he says he heats it up with a torch, then bends it back with a hydraulic press. Finally, he'll fix the cosmetic blemish with paint. He's quoting me $150 per wheel. Does…
  19. Borked wheel woes 16 Nov 2011 00:12 I bought my '08 VFR in April, and it came with a slightly borked rear wheel. This summer I took a turn too wide, ended up on the shoulder and laid her down. In the process I borked the front wheel too. Now that I have…

  23. Arg!! Lost my keys! 7 Jul 2011 15:46 Last time I rode was 4th of July. I got home, used the keys to access the hard bags, so I know I didn't leave them in the ignition. Checked the pockets to my jeans and jacket, no luck. :mad: I ran out of time to look…
  24. Anyone with a MRA SpoilerScreen Windshield? 14 Jun 2011 17:09 FWIW, i was ordering Genmar risers from Twisted Throttle, yesterday. While I was in there, I threw in the Givi touring screen. I have a problem with spontaneous purchasing. I bought my 2004 VFR last week on a whim.…
