  1. Does 5Th Gen Exhaust Fit 6Th Gen? 12 Dec 2012 05:02 I haven't ordered yet so I don't know for sure. But I expect there to be a hanger. So if the header bolts up fine, the worst that will happen is I'll have to fabricate a custom bracket.
  2. Does 5Th Gen Exhaust Fit 6Th Gen? 12 Dec 2012 03:35 I have been contemplating with GP-style exhaust. Found one but it is for 5th gen. So I wonder if a 5th gen VFR exhaust will bolt up to the 6th gen header?
  3. installed pair block off plates, and a question 19 Jun 2012 17:57 This morning I fired up the bike and it idled perfectly around 1300rpm. Viola! No need to mess with the fast idle wax unit. Now after riding it at median speed (~30-40mph) for ~45 minutes I have to say the popping on…

  5. installed pair block off plates, and a question 19 Jun 2012 05:13 [image: View Post]kaldek, on 18 June 2012 - 06:53 PM, said: Can you tell me what year your bike is? My 2002 needed no adjustment of the fast idle wax unit when I installed block off plates, but the 2006 motor (and ECU)…
  6. installed pair block off plates, and a question 18 Jun 2012 23:40 [image: View Post]spud786, on 17 June 2012 - 03:55 PM, said: Did you say you have modified exhaust , cause I get zero popping on decel with stock config and everything Hooked up from the manufactuer? Yes, I ran a short…
  7. installed pair block off plates, and a question 17 Jun 2012 17:59 timmythecop, removing the pair system did get rid of the popping on deceleration, so it is an improvement for me. Plus less weight, if that matters on a 500lbs bike.
  8. installed pair block off plates, and a question 17 Jun 2012 17:42 Yesterday I finally got the free time to install the pair block off plates. Also took the time to wire up a relay for the HID projector lights because the stock wiring doesn't seem to handle the surge of current at…
  9. Ordered a K&N filter and it doesn't fit..WTF? 28 Mar 2012 00:28 When I installed a K&N air filter on the VFR I didn't have fitment issue after removing both O-ring. It is a tight fit, but that's the purpose. You don't want air to enter the air box from anywhere outside the filter…
  10. "HID" LIGHTS, and Adjustments of any headlight 20 Dec 2011 22:42 Here is Los Angeles there are so many people running their high beam at night. I used to flash them but very few responded, if ever. So I installed bixenon HID projectors in both the VFR and the truck. And I don't…
  11. rant: low beam bulb holder is crooked by design 22 Nov 2011 22:39 From what I can tell, both bulbs holders were turned clock-wise by a small amount relative to horizon. Because Morimoto projectors come with centering rings that assumes the bulbs are horizontal, the end result is that…
  12. rant: low beam bulb holder is crooked by design 22 Nov 2011 07:59 So I got the morimoto mini projector set. baked my headlamp in the oven, popped the lens shield, bolted on the new projector with the supplied centering ring, and so on and on until I finally put everything back…
  13. Anyone use soft bag and Leo Vince exhausts? 20 Nov 2011 23:32 Since there is no response, I have went ahead and took the stock cans off to see how it sounds with straight pipe. WOW!!! It is like going from a kitten to a roaring lion. So I got a short piece of curved tip from…
  14. Anyone use soft bag and Leo Vince exhausts? 16 Nov 2011 18:41 Does anyone use soft bags with their Leo Vince exhaust? I'd like to improve the sound of the bike with a pair of Leo Vince aluminum cans, but I'm worried about the bags melting without the heat shield. If you have used…

  17. front and rear brakes uses the same pads? 28 Oct 2011 00:59 I'm planning to replace the brake pads with EBC double-H. EBC's online distributor suggests the front and rear brakes use the same pads: http://www.perfectbr...ts.asp?cat=4093 Is that right? I always thought the rear…
