  1. Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars 19 Oct 2016 18:30 I added the Helibars to my 2013 dct last year and it raised my torso sufficiently to make quite a difference to riding comfort. If I were to go to a lesser lean still, I think the extra wind exposure would become a…
  2. VFR1200F Lower footpegs from Knight Design now ready 15 Sep 2015 02:47 Photos show adjustable lower foot pegs from Thurn Motorsport, Germany. I have them set up for lowest position, fully 2" down from OEM pegs. I find them very comfortable. They do push out my feet somewhat,, but that…
  3. Mirror Extensions 31 Aug 2015 22:58 Yesterday I mounted the mirror extenders from SW-Motortech to my 2013 VFR1200 (see attached). Not the most elegant thing to behold but certainly effective. I now see more than my shoulders and elbows. Easy to install,…
  4. VFR1200F Lower footpegs from Knight Design now ready 10 Aug 2015 12:29 Ehviffer, Did you end up moving the levers on either bike to accommodate the lower foot position?
  5. Vfr1200 2015 5 Oct 2014 04:17 Like trying to settle arguments and differences of opinion via email at work. It almost never seems to work.
  6. Input On Hard Luggage For 2012 Vfr1200 Dct 3 Oct 2014 22:47 They have not leaked for me when parked outside in a shower, but I try not to ride in the rain, taking the cage instead. They do have a rubber gasket where the clamshells come together so I expect them to stay pretty…
  7. Input On Hard Luggage For 2012 Vfr1200 Dct 21 Sep 2014 05:10 I have Shad 43 bags. They match to the bike pretty well and are easily removed when not needed. Lockable and very spaceous, readily fitting helmet, riding jacket when parked, and briefcase, workout stuff when commuting.…
  8. Mirror Extensions 19 Sep 2014 03:12 andy I purchased the MoTech extenders from Twisted Throttle that look exactly like Duchy's and happy with the rear view. Duchy I noticed you have (factory??) fairing extenders. How do they help? Notice any wind noise…
  9. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 18 Sep 2014 03:33 What Gyice said, especially for the 2012 on, and especially at the deals that can be had currently. I was looking at buying a beemer tourer, but found the 2013 dct and could not resist at the price available ...
  10. Mirror Extensions 17 Sep 2014 22:52 I find the VFR1200 2013 mirrors are not too effective. I see my elbows but nothing of what is directly behind me. I do not have any such problem with my other bike (Honda CTX700), but its mirrors are positioned much…
  11. What Did You Do To Your Vfr12 Today? 2 Sep 2014 09:34 [image: IMG_20140814_164807_787_zps8f2ocnpj.jpg] Nice looking can! What is that?
  12. The Lazy Windscreen Removal method 26 Aug 2014 10:22 The ears are present to reduce vibrations? Provide a firmer mount? Folks take them off for convenience or they tend to break off through frequent on/off cycles?
  13. Too Much Oil? 25 Aug 2014 22:41 Got my new 1200 bike home, checked the oil and found the level to be too high in the sightglass. Drained off about 150cc, now at top line in sightglass. How bad is too much oil in this bike, anyway? Oops, wrong section…
