  1. WANTED - 7th Gen VFR1200F HeliBars (Non DCT) 24 Jun 2020 04:07 Looking for HeliBars in decent shape for my 2010 VFR1200F. Need the manual (Non DCT) version. Would also be interested in a Spiegler/ LSL Handlebar Conversion. Please DM me if you can help me out. Thanks! -- Andrew
  2. Steering damper on a VFR 1200 - pro's and con's 25 Mar 2017 02:12 On a more specific note I can vouch for "Toby" as a steering Damper - I had one on my 2000 R6 back in the day. That R6 had a short wheelbase and was known for being a little skittish - especially in the head shake…
  3. OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? 19 Mar 2017 03:42 Just creeped your FB post and saw the windscreen - looks very much like what I'm looking for. Time to place an order. Thanks again Sir!
  4. OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? 19 Mar 2017 01:53 lshark, 17/02/2017 at 0:21 AM i've had the Zero G SR Dark Smoke shield on both of my VFR1200s.....exact same shape as stock...it def covers up the water spotting in the lower part of the shield ....good quality, i…
  5. Slip On ? 8 Feb 2017 03:00 lshark, 03/02/2017 at 7:59 AM the law is "keep right except to pass" I assume you guys are referring to double lane highways, because in my expeditions to the US anything more than 2 lanes becomes a free-for-all.…
  6. OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? 28 Jan 2017 02:44 Personally I noticed a difference with the OEM Deflector. It's not a night-and-day difference by any means, but I prefer it. Some great ideas and opinions - so have any of you guys mounted the OEM Deflector alongside…
  7. OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? 27 Jan 2017 02:46 Has anybody tried this? I was considering the ZG SR Series Dark Smoke windscreen, which is advertised as having the same dimensions as stock. Has anybody run this screen or any other with the add-on deflector? The…
  8. New Member - New Questions 20 Jan 2017 02:43 I own an RC, the 1200 and an ST - so by design my garage contains 3 levels of bar height. The stock VFR is the sweet spot IMO. The RC clip-ons are high compared with modern supersports, but still are not exactly touring…
  9. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 8 Jan 2017 04:17 mattindenver, 03/01/2017 at 2:16 PM You have my dream garage. I have the RWB, ST1300 and even the AreoStich just missing the 1200F and the RC 51 Hayden edition of course... You are a lucky man. Thank You Sir! I sold my…
  10. 1200 test ride? 31 Dec 2016 06:34 ^^I thank you kind sir - that was the idea - I grew up on inline 4 supersports and went in search of something different, and being a "Honda Guy" the Honda V's have been very rewarding. Honda is king of the V4 (and…
  11. 1200 test ride? 30 Dec 2016 05:57 I own a VFR1200 and an ST1300 and really enjoy them both. I wanted something to do longer rides on, and expand my motorcycling horizons - and the ST is perfect for that task. I've ridden that thing multiple times for…
  12. Nova Scotia VFR Riders 30 Dec 2016 05:29 Thanks for the reply gentlemen! You can never have too many riding contacts. I have no experience with the cannonball runs whatsoever - but they sound like a decent time
  13. Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 13 Dec 2016 05:26 bitNine, 01/12/2016 at 10:49 AM I've been changing up the toys in the last year, and cold my CBR600RR awhile back, and bought a nice new liter quad as the dirt toy. I have a 2012 Yamaha WR450 that I'm going to sell in…
  14. Slip On ? 24 Sep 2016 12:17 The Akra was easily my second choice. They're usually my 1st as IMO between they're performance, fit and finish, and substantial racing pedigree (have a look at any WSBK starting grid in the last 7 years) they have…
  15. OEM wind deflectors 23 Sep 2016 00:24 I bought mine with them installed. The adhesive attachment is a non-issue. They're never coming off, fit great, and very much look like they're supposed to be there. Infact I don't like the look of the front without…
  16. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 23 Sep 2016 00:06 CasualSwede, 19/09/2016 at 11:36 PM As a current 6th gen RWB owner, I've been kicking around the idea of moving to the 1200 for next season, and this probably seals the deal... Not to mention the RC51 side piece, but…
  17. T-Rex Racing 2010 - 2015 Honda VFR1200F DCT Luggage Side Saddle Bag Protector Guards 12 Sep 2016 00:36 It doesn't appear to me as if the guard sticks out beyond the side of the case? Although I assume it does given the description and the intended purpose. The aesthetics aren't too bad
