Last 50 of 74- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? Throttlemeister helped but did not fully correct the problem. Messed around with it for another month and finally found the problem. I could kick myself it was so remedial. I had to soften the suspension. Particularly…
- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? [image: 20150213_055111_zpsdcd1cf7e.jpg] I had a move last year so I didnt have much time to get her out last year. Just got her out, dusted off and lagging maintenance and registration done on Tue this week. Oh and a…
- New Fairings/color Change For Vfr1200 I went the vinyl wrap route for color change. I did it myself the first time but if I ever would do it again I would do vinyl images here in stl. I'm thinking about a chrome wrap next. It's all reversible With wraps.
- Maintenance - Do I Need A Stand? I had the Honda center stand on for about 2 seconds before replacing with my own home brew paddock stand. The centerstand just wasn't wide enough to be stable when using a front stand.
- No 2015 Vfr 1200? Nice bike tin. I like the stealth look.Very sharp Thanks. Though maybe not my bike style specifically, but I think that Honda could have done something to make the bike look a bit more mainstream. Not with the overall…
- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? Thank you guys for all the replies and suggestions. I think I am going to do the throttle tamer and also the ECU reflash. Do you take your bike into a shop or just send in your ECU and just re-install yourself? And who…
- No 2015 Vfr 1200? Yea, I agree with a user somewhere above that the 1200 as we know it is done and gone and is already replaced by the Interceptor. After the initial offering flop due to the high price tag and no dealer allowing test…

- Ok, it's a whale! A Basketball Player cant beat a Baseball Player at his own sport and vise-versa. If a Litre bike is a Basketball Player and a full ST is a Baseball Player then I'd like to think of a VFR12 as a BASEketball player. That…
- Rear seat cowl. I got the Powerbronze seat cowl and took it a step further by getting it painted at a local body shop. To me, the cowl stands out better and looks nicer with the matching red paint, and I like the way it matches the…
- Fuel Range I haven't checked mileage but I have to fill it up a lot. Ignorance is bliss I guess. As long as I'm not out in the middle of the desert or something there is a gas station on every corner so its all good.
- Exhaust photos and comments. I emailed Comp Werkes over a week ago with the same questions and havent heard squat. Maybe their exhaust is so loud that they cant hear your email notification beep. JK. The exhaust looks really really good as does the…
- Going back to my ghetto center stand Though I havent tried it, I think I would like the pitbull better than oem. Oem is great for what it is and is easy to get the rear up and down. It was just real unstable with a front fork stand.

- Going back to my ghetto center stand The center stand is posted in classifieds per forum rules. I went ahead and sent you a pm.
- Going back to my ghetto center stand Found that the OEM center stand is better suited for oil and rear tire changes so looks like I'm going back to my old school 40 dollar Home Depot special that was built when the Pitbull stand was just a twinkle in its…
- Repair parts OEM accessories - found them! Nice! wonder if you can build a set of bags from scratch for cheaper.

- Going full stealth Tips I have learned in case anyone else ever decides to do this: Keep in mind that at least on the vfr12 this takes some practice. I found the best thing to do is get some extra and cut 1ft squares and just practice…
- Going full stealth finally got some more work done today. it takes some practice. getting better though. that tank faring is a &*%$@ to get in one piece of wrap. [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] [image:…
- Going full stealth The auto grade stuff is supposed to be resistant to all automotive type hazards that can occur. I wouldnt think fuel vapor would be a problem
- Going full stealth got the stuff to finish. got a little backed up by other things. taking tomorrow off to see if i can finish up. Btw the cbr1000rr front fender does work on the vfr12.
- Rear seat cowl. [image: Posted Image] powerbronze seat cowl.
- Going full stealth Will do. I don't think I have enough material to do the nose this weekend but maybe I'll do the nose instead of the other tank cover since it is more straight forward.
- Going full stealth Not gonna get the whole job completed for a couple more days. Had to order some more carbon fiber wrap. I finally got the tank covers figured out but ran through a couple extra pieces doing it. I could do the tank…
- Going full stealth You ain't kidding. I cant help but notice that extra scratched middle fairing sitting in my garage that I could have saved the 250 dollars on replacing just for the scratch in the paint.

- Going full stealth Got the 2 tank panels and the nose to go. Its slow going but better to do it slow and get it right the first time. Then just need to put resin on the back of the fairings at the seams to seal it and should be able to…

- Going full stealth Maybe I will do a mock up on the RH side to see how it looks which should be very good I think. Here is my own homebrew theory which may be way off base but I think I have found the solution as to why my bike always…
- Going full stealth Will be working on the bike for the next few days after work. Just taking my time and having fun with it. Will have pics up after I finish. I am kind of new to this CF wrap but it looks like there are 2 grades to the…
- What parts has the VFR 1200 in common with other Honda's. There are 3 parts of the Honda OEM part number separated by hyphens (EX: 12345-ABC-A1234). If the middle 3 letters/digits do not say MGE then the part is probably retrofitted from another model and may be used on…
- Going full stealth Just carbon fibre vinyl wrap. It seems to be pretty tough stuff. I cant stop looking at it.
- Going full stealth CF for the fairings + CBR front fender then she is all done for now. Damn the CF fairings look good. :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: :ph34r: [image: Posted Image]
- What parts has the VFR 1200 in common with other Honda's. Yea I think you are right on the mirrors. They look exactly alike minus the black vs silver.
- Matte look to factory bling. I want a bead blaster. :sad:
- My first Trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the VFR1200 (Damage report and questions) If the road is "The Dragon" and the store at the end is "Tail of the Dragon", I'm gonna open a store right up the hill from them and name it "Butt of the Dragon".
- My first Trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the VFR1200 (Damage report and questions) Checked when I was at AZ and it was dupli-color bumper coat under rust-oleum professional grade undercoat. I remember I used undercoat instead of the bedliner coat because it flexed more with the plastic. 4k miles and…

- My first Trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the VFR1200 (Damage report and questions) I would think that if I had to have damage on the bag the front would be the best to do a undercoat spray to. Nobody who doesn't own a vfr will ever think that it is anything other than a factory chip protection coat. I…
- My first Trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the VFR1200 (Damage report and questions) If you're gonna keep it the same color, JMHO but I would just order the middle faring so the paint matches up right. I had to replace my middle right. The paint from the new one matches perfectly. 250 bucks and 10…
- Talk me into a VFR.... 6'5" and 250lbs here and I fit on one just fine. That doesnt mean that everyone like me will fit on one. You should test ride. My needs are different than a lot of tall guys that ride this bike though. Most raise bars…
