  1. The veefalo she is smoking. *valve cover oring* 9 Dec 2017 00:54 My 2013 used oil at the rate of one qt./ 500 miles. Began after the local dealer performed the 16k valve inspection. Trouble was, when I discovered the problem, I was in Nova Scotia working my way back to Reno. So I…
  2. Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars 13 Apr 2017 14:10 Just installed the Helibars. Mine are not indexed, therefore they can be adjusted fore and aft. The bars are definitely comfortable. They do sit me up a little more into the wind blast at speed. So....we'll see. I'm…

  6. OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? 27 Jan 2017 04:20 andy I have a VStream touring shield that directs the air differently than the original, but noisier than stock and doesn't keep the wind blast from hitting my helmet. I've been disappointed. I hoped it would be quiet…
  7. New Member - New Questions 20 Jan 2017 05:34 2 hours ago, MackerVFRR I own an RC, the 1200 and an ST - so by design my garage contains 3 levels of bar height. The stock VFR is the sweet spot IMO. The RC clip-ons are high compared with modern supersports, but still…
  8. Fuel economy. 180 miles per tank is a joke 3 Dec 2016 16:48 Hmmm! 2013 vfr1200f, akro slip on, Guhl reflash. 41 mpg highway at 80 plus mph. 39 mpg with luggage. However, no city riding!
  9. Increasing Comfort- seat swap/handle bar risers 1 Dec 2016 17:27 Good Morning, Congrats on your new VFR!. Before you modify your GT into a "cruiser" consider a couple of things. The ergos on the vfr require a whole lot of different muscles than you're accustomed to using. Try to…

  13. Slippy seat 22 May 2016 23:56 My preference is the slippery seat. Indeed, I treat my seat with conditioner to make it slippery. On longer rides it makes it easier to adjust one's position. Honda got it right.
  14. New Tires Needed. Looking For Advice. 12 May 2016 23:57 Pr4 GTs. Always in pairs!
  15. California Highway 49 1 Mar 2016 22:05 Butler maps does a good job of lining out the routes. The Quincy Laporte Road comes to mind . Icehouse reservoir, 120 up to Yosemite. 26 from the Mokelume Hill up to Pioneer are great rides. Attached Images [image:…

  17. California Highway 49 21 Feb 2016 02:46 The entire length of highway 49, from Vinton to Oakhurst is more than 300 miles of fabulous winding road. From Sierra passes to river canyons to gold country tows and wineries, this is one challenging ride. Attached…
  18. Panniers 14 Feb 2016 17:24 As for looks, the close fitting Honda oem bags look better form the rear. Otherwise, I'll take the GIVI bags. Attached Images [image: IMAG1064.jpg]
  19. Givi V35 Cases 14 Feb 2016 17:07 Living in Nevada, one has plenty of opportunity to travel at relatively high speed. I've had no problem, however, I would consider the potential for unpleasant aerodynamic effects over 125 mph. Attached Images [image:…
