- 8Th Gen Exhaust Can On A 5Th Gen? Interesting their website doesn't show any options for VFR's other than the VFR1200X.
- 8Th Gen Exhaust Can On A 5Th Gen? Do they make a shorter can than that? Might consider one for my other VFR...
- 8Th Gen Exhaust Can On A 5Th Gen? Delkevics mufflers are built fine for the price point. Comparing it to a 1000$ Ak system is like getting upset your KLR doesn't have the same features that your R1200GS has. I'm on my third Delky pipe on 2 different…

- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) That was most excellent Ken.
- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) I doubt my VFR will make it. Found out today I'm going to need to re do the front brake calipers, and might as well do the rear too!

- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) 5 minutes ago, Trace Ben, I don't think you should waste another minute of your time worrying about this issue (that I generated). Your decision-tree for staying at the Greene is spot-on, and you are correct that it…
- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) I have avoided areas like Bryson City, which is near Franklin, as Tmac covers that section of the state pretty well. Moving north allows for equally great roads, but different scenery. The location in Boone has…

- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) Doubtful Mark. Mtn City is a pretty tiny town with relatively little going on. I usually just top off the tank there and head up to the Snake.
- My German VFR Well, it WAS a pretty great bike. The transmission got worse during Tmac. Bad shifts, jumping out of gear, etc... and half way way through the week I low sided it into a guard rail. I was unhurt thankfully. I'm going to…
- Dyna beads fail with pics I don't even balance my tires anymore. Third set now with no balancing and they wear and ride perfect just fine. (2 sets of PP3's and a set of M7RR's im on now)
