All 16- Input On Hard Luggage For 2012 Vfr1200 Dct The oem bags have mounts that are integral with the bodywork - no unsightly mounts when not using the bags. They're also heat shielded on the pipe side. I like the looks of them overall better than Givi - but Givi makes…
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options 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 the Ninja…
- Seat Recommendation? I've had quite a few of my many Corbins ordered "my way", and they've been very good seats with no need to be sent back for a tweak. They typically lower the seat pocket forming their standard 'dish', and I usually want…
- Lost A Side Case On My V12 does anyone here do extra to tether their bags to the bike? I just give them a good check to make sure they're not loose and are on secure before I take off. Not much you can do to tether them to the bike that will keep…
- Thinking Of Trading Fjr Ae For V12 I had an '07 FJR, put 34,000 miles on it in 20 months. One of my all time favorite bikes.....because it was sportier than the ST, cheap maintenance, etc. It's in my top five. So is bike #61, the VFR12. Like was said…
- Lost A Side Case On My V12 are you sure you have to buy the set of two? someone knocked my Guzzi 1200 Sport over while it was wearing it's Norge bags.....I was able to replace one bag easily, from Guzzi (made by Givi)
- Failed Final Drive/shaft Let's not get ahead of ourselves until we have more information or see more failures and can see the pattern. well said....everyone jumps on the old "Honda's quality sure has gone downhill" bandwagon when a single…
- Found A Brand New 7Th Gen, 2012, $10,999 Blackbird, DFW Honda sold all the $9,999 '12's. I came close to trading in my '10, but ultimately decided the extra cash didn't quite justify the additional features. These $10,9k '12s are at Al Lambs, which is related…
- Found A Brand New 7Th Gen, 2012, $10,999 Went into my local dealer on Friday to get a part. They have one 2012 left and it's priced at $10.9k. Just posting this up for anyone interested. Krisztian 972-839-1083 He said the last 4 were all out of state buyers…
- Can Someone Please Confirm The Gearing Issue On The 2012 Vfr? I haven't yet found proof, but it's my opinion that my 2012 does not have restrictions in 1st and 2nd gear - and that the TCS was implemented to take it's place. I had a ZX-14 that was restricted in the lower gears, and…

- Tank Bag Or Tail Bag? I have that same Held tailbag in the pics above....bought it for use on my Ninja 1000, great piece of luggage. I have about a dozen tankbags, and frequently travel out of a tankbag alone.... no bother undoing a couple…
- Tank Bag For The 1200 dgordon Givi Tanklock, if its available for your bike is absolutely the way to go. Simply an excellent product. NO scratches, and best convenience. http://www.revzilla.com/assets/0000/0281/Givi_Flange.pdf Flange BF03…
- Tank Bag For The 1200 I have several tankbags, one of the two magnetic ones will work - but is small enough to be just for day rides. Doesn't carry much. Surprisingly my favorite tankbag, a Wolfman Rainier (straps), works really well on the…
- VFR1200 Upgrades Put on a set of the Knight Designs footpegs, lowered the brake pedal as much as the adjusting nut would allow (enough)... Removed the little 'retaining rings' on the upper fork tubes, and raised the clip-ons about 1/2",…
- Oil Change I've had a few bikes with drain plugs pointing to the rear or side.... I just hold the plug against the hole for a few seconds while the initial gusher is coming out until it loses a bit of energy and drains down…
