Last 50 of 75- Would Anyone Here Who Lives In Indiana And Also Be Willing To Let Me Test Ride Their Bike? Beautiful bikes you got there! I think you'd be hard pressed not to fall in love with the 5th Gen viffer, IMO the best generation! Having said that, I'd bet most guys here would sooner let you ride their wife than their…

- Nyack, New York, Looking Out Along Water To Tappan Zee Bridge I dont think they've come out with toll prices for the new Tappan Zee bridge now being constructed. I'm sure the $5 toll will seem like a bargain.

- Replacement Horn correct, brake lights, see complete thread.... http://www.vfrdiscus...ee-me-stopping/
- Replacement Horn FJ12Ryder.... yup, they're the correct LED's for the 5th Gen...find someone with small hands for the backlights, it's a little tight and they are polarity specific but won't burn out if installed backwards.…
- Replacement Horn A sound argument can be made that all switches will fail inevitably... but don't go tooting your hella too much or a little pitting will be the least of your worries... [image: 100_6919_zpsmhty14wc.jpg]
- Replacement Horn highly recommend going the LED route for brake & blinkers... easy upgrade that's much brighter (safer) than stock... the combined lower current draw may offset possible need for horn relay...…
- Popularity Of Vfr's I'll bet if you compared the number of hogs in US verse GB it would be a much different story. I chuckle when peeps ask what is it? Italian? Ducati? Nope it's the gentleman's CBR :tongue2:
- Replacement Horn It's a Hella horn and yes it's made in Germany... Unbelievable for $10... http://www.vfrdiscus...ou-hear-me-now/
- How Many 5Th Genners Bought Theirs Brand New? Try Photobucket or Dropbox url links... Should work fine
- Looking To Buy Another Vfr After 8 Years I have to agree with MaxSwell..... :wheel:
- Current And Winter Mods To Date Love all the mods but for Christ's sake lose the bra.... it's so 80's! :tongue:
- Broken Frame: Is This Fatal? How did that happen? :wacko:
- Sad Day But I'm Lucky Feel better knowing it could have been much much worse. In a couple months hopefully this will be just a distant memory. In the mean time flexoral muscle relaxers work great
- How Many 5Th Genners Bought Theirs Brand New? Or feel free to post about your purchase... I found my ruby on Craigslist in Connecticut. The gentleman also had a Harley that he barely had time to ride. The bike was described perfectly, negotiated a fair deal and…

- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping what do you mean they're very bright?! :unsure: [image: 1_zps3b6e6a21.jpg]
- 6Th Gen Fill Up Questions/tips? Today my 5th gen (1999) went from 2 bars to "blinking" within minutes.... shot over to gas station and filled 4.3 gallons.... tanks holds 5.5 gallons so appears 1.2 gallon remained in tank??? :blink:
- Post your Voltmeter mount pics yes, it does vary quite a bit however in everyday riding it sits a little over 14v.... vfrness upgrade is working well :tour:
- Post your Voltmeter mount pics It was a breeze to install... tied into rear brake light.... looks factory! [image: post-30875-0-21198200-1409152758.jpg] [image: post-30875-0-00266600-1409152761.jpg] [image: post-30875-0-91918100-1409152764.jpg]…
- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping Fleabay, I have no affiliation with seller but happy consumer Rear brake lights (2) http://www.ebay.com/...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT turnsignals (4) http://www.ebay.com/...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping BusyLittleShop does very good work!
- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping Correct, no apparent resistors in the LEDs. Fast blinking is a non-issue on rear tail light. A flasher relay will fix turn signal speed.
- Nude Or Clear Tank Protector Bra? Very nice!!! I'm happy with Honda tank pad but probably would have gone this route. Thanks for the pics
- Looking For 5Th Gen Oem Parts So sorry to hear! Sounds like your ok which is what counts, bike parts are replaceble us not so much. I'm sure many us would like to hear what happened so we can learn from your experience. I have oem 99" mirrors,…
- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping The camera really doesn't do it justice.... in normal mode you wouldn't notice much difference from stock. but tap on that rear brake and nuthin but bright RED RED RED ! :fing02:
