Last 50 of 677- In Dutch, it's called a "Garage" Saw this a minute ago and thought of this thread. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DUVWf489P/?mibextid=wwXIfr
- Hello! Here's my new to me 2007 VFR Just for clarity, she was dropped in the driveway by Florida owners wife on the right side. The left side drop was pulling out of a hotel parking lot that was way off camber. I won't mention the rider (not me) to…
- Hello! Here's my new to me 2007 VFR I had in mind to paint her in the VF1000R rwb scheme but never wanted to tear her down that long.
- Hello! Here's my new to me 2007 VFR In case you get an idea to remove those stripes, they are vinyl and will peel right off. But, before you do, there are some booboo's under the one on the left side upper cowl. There's a great story there. The left bag…
- Hello! Here's my new to me 2007 VFR 5 hours ago, mello dude That's nutz.....It may be the same bike I helped MarriedMan do an update on the charging system. That's got to be 10+ years ago.... If it has a R/R mount plate with a FH020... its the one.…
- Hello! Here's my new to me 2007 VFR I was really looking forward to seeing her on this forum again! That's my old girl. The name came one evening after days of traveling in the mountains and I was feeling her heft. She didn't get heavier, I got older.…
- My New Dunlop Roadsmart 4 have arrived. I love the RS4's. I don't really track miles but they last a long time for the way they handle. I get two years out of a set compared to one on the old favorite S22's. The other thing I like is that the handling doesn't…
- Oops. New front wheel needed I've not had a bike wheel straightened but have had a car wheel done. What I was told is that they have to use heat to straighten them so it will have to be refinished. That is why they had a minimum charge of $275.…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years As for the food pics...looks like a proper gut bomb.🙂
- What other motorcycle sites do you check regularly? ADVRider.com daily for the main page articles and then a few sub forums where my riding friends hang out. It's kind of a mess as far as organization but there is a lot of stuff there and not just adventure related.
- rusty crusty 1999 revival I think it's going to be more than a thousand. The color of the clutch cover is like a little tease and now I'm hooked on watching to see where this goes. Look forward to following along.
- In Dutch, it's called a "Garage" [image: image.thumb.png.5faf59f5e54266cc1f7005dc46565e55.png] The forklift could easily lift this assembly like a pallet. If you put casters under it, you could push it around the garage easily. The 2" hitch would give…
- In Dutch, it's called a "Garage" What about a cheap hitch hauler that you could strap the bike to and then lift and mount to the Unistrut?
- Riding an old friend again We meet in Franklin every May. Come join us and you will find even more roads that the locals share with us. There is also a Fall Ride in mid September that moves to different locations just to keep it interesting. We…
- VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 25 For any of you who still remember the Green Jersey, Curt won it this year. He showed up with his Tiger660 having just installed new cartridges and a shock. One fork leg had a leak at the bottom so the bike wasn't…
- VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 25 I grabbed some pics from FB group.... [image: SR1.thumb.jpg.903b7dc2ba5bc0a853a939d7d8b79fbe.jpg][image: SR2.thumb.jpg.37338f27dfaf5bbea4d89c834cd70c6c.jpg][image:…
- VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 25 17 hours ago, MikeOConner Where are all the pictures? No group pictures? How many attended? I've gotten bad about taking pics. May be a few on the FB group page. We had about twenty this year. The weather forecast…
- Gotta Ride! I'm pretty sure Leon's picture is in the dictionary under HardMF.
- Handlebar height There were five VFR's at the SpringRide a couple of weeks ago. All of them had bar conversions. I had Helibars and will say the bar conversion is the better option.
- Gotta Ride! Shouldn't be worse than an RC51, right?
- Gotta Ride! Most of the used Tiger660's you see are for sale because someone is moving to a bigger bike for touring. It's a comfortable sport bike but not a great touring bike.
- Gotta Ride! The ergos on the Tiger660 or 800 are way more old man friendly than the Ape. Less cool for sure but more all day comfort. There are a lot of Tiger660 leftovers for closer to $7k floating around. If you were closer, I'd…
- VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 25 Just to document that the event goes on... We had 18 or so bikes this year with a bad weather forecast leading into the weekend. Ended up with three great days of riding. The Green Jersey was awarded Curt for dropping…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model The front cowl is really expensive. You might try plastic weld on the inside and then repaint and decal. I searched for a cowl several years ago and found exactly one and it was $600. It's been a couple of years but…
- Up for auction at IconicMotorbikes That is one properly cared for VFR! I hope someone gets it who will understand what a riders bike it is.
