- Any experience with Tech Spec tank grips? I went with the stomp grips. I've had them on for years, race bikes and both vfrs. I ride year round, and they haven't moved a bit (maybe I'm not in a warm enough climate?). I've found that extra care in application…

- MADE A DEAL FOR A NEW VFR 1200 Many congrats! Ride safe. :comp13:
- I want a RWB paint job! I'm with Tightwad. I'd find a new leftover RWB at a motivated dealer and buy at a deep discount. Or, I'd consider buying used from a motivated seller. The paint job route and aftermarket plastics won't get you the black…
- AM-FM Antenna mounting If you ever consider the satellite route, i velcroed my sirius antenna on the tail: http://www.vfrdiscus..._3229_24271.jpg

- Lane Splitting W/luggage That's why I commute with a bungee net attached to the oem racks. Makes navigating morning and evening traffic a whole bunch easier. The duffel/backpack carries everything I need. Like other posters, I use the oem bags…

- Sixth Generation At The White House Ok, who has it? I was running by the WH today and saw a perfectly perfect candy red parked inside the grounds. Could it be that VFRD has made it inside the house of power? :ohmy:
