All 29- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I've just put my Tail Tidy on ebay if you are interested, UK only. Sold the bike now.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I have a used one for sale, good condition, they stand up well to a UK winter, PM me with your best offer (sorry Uk only) otherwise it goes on eBay..... Edited August 4, 2017 by Carlosfandango Typo
- Man I really am loving this bike The more I ride the VFR, the more I love it. Test drove a BMW R1200RS recently, lovely bike but the Honda was more involving. Just done nearly 1500 miles in a week around Scotland, VFR was lovely, why o why is this not…
- Quickshifter a bit vunerable mmm, managed to drop the bike off its side stand, I thought it was in gear. Not much damage as is went down slowly, however when I managed to pick it up again, (with the help of some bikers who stopped, thanks guys!) I…
- Mounting a Bike Cam I have bought a NextBase Bike Cam and I am looking for ideas on how to mount it (perhaps I should have thought of this BEFORE I bought it!). https://www.nextbase.co.uk/dashcams/ride-motorcycle-bikecam/ I think in the…
- Best Grandstand in Assen? Thanks but all sold out at Geert Timmer, looks like it will be popular at the Moto GP this year! Managed to get seats in Haarbocht. Prices are not too bad - you should try coming to Silverstone! Next job, try to find a…
- Best Grandstand in Assen? We are going to the Moto GP in Assen in June, however as we have never been there before, anyone know the best grandstand to be in for the best view of the action? some are selling out fast!
- Ducati supersport I am definately going to have a test ride when they become available, however sitting on one at a bike show, two things concern me, you seem 'trapped' into the seat and the view of the cockpit area looks cheap compared…
- Range of the 8th Gen 110 miles before my arse is squeeking and I have to stop for stand-up and walk around, so I might as well fill up. I managed 150 miles before stopping once but was wriggling around on the seat in agony. I don't have an…
- Tires! Bought a pair of Metzeler Roadtec 01's - brilliant in the wet. However due to the weather here in Atlantis (or England as it used to be called) I have not had a chance to try them in the dry :sad:
- K&N Oil Filter Failure It is not worth saving a few pennies on oil or filters, stick to an original Honda oil filter, at least you may have some redress if it all goes wrong.......
- Trip to Mugello Moto GP Spluga pass is certainly worth a visit http://www.dangerousroads.org/europe/italy/64-passo-dello-spluga-italy.html [image: Sp.jpg] [image: Passo dello Spluga00.jpg]
- Trip to Mugello Moto GP [image: DSC_3120.JPG] This was my first long trip on the VFR, we did 2200 miles in 7 days to see Rossi in the Moto GP. I thought I would share the experience with you guys as to how the little VFR coped. Travelling from…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Unlucky, I was not charged anything. Looks a treat, especially with a slightly smaller UK number plate. I can post photos if required. I have kept the old plate and holder for the MOT next year. Fits in 5 mins.
- Screen For Gen 8 Sun? Whats that? Here in England, or Atlantis as it should be called looking at the amount of water around, we don't suffer too much from bright sunlight. I am still waiting for a dry road this year.........
- Screen For Gen 8 Recommend the Powerbronze double bubble, the light tint has a nice VFR script at the bottom, darker ones don't have this. Just be careful when fitting, the plastics can easily be damaged when taking apart, there are…
- Visit To Motorcycle Live Last Week Having just been to Motorcycle Live in the UK (UK's biggest bike show) with a huge Honda stand, the VFR800 looked a little unloved, placed amongst the 'Adventure' themed area alongside all the high bar, off road bikes…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy It arrived today, post from Australia is better than ours! Looks great, no tax to pay and full instructions included, good service, thanks
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Just ordered mine, hopefully it's in the Christmas post from Aus! Looking forward to fitting it in the new year with all the snow and ice around. I wonder what the British MOT inspector will make of the reflector, no…
- Wheel Bearings Anything to do with our lousy weather and heavily salted roads? As a matter of interest have you checked your brakes? i have noticed a pitting of the brake pistons, to be checked at next service. With your mileage you…
- Power Commander Yum, yum, can't wait. don't forget to post the results, just need a little more power :goofy:
- Accessories Fitted - Part 1 Regarding Gel Seat, I just wanted something that looks a bit better than stock, I can only find this so far, & I am not convinced about suede as I like to move about a bit on the seat. [image: 489-1-1788-l.jpg] The…
- Accessories Fitted - Part 1 i thought you may be interested in some of the accessories I have fitted so far in case you were considering buying the same thing: Akrapovic, not the genuine Honda one but from another source (cheaper !) Fits easily,…
- Gel Seat? You must have an iron butt! I start getting a numb bum after 100 miles and need to stop. Anyone got one of the newer versions of the Airhawk, looks awful but may be comfortable. Or am I just getting soft in my old age?
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well I bought mine for 8500 English Pounds, it was less than 6 months old with one owner and 300 miles, that is a saving of over 2000 pounds from new, equivalent to nearly 7 pounds a mile, that is over 10 U.S. dollars a mile…
- Gel Seat? Having done some longer journey's I am in need of a comfy seat! The original is not bad but I have been spoilt with previous bikes. I have tried looking but can't find anyone doing a gel seat yet, any suggestions?
- Scottoiler Installation Thanks for the pictures, your explanation really helped. Much better than the model specifc instructions on the web site. Kit is good and seems to work well. Scotoiler were really quick in sending the part needed for…
- More Brake Issues..... I have followed some of the brake threads with interest. I noticed my lever would pull back to the grip, this after 500 miles and the first service, so I bled the brakes, I got some air out and all seemed good. I then…
- Hugger Has anyone tried any of the alternatives? Even my Honda dealer appeared to be putting me off buying an original Honda one!
