  1. Exhaust Ding 16 Jul 2012 14:00 WIthout seeing the ding - I'll gamble and say that its supposed to be there. I recall that with Tunes - there is a factory made "Ding" that owners often ask about - but its meant to be there. Here are some pictures.…
  2. Exhaust Ding 16 Jul 2012 12:09 So I just got back from a 9 day camping trip in Maine and noticed a pretty solid dent in my Staintune high-mount. I honestly have no idea how it got there; best I can think of is some knuckle head hit my bike in a…
  3. Motorcycle GPS 19 Jun 2012 02:47 [image: View Post]zon, on 18 June 2012 - 11:58 AM, said: Is it really necessary to buy a motorcycle GPS unit? The Garman Nuvi 50LM is on sale at Target this week for $129.99 and I was wondering how well this would work…
  4. Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. 17 Jun 2012 13:05 Wishes to Bill and his family for a speedy and smooth recovery. At least it isn't worse... -Mike
  5. First Honda and First VFR 8 Jun 2012 05:44 Welcome and congrats on you're pristine new VFR! Excellent find. Hopefully you get thousands of fun miles out of it. -Mike
  6. Pristine 01 meets deer 7 Jun 2012 20:28 Sorry to hear about another rider and VFR down. Hope your friend heals quickly and good luck finding that high mileage VFR. -Mike
  7. Going full stealth 19 May 2012 01:08 Looks awesome! Excellent final product! -Mike
  8. Going full stealth 18 May 2012 00:24 Looking wicked sharp! -Mike
  9. Choices 6 May 2012 00:20 Well obviously as a 5th gen owner, I've got bias in my response. But in all honesty, if you really want to ride, sell the 93 and pick up the 99. There's no point in buying a bike if you aren't going to be able to ride…
  10. RJ's 98 VFR800 6 May 2012 00:08 [image: View Post]RocketJohn, on 03 May 2012 - 09:34 AM, said: haha... you aren't the first to mention that... that's my garage door opener fob... I will have to look into that... no plans to sell this one... Thinks…

  12. How old are our VFR owners? 5 May 2012 23:46 21, riding 3 years. VFR can really be an "any age" bike in my opinion. Hell my dad has one (same gen, off by a year) and he's clearly much older than me. -Mike
  13. Inexpensive Front Suspension Mods? 30 Apr 2012 03:49 If you're doing forks maybe RaceTech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators? Honestly don't know the price (purchased my VFR with them) but they do stiffen the front suspension a bit more than stock, but not too much. I…
  14. Lookie what I found on Ebay for cheap. 28 Apr 2012 13:03 Nice! Congrats on the find. -Mike
  15. Why the "buzz" about aftermarket exhaust? 28 Apr 2012 12:04 Well my 5th gen came with both the OEM can and a Staintune slip on. Gotta say, weight decrease is nice (15 or so lbs lighter), sounds better (not necessarily louder unless I take out the silencer which I generally do),…
  16. POSSIBLY THE UGLIEST VFR EVER 25 Apr 2012 00:38 Gotta love the classy "Get Low" on the seat of the green one. -Mike
  17. POSSIBLY THE UGLIEST VFR EVER 24 Apr 2012 18:56 I'm rather speechless... -Mike
  18. RIP Ponrod 22 Apr 2012 01:59 That's so unfortunate...R.I.P. -Mike
  19. Old school stickers on 5th Gen 21 Apr 2012 00:09 Color sticker combo looks great! -Mike
  20. Need to get my wife in the saddle 17 Apr 2012 12:38 Gunna have to say either Suzuki GS500F or SV650. Both are terrific bikes. Ninja 650R, Yamaha FZ6R, and Suzuki GS650F are another couple of options. All in all, get her something with comfortable and not too aggressive…
  21. So I accidentally bought a VFR with ABS - Outstanding! 16 Apr 2012 17:51 Congrats on the new VFR and like Canuck said, we need pics or it isn't real! -Mike
  22. '99 with Stickers Stripped and Y2K Mirrors 13 Apr 2012 11:34 Looks sharp! -Mike
  23. The Tale of My 100,000 Mile VFR800 9 Apr 2012 02:50 Nice! Congrats on the 100,000 miles mark! A great achievement! -Mike
  24. Motorcycle Video of the Day 6 Apr 2012 16:24 Fantastic. Hopefully we'll see that kind of racing this year with the new 1000's. -Mike
  25. Hi-Viz Helmets and clothing 6 Apr 2012 03:18 Interesting point. For the most part those neon yellow vests seem to work really well (color of your helmet). Whenever coming up on a construction site first think I usually see are the guys where the vests. Something…
  26. Considering a 5th gen VFR 24 Mar 2012 06:24 Really can't say much more than what everyone else has said other than the VFR is a "do everything well" kind of bike. Better yet, here's a review of one not too long ago, maybe it will be of interest...since well, he…
  27. New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. 19 Mar 2012 03:12 Y2K mirrors installed. Good riddance condom mirrors. Just as happy with these Emgo mirrors as I was with the authentic Honda Y2K mirrors on my Gen 4. Very nice. Question: Is that a picture with the stock clip-ons…

