  1. EXO StormRider Heated Vest 27 Jan 2011 17:41 For Sale Here - my EXO2 heated vest. I simply don't use this vest much any more and I'm recently re -MARRIED. So..... I've been asked to unload some of the stuff that is filling my closets and storage areas. No Problem…
  2. Racing death's spark this question... 31 Aug 2010 02:46 The track is an embarrassment. Hayden lost one of his knee sliders after slamming in to a bump and spent most of the race tearing a hole in his leathers where the puck was supposed to drag. I guess these guys can come…
  3. Racing death's spark this question... 30 Aug 2010 23:21 Multiple blunt force trama... We didn't know the extent of the injuries until later in the day. I left the speedway and headed for the airport - the news was breaking and it was devastating. The medical examiner will…
  4. Tales of SPOT 10 Jun 2010 01:57 I set up a tracking site, with a password, so my family could keep tabs on me. The level of anxiety seemed to be reduced and everyone is more relaxed when I take off for a few days. Except the dog. He still sits by the…
  5. Tales of SPOT 9 Jun 2010 11:58 I own and use a SPOT II and found it to be quite useful. You pay extra for the TRACKING feature, but in my situation I believe it's worth the $49.99 per year fee. I have other sources for the roadside assistance, so I…
  6. Motorcycle Training worthless 23 Apr 2010 12:01 Last year I decided to go back and start over. I bought a new bike and made a choice to try and improve/upgrade my riding. To complete this process I enrolled in the local MSF rider course - Free in Pennsylvania. I own…
  7. Official TEXASMAC Memorial Ride thread 2010 7 Apr 2010 13:28 I have my vacation days all lined up and my room booked for Friday and Saturday night. It's for sure - I'm in for 2010. The Franklin Motel has over a dozen rooms available for that weekend if anyone needs to know. Two…
  8. Mag-Knight Tank Protector 16 Mar 2010 23:32 No matter how hard I tried a little dirt always worked its way behind the cover. The edges were easy to clean and I was careful. The deeper the dirt went UNDER the harder it was to prevent the "rub" - dull spots in the…
  9. Just Got An 05, Tons Of Questions On Problems I May Have... 5 Aug 2009 23:11 That is such a shame that your bike is acting up. My 05 ran flawlessly day after day. I'm responding here to encourage you to keep after the electrical gremlins until you have the same bike I rode. There are quite a few…
  10. Vfr Climbed Mt. Washington 16 Jun 2009 01:57 I will be doing that same climb next weekend. Coming in on the Kancamagus Highway, up and back to Mt Washington and then a run through the White Mountains on 302 to get turned around for the ride back home. And that…
  11. Upper Right Fairing Cost? 5 Jun 2009 01:55 I replaced my upper cowl when a car bumped me in a parking lot. It's all one piece - no left/right. The insurance company was good about it but you'll need an estimate from a dealer INCLUDING installation. That might…
  12. Going, Going..... Gone 26 May 2009 21:26 Hey Seb - I'll be up for the a ride in the Fall - is it too soon to register? I'll be riding at 6/10ths and not 9/10ths , but I will get there. So take it for a ride... I was quite surprised at the whole package. Not…
  13. Going, Going..... Gone 26 May 2009 16:30 I just traded my 2005 VFR on a 2009 BMW F 800 GS - GPS and Hard Case equipped. I had a long long ride back from T-Mac with lots of time to think. My VFR has been good to me and it was everything I expected it to be and…
  14. Dunlop Roadsmarts:5000 Mile Wear Report 11 May 2009 11:23 New ROADSMART tyres and I'm happy with my choice. It's only been 600 miles but first impressions suggest everything that has already been said. They just feel great. OK, all new tires feel great, but I hope this time…
  15. Canyon Dancer 2 10 May 2009 03:28 Well I've added a CONDOR Wheel Chock to my trailer but I'm reluctant to go anywhere without a tie down connected to the bars. Maybe I'm too old school or just paranoid. I'm gonna go with a wheel chock, a set of tie…
  16. Bar Ends 9 May 2009 11:05 A friend of mine filled the bars on his motorcycle with "steel shot" to increase the mass and reduce vibration. He said the result was noticeable, but not miraculous. Good luck with your modification / upgrade. Let us…
  17. Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) 6 May 2009 00:17 I've done well with Dunlops over the years. K-81's on my race bike back in the 70's. But lately it's been getting worse. If these ROADSMART tyres don't do the trick I'll switch brands. The cupping on the front wheel is…
  18. Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) 5 May 2009 19:44 I did NOT do so well with my D220 either. The rear went in 4000 miles and I really am not so aggressive with my driving habits. I just switched to the ROADSMART front/rear. I hope the wear is better. Brian
  19. Hey Guys, Look What I Did To Today! 1 May 2009 02:34 OH MY GOD... that sucks. I'm glad you made it through OK. I can't imagine what you just went through, but you seem to be safe now. Sorry to hear about your crash.
