All 22- VFR Sighting Saw another 5th gen today when I was out, May 21. I was heading east on Hwy 7 east of Port Perry, near Nestleton on my blue 5th gen with all my luggage on. I was travelling with a buddy on a CBR125. Other bike was red,…
- Interesting Beginner Bikes Two 80's Hondas immediately come to mind....the Hawk GT, a 650 V-twin, and the CB-1, 400cc I4. They're maybe a bit rare, but parts are still around and they meet my criteria as "interesting". The motor lived on for…
- 5th gen FZ257+PL161 Im going to say probably not. I think the arms of the FZ rack would block the access to the passenger handle mounts required for the 161 side racks. The current version, model PL257, side racks that match up with the FZ…
- 5th gen high mount 1 minute ago, slowbird Wow! I can't believe that highmount and side rack fits. I had a chance to buy a side case set last year but turned it down because I didn't think it would fit with my 2 bros highmount exhaust.…
- 5th gen high mount Weather finally warmed up enough that I could work in the shop. After some back and forth sourcing bolts, I got it mounted up. The supplied M8 bolt from GPR was too short to use with the spacer, and ended up having to…
- 5th gen high mount Thanks MBrane. Doesn't look like there is much, if any spacer in there. Im going to need a little bit to force the tip of the can inwards to clear the rack, so looks like I'll have to break out the old hacksaw. Not a…
- 5th gen high mount I feel like one of the bends isn't quite right. I put the muffler on last night and tried to flex the whole thing far enough to fit the spacer but couldn't do it. Maybe I'm missing something here....
- 5th gen high mount Forgot to add....Looks like Im going to have no clearance issues with the Givi PL257 tubular rack.
- 5th gen high mount So I have my GPR set up here, but I've hit a snag. On the instructions that came with it (Link: GPR High Mount Instructions ) it says "WRAP BIG CLAMP (5) AROUND SILENCER (4), PLACE BRACKET (6) FIXING ONE SIDE TO CLAMP…
- 5th gen high mount Awesome, thanks for the help!
- 5th gen high mount Looks good to me! Thanks for grabbing the pic. Two more questions, do you happen to know what the GPR part number is for your system? I see a couple Ti oval systems that appear to be the same but have different prices.…
- 5th gen high mount Thanks MBrane. I think GPR is going to be the way to go. They look good, and price seems decent. Any chance you have a shot from the direct rear?
- 5th gen high mount I see that BOS and Scorpion also made high level pipes in the recent past. Anybody have any info on a source for these? Still happy to take your Micron off your hands.....
- What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 20 hours ago, timmythecop Thats groovy. Givi took the E21 (that all agree is pretty fugly) and made those E22s. I love em. Thanks. I think the look pretty good. 22 litres per side, which is just big enough to stuff a…
- 5th gen high mount Thanks for the input guys. Cogswell, do you think the TBR link pipe will bring the muffler close enough to clear the inside of the tubular racks? Obviously, spacing the right side out a bit is a possibility. Also…
- What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? Givi E22s on one, mounted on PL257 tubular racks.
- 5th gen high mount Hi all, I'm getting ready to buy a high mount exhaust for my 5th gen. Thing is, I have a full set of Givi tubular racks. I understand that the micron system works with the racks, but those appear to be unobtainium,…
- Which Heated Grips? I installed the new version of the Honda OEM grips from the VFR1200, new 800 etc onto my 5th Gen. Switch is built into the edge of the left grip, three levels of heat. Used an Eastern Beaver relay harness (I think)…
- Hindle Mid Pipe + D&d Muffler I don't have an answer, but I am interested to know where you found a Hindle mid pipe.... https://hindle.com/p...ow_Out_Sale.pdf $99, call now they might have more. :) it's in Ontario as well My mistake, for some reason…
- Hindle Mid Pipe + D&d Muffler I don't have an answer, but I am interested to know where you found a Hindle mid pipe....
- Hey Northern Friends! Toronto to Kingston is properly the Loyalist Parkway, Thousand Island Pkwy is east of Kingston. Lots of nice sections. If you aren't already planning to do so, think about crossing into Prince Edward County at Trenton…
- Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen I installed the H4 bulbs from ADVMonster in mine. They only have a heatsink, no fan and I was able to fit the stock rubber boot over top of them. I've been happy so far. They seem bright and the beam pattern isn't too…