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years I'd have put the duct tape someplace else.
- This did not end well. I did a track day a little over a year ago in a full suit that was given to me. It went great until I took the suit off in my trailer and noticed all of the strange dust. Thanks for the reminder that I never ordered new…
- Recall alert on VFR1200 https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCLRPT-24V864-4944.PDF Other bikes involved in the recall. Amazing that they will do anything on a bike that is almost 15 years old.
- Recall alert on VFR1200 Just saw the announcement that Honda is recalling 40k motorcycles for fuel pump impeller defect. If you own a seventh gen, you may want to check it out. Sorry, I didn't grab the link but I'm sure it will be out there.
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years Electrical contacts for warming his cheeks.
- Honda Unveils New V3 Engine with Electrical Compressor I like your dream!
- Honda Unveils New V3 Engine with Electrical Compressor The package that its in looks really interesting. Just bring it Honda.
- GoPro mounts on 5th gen I used the left mirror stalk on my 6th gen for years. It works and allows you to see what the stupid camera is doing. I've switched to chin mount on the helmets because I like the cockpit view it gives. My wife…
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride The GoPro was a pain in the ass all weekend so I missed a lot of great footage. This is what I got.
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride The ride before the ride. We stayed at Pineola, NC for four days. The roads were dirty and damp in places but still the best riding.
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride 11 hours ago, MisterBill Good to see everyone again. My son Jonathan came this year. His first time in the Great Smoky Mountains. We took it nice and slow. I moved him from Beginner to Intermediate. Great time. 1,250…
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride bmart, 5/14/2024 at 12:38 PM I have a generator, but that doesn't mean I want to leave the power out on my house. lol I'm weather watching also...despite having good wet weather gear. I posted a few notes on the ride…
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride 9 hours ago, Dutchy :worthlesswithoutpics: The only sketchy thing that happened to me in ten days. Stupid GoPro.
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride vtecal, 5/14/2024 at 12:07 PM Watching the weather..... I was looking for you. We had four Tiger660's. Lost one day to rain and had a wet track morning. Awesome riding. I didn't really take any pics but will have a…
- VFR fourth gen fairings? Very few bikes look cool without some cash and talent. More cash requires less talent while more talent requires less cash. Seb's naked bikes look like MONEY but we know how they got there.
- VFR fourth gen fairings? Check out TYGA's RC30 conversion kit?
- I'm VFRless! I just said goodbye to my Ol'Heavy. It was not easy but I'm happy because the young man who took her will be good to her and will most likely be joining VFRD soon. I will be much happier seeing her ridden. Looking back…
- 2024 TMAC aka Spring Ride Awesome news "Al"!
- Inflation just deflated me! After reading my last post, I thought I should make it clear that I was not offering anything(not breaking any rules here)😉. It was just a tip that if any of you can come up with a small group, it's worth the effort.
- Inflation just deflated me! I emailed Rabaconda about a discount for an order of four units for myself and friends that are interested. They offered ten percent if one pays and takes delivery. So, if any of you are close and want to round up a few…
- NC mountain ride Sunday 4/14 If I lived a little closer.
- Tyga Performance RC30 conversion kit for 4th Gen I know it made the rounds on the FB group. Like you, I figure it will be tough to find a 4th gen starting about now. May be a good idea to hang on to an unmolested one even.
- Inflation just deflated me! They have an adapter for BMW and Ducati if I recall correctly.
- Inflation just deflated me! No local places will mount spoked wheels anymore. I ordered tires for my Sled from CycleGear 30 miles away with the plan of having them mount them. Two weeks for them to come in. I take the wheels off and show up to…
- Considering a VFR... help On a 6th gen, you can slip a fender washer or two under the upper shock mount to raise the rear and then pull the forks up to lower the front. It only takes a small change to make a big difference. I think mounts on the…
