All 30- Tire Choice- Conti Motion or ContiSport Attack Hypersport Tires I'd go for the Hypersports. I tried ContiMotions once, and wore them out in 3,000 miles, by far the lowest mileage I've had out of tires on any of my three VFRs. Never handled all that great, either.
- Sena 20S - Any Issues? :tour: No problem. Sena sets got really popular in my area a couple of years ago so I've had a lot of opportunities to get reviews from friends and try them out myself. Their current lineup is the best on the market by…
- Sena 20S - Any Issues? I've had a 20S since last May or so. I mainly bought it because of the dual-module feature that would in theory allow me to listen to music with intercom overlaid on it. I upgraded from an SMH-10R I'd used for over a…
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread Lint Motographer Do you know if the company you ordered from is able to blank the headlight, taillight, and turn signal openings? Nobody makes track fairings for the VFR, but if it's possible to order them custom…
- Lost A Pannier This Weekend. Check David Silver Spares. They still have pannier sets for a few years of VFR, including the '04 red.
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread Do you know if the company you ordered from is able to blank the headlight, taillight, and turn signal openings? Nobody makes track fairings for the VFR, but if it's possible to order them custom through these guys,…
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread Following this for sure. I want to do a track day at some point on my '07, and the RWB fairings are way too precious to risk tearing up if I wreck. If your experience with the custom paint scheme is good, maybe I'll see…
- Pair Block Off - Port Blocking Also, tip for people that have trouble getting the tiny screw out of the reed valve - don't use a screw driver, just vise grip it and twist. I can't, for the life of me, get those little screws off. I'm actually…
- Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 In for one night, but I'll have to wait until closer to the event to figure out which one. Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
- Daugherty Front And Rear Suspension Install I wish I could :( Going the first weekend in August. Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
- Daugherty Front And Rear Suspension Install Got the fork kit installed Tuesday and Wednesday. The whole thing was much easier than I'd expected, only problems I had were losing the crush washer on one of the bottom bolts, necessitating a wild goose chase that was…
- New! Fork Cartridge Kits For Vfr750 And Vfr800 BTW, The only thing I'm dissappointed in with my two DMr purchases is that I didn't get any DMr stickers that everybody else seems to have. Same here! I wanted some to go on my forks :laugh:
- Daugherty Front And Rear Suspension Install Installed the same shock a couple of weeks ago, and I'm in the process of installing the fork kit now; lost one of the bottom bolt washers past closing time, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to button everything up.…
- How Quickly Does Your First One Drop? Same here. I fill my bike on the sidestand until it gets to the bottom of the filler neck, and 2 of the 3 times I did so on my trip yesterday, the first bar didn't even appear on the gauge. I thought something was up…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Nope, had to sell the 5th to pay for the new one. I was ready to move on, I badly wanted hard bags, and I had some major trust issues with my old bike after an inexplicable lowside last September. This one ticks every…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Picked her up last night, rode her 500 miles and change home today. I knew this bike would be a change from my 5th-gen, but I didn't think it would be such a huge improvement in almost every regard. I'm in love :wub:…
- Taller Touring Windscreen? You could probably make a Laminar Lip for a 6th-gen work, I can't imagine the 8th-gen windshield is significantly different. Otherwise probably just wait a month or two, I'm sure most of the major brands will have…
- High Mount - Soft Baggage Heat Shield There's a guy on the other VFR forum who fabricated a set of standoffs that screwed into the holes where the passenger handles usually go. That was on a 6th-gen, but I'm sure you could do the same for yours as long as…
- K&N air filter oiling question From what I hear, Seafoam seems to work better on carbed bikes than on FI ones. Probably helps clear the inevitable ethanol crap out of the jets and such. Glad I read this thread, I need to replace my air filter and I'm…
- Most miles on a 5th Gen? Misspent Youth There's supposedly a legendary bike courier in the UK who racked up 200K or 250K miles on a VFR, but don't know if that was a 5th gen or an earlier version. I know RIDE magazine bought a used 93 VFR with…
- If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? Prior to moving to Tennessee, I'd never seen another 4th- or 5th-gen on the road at all besides the two I've owned. My 4th-gen was destroyed when I lived in New Orleans by an idiotic college freshman driver, and I'm…
- New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. Very nice! I bought my '98 after owning a 4th-gen for just over a month and then having someone run into me, it's definitely different but still has the VFR soul. The biggest differences I noticed were the riding…
- Replacing spark plugs on my 99 W PICS I've been thinking about doing my plugs to try and improve my bike's apparently lower-than-normal mileage. Thanks for the tips. Any other advice on which plugs to use? I know next to nothing about them.
- Why are passenger handles such a b!#@h to find? Just keep looking on here and the other VFR pages. I found a set for mine on here a week after I bought it, but I really had to jump on them as they go FAST. Wish Honda had just kept the 3rd/4th-gen system where they…
- What Do I See In The March Issue of Motorcyclist? Flipped through that article pretty quickly until the Viffer caught my eye. I think you get an extra VFR-specific spider sense when you ride one of these bikes.
- to all the frankenviffers, this one's mine, VFR750RR Looks like a great project! CBR1000RR plastics?
- Anyone in the New Orleans area up for a Sunday ride? Hey all, I was thinking of taking a ride around the New Orleans/Northshore area this Sunday. Right now, I'm planning on taking Highway 11 out to Slidell, 190 or one of the less-used roads to Mandeville, and from there…
- Picked up a '94 a couple of weeks ago...think I did good? [image: View Post]RollinAgain, on 29 September 2011 - 08:38 AM, said: Congrats on your new toy! No offense but you really really overpaid for that bike and not just by a little. I've seen very clean 4th Gens with less…
- Picked up a '94 a couple of weeks ago...think I did good? [image: View Post]2thdr, on 28 September 2011 - 10:29 AM, said: Purdy! Looks like an awesome find... I think they look even better sans the grab handles and with a seat cowl...but that's just me. I have the cowl for it,…
- Picked up a '94 a couple of weeks ago...think I did good? After a few months of looking and an ordeal with a white deathtrap of a '93 that I posted about back in August, I finally found my dream VFR...1994, a hair under 23k miles, Vance & Hines exhaust, aftermarket windscreen,…
