Last 50 of 459- I am going to shut down vfrd soon I'll echo the same sentiment most have. Thanks for being the steward as long as you have. I've met some tremendous people through this forum, and have you to thank for it. Onward!
- Naked VFR Project Coxylaad, 9/2/2022 at 4:03 AM Interesting to hear the throttle bodies cycling through with no airbox or filter on. I was wondering if it was something to do with the fact they have been unplugged for over a year and…

- 7th gen OEM top box US inventory R342C Oregonian, 7/26/2022 at 4:18 PM I'm curious if you notice much aerodynamic difference between having all the boxes on vs. off. Short answer, yes. But not as much as you may imagine. Panniers not much difference, but can…
- 1,176 Mile Sierra Ride Good stuff! Black marks in the turns are a real thing on these 1200s. Haha! 12 hours ago, RC1237V My buddy on the Tenere commented as we stopped for the break in the picture above, that he knew we slowed down to wait…

- 7th gen OEM top box US inventory R342C 46 minutes ago, ShipFixer I would jump on that. Watch the pick up game of people haggling over sixth gen top cases and invest early 🤣 I got one of them. 😉
- 7th gen OEM top box US inventory R342C A little birdie with mother Honda tells me there are 18 factory OEM candy prominence red 31L top boxes on the shelf in the US warehouse. There used to be 19. Also, there are a good number of OEM rear racks for sale on…

- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 I've made it to town. Grabbing an early dinner and heading to the Hampton (not staying at Microtel). Planning on being at Microtel about 830 am if anyone cares to take a leisurely ride in the morning. I'm nursing a bit…

- GL1100 Well, I've been hunting one of these for about 15 years, and finally found one that I couldn't say no to. This was a bike bought new, and kept in the same family after the original owners death in 1996. I have *all* the…
- Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires That's always exciting! Glad the situation came out OK, and you're safe! Good reminder to leave ourselves room to maneuver.
- Picture Thread [image: large.IMG_20190420_161909_(1).jpg.274f7d]
- Couldn't stay away... Huh, perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe there is a booster or something? News to me if so, which would indicate that they work as intended! Ha!
- Couldn't stay away... 2 hours ago, MooseMoose Weren't the 7G breaks computer balanced fly by wire stuff? Nope! They were hydraulic... it was the throttle was went from handlebar cables to a sensor box. "Throttle by wire" I think they called…
- Couldn't stay away... flya750, 3/30/2019 at 5:31 PM You have me curious on how different the 7G brakes are from the 8G? Flya, The 7th gen brakes were 6 pot calipers up front, and it was seriously like throwing an anchor off the back of the…
- Couldn't stay away... 3 minutes ago, Igrok A national parks pass 🙂 Ha! You're not kidding... Good idea.
- Couldn't stay away... Hello again VFRD-ers Well, I couldn't stay away. I sold my 7th gen last year after a work layoff and relocation to Utah, and it's been eating me up inside not having a bike. I was in Denver for work last weekend and…
- Hub Closing... [image: Screenshot_20171221-110825.png]
- Hog tie 5.5 My friend Steve, who's coming, called Bud Pelsor, the fella that owns Dogpatch USA. Bud says he's happy to let us tour the place if we connect with him while we are in town. You know... rain plans. Could be fun!
- Hog tie 5.5 Squee!
- Hog tie 5.5 That sounds fun!
- Hog tie 5.5 Also, tentatively planning a bbq Saturday evening as per usual, provided Randalls grill still works. :)
- Hog tie 5.5 I'm hoping to get in Thursday mid day. Staying through Tuesday and bringing a tent. Glroyracing says the mid-south sport riders and sport touring guys are in town as well... I'd love to chase them around Friday…
- Hog tie 5.5 There are a bunch of people who aren't on the forum coming. My friends Erik and Steve, (triumphs), a coworker of Steve's is coming. Erik is bringing 2 friends as well., so that's 5... My old neighbor and a buddy of his…
- Hog tie 5.5 I think I'll be dragging 5 riders with me... but most are on cruisers.
- Tire change mid trip in CO. As an aside, let me know if you want a tour of some of the good twistys. Might be able to sweet talk Hispanic Slammer in to tagging along if you're around through Sunday.
- Tire change mid trip in CO. I live in Colorado Springs, and Apex does good work. They aren't the cheapest around, and I think they charge 25/tire for mount/balance. I would have no qualms using them for quick service... just may want to call ahead…
- Hog tie 5.5 5.5 is because I wasn't at the last one... which only counts as half a ride. :) See you all in a few weeks.
- Hog tie 5.5 Bumpity-bump
- Helmet in Factory Side Case? Good to know I'm not alone on this... There were a few minutes there that I was in serious self-doubt on my packing ability.
- Helmet in Factory Side Case? Those of you with more experience, how on earth do you get your helmet in the side case? I've read they fit in the left one... XL Shoei?
- New Member - New Questions RE: LSL - Highly subjective, but hurt my wrists. Sold the set and went back to stock. I am the 1%. Well built kit though, fairly easy to do. Welcome and congrats!
- Hog tie 5.5 Hey All! Hog Tie 5.5 dates are September 8-10, 2017. See other posts for info on place and whatnot. More info here https://www.hubinfo.com/
- Yokel's VFR1200 re-fresh Alright! Took the bike out yesterday and gave it a good shagging. The LSL bars still need some tweaking, but I think I like them. Seat is the bees knees, and suspension totally changed the big bike. It's flickable now.…
- Yokel's VFR1200 re-fresh Got the forks installed, can't wait to try it out! Spooned on some new rubber too. Still dinking with the LSL bar conversion... Those may wind up on the classifieds as they just may not work for me.

- "official" Hog Tie 2016 - Sep 23-26 2016 03viffer, 9/5/2016 at 11:57 AM I am new to VFRD and live in Northwest Arkansas (NWA). Is this event still a go? I hear a rumor that a few may be out there next weekend, the 11th. Hopefully they'll chime in. I know one…
- DemiRacer I don't care what anyone else has to say about your project. You bought it, you ride it, you like it. Good on ya. For what it's worth, I think it's the bees knees. Curious what else you have in the works. :)
