  1. 6th Gen Galfer stainless brake line kit. Non-ABS 31 May 2019 00:53 Offering for sale a new unused Galfer 6th gen stainless braided kit for a 6th gen non-ABS unit. Price is 150.00 Canadian. Shipping to destination is in addition. Part is in Port Hope, Ontario; Canada. Dave [image:…
  2. exhaust 11 Mar 2019 00:20 Moto, do your research and homework here. The best to me is Staintune but not sure about their supply or timeliness any more. With baffles in they are still good, and lifetime. Lighter too but not a race system in terms…
  3. Me and some of the boys in Belfountain, ON Late OCT 2018 12 Jan 2019 23:09 I really don't see any other bike. 😁 Everything else appears to have been beat with an ugly stick.
  4. Touring windscreen 13 Dec 2018 00:57 That is definitely the MRA add on spoiler, on a stock honda windscreen. I found that spoiler setup useless for me. MRA quality is outstanding. But I finally found a zero gravity touring and it is by far the best…
  5. Is my brake pedal bent? 7 Dec 2018 01:57 Definitely it should be parallel, not on that angle. I have an '07.
  6. What is considered high KMs or miles for a VFR 25 Sep 2018 22:44 This is exactly another reason why I love mine so much. Imho, VFR's are classic in every way. History, sound, looks, comfort, reliability and a tremendous owner support base. Aftermarket support, it goes on,,, One tends…
  7. Pardon The Nudity... 11 Sep 2018 01:04 And frankly Cogs has laid it down. Truth there. Trust in yourself and Seb; honest to gosh your work and ethic is clear to all of us who don't even know you. I've just bought product but the work and response has said it…
  8. Pardon The Nudity... 8 Sep 2018 00:36 Just incredible respect and awe from me Seb. Joining the choir here on so many fronts = your obvious skills and talents and on moving forward. I think for most of us your work just blows us away. Wish I had your skills…
  9. 2007 VFR Spark Plug Change? at what K did you change them out? 1 Aug 2018 23:32 Rice, so the K&N is not a good option on our bikes? I have been running stock currently but had heard good things about them for enhancing performance and also for economy - no need to buy additional paper.
  10. Kanadian Ken's Solo Rack 31 Jul 2018 01:25 Way slow with this and apologize. Here is my low cost top box with Ken's solo rack. The rack is basically bomb-proof and precisely what I was looking for. You have ZERO idea you have a top case with this setup = no…
  11. Kanadian Ken's Solo Rack 19 Jul 2018 00:07 Urban, I'll do so on the weekend. It's a great setup and really economical too depending on which hard case you go with.
  12. Kanadian Ken's Solo Rack 18 Jul 2018 01:45 Just have to share a very kind thanks to Ken for his outstanding solo rack. Ordered it a few years back and finally got around to getting a hard case to go with it. To me, this is absolutely the best setup. NO side…
  13. Anybody sporting a Zero Gravity SR series windscreen on VFR 13 Jul 2018 02:41 Team VFR, I have tried a bunch of the aftermarket screens. MRA vario-touring. Spoiler screen. Finally tried the Zero Gravity touring screen and it is by far the best. I'm 6'2. The air flow management is so much better…
  14. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 23 Mar 2018 02:55 Have to share, Runners note on the source for the oem hugger was aces. The best price and shipped extremely quick for the default price. Just from looking at the hugger, it will last the life of the bike. My aftermarket…
  15. VTEC transition worse after installing Power Commander V 8 Mar 2018 02:59 Tom, just wanted to confirm, the easy 3 mods you made, you did those all before the PC yes? And you had no issues when you did so, as described prior to the install? I ask as I have only done the snorkel mod, not the…
  16. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 1 Mar 2018 02:49 Awesome and many thanks Runner! Dave
  17. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 28 Feb 2018 00:54 Would anyone have the Honda part number for the 8th gen hugger? I've checked fiches but can't seem to find it. Many thanks Dave
  18. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 25 Feb 2018 01:00 Sweeper, looks very good. I know with this stuff if you're a perfectionist it can drive you nuts. But just think of those spots as character marks. :-) Love the colour btw. Dave
  19. WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 24 Feb 2018 02:31 Looking to see the finished product! Looks good! Love the 8th gen wheel on 6th gens - just aces. I had a red fox hugger that split - the OEM route looks perfect - many thanks for sharing! Dave
  20. VTEC transition worse after installing Power Commander V 24 Feb 2018 02:26 Tom, no way is that normal. I added a PCV to my 07, and it made a huge difference. The VTEC transition is now like wind filling the sail - totally predictable and no way like the toggle it was before. I'd definitely…
  21. Staintune (the company) for sale 25 Jun 2017 00:20 Their product for our bikes was and is still awesome. Best quality exhaust, period. Glad I have one.
  22. Fork rebuilding with new valves and springs & Shock replacement 10 Jun 2017 23:31 Rob, I'm with you brother. This is precisely what would happen to me. Stay the course and make your ride what you want it to be. I really want to do this setup and it just sounds aces. Dave.
