All 27- 45 litre top box on 7th gen mount ridered, 4/10/2017 at 9:59 AM What seat did you have on your bike Alleyoop? Custom made in Tennessee. Best seat I've ever had. I could PM you the contact info of the maker.
- Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read If you think it's powerful and smooth now, just wait 'till you get the Guhl ECU flash. 1000% better! Make sure to tell him you have the Dam Exhaust.
- 45 litre top box on 7th gen mount I had a 2010 VFR1200. The 45L box isn't sold in the USA. So I ordered mine from England--along with the carrier bracket, back pad, and key cylinder! It requires previous installation of the rear carrier, which I was…
- Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT Full ad WITH PICTURES is in the Classified section here:
- Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT ridered, 12/14/2016 at 11:03 AM This is a great deal. I paid more and still had to add the 45L top box, heli bars, seat and rear shock. Has everything else. I would love that ohlins though. Why you selling such a fine…
- Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 38 minutes ago, bitNine It's crazy how good pics can make all the difference when selling. Those pics look awesome! Makes me want the bike even more now! I'm headed up this weekend to look at this one. Guy is holding…
- Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT Hey, bitNINE. I'll sell you mine! Just decided on it yesterday. Full suspension / full exhaust / flashed ECU / much more! Mileage 9700 I'm in the Florida panhandle. Unreal price! $7,995 Ohlins HO013 Rear Shock with…
- Center Stand Or Pitbull? I was able to replace both my front forks and rear shock with only a front triple tree stand and stock center stand. Just required a couple of 1" boards to get the rear wheel off the ground. [image: 44_150721.jpg]
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Interesting. Thank you. Just a few legitimate reports but certainly enough to confirm a problem and issue a recall. It must be a challenge for these manufacturers to manage the quality of components (like this universal…
- Suspension Questions I went with Ohlins for the rear. After talks with the USA Ohlins service rep, I decided on the Ohlins -79 spring (that's 1085lb/in)--that's one step stiffer than stock. I'm 185lb. The sag is 10mm at only two clicks out…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts I had my local Honda dealer order the recall kit and schedule a service appointment. I visited the dealer yesterday, and the new shaft was installed in about two hours. I now feel more healthy, wealthy, and sexy. And…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts I think the message is professional, informative, and helpful. The service staff are likely very busy. And the service person went to the trouble to search their purchase or repair records for your motorcycle then write…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear Hondavfr1200dct Dear Fellow Enthusiasts; I ran my 2010 DCT at Road Atlanta this past weekend, and up to that point had never really thought about the bog out of 2nd gear. I discovered the second gear bogging very soon…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Just installed the Helibars. I like them but have to say you better like the position, because there's only one! Between the fairing, mirrors, and fuel tank, there's got to be less than 5mm of free space for the…
- Ohlins Spring Rates My rider sag numbers with 185lb (naked) rider with all gear on (but no cargo or passenger) are currently 41mm front (two rings showing) 31mm rear (two clicks of preload) Good numbers. Those sag numbers aren't real…
- Vfr1200... I Did It My Way How'd you perform the tail bob? It looks great.
- Vfr1200... I Did It My Way Nice work! Very ingenious and tasteful. I was planning to have Sargent refoam my seat. I didn't know that you could order that particular stitching design. Really complements the bike's unique design.
- Dmr Sag Reference Front was about 46mm, rear was 37mm. I also got 46mm rider sag (also called ride height) on my front. That's with the stock fork springs and three lines showing. I'm sending the forks to Traxxion next week for a new…
- Dam......i Want That! Haven't removed the cat either. Not sure I will TBH. I'm on the fence regarding the de-cat. I'm sure it will sound more throaty and give slightly more performance. But removal job could be tricky and present some…
- Ohlins Spring Rates Here are some other factors to consider: Information from the Ohlins (Europe) website indicates that a very low preload adjustment may give a harsher ride, which would work against using a spring rate on the stiffer…
- Ohlins Spring Rates I wonder if the spring will settle any. The rear is sitting a little higher than I like. I had to remove all external preload and still could only get 30mm of sag with me on the bike (kitted). The bike alone gives only…
- Ohlins Spring Rates Okay, here are my numbers: 188lb rider, geared up, with top box. Rear shock and springs are stock. Rear Static Sag..........21mm Front Static Sag.........46mm Rear Ride Height........50mm Front Ride Height.......46mm…
- Ohlins Spring Rates Reviving this thread. 185lb rider here. I just got my Ohlins from Hard Racing. And they put an Ohlins -74 spring on it, which I find is the stock rate. Just curious about hearing the rider sag / ride height numbers and…
- Anyone Have Something Positive On The Vfr1200? I mean, almost ALL I read about in this forum and elsewhere is what a failure this bike is. I'm a new VFR1200 owner and struggling to understand all these threads pointing to negative opinions. It's unique in my forum…
- 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube As an FYI, some people wonder how much fuel from the previous customer we get at the pump. One of the bikes mags worked it out recently, and it came to just a little over a cup (10oz). A good amount but probably still…
- New and bigger OEM Honda Top Box (45 liter) DnBnntt For everyone's info, I gave my local powerhouse dealer a call and he was able to get them ordered through Honda USA. He said they won't ever be in the catalogue but can be ordered through their regional sales…
- New and bigger OEM Honda Top Box (45 liter) Can anybody tell me the part number for the 45L adapter plate? P.S. I found it: Carrier Bracket 45L Top Box 08L73-MGE-D40 http://issuu.com/ottobrandt/docs/hme_accessories_brochure_tourer_vfr Edited June 4, 2015 by…
