All 49- Yet Another Lsl Handlebar Install Well I guess I may chime in here too.... After spending a good bit of time with my LSL bars, I have absolutely no regrets installing mine. Last good ride I had on mine up in the mountains, they were great for all day…
- Second Bike To Complement Mine? If I was not closing on a house next week, I could talk my wife into letting me have a second bike. I have thought really hard about finding an old Sportster to tear apart and build back up into something that just…
- Charleston To The Dragon We made it up there okay. We did make a last minute change of plans as to where we were staying. And since the temps got lower at night than what we were planning for, my buddy and my wife talked me into trailering the…
- Charleston To The Dragon Switchblade.... If you see my black VFR with OEM bags and an old Yamaha FJ1200 together, that will be us! We are thinking of playing around on the Dragon on Friday and Saturday we will be riding everywhere else. Leaving…
- Charleston To The Dragon I have plenty of ibuprofen packed, I sure hope don't need too much if it! Edited October 14, 2015 by rigger4343
- Charleston To The Dragon Well I am leaving Friday morning at 7am from Charleston, SC and headed up to camp at the Iron Horse and ride the surrounding area this weekend. Meeting a long time buddy up there that I have not seen in years and the…
- Cruise Control I just put a Go-Cruise on mine not long ago. I have not had a chance to use it much yet but I like it so far. My Dad's old BMW has real cruise control and I do have to say that I like it! Attached Images [image:…
- My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process I have not read this entire thread but I have to say that I think what you did there is awesome! The bike looks great and you should be very proud of your work.
- Well. . . I Caved Somebody mentioned leg more leg room for the passenger on the VFR... I found that to be true myself. When I was looking at bikes, that was one of the reasons I wanted another one because of the passenger leg room. More…
- Bar Conversion I did a LSL bar conversion on my VFR and love it! I think you will enjoy it.
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. After a doing a charity ride with a bunch of other bikes one day, I decided my bike was way to quiet! So after a bunch of research, I decided to do the stage two free exhaust mod. Well mine is more like a Stage 2.5…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Well I got to play on the new tires for a little while yesterday. All I can say is that if I had known the bike would have improved as much as it did, I would have made this change a year ago! Big improvement in the…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Most have told me they lasted a good long while. One guy even told me he got over 10,000 miles on his. But I guess it all depends on how you ride, your loads and other conditions as well. Weather is looking good here…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. I started looking at tires lately and the more I looked and asked for suggestions, the more I started to not like the Shinko tires that were on it. Not that they have ever done anything really bad but I know there are…
- My Woman Is Really Cool! [image: post-28936-0-48646200-1426204439.jpg] Hey I know where that is . Top of the Dragon.
- My Woman Is Really Cool! Now we know for a fact she is a keeper!!! Now if you truly love her go get her gloves, riding pants and boots. C She has all her own gear now. First thing I did years ago was get her a helmet, gloves and jacket of her…
- My Woman Is Really Cool! Guess the dollar value thing was not really a fair thing to mention. I know a ring would cost way more than tires would! She is not one to really care about having big jewelry or lots of clothes. She enjoys riding with…
- My Woman Is Really Cool! My girlfriend and I have been together for close to three years now. We have both been married and divorced. We both have our own daughters that are the same age, (they are actually how we met). Neither one of us have…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. I have actually started to keep my eye out for an 8 spoke now. I do like they way they look but I cant see that 8 spoke wheel when I am cruising the back roads so it is not too big of a priority for me. It would be cool…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Very nice--the picture with your little girl really shows how awesome that black paint is on the tank. Another happy customer. When I first found this bike, I was kind of thinking I would not care for the black all that…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Very nice example! . Thank you.
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. I forgot to mention my levers! I wanted to change out my levers just for something different and found these cheap ones on eBay. I know they are cheap Chinese levers but for the money, they are great. More adjustable…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. As much as I liked my soft bags, I still wanted hard luggage for my bike. I kept my eyes open and thought of many possible options but OEM bags were still my top choice. Well one day I took a look at the classified…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Last fall my wonderful girlfriend and I took the VFR up to NC for a long weekend trip. We had a great ride and the bike worked very well for us but I then saw I needed to make some more changes. First thing was some…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Just noticed as I am writing this that the pictures and what I am writing are not laying out like I wanted them to so if the post looks a little confusing, I apologize ahead of time. It is suppose to be short separate…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. When it warmed up some, I got to get a better feel for the bike and decided to start doing some things to the VFR. I did not like the red stripes so off they came. I did not like the red tank protector so off it came.…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. I had a 97 VFR750 back in 1998 and loved that bike but do to being poor at that time in my life, I was not able to keep her for very long. But she was always a favorite of mine and when I saw a 6th Gen for the first…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr It was easy, just bolted the the long bracket right where it was suppose to go in the first place and mounted the plate to the cross brace. I just dont have any of the OEM fender parts, PO took them off when he tucked…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr wgregt Damn right! If you solved it, show us how! Don't be shy! If you really want me to, will do a short write up on it and try to get a few better pics for you.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Here are a couple but they don't show much detail. I just got these on the bike a few weeks ago. I actually just used all the OEM frame mounting hardware and used a little aluminum flat bar to make a plate mount. And a…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Its really no problem at all to mount the hard bags if your plate is tucked up. I just did it to mine. My plate was tight up in between the pipes and I had no factory fender. I was able to to use almost all the OEM…
- exhaust modification 6Th Gen New Way To Modify The Exhaust - 3 Baffle To 1! Looks pretty cool.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr I figured you guys would not mind one or two with my Russian gal next to the VFR. One was a ride out to the beach and the other is her trying out the new Sargent seat.
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? So far I have no regrets at all about doing the conversion. I spent a lot of time reading other riders inputs on them and trying to compare to my ride style. Also spent a lot of time sitting on other bikes and comparing…
- Completed My Lsl Handlebar Conversion Got to take the bike for about a 2-3 hour ride today so I thought I might write a little update about the bars. I took the bike on some back roads, a little bit of higher speed 4 lane road, (about 70mph) and some stop…
- Completed My Lsl Handlebar Conversion I saw that video too but I don't like the way his cables run. It looks like his run on top of the frame and then I assume they drop down with a hard bend to where you hook them up. You can kind of see how I ran mine but…
- Completed My Lsl Handlebar Conversion Took my daughter on the bike around the neighborhood today for only about 15 minutes or so but I think this is going to be a nice set up. I may play a little with adjusting the bars, just rolling them a tad one way or…
- Completed My Lsl Handlebar Conversion Well I finished up the LSL Bar conversion this afternoon so I thought I would post up some pictures and do a little write up for those of you that have not done one yet. When I first got the kit and opened the box I…
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? Well my kit did not come in Friday like I was hoping it would. Looks like Tuesday now according to tracking. I have my daughter next week so it may be the following week before I can get it on the bike due to all the…
- 2198 Miles Through The Alps Very, very cool !
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? I will watch out for all than when I get the kit in. From my research, it just takes a good re-rout of cables and stuff but all the stock lines and such are suppose to work. With their kits and other bikes, if brakes…
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? Well I ordered an LSL handlebar conversion for it. I went with this because after hearing back from the guys at LSL and them giving me a rough idea of the pull back and rise, they will sit the closest to the same angles…
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? Another question for you guys.... I have been looking around on the web and it seems that pretty much everyone sells the Heli Bars at about $300. Is there anyone out there that has them for less? I have been watching…
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? I looked on Ebay for the bar kit but I guess I missed it. I could not find it on there now. Thanks a lot for the feedback guys. I really appreciate it. It would be great if I could try some of the different setups on…
- Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? I know there are a lot of guys out there that have said they love the Heli bars on the VFR but I have not read much about the handlebar conversion. Does anyone have any experience with something like the Spiegler…
- Vfr All "adv'd" - Knobbies Mounted (Tkc80S) - Ultimate "do Everything" Ride? I think it is pretty cool. But I think anything that is a little more dirt oriented is cool. Guess I get that because I grew up with dirt bikes. I don't know how many times I tried to take my Buell XB9R in the dirt, or…
- I Love My Delkevic. :) Quick opinion question here..... I am leaning towards either saving a few bucks and buying a set of these for my VFR or doing the old hole saw method to her. Just looking for opinion on the sound. Does one sound better…
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 Few weeks ago I was on the way to work, I crossed one road to go play on another for just a minute and at my surprise, the VFR pulled the front end off the ground with nothing more than just getting on the throttle! I…
- 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? After reading through this thread, it makes me think that maybe I should look into a few things on my bike. I finally got to run a full tank through it since I got it home last month and she only pulled 34mpg out of the…
