Last 50 of 194- 99 VFR800 - South Carolina 1999 Honda VFR800 36.7k miles Runs, shifts, rides great. Cosmetically challenged (previous owner left in carport, so right side plastics are sun faded. LCD screen has discoloration but still readable, small scratches…
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration So you have voltage at the fuse, but not at the other end of the wire at the engine stop relay? Try to follow the wiring, look for connectors, corrosion, etc Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration Okay, your black/pink at the engine stop relay should be a direct connection from fuse B. You should have battery voltage. Check both sides of Fuse B one more time Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration Okay, you are checking the brown and green wires, right? The one with blue wiring is the fuel tank sending unit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
- San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration It's pretty easy to tilt the tank and check your voltage at your fuel pump. You should see battery voltage during prime and cranking. This'll narrow the problem to inside the tank or to the bike. You can always jump 12…
- Should have got a VFR sooner!! Welcome. Arkansas? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride marriedman No adventure riding this this year dammit! Oh, come on. We could lead a procession of VFRs through the mud. I got to track down the video of you going all Charlie and Ewan. [image: P112014b4_zpsukut85xh.jpg]…
- Affordable all season pants? I can vouch for the Flex pants although my zipper broke. Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride I was already planning to be staying and riding with a group from another forum and basing out of Kickstand Lodge in Stecoah, NC. I'd sure enjoy meeting some of y'all, doing a little riding and getting a shirt.…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Glad to hear it man. Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Gotcha. Yeah, not totally sure of the purpose. Maybe, just maybe, it's to keep the fuel return from spraying away fuel from the strainer when you're really low on fuel? More of a diffuser? Sent from my LG-H900 using…
- 98 VFR Fuel Pump Frozen Here's my solution from when my strainer broke Removing the fuel pump to coat the tank, I broke the fuel pump straxiner, which is only available from Honda as a pump subassembly at $270. My other options were to find a…
- Arse friendly Sargent seat Actually, think about it like this, the more butt contact, the more spread out the weight. This way you don't have pressure points. The seats a bit wider as I'm a bit of a big boy. He'll shape it and size it to your…
- Arse friendly Sargent seat [image: IMAG0521_zpso8ntrzc6.jpg] Here's the seat. That 650 mile day was at the end of a week booking it home from New Mexico to South Carolina. Most days were around 500 miles. Very comfortable. I just got back from…
- Arse friendly Sargent seat Epyon, give thought to getting your stock seat redone. I had Seth Laam at Laam Seats do mine, and I love it! So much more comfortable, looks better, I can still move around a bit in the twisties. It was around $350, if…
- PRB's 3rd Annual Fall Ride (Oct. 6-9th @ Greene's Motel, Boone, NC) I'd love to make it but I'll be just getting back from Turkey. Not sure about being able to get time off that quick.
- Riding quotes Not a motorcycle specific quote, but as someone who loves long bike trips, "Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."…
- Bikes, Billfolds, Brotherhood If yall are curious what kind of road - it's this one - not my video. It was much muddier when we went through. https://youtu.be/_tqYX-ZqD2s?t=1m23s
- Offline GPS for IOS Any reason you're stuck on an iPad? I used an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 I bought for $20 and it worked great.
- Bikes, Billfolds, Brotherhood Interestingly enough, my wallet was found by someone. All I know is that I got an envelope in the mail with just my driver's license and a handwritten note that said, Found in Franklin, NC. No card activity thankfully,…
- Bikes, Billfolds, Brotherhood “A dark and stormy night.” Perhaps one of the most clichéd opening lines in all of English literature, this phrase still manages to evoke a sense of foreboding. Ready to leave the house, a quick look at the radar could…
- Offline GPS for IOS Squamishvfr I'm interested to know what people have to say about the current offerings for loading GPS navigation onto an i-pad and slip that into my tank bag. I'm after route planning and turn by turn navigation…
- Dyna beads fail with pics If you do want to use beads, don't spend the money for Dynabeads. Pick up Airsoft BBs anywhere.
