All 44- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. thtanner I would avoid K&N, even though you've had good luck. Too many failures! Heck, one failed on a 6th gen here locally a week or so ago. I personally use OEM or Bosch 3300s [image: aVDnfwT.jpg] This is exactly what…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Alright, I've gotten acquainted with the new suspension and I'm in love. It kind of makes me wonder why I waited so damn long to do this. I know it's a little expensive but if you are on the fence I would not hesitate…
- 30 min fork oil change- On bike After sort of doing this over the weekend I can't really see why you wouldn't just pull the forks off the bike. Honestly it's not worth the hassle to do this with them still on. Too easy to mess the bolt up. Sent from…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Heard back from Jamie and he confirmed what you guys already knew. I needed to cut the spacers. Adjusted them by 55mm and it went back together in no time. I took it for a spin but it's raining and I didn't want to push…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr The kit was included with new spacers. It's designed to not need to be cut. Will a longer than planned spring cause any issues with the spring rate? I have the stock spacers I could use to test this out..... Sent from…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Cutting the spacer might be the route this has to go. Jamie had me measure the springs and they are about 1" too long. I am waiting see what he recommends. I don't want to cut something I shouldn't yet. I'm not sure if…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr I got the bolt out! Followed Jamie's instructions about drilling it out and all was well. I did the forks following the instructions and all went very smoothly....until I tried to put on the fork caps. Instructions say…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr My thinking was with the forks still in the triple I could just break them free easier then when they were off. Clearly this didn't work out as intended. The good news is that a local dealer had the bolt so I can drill…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr That makes sense. I would assume there will be enough bolt left to get vise grips on it if I drill the head off? This is the first time I've tried to remove the forks. I don't know what it all looks like inside. Sent…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr I was hoping to take her out this weekend for a nice long test ride. Going to be on hold. Trying to source another bolt in town tomorrow and see what Jamie says about drilling the bolt out. I can order it for $3 but…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Awesome. Stripped the bolt on the right leg trying to get it out. Yay. Guess this is on hold for a while. Tried cracking it loose while forks where on the bike to keep it all from moving. Left side went perfect. Right…
- 30 min fork oil change- On bike I just needed an extended one for the impact gun. I am going to be installing a DMR kit this weekend. Trying to cut down on the runs to the store during the project. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Finished installing the rear shock tonight. What a pain in the butt! I don't exactly know what I finally did right. I think it was lowering and raising the swing arm several times but I finally got it lined up. Trying…
- 30 min fork oil change- On bike What size is that Allen bolt in the bottom of the fork? 5mm or 6mm? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- How much oil? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- How much oil? I have read throw different posts and realize fork level is set by measuring but how much oil am I looking at here? 1 bottle, 2, 5? Okay I realize it isn't 5 but do I need a bottle per fork? Sent from my iPad using…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Fair enough :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr I laid it all out for her this morning. I softened her up with a foot massage and some sex, and then after breakfast I started. "I need to do some maintenance on the motorcycle". Then I explained all the reasons it was…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr I need my wife to read this. I am dying to redo my suspension and DMr is what I have been looking into. I rarely ride solo anymore. It's almost all 2 up commuting and touring with some spirited weekend day rides. The…
- Cleaning Helmet Pads [Liner] I use a delicate washing bag (that thing women wash their sexy stuff in) and put my liner in that. Keeps it from sticking to other Inge in the wash and makes them easy to find. Never had any trouble that way. I air dry…
- First time to Big Sur and Carmel Great trip. I did a ride for the whole length of highway 101. Did a side trip on highway 1 through Big Sur and Carmel. Beautiful area. Congrats on making it there. Should be on everyone's ride list. Sent from my iPad…