  29. ebay wind screen 16 Mar 2012 18:57 To be honest the screen seems a tad bit too high in regards to looks. -Mike
  30. corbin & seat cowl ? 16 Mar 2012 18:31 Here are pics of a Sargent seat with Givi rack. The Givi s are Keyless 41 liter cases. I've never used my rear seat cowl (still in it's bubble wrap). I love the Givi s. That's a really solid setup, might be an addition…
  31. corbin & seat cowl ? 16 Mar 2012 18:29 That's exactly the way Sargent intended you to do it. Just the front section, then bolt on the rear cowl. Alright, that does make sense. Thank you. TheWarrior17........ Sorry don't know about the 2 piece seat. No…

  34. Aftermarket Turn Signals? 29 Feb 2012 15:16 [image: View Post]Dutchy, on 29 February 2012 - 09:10 AM, said: http://www.thurn-mot...ten-rc46-1.html No affiliation, just a happy customer with them :tour: Thanks Dutchy! I appreciate it. -Mike
  35. Aftermarket Turn Signals? 29 Feb 2012 05:20 I guess the first question to ask is, does anyone have aftermarket turns signals or seen ever seen any? -Mike

  38. Purchase Advice ... VFR 1200 or ST1300 20 Feb 2012 01:51 Now I'll be the first to admit that I'm no expert, but 16,500 sounds a bit pricey to me for an ST without ABS. I know at my local dealer has 2 2010 VFR1200F (non DCT) for literally 9,999 each. I'd say look around a…
  39. New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. 20 Feb 2012 01:41 Looks nice! Congrats on the new VFR, you won't be disappointed with the 5th Gen, fantastic ride. Have fun with it! -Mike
  40. Aftermarket Turn Signals? 19 Feb 2012 17:56 Hello everyone, so I saw sa1713's post with his very nicely repainted 5th gen VFR. I noticed there were aftermarket turn signals which got me thinking does anyone know of any good aftermarket turn signals that don't…
  41. Cafe racer my new favourite 17 Feb 2012 08:00 I really like this idea for a project! I'll be honest,I don't know much about cafe bikes and what makes a good cafe bike but how about a Kawasaki KZ? Like a KZ400 or KZ650? You could probably pick one up real cheap and…
  42. Couple of looks at my newly powdered wheels 15 Feb 2012 22:54 Liking the color, matches the bike well! -Mike
  43. New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR 13 Feb 2012 04:59 Looks nice! I'd say the yellow beetle bags look just fine. Now go out and enjoy the Y2K! -Mike
  44. Make it RAWR for less than $100 10 Feb 2012 01:44 Looks and sounds nice. Very impressive. -Mike
  45. Hard bag paint scheme. Opinions please! 10 Feb 2012 01:38 I like the design, I think it has potential for sure. -Mike
  46. Hi from Dallas, Texas - Riding again after 5 years 25 Jan 2012 04:38 Sharp lookin' bike! Welcome from New England! -Mike
  47. High right exhaust 4th Gen 8 Jan 2012 17:26 I don't know if Danamoto (chinese company) makes exhausts for the 4th gen but it might be something to look into. -Mike
  48. 40,000 great miles and then this.... 9 Nov 2011 21:51 I'm so sorry to hear about your bike. But first thing is first, that you are okay which I'm glad to hear. Bike's replaceable, you aren't. -Mike
