- 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount 5 hours ago, eldannycarlito I followed the above link but it led me to a similar ad? Is this yours? Is the new version black? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/124596099013?hash=item1d028197c5:g:tBoAAOSwxCZgOC2C I'm in waterloo,…
- Material to use on 3D printing grab handle spacers for OEM luggage mounts? My guess would be between 30 and 50. The prototyped parts where you got the stl file from were printed through a company called proto3000 Www.proto3000.com If you are interested contact Chris mcaloney as he's familiar…
- Material to use on 3D printing grab handle spacers for OEM luggage mounts? These spacers are almost like a really firm hi-density foam Material. I'd recommend using a TPU material from the FDM process. This will be the most cost effective approach. You will see some layering, but it will be…
- Loss of the rear shock adjustment knob That is an unfortunate series of events. I have not personally had this sort of experience. I'm taking a guess that over the years there may have been an update to the shock adjuster and the housing has a different…
- 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount 45 minutes ago, Stephenster Haha that would have been cool, but unfortunately Ontario is big place. Maybe we'll meet up on a ride someday! S. Maybe! I plan on heading up to Orleans to visit some family this summer -…

- Routine Valve Inspection 2 minutes ago, Cogswell At 240,000 miles I replaced the timing belt my Camry's 5S-FE. I bought the car with with ~100,000 miles on it and I doubt the valves had ever been checked by the P.O. I had to remove the cam…
- Routine Valve Inspection 12 hours ago, Magneto I would love to see Honda Engineering evals that lead to setting of the inspection periods. That would be fun... Taking part in those discussions on industrial consumer products was entertaining,…
- Routine Valve Inspection Yes, however, just shows that they have made updates to the internals. What those updates exactly are I don't know and I'm sure it's more than just the cams. But, it is possible that those updates helped with the…
- Routine Valve Inspection It would appear that between the 6th and 8th Gen, honda has updated their cam shaft part numbers. This could partially be a reason why

- Tank Prop Rod 2 hours ago, raYzerman My tank prop consists of a length of 1 x 3 wood with two pins to fit in the frame holes and one pin to fit in the tank tab hole (optional, use two for the grommet holes). Made a similar one for…
- Tank Prop Rod 2 hours ago, Magneto Suzuki has similar design to yours and it was provided standard on my SV1000. There was slight Improvement compared to your design, a loop at the end of the prop that would go over stem nut…
- Tank Prop Rod The locks downs have me going crazy these days finding any excuses to tinker. In the process of doing a full PAIR delete and prepping for heated grips. I decided to make a prop rod for the gas tank. Honda's solution of…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Badger1, 10/24/2020 at 12:59 PM I installed a front fender extender to minimize the gunk I'm picking up from the road. Too bad the front wheel had to come off. [image: 20201024_114713.jpg] [image: 20201024_101733.jpg]…
- 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount There are rumblings of our Govt lifting the lock down restrictions shortly. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get a few more made! I'll let you know as soon as my mfr opens back up.
- 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount Shoops, 12/30/2020 at 12:27 AM Will you be making additional brackets for 6th Gen? I'm starting to get some more interest in these again, so I certainly will get a few more made. Only part holding me back now is my area…
- VTEC Mod 1 hour ago, Samuelx Have you done it or know someone who has? I feel like this is just a safe assumption. With 4 valves open at lower rpms the air velocity is a lot lower seing as there is more area to flow, meaning you…
- The stages of motorcycle ownership I don't have a much life experience as most, being in my early 30's. But one thing I know for sure is that I never make any mod that can't be 100% put back to stock with the parts I remove or add. Sometimes you just…
- CBR1000RR-R waiting for a detailed ride review and sound clip!
- Brake replacements I did some googling and found this [image: HONDA Motorradteile Bremsbelag, Satz, rechts, vorne (für CB 1100 SF, VFR 800, NT 650 V) - HONDA Motorradteile][image: HONDA Motorradteile Bremsbelag, Satz, links, vorne (für CB…
- Brake replacements 10 hours ago, Blackened Ah... Figures. I'm still trying to figure out why they have two separate part numbers for the same part!! My guess is Honda most likely has a different backer spacer on the pads from left to…
- Brake replacements From what I understand, the front left and right are the same, however depending on the year the front calipers may take different pads than the rear. Mine is 09 and I needed a different set for the rear than the front
- Is there a JDM 6th Gen? I don't know about the VIN situation, however, I did a VPN to Japan and did a google.co.jp and the only 6th gen VFR's that come up in Japan have the same Honda logo as the rest of the world - I'm pretty sure the "JDM"…
- Used VFR 800 question Certainly will look much cleaner without the stripes! The pics really do make it look like a super clean bike and well taken care of. One other thing I noticed is he put what looks like black sheet metal riveted to the…
- Used VFR 800 question It's quite possible that they are aftermarket - someone would have had to go through a lot of effort to remove the VFR logos on the side as well as the ABS stickers on the front fender. There appears to be some…
- Is there a JDM 6th Gen? That bike is 100% a dropped bike that has been repaired with cheap Chinese fairings and most likely a resprayed tank with a newer Honda emblem. The paint on the front fairing doesn't match to the side panels (regardless…

- Random and Intermittent Puff of Smoke on Start squirrelman, 7/17/2020 at 5:36 PM as long as it's not using quantities of oil, just ignore it. 🤨 probably valve guide seals. I guess I'll just ignore it like you said! lol too bad my OCD kicks in haha and the urge to…
- Random and Intermittent Puff of Smoke on Start 1 hour ago, Grum Agree with Dutchy. Check the airbox PCV. No chance of an overfilled oil situation I guess? Other than that, no idea especially considering your low k's. I took a look, nothing out of the ordinary. The…
- Random and Intermittent Puff of Smoke on Start 11 hours ago, Grum Are you sure it's not just condensation coming from the exhaust, very common with cold starts? - Is your bike oil level dropping excessively? It's definitely oil, it has that slight blue hue with the…
- Random and Intermittent Puff of Smoke on Start Hey all. So it's been about 2 years since I've had this happen now, but randomly during a cold start I'll get a burning oil like Puff of Smoke from the exhaust. Never happens after long stints of no use though Ive never…