  18. Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts 4 Sep 2016 14:08 I just bought mine 4 weeks ago with the recall already performed, and I haven't noticed anything of note whatsoever from the driveshaft in my 1000+kms. And while I dont have experience with the 1200 prior to the recall,…
  19. Nova Scotia VFR Riders 4 Sep 2016 11:24 Gentleman (and potentially Ladies) I just wanted to see who all owns a VFR here in 'New Scotland' with the goal of identifying and cataloging who's around in the hopes of meeting/riding/discussing etc I'm Andrew, 32…
  20. Continental? 4 Sep 2016 00:37 bayarearider, 01/09/2016 at 1:47 PM Can't go wrong with the t30 evo GT for feel, bite and wear (plus current $50 refund thru end of Sept.) Agree with all of this but I'm unsure of the "GT" fitment for our application.…
  21. Continental? 31 Aug 2016 21:24 I see your Colorado weather sir, and I up you East Coast Canadian weather 😂 If you're riding PP3's now, you'll get better cold weather traction with the T30 Evo. If inclement weather is your primary concern the PR4…
  22. Continental? 31 Aug 2016 19:46 You're not going to get any decent mileage out of a full sport tire. I don't have any experience with Continental but I've been enjoying the Bridgestone T30 Evo, and it's been wearing well. Also significantly cheaper…
  23. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 31 Aug 2016 02:01 We should clarify this point to keep this thread as a useful resource for future parties interested in the VFR1200 (after they sort through the gratuitous RC51 pron 😍) Is the 2012 gauge more accurate? Are the added…
  24. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 30 Aug 2016 02:34 swimmer, 28/08/2016 at 7:46 PM I think the important thing for a fuel gauge is that it's repeatable which for my VFR it is absolutely is. With enough experience you'll know what your range will be like once the low fuel…
  25. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 30 Aug 2016 02:28 RC1237V, 28/08/2016 at 10:24 PM Does everyone with a 7th Gen have an RC51? I better go out and get one! I rode the 3rd gen again today, and boy does it "feel" slow. I was keeping up with my buddies, but it took a LOT…
  26. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 28 Aug 2016 20:37 Back to the original topic of the thread - I had read poor reviews and commentary on gas mileage and the gas gauge. I've done approximately 4 tanks and I'd say I've been getting about 230kms of mixed use riding before…
  27. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 28 Aug 2016 20:19 I know you can fit it in one of the cases, I had assumed I was successful on the left, but maybe it was actually on the right. I'll have to verify that once and for all, but if that's been the observation for you guys…
  28. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 28 Aug 2016 12:27 8 hours ago, RC1237V I found my hand went numb because the throttle return spring is so stong and after 20 minutes your grip gets fatigued by gripping so hard. I use the cramp Buster as well........make sure the factory…
  29. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 28 Aug 2016 04:02 Kudos on your RC sir. It looks immaculate - crazy clean! Thank you for the compliment on the garage. When I moved in a year and a half ago it was just a wide open white space with occasional wall stains and small holes…
  30. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 28 Aug 2016 03:14 Sold my much loved '03 model last week and picked up a mint condition 2010 model with only 12k (kms). As we know there are not many of these around and so I had to rely on reviews and your guys' impressions for a lot of…
  31. Slip On ? 28 Aug 2016 01:56 Artfulkatana, 10/08/2016 at 5:02 PM Two brothers is cheap, get what you pay for there. Just my $0.02 Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk I thought this for a long time too, but 2Bros was almost the only name brand…
  32. Need Electrical Connector Help 26 Jan 2015 01:50 Thanks to both of you for the links! Maybe I'll have to send a picture of the 06 socket to one of those sites and use their expertise to see if they have an appropriate connector. Luckily I have until at least early…
  33. Need Electrical Connector Help 25 Jan 2015 02:30 I had considered the possibility that they used this socket again somewhere down the line in 2 wheels or 4, but without a little direction I could spend the rest of my life looking through parts microfiche's :p Out of…
  34. Need Electrical Connector Help 24 Jan 2015 23:18 Back From The Dead!! I am currently in the exact same predicament, and I've searched and searched. Did anyone ever arrive at a connector solution? That glue is resilient and I'd love to do minimal hacking of that crazy…