- Helmet-friendly bluetooth earbuds? marriedman I've had no luck in this area either, so I am curious what people are going to say. I personally use my Shure corded earplugs with a bluetooth controller at the moment. But I still would like to do away with…
- Time For All Dogs To Be Dead Ultimatevfr Ryan, great job! Enjoyed reading every word. I would ride with you any day, any where ;) I actually drive thru Barnwell when I visit my bro( who is porsche tech for Baker in Charleston) next time Ill give…
- Magna Woes Okay, broke out the oscilloscope and tested the coils and CDI. They're wiring fine. Coils ohm out fine, but I found an open plug wire. I've got new wires on the way, I'm betting that will take care of it. Why it went…
- Time For All Dogs To Be Dead “Gold's still out there, if'n you got the patience to stick at it” mumbled the man across the diner as he wiped his napkin across his mouth, missing the bit of home fries still in his moustache. “People just ain't got…
- What's The Hottest 5Th Generation Can? Post Your Pics.... My Yoshi is not very loud. It's hard to tell from a video, but here it is: https://youtu.be/SwbbzUcwevE
- Magna Woes My cousin has a 94 Magna 750 that the reg/rec recently went out on. It overcharged and swelled up the battery until it basically popped. I've repaired the reg/rec, battery, and checked all the connectors, which were…
- T. D. R. 2 - Another Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Photo Journal Hey man, great ride! You have a great writing style and a knack for knockout photos. Enjoying this very much!

- Official 13Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2016 Will anybody be there early? I'll be in the area the week before, as usual. I'm part of a group that meets at Kickstand Lodge every year.
- Aftermarket Seat Options? Check Seth Laam at laamseats.com It's going to be a custom job, but that fits better anyways.
- Time For All Dogs To Be Dead The waves slapped the shore slowly as the day began. The Texas morning sky was a brilliant blue with just a few clouds lingering to impede the sun that began to make its presence known. I parked near the water, soaking…
- Gps My initial thought is an inexpensive GPS would be multi purpose. I also like that the phone is also an MP3, does email, finds places to eat etc. I live in CA, and so rain is not much of an issue. Really, I would keep it…
- Gps I second the xgrip , coupled with an I-6 plus works great for me. Only down fall is if you lose network. The great thing about CoPilot is the offline maps. No data required.
- Gps I used a tablet ($20 used Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 2.0) and a RAM Xgrip for my setup. It worked great for the last 11,000 miles. It's not waterproof, but fits in my tank bag. I used Copilot Navigation, which worked decent.…
- Prb's 5Th Gen Restore And Rebuild Project! Man, I love to see a 5th gen resurrected. You've got your work cut out for you, but hey, it runs.
- Experiences With Low Cost Aftermarket Exhausts I've heard that Delkevic is really good for the money, and that GPR sounds tinny and isn't built very well, but with no personal experience, take that with a grain of salt.
- Show Me Your Motorcycle Workshop I'm pretty lucky. I've got free run of a 9 bay shop after hours. All the space/tools/heated workspace I could ask for. [image: IMAG0273_zpsimlqcubi.jpg] At home, things are a bit more cramped. (I really need to work on…
- Any Thoughts On Russel Saddles? I paid $378 total including return shipping. Costs depend on options, I opted for front comfort mods onl, the carbon fiber vinyl, and asked for a little more seat height and to be built up a bit in the front to keep…
- Any Thoughts On Russel Saddles? Seth Laam is your guy. He makes all day comfortable seats. My 5th went from me aching at 80 miles to a full week of 500 mile days with the last being a 656 mile day. No pain. Fair price. Great craftsmanship, he'll work…
- 1999 Vfr800 Resurrection The can is just over 20" which is ridiculously long. I might shorten the other end which has a few dings, and bring it down to ~15".
- 1999 Vfr800 Resurrection Time to resurrect this thread. The bike has been great, no problems except my Motobatt battery failed. The main reason I'm updating this is to show off my new score, a full Erion exhaust system. The end can has been…
- Any Interest In A 'veefr In The Highlands' (Cape Breton) Tour Summer 2016? That sounds great. I've never been to the New England states even, what can I look forward to as far as food?
- Any Interest In A 'veefr In The Highlands' (Cape Breton) Tour Summer 2016? What kind of weather would I be looking at in August?
- Time For All Dogs To Be Dead The day began with a complimentary breakfast at the adjacent restaurant. The fare was rather standard, with a special free Days Inn menu consisting of 4 choices. No, problem, I'm a simple man. Give me pancakes and…
