  1. Fog Or Spot Lights 5 Apr 2016 17:05 What's with that terrible blue rim tape? :laughing6-hehe: :goofy: That first one is quite a clever and creative photo, Dutchy! Since you like it, here is one more! [image: waves_zps6a92483f.jpg]
  2. Making A Run From Memphis To Mountain View, Ar This Weekend. 1 Apr 2016 21:24 I'm highly annoyed right now. Running 2+ hours behind, due to trying to grab lunch before picking up the bike to come home and pack it up... Plus luckily I called Blanchard Springs and they are closed due to high water,…
  3. Making A Run From Memphis To Mountain View, Ar This Weekend. 29 Mar 2016 21:12 gswanson Forget the backpacking, head over to Push Mountain, Hwy 341. Spend as much time there as you can. Wonderful road. So I asked a friend about what roads to ride while I'm there, and he said the same thing! 341…
  4. Making A Run From Memphis To Mountain View, Ar This Weekend. 29 Mar 2016 20:52 As of right now, I'm planning a quick jaunt from Memphis to Mountain View, AR Friday afternoon and home Saturday evening. Not sure what I hope to get out this thread, except putting my plan to paper as a double-check on…
  5. Another Oil Thread...ooooooh Noooooo 29 Mar 2016 14:45 I ended up taking the auto oil back for Castrol 4T 20w-50 motorcycle oil. I'm not trying to squeak every last HP out at this point, I just want a solid oil change, as I'm trying to sell her. :|
  6. Another Oil Thread...ooooooh Noooooo 28 Mar 2016 19:53 This has got to be the most confusing subject I've every tried to research. I'm just trying to figure out if the 10w-40 Castrol GTX Synth Blend will kill my beloved Gen 3.
  7. 4Th Annual Hog Tie - Sep 25-27 8 Jun 2015 13:42 I want to keep up with this thread, fingers crossed I can make it over for my first actual group ride.
  8. Different Strokes 2 Jun 2015 18:06 Well said, and glad to hear it was a safe and fun little trip. Btw, what's the red brake light looking-thingy on the right side? Camera?
  9. Engine Temperature 1 Jun 2015 13:42 I feel so much more heat coming from the right side of the bike (exhaust, regulator, more exhaust) that I've never thought to check the outside temp on the stator cover...
  10. Teaser 29 May 2015 14:02 Looks good to me. Real nice. I've thought about trying to dip my cycling helmet.
  11. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 28 May 2015 14:12 Gorgeous bike and master craftsmanship! What are your thoughts on the modded CBR exhaust now that you've put some miles on it?
  12. 2015 Photo Scavenger Hunt 22 May 2015 15:26 Unexpected AND neat. What's next up?
  13. Looking For A Recommendation On Summer Gauntlets 15 May 2015 20:12 I wore my Cortech Air Latigo gloves all through last summer in Memphis, and I never really found them to be "too hot" at all. I know it's not the same glove in question, but I have become a fan of Cortech in general.
  14. 2015 Photo Scavenger Hunt 15 May 2015 15:51 No one wants to play this year.... :(
  15. Helmet Mount For Sony Action Cam? 15 May 2015 14:51 Conedodger said it best... You don't even know it's there. Another plus for the sticky mount on a light cam, is that if you DO crash and somehow hang the cam on something.. It'll come off (in a good way).
  16. Helmet Mount For Sony Action Cam? 14 May 2015 12:18 I've had my Contour on a sticky side mount for about a year now with zero issues. And the Contour lens rotates to fix the angle. Not a sales pitch, just saying. :-)
  17. 90-93 High Level Exhaust, Group Buy 13 May 2015 15:03 Was this referring to only the mid-pipe? or a mid-pipe/muffler combo?
  18. 94 Cafe Project 13 May 2015 15:01 I think you are right about the Maggot. I was curious how it sounded also, but I'd guess it's close to an open header. Not really practical for me around town.
  19. Best Noise Isolating Earbuds / Earphones For Inside Helmet Use? 9 May 2015 01:54 I thought I was the only one! The only time I listen to anything, is when I'm on the highway for a while. Then it's usually comedy podcasts or instrumental music. The reason I don't listen to music is because it makes…
  20. I Took A Skills Class 8 May 2015 13:47 This wasn't a safety class at all. It was a "how to weave around the right little cones without putting your feet down". :) And it was at the local harley dealer for free. The attractive lady is wife of the shop GM and…
  21. I Took A Skills Class 8 May 2015 05:00 Nice. *insert 2 fingers dirty comment here * Couple more pics from the dealers fb page. [image: b29ffdb97f655540371ba6a6039cc18c.jpg] [image: c51884d5efe1fa7e5b3197f2f9c00ab7.jpg]
  22. I Took A Skills Class 8 May 2015 03:30 I like being special. :) And that top box is a game -changer. So handy and I can't see it when I'm riding, so I don't care what it looks like.
  23. I Took A Skills Class 8 May 2015 02:43 Thanks. She's got many hours of labor and love to get to this point. It was almost comical. The guy leading kept making references back to the sport bike that's here tonight. And he had an RC51 in the past, so he's not…
  24. I Took A Skills Class 8 May 2015 02:26 A friend invited me to the local harley shop for a Skills Class tonight. So it was me and about 25 Hogs. :) Had a great time. Learned some good low speed control. And saw make improvement in myself. Pics below but I got…
  25. Questions About Motogp At Indianapolis Speedway 5 May 2015 16:23 Now yall have my mental gears turning... Gotta figure out how to make this trip happen.
