  1. Wanted to say a hello and how happy I am with my 5th Gen 30 Aug 2019 12:03 Awesome, @JeffInFranklinTN! These 5th gens may be the best bikes ever made...of course I may be a little biased! My 2001 has 33k on it and has been through one R/R but other than that, reliable as anyone could ask for!…
  2. Finally found an 8 spoke! 23 Aug 2019 17:13 I finally found a straight 8 spoke 3rd gen rear rim on eBay. Price was $260 shipped. Will need to be powdercoated to match front (thinking black unless I do both). I felt the price was pretty fair considering what they…
  3. Bls Footpeg Block Install 1 Aug 2019 17:00 I have finished the kickstand modifications, as others have. Cut off the little foot and JB Weld-ed a small washer to keep the kickstand from going higher. Also installed 6th gen pegs becuase they are thinner. Right now…
  4. Bls Footpeg Block Install 31 Jul 2019 13:51 This thread has become very valuable as I just installed a used set of these blocks on my 01. I am going to put 6th gen pegs on it for more space for the kickstand and modify the kickstand to accomodate as seen here. I…
  5. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 25 Jul 2019 20:01 Here is what I am starting with. $40 for the pair shipped. [image: s-l1600 (1).jpg] [image: s-l1600.jpg]
  6. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 24 Jul 2019 16:10 I purchased two used rear pegs off of eBay and will begin the process of hacking left side to allow grabbing for centerstand as well as helmet lock and right side will be hacked off to become a makeshift custom exhaust…
  7. Will 6th Gen pegs fit 5th gen? 18 Jul 2019 19:36 Does anyone have experience putting 6th gen pegs only (not entire rearset/bracket) on a 5th gen? From my eye, the peg size looks about the same but I would like verification from someone with experience. Thanks!
  8. oxford heated grips + helibars...any issues? what model of grip to get? 17 Jul 2019 14:47 Sorry to bring this thread back so late...but I have a 5th gen and am getting helibars and Oxford heated sport grips. No anticipated problems there. But I am also wanting to put on a Kaoko throttle lock. Has anyone used…
  9. 5th Gen OEM seat - $85 9 Jul 2019 18:01 For sale is a gently used 5th gen OEM seat. Excellent condition. Located in Findlay, OH. Asking $85 OBO plus shipping within Continental US. [image: IMG_5678.JPG] [image: IMG_6018.JPG] [image: IMG_0900.JPG]
  10. looking for yellow seat cowl 8 Jul 2019 16:45 Great finds come to those who scour eBay constantly...I found a pretty minty red cowl for my 01 for less than $40 shipped (original OEM part too...not Chinese knockoff). [image: IMG_1091.JPG]
  11. 5th Gen Alternatives to Helibars 2 Jul 2019 16:00 Anyone use VF1000F clip ons or SV 650 Helibars instead of VFR800 Helibars? Should all be 41mm. I have seen these alternatives cheaper than buying new Helibars for my 5th gen. If they would work, would stock lines and…
  12. Maggie Valley, NC Report 2 Jul 2019 13:50 My dad (Honda F6B), uncle (HD Electra Glide), and cousin (BMW R9T) returned last week from a 4 day trip from Ohio to Maggie Valley, NC. About 1500 miles round trip on my 31k mile 2001 5th gen (AMAZING bike). We rode the…
  13. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 1 Jul 2019 17:48 7 minutes ago, BuzznerSuntrusts The bolts holding the helmet lock have rounded heads, IIRC, but can be removed with vice grips. Then I replaced with normal allen head spares so I can swap it out if I want the pegs on.…
  14. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 1 Jul 2019 17:35 17 minutes ago, adkfinn I just checked for you - I paid $13 for a used left rear passenger bracket on fleabay to chop up so I could save my factory parts. I am sure a right side bracket won't be hard to come by for…
  15. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 1 Jul 2019 16:43 @adkfinn, that looks great, for sure. I also wonder if I could just buy another OEM right side passenger peg and grind most of it off, then sand and polish it enough to work.
  16. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 1 Jul 2019 15:26 7 minutes ago, BuzznerSuntrusts I also have a Staintune high mount and had VFRD design master Sebspeed fab me up a custom hanger. I think he made a second one for another member after mine, but I’m not sure. I can’t say…
  17. 5th Gen exhaust bracket to eliminate rear pegs 1 Jul 2019 14:56 Has anyone found an exhaust bracket to replace the stock footpeg exhaust mount for a 5th gen? For reference, I am running a Staintune stainless high-pipe. I would just like to remove both rear pegs for cleaner look when…