  23. I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 5 Jun 2017 21:48 Spectacular find. Congratulations to you as it seems to have everything! Dave
  24. My New Bike 15 Apr 2017 23:43 Lorne, gorgeous shot. Just beautiful. Dave
  25. My New Bike 11 Apr 2017 02:24 You've gone and done it now. Buying one of these really takes away any reason to upgrade down the road. Congratulations on your good taste. :-)
  26. Tyga Vfr800 Headers 16 Mar 2017 23:23 Count me as a maybe depending on cost and support for the centrestand. Still very interested.
  27. Ducati Supersport 9 Feb 2017 01:35 I love the idea of the new SS, but don't see it having near the same capabilities. More power yes, but the seating triangle looks constricted to me. Also, the wind protections appears to be down from the Viffer. Looking…
  28. Sixth Gen Buying Advice What to Look For? 9 Feb 2017 00:21 14, as others have shared, post 07 models do have improvements. Though they are not completely immune to issues, they seem to be more reliable than earlier years of the 6th gen. Mines been ace, recommend the VFRness for…
  29. Help with VFRness, after install no fuel pump and dash buzz 7 Feb 2017 01:34 Totally support Josh with his quality. Excellent kit.
  30. New donation from dgordon 31 Jan 2017 01:20 Hi dgordon, Thank you for your donation of $25.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  31. Ecu Reflash For The 06-09 Vfr800 28 Jan 2017 01:21 I'd like to say I would purchase such a flash. I couldn't afford to drop off and pick up the bike for the time needed, but hoping a member could. Dave
  32. Sixth Gen Buying Advice What to Look For? 27 Jan 2017 01:34 Cone, 10 years is an eternity for most riders, and you are a poster child for a VFR owner. Even with the issues experienced you've hung in. And this happens when you get a VFR. :goofy: Really, extremely, tough; to find…
  33. my 07RWB project/build 22 Jan 2017 01:11 3D, your build is just awesome. I didn't think the new 8th gen wheel would look as sweet as it does but holy cow. Sometimes you just have to see the artwork to appreciate it. Really nice.
  34. my 07RWB project/build 20 Jan 2017 02:23 3D, did not want to add any additional drive other than what you are currently working at. Just this is pretty cool. :-) Take your time but know many are watching. And thank you tremendously for sharing your adventure…
  35. my 07RWB project/build 20 Jan 2017 00:15 I don't know about the rest of the esteemed board but I'm going nuts waiting to see what's next with this build. :cheerleader: :beer: Dave
  36. my 07RWB project/build 7 Jan 2017 01:07 Dang, there goes mine too. This is now a daily check for me. :-)
  37. my 07RWB project/build 6 Jan 2017 01:30 Holy cow, the mock up even stripped is making me weak in the knees. Just gorgeous. Can't wait to see it all together. :-) Dave
  38. my 07RWB project/build 3 Jan 2017 00:34 This is simply epic. :-)
  39. Steering Stem Ram Ball--Why Not? 29 Dec 2016 00:21 Second for the telferizer mount. Perfect. Not cheap but perfect never is.
  40. my 07RWB project/build 27 Nov 2016 23:16 3D, the bits you've pictured above the wheel, are you painting those too?
  41. my 07RWB project/build 27 Nov 2016 02:38 3D, RC has done an ace job on his ride. I'm with you though on the wheels. Simple white is best and really detonates the colour scheme. I'm all in favour of what makes us all happy so no best recipe imho. As long as you…
  42. my 07RWB project/build 26 Nov 2016 00:58 :goofy: You need the power 3D, unle,,,, hmm. Beautiful bike and keep us definitely in the loop with your progress. Dave
  43. Joint Relief 24 Nov 2016 00:58 Doubled, I got a set of those, but couldn't adjust the brake lever low enough. I've checked since then to see what users have done but maybe my feet and legs are just too long. 34" inseam and size 11's. Obviously you've…
  44. Upgraded My Suspension to DMr 4 Nov 2016 01:09 Epyon, the big difference with the 6th gen from what you have currently is the side bags integrate really nicely. The steering is a touch sharper, and there's no cam gear whine. I think the 6th gen looks more modern,…
  45. Upgraded My Suspension to DMr 27 Oct 2016 01:30 Old boy. I have to disagree with you as I think they are the absolute best at what they are. The best all round bike ever made. My truth. :cheerleader: Dave
  46. Upgraded My Suspension to DMr 26 Oct 2016 00:58 Epyon, sounds somewhat off note to the original post. You seem to be looking for something different from the VFR. Track and road will definitely be different. And frankly, if you're doing a lot of gravel and such, not…
  47. Joint Relief 20 Oct 2016 02:00 Esteemed list, I'm following this thread also as GS has shared concerns which I have. First off, I love the VFR. Love it and on my second. Like more comfort though - I'm going to follow the route with the airhawk as I…
  48. Ducati new VFR 6 Oct 2016 00:41 A couple downers. The colour of choice is only available on the S model. Is it me or does the seat look really, really restrictive? Lastly, the footpegs look pretty pinched up. Pillion, umm no. I also second the concern…
  49. Ducati new VFR 4 Oct 2016 23:42 Beautiful ride. Keen to follow the news on this one. Dave
  50. Recommended solutions to reduce wind noise 13 Sep 2016 00:14 Francois, as you know, don't mess with tinnitus. A good set of custom ear plugs, plus additional neoprene installed by the ear sockets of the helmet can really help. Most helmets have nothing in the ear pockets. A…
