All 20- Engine Heat Poll i find that the right ankle and calf get some heat but it's livable 2nd that one.
- Recall Update The shafts (new and old) are identical, I think that only the bearing seals are different. Are you sure that the shaft in the photo is the new one and not only a temporary replacement as suggested in the recall? I'll…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Here is the new shaft we will all receive, this was taken at my dealership today. [image: post-23356-0-23696200-1453608007.jpg][image: post-23356-0-18585900-1453608026.jpg][image:…
- Recall Update Here are a few pictures of the new shaft that will be installed next week, I took these at the dealership today. I can't compare old vs new so I don't know the differences. [image: IMG_0773.jpg] [image: IMG_0774.jpg]…
- Recall Update Went down to the dealer last Saturday and ordered the part, they called today and said it was in so I'm going to drop the bike off tomorrow and have them repair it durning the week. I think I got lucky, only 5 day wait…

- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Darrenk Old thread, but I thought I'd try to give it new life... Today I finished installing the LSL handlebar conversion kit from Spiegler on my VFR1200 DCT. I had Helibars (look for them in the classifieds soon), but…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Auron Yes, I do but its better then it was. Here's the problem you will encounter if you try to use a higher bar. I could have adjusted this bar a little higher in the clamps but as you can see it would have smashed the…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Podman Ok - it's called an "update please" Just had a chance to ride the bike this morning since it's been about 100 here every day for the last two weeks and I'm a ATGATT type of guy so I don't ride much when it's over…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Auron How do those bars effect vibration, better or worse? Is there any way to, take those motocross bars and reduce vibration at the same time? Wonder if you could fill them with something heavy? I have not had a…

- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars I really appreciate what you can do to help me out. I have the Helibars on my bike! They are good, but I believe I'd really like the Spiegler bar better. Just trying to get this bike just right... [image: IMG_0440.JPG]…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Hvrnaut mikep,Did you end up going with the Spiegler bar? I would appreciate your observations on the differences between them and stock and/or Helibars. Thanks. Hvrnaut I just received the kit today so I plan on…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars I called Spiegler today and I was mistaken about the brake lines, the rep said they weren't needed. The rep also said that this was one of the easier installs since you don't have to remove the top bridge as the picture…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars [image: 120h136mxn1sw.jpg]Hi Has anyone considered using the Spiegler bar setup over the Heli bars, if so do you like them . Does anyone know the location differences between the two setups( higher,pull back). According…
- Seat Recommendation? Hope this helps. There probably are several ways to mount the airhawk, this is just the way I have it installed. [image: IMG_0423.JPG] [image: IMG_0425.JPG]
- Seat Recommendation? fcaprilia It's funny we both had or have Aprilia's and switched to Honda DCT's. I went from a pain in the a__ clutch to no clutch at all. To answer your questions yes that is the same one and it fits fine. You just have…
- Seat Recommendation? I have something called the Airhawk R that seemed to help out quite a bit but did not totally solve my problem. My seat bothers me right in my groin area, this air bladder takes some of the pressure off so it's a work…

- Question on VFR1200 DCT Brake System The front brake only applies the brakes to the 5 front caliper pistons, 2 left 3 right, not the rear. Here's the catch, the rear applies the brakes to the rear as assumed but also applies the brakes to the upper piston…