  26. 2015 Photo Scavenger Hunt 5 May 2015 00:40 Seems all we have are silver around here. Not my house btw. [image: e70e4f183038a8a498b5959573bf4234.jpg] Next : your bike in front of a construction site with heavy equipment!
  27. 2015 Photo Scavenger Hunt 1 May 2015 20:05 Not really what I had in mind.. but save that one for your own challenge after you get a pic in front of an actual government (management) office. :unclesam: Does a public university count as a government building?
  28. 2015 Photo Scavenger Hunt 1 May 2015 18:59 I hope this gets more participation this year, so I'm restarting it. :) Gives another reason to just go ride sometimes! Rules are : First person posts a photo challenge Yall try to complete the challenge and post the…
  29. 4Th Gen Hi-Lo Mount Mufflers 1 May 2015 14:55 Yes! 3rd Gen! I've been thinking along Dutchy's idea of buying a beat up OEM, just to steal the flange, then having a muffler shop bend the mid pipe for me.
  30. Smart Phone Handle Bar Mount 21 Apr 2015 21:27 I've also wondered about how tightly the Xmounts would hold the phone. Are they secure enough to handle cross winds and hard corning G's? I'm using a Ram with specific iPHone 5s mount, but I have to take off my phone…
  31. My Vfr's 10 Feb 2015 22:30 I actually like the white with red scheme, more than the red with white. :) Both look great!
  32. The "egg On Your Face" Thread 5 Oct 2014 12:29 Knock wood, salt over the left shoulder, four leaf clovers all day... I haven't had a major EOF yet. And now that I've jinxed THAT by saying it... The biggest "well that was stupid" type moment was when I thought I…
  33. Wettest Ride Of My Life 3 Oct 2014 17:01 Safe and sound. Plus temps were still in the upper 80's so I wasn't cold. Tonight I'll ride again, no rain but temps are dropping to the 40's!!! Time to layer up.
  34. Wettest Ride Of My Life 3 Oct 2014 16:37 I ref HS football and generally have about an hour commute to get to the fields on Thursday and Friday nights. I've only taken my suburban once all season because I would rather load up and take the VFR. Who wouldnt,…
  35. 1992 Vfr Stunt Cage? 30 Sep 2014 20:08 Pretty impractical for me living in Memphis, but damn that's cool!!!!
  36. Is A Hot Frame Normal? 20 Aug 2014 16:59 I'm in a diff situation, being on a gen 3. But I also have right side frame sizzle. That's why I thought it was related to the SSSA or something g inherent to the vfr.
  37. Is A Hot Frame Normal? 20 Aug 2014 15:42 Any other ideas why only the right side is notoriously hot on Vfrs?
  38. Is A Hot Frame Normal? 20 Aug 2014 14:14 I was told that it's a trait of the SSSA. Maybe due to the exhaust routing around the right side? Dunno, but one gets damn hot also.
  39. Hog Tie Attendance List 5 Aug 2014 13:14 Reservation has been made. Help us fill up the HUB! 1) Yokel 2) this guy 3) Me... Rush 4) huntinggunns 5) VcFR + 3 (possibly more) 6) Gloryracing 7) Dutch +1 8) 00Yeller 9) DeerSlayer (Maxswell) 10) gswanson 11)…
  40. Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... 31 Jul 2014 11:38 As much as this seems like a VFR specific conversation... I'd bet money that every major forum dedicated to a single model of bike has the exact same threads going on every year.
  41. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 28 Jul 2014 15:20 He said... "I have a replica NR in red, one in white and one in black"... in French...
  42. Quit A Different 3Rd Gen 23 Jul 2014 20:06 Not in love with the front or back, but the middle looks great.
  43. 1993 Front Wheel Bearing P/n 21 Jul 2014 19:11 Yeah. They say KML on the seals. Haven't gotten to install yet.
  44. 1993 Front Wheel Bearing P/n 20 Jul 2014 21:19 Meaning no maintenance required before I install.
  45. 1993 Front Wheel Bearing P/n 20 Jul 2014 20:34 Dimensions match up. And... I just realized the compatibility is on the label. DOH. Next question... Are these sealed or pre-lubed or what? I expected to have to pack them when I installed. [image: 8a5egymy.jpg]
  46. 1993 Front Wheel Bearing P/n 20 Jul 2014 15:39 Thanks. I'll check them when I get home.
  47. 1993 Front Wheel Bearing P/n 20 Jul 2014 12:55 Before I install these, can anyone confirm the PN? I ordered All Balls 25-1077 based on compatibility chart from eBay. But I also saw another chart that didn't include this PN. [image: ne9uzygu.jpg]
  48. What A Great Day! 15 Jul 2014 17:41 Very Nice.
  49. Delkevic 9" 11 Jul 2014 19:26 I think it looks just about perfect, since the wheel is black also. it blends and doesn't draw your eyes away from the rest of the bike.
  50. Delkevic 9" 10 Jul 2014 21:09 Looks good to me.