- Heyo. Looking At Vfrs I bought my VFR with factory side bags. I dropped the coin for the matching top case and bracket and I couldn't be happier. Mines a daily driver plus touring duty during the summer. I love the hard bags. They lock and…
- Fitted An Automatic Chain Oiler That's what's great about the pro oiler. I can turn it up or down with the push of a button on the dash. Plus it adds oil based on speed so faster equals more oil. I picked it up from a guy who bought it and then sold…
- Fitted An Automatic Chain Oiler I've got a pro oiler on mine. Love it. Controller is mounted on the dash so I can dial it up in the rain. I don't not miss oiling the chain. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- 02 800 Refresh Nice work. Looks good Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- Bike Dilemma I think it all comes down to not loving anything out there more than I love my VFR. I guess she is here to stay and she will get some fresh legs to work with. I like lots of individual things about each of the other…
- Bike Dilemma I have the BLS lowering pegs. Forgot to include those in my list. You lose track over the years lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Thanks cogs. That was what I was thinking. I ride almost exclusively two up. The…
- Bike Dilemma Just second guessing myself. I love my VFR but something new is always fun. Plus I like the tech stuff on the FJR and RT. Of course you pay for it all and I can't afford the RT. A used FJR I could afford. The suspension…
- Bike Dilemma Thanks guys. I do have factory luggage on the VFR and with the top case I have no complaints on what i can carry. I am leaning towards doing the suspension and keeping her. We have had some great adventures together.…
- Bike Dilemma Here is my situation: I have a 2003 VFR that I have owned about 4.5 years. I love the bike. I came from a 94 ninja ZX6E and the VFR was a comfort and reliability upgrade for sure. It has allowed me to start doing a lot…
- 6Th Gen 4 Into 1 Exhaust Yeah, I wouldn't have bought it myself, but I'm glad the other guy did. I had a wtf moment when I was checking out the bike before I bought it but I have made it work. I'm glad it's there. Sent from my iPad using…
- Pillion / Seating Arrangement Scrap that seat. I had a Corbin. Heavy, not at comfortable for me, and wife didn't like it at all. Same thing. Any braking she slid forward. It sucked. I finally convinced her to let me get a custom seat (proof I'm…
- Vfr1200 In A Tight Slow Turn Look through the turn like others have suggested and drag some rear brake. That can make a big difference in keeping you from going too wide. I would get some cones and spend a Saturday in a school parking lot. You can…
- 6Th Gen 4 Into 1 Exhaust Sort of. More of a planning thing now. Of course I also learned to check the pads before beginning a long trip. I learned my lesson. It also keeps me from losing them :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- Cruise Control That atlas is expensive. I have a NEP style I got for less than $20. That combined with a cramp buster is all I use. I think the electronic cc on our bikes is trouble waiting to happen. I try not to upset the electric…
- 6Th Gen 4 Into 1 Exhaust I made a mistake years ago on an older bike. Did 530 miles along the coast with toasted front brakes. Had to ride the last 100 miles with metal on metal. Scary stuff. Old bike+weekend=no pads available to purchase on…
- 6Th Gen 4 Into 1 Exhaust I have the dummy can setup from two bros (installed by previous owner) and I actually like it a lot. I use the dummy can to hold my tool kit, tire repair, full set of Allen wrenches, rags, spare fuses, zip ties, 2 sets…
- Visit To Bmw Dealer Saved Me 20K I feel kind of the same way. I have been looking into upgrading my 6th gen to something in the FJR, ST, or Connie territory. But I just did 2800 miles following 101 from SoCal to Olympia and that VFR is t going…
- Seat Recommendation? I had a Corbin and went with a Russell Day Long and love it. The Corbin was better than stock, but no comparison to the RDL. Of course they cost different, but I love the RDL. If I bought another bike, it would probably…
- Honda Police Bars It says that you have to trim the windscreen. Do you know how much?
- OEM topcase rack install question DDO is correct. You mist use the short spacers with the side mounts. When I installed mine I found it was easiest if I loosened the side mounts so I could adjust the top mount and secure it first.
- Intercoms, Bluetooths, and Radios, Oh My! I have the Sena smh10 and couldn't be happier. Hooks up to my iPhone and I can voice command on rides, listen to music, get calls or chat with the girlfriend. We can even 3 way conference with my dad when we are all…
- Who Wears Earplugs, And Why? I always wear mine. From the first day I started riding. I have very good hearing and I want it to stay that way. When I go shooting I wear plugs and muffs. Because once its gone, it doesn't come back.
- Givi E55 and OEM sidebags- has anyone here done it? I have OEM bags and racks, with a Givi Topcase. What mount are you using?
