All 30- FS: Givi Rack and boxes $300 I have a Givi luggage rack and 3 hard boxes. 2 keyed alike side boxes and one top box large enough to fit a helmet. There is also wiring to allow for tail light integration to the box. It has a built in LED strip.…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Alright so here it goes. The write up! This is a pretty involved modification that requires a bit of patience and a fair amount of skill to do so. If you are not comfortable working on your own bike or doing things…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Managed to get headlight aimed. Going to possibly bring it up a little. It's amazing how much more I can see now. I didn't take a picture with the high beams yet, but they add a considerable amount of light to the area.…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Turns out it was a low battery and I had dislodged one of the slip fit terminals/connectors on the turn signal housing in my haste to get it all back together. Everything works as it should now. Time to figure out the…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Made progress today. And then took a huge step backwards... Got everything back together and the lows and highs work excellent. Hit the left turn signal and everything is okay. Slide the switch over to go right,…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Made some progress today! Numbers correspond with order of pictures 1) I'm going to try and mount the Motocontrol computer on this part of the fairing stay with the coil pack. 2) Trying to find a suitable location to…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Woodie Can I ask if you used a vacuum former or just heat and let it form under it's own weight ? Looks good by the way. I put it in the oven at 350° F for a little under 10 minutes. It mostly formed with it's own…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Dutchy Joking aside, that is some skill/ingenious you display here! well done! Thanks Dutchy. Means a bunch coming from somebody with your reputation on this board! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit 350, so I guess it should be fine. I'll try it and find out. Worst case, I buy another piece of acrylic, make a new one and try again Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit coupedupsubie I would still use the sealant TRS sent. Wire insulation is rated for certain temperatures, normally marked on the wire. I'm sure they make sure that 7 minutes in the oven won't hurt anything. I know a…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit More updates for everybody! Going to use black silicone/RTV I think to seal up the lens. I don't like the idea of having to bake it when there are the wires for the high beam shutter in the housing. I'll provide a…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Making progress! Once you have the lens separated from the housing and most of the butyl rubber removed, trace the outline of the lens onto a large piece of wood. I bought a 24x24 piece of 1/2 or 3/4 MDF. Using a…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit coupedupsubie They are different, you have to trim the two lower tabs for them to work then get an adapter plate.…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Hit my first snag of this project... The h4 lock ring included with the kit is a different pattern than the factory Honda bulbs [image: 15752178d9e2a7f07a1294438ee08fd0.jpg] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- Obligatory New Member post Projectors aren't designed to work with fluted lenses so I'm going to make a new one that is smooth so I get a straight cut off with the beam. Don't want to be blinding oncoming traffic. Sent from my Pixel XL using…
- Obligatory New Member post MsRN98 I also have a spare headlamp assembly, and plans to use that same H1 setup. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The install is going to be fairly straightforward. The hard part will be rigging up something to make a…
- Obligatory New Member post coupedupsubie If it's is their motorcycle specific setup be sure to post the results. That's the setup I am looking into. That's what I went with...…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit I had a few extra bucks from doing some overtime two weeks ago so I decided to order the Motocycle: Stage 2 Dual kit from www.theretrofitsource.com. This will be my build and install write up thread. The kit includes…
- Obligatory New Member post coupedupsubie, 2/24/2017 at 1:51 PM I haven't seen a projector retrofit yet. I currently have LED headlight bulbs fitted. I have considered the same direction as you. If you do it I may be interested in working with you…
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Started to put the bike back together just for kicks before even touching the carbs. Some combination of replacing the fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plugs and air filter including removing the mouse nest, has caused my…
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm squirrelman Those damned rodents again !! You might need a proper carb cleaning. They're off the bike, have a buddy coming down tomorrow or Saturday to rebuild/replace seals and adjust the jets if necessary. I did the…
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Mouse nest in snorkel. This may actually be the cause of my problems. Air starvation... [image: dcab6627a0c2a3ce042c0df0d9d6c01f.jpg] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- Obligatory New Member post Well I figured out one way to do it by myself. Little extra leverage made the task super easy! [image: 63ad213698ad4ad219e7c51a9f2281d9.jpg] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Fuel pump also appears to have a Mitsubishi logo on the top? [image: 450e0b22d6f43c4cae7efa7dad0603bd.jpg] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Finally back state side, I have all the fairings off. How do I take the cover off the fuel pump? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Thanks for the reply Dutchy. Just saw this. Haven't had access to internet. I'll check that next time I get home.
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm Hello citizens of VFRD, I'm a new member here, but that's not what this post is about... Now that the weather is starting to get halfway decent, I figured it's time to diagnose the issue with my bike that presented…
- Obligatory New Member post otmaximus I also put the Y2K mirrors on my 4G. You can wait forever to find some on eBay or just buy new. I have a pit bull front stand. Between the center stand and the pit bull you can get both wheels off the ground.…
- Obligatory New Member post Thanks for the good info. I'll have to look into those things. I took a Friday off back in September and rode all the way up to Kittery. My house-> East Greenwich, RI in order to meet up with my buddy (F800GS in the…
- Obligatory New Member post Hey everybody, I'm Bill from Connecticut. I bought a 96 VFR750F in August last year with 23k miles on it. This is my 2nd motorcycle and I felt it was a logical next step over the asthmatic Ninja 500 I rode during the…
