All 23- Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 Ok, I broke down and bought a set of case liners from Bestem USA that are supposed to be for VFR800 (it's even embroidered on them). I can now definitely say these do NOT fit the 1200 factory cases! These are made for…
- Bigger Fuel Tank Artfulkatana, 2/3/2016 at 6:17 PM I Artfulkatana, 2/3/2016 at 6:17 PM http://www.twistedthrottle.com/twisted-throttle-tool-tube-w-mounting-kit What about this under a trunk if anyone has that equiped? I should take…
- Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 suzukijo, 4/6/2015 at 7:45 PM spinalator, when you say you bought non oem, what brand did you buy, and I assume its for the 800, if the fit wasn't perfect, was it ok? Now that I picked up a set of oem 1200 side cases,…
- T-Mac 2014 Quotes 007; "I just wanna stuff it up the inside of somebody" 007's g/f standing with look of bewilderment. 007; "Then they'll be phucked". g/f's bewilderment continues. I tell her not to be alarmed, it's a sport bike thing.
- T-Mac 2014 Quotes Just to be sure you get the point Dave, Thanks. Somewhere there is a Ducati owner still wondering how that dude on the fully dressed 7th Gen ripped him and left him like he was on a scooter. Charmahala pass with TWitte,…
- T-Mac 2014 Quotes CornerCarver "The next prize up is this model of a Ducati 998, I just wanted to give you a heads up so the winner can go ahead and start scheduling the maintenance." Aaaaaannnd the winning ticket number was...998!
- Input On Hard Luggage For 2012 Vfr1200 Dct I used to think that if I were flying solo, I'd go for the factory cases for the lack of brackets. But I often travel for a week with the wife, so factory cases are too small. Additionally, I've grown kind of fond of…
- Official Roomate Thread - Tmac 2014 Since this has gotten started I will toss mine up there once more. I have a reservation Wednesday-Sunday (Departure on Sunday). If anyone is brave enough to bunk with the new guy, give me a shout. :cool: -PRB Ben, I…
- Bigger Fuel Tank 5.8 gals would definitely give it the range I wish it had. But as others said, it's not particularly attractive, and puts that extra 6 or 7 lbs up awfully high. Pity they couldn't expand the sides of the tank under the…
- Michelin pr 4 I was thinking the same thing...is the FJR a heavier bike than the VFR1200? About 60 lbs heavier with a full tank of fuel (almost two gallons more than the VFR). The VFR is a virtual lightweight by comparison. The FJR…
- Bigger Fuel Tank GerhardVFRRider Well I have done it. Cost me R3000 (US$300) for metal work and R2250 (US$225) for paintwork. I have not filled it up but they assured me that it will take between 4 and 6 more litres. Well I'll be very…
- Ohlins Install There's a good reason Ohlins is the gold standard in suspension. I'm just too cheap to go for the gold standard. I've had very good luck with Works and Penske. Admittedly not as good as Ohlins, but always a massive…
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options Not only is it, uh... aesthetically challenged, I would worry about all that weight hanging off the back. Not to mention any aerodynamic issues!
- Bigger Fuel Tank BonusVFR DD ...here is another shot of the "Tool Tube". I think I got these at a hardware store but they are available from Twisted Throttle. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/twisted-throttle-tool-tube-w-mounting-kit .…
- Bigger Fuel Tank BonusVFR Is there a way to rig a small bottle/canister under the left bag similar to what I have done on my 5th gen here? This one liter bottle is my emergency and stove fuel. I'd like to see a couple better pics of…
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options Dear lord that's hideous.
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options blakebird the oem bags tuck in nicely and there are no mounts to disturb the looks when the bags are off. if oem bags weren't available, I would have no problems with the Givis... Givi makes the color matched bags for…
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options All is not as it appears there my friend. I did NOT go with the Honda cases because they're much too small for 2-up touring (IMO) at just 29 liters each, and I don't believe they will hold a full face helmet under any…
- Ecu Re-Flash - All 4 Threads Merged I'd volunteer to be Brock's test mule if he showed any interest in the 12. I'm literally just minutes from his shop. And I have to admit, it would be nice if my gear position indicator read correctly. :wacko:
- Ecu Re-Flash - All 4 Threads Merged If Brock were to develop a reflash, I'd be interested as he's essentially in my back yard. In fact, I met him at the local drag strip (Kil-Kare) when he was just a guy tuning Suzukis back in the '90s. Now he's got a big…
- Seat Recommendation? crakerjac I've been tossing around the idea of getting my seat re-done through LAAM seats. The price is reasonable and free return shipping saves some more $$$. Corbin and Sargent are nice, but they seem to have a…
- Seat Recommendation? Volfy Corbin and Sargent also offer aftermarket seats you can buy outright. Those they do use their own seat pan, I'm sure. My Corbin came on its own seat pan and it weighs a TON! But it's extremely comfy once they got…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear For the life of me I can't imagine how anyone could look at those dyno charts and NOT spend the relatively paltry price for a Z-Bomb. While some might say it's too much power in the lower gears, I say look at how…
