All 14- Balancing the Rear Wheel Yeah my friend and I struggled with that on his Rabaconda. But somehow one of the attachments just about fit perfectly inside the center bore with a slip/slight transitional fit, so it worked out with the standard…
- 5th Gen Grab Handles ($80) 5th gen grab handles for sale - $80 + shipping in Continental USA. Comes with bolts as pictured (not OEM but functional) I also have an OEM service manual I'll throw in for another $30
- Please help me set fair prices for some 5th gen parts.. Off topic but I saw your N600 build on The Smoking Tire. Hearing that engine on that video is part of why I bought my 5th gen. Amazing builds sir!
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! Checking back in, really appreciate the quick guide on fuel tank re-keying. Easy peasy and with a good bit of cleaning with brake cleaner and some dry teflon lube (for my bike chain) the locking mechanism is working…

- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA So many pages! Didn't see it in the first post and apologies if I missed it - I'd be very curious to see a dyno of a 98-99 5th gen: 1) Stock, or with a slip-on 2) As above (for A-B comparison) with this header and a tune
- Gen 5 Fairings/blinker needed after Crash. Ha, same guy here who commented on your FB post. In the same boat for finding fairings but I got some clear aftermarket side markers off Ali Express for $37. Then got some money back since the bulbs don't quite click in…

- Hello from SF Bay - new(ish) to bikes coming from cars 5 hours ago, vfrgiving Welcome. 36K miles should be nothing for a 5th generation as long as it was decently looked after. I've put 36K on one in the last 8 months without much fuss. haha what the hell, where the heck do…
- Hello from SF Bay - new(ish) to bikes coming from cars Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Grum, 5/8/2023 at 8:22 PM Welcome timmoer. Glad you've caught the VFR V4 bug. Nice intro, a well cared for 5gen is a great machine, good news its already had a R/R upgrade. Sounds…
