  2. Bar risers and lowered pegs 5 Jul 2022 15:42 I should mention bar risers are oem and bike came with both mods. I have the oem pegs and will soon try stock setup but it felt perfect from the get go with the mods, maybe cuz I'm only 5'6"? Edited July 5, 2022 by…
  3. Bar risers and lowered pegs 4 Jul 2022 16:33 How many have or have tried bar risers and/or lowered pegs and what are your thoughts? I have both and feel they help make it a perfect S/T. With the more agressive forward riding position (than most modern ST's) suited…
  4. Music anyone? 18 May 2022 15:38 I've tried so many I can't count and found that the sound quality of the earbud matter less than the fit and seal. Block out the white noise and seal in the music and you will be happy with medium quality buds. They…
  5. dang i love this 5th gen 14 May 2022 12:14 It's a perfect bike for me. I needed an update for my Superhawk VTR and Ninja1000 was not it. It was a hard beast to tame. Simple chin over wrist didn't cut it. My short torso required I hang off the side on anything…
  6. Age check in 18 Feb 2022 12:21 BusyLittleShop, 2/15/2022 at 10:43 PM I'm turning 74... so I'm reminiscing the milestones during 57 years of Riding and Racing... 1963... It all started with a set of mini bike plans from the back of Popular…

  8. Age check in 7 Feb 2022 17:20 I still have my Superhawk which I've been all over the Midwest on. I just bought an 85 Honda spree scooter for the 3 Redbirds trifecta
  9. Age check in 6 Feb 2022 20:25 I've been ridng since I 1st strapped a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine on a bicycle age 10. That was after I made a 3 wheel chopper that was half Schwinn Stingray with ape hangers and 2x4's with go kart wheels…
  10. Age check in 6 Feb 2022 15:15 I saw a topic in another forum titled "how many older people ride a VFR?" I think the better question is how many younger people ride a VFR? I wouldn't be surprised if the average age of a VFR owner is about 50. I've…
  11. Driftless Wisconsin 31 Jan 2022 15:17 Just following the river is very scenic but not too exhilarating.. Lots of great twisties that's a great twisty's throughout driftless Wisconsin
  12. Driftless Wisconsin 27 Jan 2022 13:09 I started a Facebook group last year for VFR riders of Driftless Wisconsin. Being from Chicago I thought it might be a good way to link up with folks that really appreciate riding in this region of the country that…
  13. Quick Poll: Are you using Chain Lube or Chain Paste? 23 Dec 2021 15:43 I have a can of Motul chain lube to try for comparison but have been using the Motul chain paste for the last few years religiously and love it! I always 1st clean the chain with kerosene.
  14. OEM Quick Shifter 19 Sep 2021 03:36 I read this on another forum and have doubts about the claim:
  15. OEM Quick Shifter 18 Sep 2021 15:01 Is it true the oem quick shifter compromises regular shifting by taking up some of the real estate? I have not gotten around to installing mine yet and read that somewhere.
  16. Random photo thread - anything goes - post what you've got 15 Sep 2021 17:03
  17. Recommended Sports touring tyres + standard or GT? 14 Jul 2021 12:20 Dunlop Roadsmart 4 installed 1000 mi ago Live them on my VTR1000 as well
  18. Another Tank Protector thread? 9 Jul 2021 13:40 Took 2 months to come from China (ebay)
  19. 2014 VFR 800 - My first impressions 2 Jul 2021 11:29 Great bike! I got mine 2014 in March and love it! It's a heavy bike that is still pretty nimble in the twisties. Perfect ergonomics and just the right amount of rider aids. Enjoy!
  20. Cellphone Mount Needed 15 Jun 2021 14:39 19 hours ago, superfunkomatic I've also used RAM mounts (U-bolt base) from the gas tank bolts and put a ball just in front of the tank with a 6" extension. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-231ZU (you just need some…
  21. Cellphone Mount Needed 13 Jun 2021 13:03 17 hours ago, squirrelman 'scuse me but your full attention belongs entirely upon the road, not waiting for a booty call. cellphones do not belong anywhere within a rider's view. it's another modern addiction you need…
  22. Looking for Coffman DB Killer 20 Apr 2021 13:33 Thanks, not hearing much difference. Maybe it's more noticeable in person?
  23. Preferred non-google navigation app 8 Apr 2021 14:50 I use Waze if I'm in a hurry and don't mind being routed down alleys or to turn left across the busiest street in Chicago. It's good for cops/speed cam alerts. For cycle navigating I use Ride with GPS. It's a bicycling…
  24. I like my 8 th gen VFR , but.................. 5 Apr 2021 13:58 VifferCrab, 4/2/2021 at 11:28 PM The Coffman shorty without baffle sounds EXACTLY like my 6th gen with dual Delkevics. I just got the baffle delivered for the Coffman today, as I initially thought it was too loud. I’ll…
  25. I like my 8 th gen VFR , but.................. 2 Apr 2021 14:33 I just bought an 8th Gen. that has a Delkovic can that sounds OK but real quiet. I believe the baffle is still in place. I will be removing it because this monstrosity blocks the beautiful single sided swing arm wheel.…
