- My first Trip to the Tail of the Dragon on the VFR1200 (Damage report and questions) I'm putting together a cost comparison on whether or not to get the bike painted or to just buy all new parts. Here are a few questions. 1. Does anyone know where to locate just the outer part of the cases? - I can find…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. Thanks Smithy Yeah I hope I don't have any problems, because I really like the heli bars so far. I'll have a lot more answers when I get back from my trip this weekend.
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. Another Question, - How should I adjust the shift lever on the VFR? - I need a little more room to more easily get my foot under the lever. - Should I adjust the linkage to between the lever and trans, or take the…
- Talk me into a VFR.... I would say get the 2010 and if you want the better mapping get a bazzaz z-bomb, which fixes the mapping in first and second gear. You'lll just have to get used to 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6 on the gear indicator. Then you will…
- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. I though hard about the DCT, but I already have enough problems with my Jetta DSG trying to make all the decisions for me. I know it's different than the honda DCT, but I just prefer to have the control. I would say go…
- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. Hey Peter, No problem, I've had a lot of bikes, and I have just gotten to know what I want and don't want out of them. I hate to sacrifice performance for comfort, but if my goal is to ride longer distances and a few…

- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. I do think the new locations of the clutch and brake lever, make for a more relaxing ride. Over all though the bars have met most of my expectations. I will be able to tell if they completely fit the bill in a week,…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. My reservoir does the same thing. Don't know if its normal, but mine is the same. On a different note, what are your thoughts on that Laminar Lip? My 6th Gen has wind protection that is perfect for me, but this 7th has…

- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. I've been riding today a little with the Heli Bars and after riding I can definitely tell a difference. They are more comfortable the longer I ride. The stock bars had my wrist bothered after about 15 minutes and the…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. I like the look of the sargent seats but for $80 more I can just order a complete Corbin seat. Then I would still have my factory seat to go with the bike. Also I don't think I want to be any closer to the pegs. I am…
- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. I will say this I need to see another vfr1200 without the Heli bars, because I do not notice much difference in my ridding position. I still feel like I could come up another inch or 2, and even out a little further.…
- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. Never mind on all three. I went back out and after so adjustments, I realized that the ignition switch box was not all the way out and not sitting on its little pin whole. Also the left side I had pushed the inner…

- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. grandall1972 - Searching threads I came across this post. Congrats on the new bike but I gotta tell you that now I'm really confused. Was literally just about to plunk down $15k for a concours and saw the VFR1200. It…

- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. I didn't get a chance to get pictures of the bike in the daylight but here are some of it in the garage. Installed so far are, laminar lip, bazzaz z-bomb, cramp buster, and dress kit to cover open nuts. Heli Bars are…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. Also, it might take me a little while to 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th, but if what I read is true, I will get used to it and prefer it. I could just put a piece of tape of the gear indicator and go to what I used to…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. I got the bazzaz Z-bomb in to day and the laminar lip, and wasted no time installing both of them. I can't wait to test both of them tomorrow. I will post picks tomorrow when I can get them in the day light. The Heli…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. The MRA X-Creen is very effective, has more adjustment, is very high quality (German) and imo looks better than the Honda spoiler. It also adjusts and locks without any tools. Might be worth a look.…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. After finding a few reviews, I went ahead and ordered the Laminar lip. Decided if I want to go fast I can always take it off. Also for a $100 dollars, it's worth the try. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out what to…

- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. How adjustable is the honda wind screen extension. When I read about it it says something like 3 position and other adjustments. What does that really mean, and how far can it extend over the stock windscreen? Thanks
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. At 6'1, the Heli-bars and OEM windscreen extension are perfect for me. I prefer the look of the stock windscreen on its own but the extension works a charm and I am now quite used to the look. As for the Heli-bars, the…

- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. I am only 6 foot and the Heli Bars was my first purchase for the 1200F. If you go that route dont get the new wind screen untill you ride it with the new bars. I like getting a little lift at hwy speeds from the stock…
