  2. 2014 Vfr800 Oem Panniers/luggage Key Set Install 15 Mar 2016 19:37 I just uploaded 3 pictures to my gallery of the luggage without the key sets to show the mechanism. In the closeup picture, under the small shiny spot, is a lever that seems to lock into the 2 handles. I'm not sure how…
  3. 2014 Vfr800 Oem Panniers/luggage Key Set Install 13 Mar 2016 18:04 No problem. I am going to contact Honda Canada to see if they can explain.
  4. 2014 Vfr800 Oem Panniers/luggage Key Set Install 13 Mar 2016 12:01 Ok, I already have this. This is for the VFR1200 bags and key sets. I have the bags from a 2014 VFR800, which uses a wave key setup. The keyset, once tumblers are put together, fits into a sleeve then inserts into the…

  6. Vfr1200... I Did It My Way 30 Jul 2015 16:26 Looks great - nice job and looks really well executed. Quick question - are you feeling any imbalance with the shaft and exhaust both on the left side? I assume the shaft on the left is the only reason Honda put the…
  7. Vfr1200... I Did It My Way 26 Jul 2015 23:10 I'm interested in the Sargeant seat cover and gel inserts and how much difference it make in long distance comfort. What is your impression of this seat setup? Can you give some info on ordering and price? Thank you…
  8. 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube 13 Jun 2015 14:25 Just a question around the recommended fuel requirements. The label on them tank says that high test gas is recommended. I have not checked into the compression ratio yet but is that an absolute. I just did a trip from…
  9. Exhaust For Vfr 1200 12 May 2015 20:47 I have just bought a 2012 VFR1200 and although I am not sure if I will change the pipe, what is the one pipe that makes the less noise without any performance issues. Stan
  10. Input On Hard Luggage For 2012 Vfr1200 Dct 15 Apr 2014 17:54 I am thinking about buying a 2012 VFR1200. It only has 3900 kms on it for less than $12,000 CDN. It's either that or a 2009 ST1300PA from the USA. The bike currently does not have hard luggage on it. Would it be better…
  11. Vtec Shock Options 9 Aug 2013 17:05 I just finished altering a stock 2007 VTEC ABS shock with a 1092-69/170 (971 lb) Ohlins spring. I believe it is a tad longer than the OEM spring so comes with more preload.
  12. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 2 Feb 2013 00:57 If you are doing a lot of commuting, go to a stock OEM 17 tooth sprocket from the 1998-2001 VFR800. Where I do alot of highway driving, I installed one on my 2007 VFR when I installed new sprockets/chain. drops RPM by…
  13. #46 Ducati in Venice Airport 22 Sep 2012 17:22 On the way home from Greek Isle cruise through the Venice airport I came across a small Ducati store in the airport. THis was sitting in the store. I presume it was a 2011 version due to ads around store. Stan Attached…
  14. DynaBead question 18 Apr 2012 15:45 Hi all, need some input from DynaBead users. This spring I installed a new set of BT-023 tires. I decided to try out the DynaBead option for balancing seeing as the shop that did my tires didn't have a setup for the VFR…
  15. Thinking about going down a tooth in the rear 17 Apr 2012 19:38 I went the +1 tooth in the front, an OEM 5th Gen sprocket. I am not worried about the "weekend" blitzing stuff, you can always shift down if needed, but more long distance driving anyway. The plus side is that the…
  16. VFR1200 vs 2005 Ducati ST4s 12 Feb 2012 23:46 I currently have a 2007 VFR800AT RWB with numerous add-ons. I have been thinking of upgrading to something a little bigger. Anyone have any experience with the Ducati ST4s? All reviews seem to be positive other than…
  17. Two Brothers Stash Exhaust 26 Dec 2011 16:21 I had a set on my 2002 VFR. It worked fine and has a nice rumble to it. I eventually switched it back to OEM because of 2 things. One, I did a lot of miles and after awhile the constant rumble just seemed to be too…
  18. 1999 ariete angled valve stem sale 3 Nov 2011 01:05 The way I read it is that you get 2 stems for the $19.99, is that correct?? I ordered 1 set but might get another for my spare set of wheels.

Stop with the worry, stop with the stress....Just order yourself a VFRNess! 21 Oct 2011 20:47 Yes, I put a VFRness on my 2007 earlier this year, still has original battery and no apparent problems.

  31. Elka Suspension Group Buy - Anti-recession pricing 26 Jul 2010 18:25 Is there a chance you can get replacement springs from Elka? If so, what would be the price on a 1100 lb/in spring? I bought a used Elka from a guy on this forum and it came with an 850lb/in spring. PM me. Thanks.
  32. Elka response to spring rate question 20 May 2010 19:27 If they're saying a different spring to replace the original 850 on a used shock is $110; that's fine. If they're saying a different spring other than the 850 on a new shock is an additional $110 to the purchase price…
