  1. Main Step Heat Guard 1 Apr 2017 05:56 2017 at 0:24 PM, Thumbs, March 25 If you're going to make a carbon fibre replacement any chance of making that 2? Yeah, I figure I'll make a batch of them if I make any. So far, though, I don't mind it missing. My right…
  2. Main Step Heat Guard 11 Mar 2017 22:32 I removed mine today. Figured I'd give it a try and see what I thought. Has anyone else tried that? It's a pretty simple part. If it sucks I may lay a replacement up in CF.
  3. 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 14 Sep 2016 04:38 Just got mine installed today. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. I'm almost done modding my bike now!
  4. Hard Saddle Bags For 5 Gen? 2 Jan 2016 16:34 I've got a set of Hepco & Baker bags off my project bike that I need to get rid of. The rack is slightly tweaked but I think loosening the bolts and bending a couple of spots would set it right again. They're super nice…
  5. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 24 Dec 2015 22:32 Wow, that 8th gen exhaust is intriguing. All prior generations merged each side of the engine (1+2, 3+4) in a 4-2-1 configuration. The new bike looks like it does (1+3, 2+4). It really does look to me like the 8th gen…
  6. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 24 Dec 2015 18:32 Rush2112 ...in the back they merge before turning under the bike and the front appears to have the different bends you describe. Good catch, thanks. Do you have any pictures of that rear merge? That's directly…
  7. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 24 Dec 2015 05:05 [image: 8thgen_radiators.jpg] Here's the Honda media shot. Check the bend in the primary - on the NC that same bend is to clear the radiator fan, which fits in the circular "hole" shaped by the exhaust.
  8. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 24 Dec 2015 02:54 Sorry if this has been discussed, but in the original post, you say: Headers with this configuration will fit VFR800s from 1998 to the current model year Are you suuuure that's true? The 8th gen bikes have dual…
  9. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 19 Sep 2015 02:53 I think the best thing about living in the future is that when I have a great idea (and I have a lot of them), there's usually someone who's already figured out what I need to know! Thanks for your posts, Rush2112, this…
  10. Has anyone fixed the grabby clutch for sure? 13 Oct 2011 22:44 I can't find it at the moment, but there's a thread either here or on VFRW discussing it. I'm going to try cleaning the clutch rod, but that thread has several people who report no change. I'm looking for input on…
  11. Has anyone fixed the grabby clutch for sure? 13 Oct 2011 15:37 Glad to hear that some people haven't had it, but I do... and if you've ever had it, you'll know that it's not a question of maintenance. But thanks for the input. kaldek, did you use factory Honda parts or aftermarket?
  12. Has anyone fixed the grabby clutch for sure? 13 Oct 2011 03:31 I've done some reading, and it appears that I'm not alone in suffering from the awful >3500 RPM clutch grab/cough. Has anyone permanently fixed it? How did you do so? I'm contemplating a complete Barnett clutch kit soon…
