- Replacement Battery I picked up a battery from batteryshark.com for $35 shipped. It’s on my 1A charger so I’ll give it a go tomorrow most likely. Big price difference between that and Yuasa. All my bikes are always on a charger so…
- Replacement Battery Good responses, thank you. I always plug the battery on a maintainer (I use the Yuasa 1A units) as I have x4 bikes, so they don’t all get ridden weekly. I purchased my VFR new in December 2016 but it’s a 2014 so I have…
- Replacement Battery Looks like my OEM battery bit the dust. Strange, my tender says it’s ok (I can’t find my meter to verify) but I hit the crank button and everything just shuts off after a loud click and no more electricity. I did try to…

- Install questions for Akrapovic slip on I fiddled with it just a little, seems about the same but a tad better. I’m just over thinking it I’m sure. I’m a bit surprised the clamp by the cat appears to be fully closed, I don’t upgrade exhausts often so perhaps…
- Install questions for Akrapovic slip on Wow fink, really nice of you to be so helpful so quickly. Looks like your exhaust sits a little more vertical, I’ll look at mine again. Many thanks!
- Install questions for Akrapovic slip on Hi, I purchased brand new and just fitted, a few questions... 1. Is it normal for the gap around the edges of the baffle (dB insert) and the carbon tail,cone to be a bit uneven? I have more gap on the side furthest from…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer Well, I have a CB1000R, ST1300 and a WR250R (plus a very understanding gf 😜) to go along with my '14 DLX. Ah heck I'm no help...

- Stolen VFR Post some pics and license plate if you want a better shot at finding it. Anything custom on it that would tip people off? Post on Craigslist it was stolen and offer a reward for their hands and fingers. Also, monitor…

- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR 34 minutes ago, Rambler358 Use the part number that's on the Honda website as accessories for the Interceptor, there should be only one. Yep, I saw that. Looking at online parts house websites I see two part #'s listed,…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR And here's my Interceptor's stable mate. Bought it new in September for a pretty good deal (while actually looking for the Interceptor lol). I like both bikes a lot so far but the CB is a bit more fun for horsing around…

- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR Update, I checked with my local dealer and they felt the host clamps were simply a little loose so I tightened them up, cleaned the area and I'll keep an eye on it. Anyone know about the quick shifter? Which part #…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR A couple quick questions.... 1. I want to order the quick shifter but I see two parts #'s. Does it matter which I order? Is one a newer version? 2. I removed the lower left side fairing to have a look and noticed some…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR 6 hours ago, Rambler358 Congrats! What dealer in SoCal did you get it from? I picked it up from Mountain Motorsports in Ontario. They made it fairly easy for me although I had to remind them it comes with the seat cowl…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR I went down to Southern California and picked up a new leftover '14 Interceptor Deluxe on Monday. The ride back (425 miles) was uneventful and actually fairly enjoyable. Not quite as good as the FJR I used to have for…
- Need help deciding if I should switch to a VFR 51 minutes ago, Rambler358 The low mileage Interceptor that's over by me is in white. You might want to call and get the specifics on it - price, mileage, etc. Thank you for the tip! I did check on that one but it's a…
