All 27- From 5th to 8th now back to 5th?? Quick shifter & couple questions... 20 hours ago, Hingley It also has a set of Heli handle bars None of my business but if that bike was any where's near me I would have sweaty palms trying to buy it, as long as the damage was not great and fixable.…
- From 5th to 8th now back to 5th?? Quick shifter & couple questions... 2 hours ago, Tirso Welcome back, sorry to hear about your accident but good you hear you're still here and riding! I'm totally biased and think the 5th Gen is best bike ever and red is the best color. Regarding…
- From 5th to 8th now back to 5th?? Quick shifter & couple questions... Hi All, Had a 5th gen years back and eventually an 8th gen, needless to say, hooked. My 8th gen and I were obliterated by a guy who blew a red at 70 just shy of two years ago. I've limited use of my left arm as a result…
- Rapidbike for gen 8 No peculiarities for me at all. Had the racing version Installed shortly after the bike was broken in and left it in "smart" mode so it adapts. Recently installed headers and flogged it hard in the hills so it would…
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR 13 hours ago, Cogswell I wholeheartedly agree. The rider below may be scrubbing off his "chicken strip" but likely being passed by his mates who are leaving theirs intact. To me proper body position combined with…
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR 3 hours ago, boOZZIE I've never had my feelers down or my knee for that matter (& prob never will) on the vfr and am almost at the edge of the tire. The strips probably a 1/4" from the edge with some lite marks a little…
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR 2 hours ago, Marvelicious I'm with you: riding the Duke is making me faster on both bikes. I think it helps to occasionally force yourself slightly out of your comfort zone. Also interesting: I do occasionally drag pegs…
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR One has to know ones own limits and ride smart. To push a tire (sport or not) to the limit while not on a track it needs to be done on a safe road, good line of sight, rider knowledge/familiarity of the road a dry run…
- Picture Thread 13 hours ago, BeePee What headers are they and what difference have they made ? Obviously cat removal but performance ? They are the only ones available I could find, made by member on here Duc2V4. Butt dyno and the…
- Picture Thread Got out for a little fresh air during this very weird "shelter in place" time. Been out of commission with a broken rib shortly after installing the new headers, forgot how damn good they sound.
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Had the new headers installed. Larger diameter than stock and no CAT. Install with a TBR slip on required an custom "adapter" to be fabricated as you can see in the pic. Shop (Catalyst Reaction Tuning) did a fantastic…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? MaxSwell, 10/21/2019 at 11:55 AM That is quite decent mileage from a rear. Looks Very Well Used. I didn't get 14K out of the tire, that was the mileage on the bike for service, I was late for my 12K. I got a shy of 4K…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Hit 14K and did all fluids and a new set of shoes. This is what a Q3 Plus looks like when the sides go first. Happy that I burned through the sides first though. Great tires for the bike! [image:…
- Picture Thread "Rim of the World" Vista on the way to Yosemite. [image: IMG_7364.jpg] [image: IMG_7368.jpg] Bike on Old Priest Grade and New Priest Grade across the canyon, incredible stretch of twisty road. [image: IMG_7370.jpg] They…
- Picture Thread 18 hours ago, RC79NC001 On Ca 88 headed west from the Tahoe area. VFR rocks ! Know the road well, beautiful ride and shot.
- Steering issue? 5 hours ago, 4corsa Agreed, Bridgetone makes some good tires, but these aren't one of them. I'll be switching to Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart III. Great dual compound tires - very soft, grippy compound on the sides for…
- Picture Thread Just a pretty sunset and bike. [image: 6D21C254-4314-4A14-AE40-64DD35FD78EA.jpeg]
- Picture Thread Spent the day at World Superbike at Laguna Seca on Sunday. Came back to find a fellow 8th Gen rider all the way from Quebec had parked close to mine. I've added a few other shots form the race for your viewing pleasure.…
- Picture Thread Threw on some new ASV levers and took her out for some corner carving today. Beautiful day on some beautiful roads with my son. The VFR always draws a few that appreciate her even with this many bikes up on the hill.…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Gave her a bath and fitted ASV levers. They feel nice and look good IMO. I’m sure I’ve gained at least five horsepower too! Off for a spin in the mountains now. [image: 696D970D-F086-4CB2-83DA-B2F9FD94972A.jpeg] [image:…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Received new rear OEM wheel. 13.88 lbs in case anyone wondered.
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Emailed Dymag directly and they indicated no fitment options. Do you know otherwise?
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Ordered a lithium ion battery to trim a little weight up high on the bike. Will post weight savings this weekend. Will be ordering a new back wheel soon as well, sticking with stock as I haven't been able to locate and…
- Tire pressure I run 34/36 for aggressive riding/leaning.
- Intro and Wheel Question Thanks for all the input and feedback everyone. My son has all gear covered except good pants, which I'll resolve shortly thanks to some good tips. Gator Greg, thanks for the link to Smokes vid, great session! Been…
- Intro and Wheel Question Thanks everyone! Sorry for all the typos, that's what I get for posting from work when I should be working... I agree with Rogue Biker, the wheels are beautiful, but If I have to plunk down almost $500 for just the…
- Intro and Wheel Question Hi All, Been quietly lurking for some time and enjoying all the posts. Proud relatively new owner of a 2015 White DLX that I absolutely love. I knew I would as I had 99 before and regretted selling it the day I did…