  20. How I Installed Kanadian Ken's Solo Rack 31 Mar 2009 02:45 I'll take four bolt/inserts. Please. Name your price. A very cool solution!
  21. Oem Sidebag Cover Stop Cords Broke - Again 22 Feb 2009 12:19 I took 2.5 mm climbing cord and made my own. There is a reflective thread woven into the sheath of the cord and the ends are melted. I used polyester thread to sew the loops and crazy glue to keep everything from coming…
  22. How Do You Make Winter Shorter? 31 Jan 2009 03:11 here is what your SILVER VFR will look like... and yes I love the OEM Hard Side Cases. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1186029870/gallery_5799_3254_1073068.jpg DSC00039.JPG Oh Yea... I got the top case and…
  23. Kanadianken's Vfr Rack 27 Jan 2009 01:12 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1186029870/gallery_5799_3254_562942.jpg DSC00037.JPG OEM hard side case and OEM top box... the system works GREAT. Brian
  24. 6th Generation Brake Updates 1 Jan 2009 23:42 Same question different thread. How many miles did you go before needing the brake repair? Rotors and pads? I had SS brake lines on my Honda 919 - the feel was rock hard and much improved. Very sensitive, which I really…
  25. Got The Hard Bags Installed On My 07 Rwb! 21 Dec 2008 04:07 GOD - that bike looks good. I have always been fond of white when I buy cars, but the RED WHITE BLUE look Great on a VFR. Good luck with all the travel that the bags will make possible.
  26. 6th Gen Battery Prices 14 Dec 2008 02:41 Ok, guys... Just HOW long is a battery good for? Miles / years? I'd like to know what to expect from my gently used VFR.
  27. Collected My 2007 Vfr Today ... 1 Dec 2008 23:52 There can be nothing better than living in the UK - my point of view. My family is mostly from Aldershot where my father was an instructor in the army school of physical training. I miss it a great deal. I'm stuck here…
  28. Cool Voltmeter Alternative 20 Nov 2008 20:01 Considering the possible problems that our generation 6 VFR are having a way of monitoring the voltage might be helpful. I do not have a ground problem and the recall HAS been done on my bike. I would be interested in…
  29. Tallest And Widest Screen For Best Protection? 28 Oct 2008 21:04 The GIVI is the TALLEST. I have the the ZG sport touring screen and I was interested in the GIVI but it only comes in the smoke tint at this point.
  30. Fuse Block Choices 27 Oct 2008 20:36 That is a great location and a great photo. The FUZE Block has the relay in the box - a little less complicated. It just arrived... photos next.
  31. Fuse Block Choices 27 Oct 2008 13:05 House has a great idea with coating the back of the Centech fuse block. I didn't like the exposed circuit board on the back side and the relay was part of a separate wiring harness. Lots of wires. I had the choice to…
  32. Fuse Block Choices 24 Oct 2008 02:12 I have a new Centech fuse panel in front of me and I don't like it. There is a great deal of circut board exposed on the back and it seems to far from weatherproof. So guys - here is the question. Blue Sea, Centech or…
  33. My Vfr Was Hit Today 7 Oct 2008 20:22 Ok, here is an insurance question. The parts list shows a PART NUMBER for just the hard side case, listed as a saddle bag RT and LT. So Honda has parts for BOTH sides but the dealer wants me to buy a pair and the…
  34. Camera Hound 5 Oct 2008 12:17 Who did your wheels? WHO DID YOUR WHEELS? I have a silver 05 and I thought to polish the rims. Maybe paint instead. The white look on your RWB is a great look. It's a fantastic addition to an already striking paint…
  35. My Vfr Was Hit Today 3 Oct 2008 01:09 So I get this letter from the IRS saying that the rest of my disputed tax refund will be sent and $1,904 is deposited to my bank account. I DON'T want to drop $500 of that on a deductible. I can make this right but it…
  36. My Vfr Was Hit Today 2 Oct 2008 20:20 No complications YET. My would be Lady Crasher was quite accepting of the fact that she ran over a motorcycle. And it seem like a regular part of her day. Her papers were in order and she promised to make good on the…
  37. My Vfr Was Hit Today 2 Oct 2008 19:14 I had a very small scrape last year when the Honda lady pushed me back out of an intersection. Her bumper made contact with the other side of the cowl near the turn signal and she was MORE than happy to write me a check…
  38. My Vfr Was Hit Today 2 Oct 2008 17:33 It's a perfect fall day here in Pennsylvania. A little on the cool side, but the sun is shining and a nice breeze is blowing. I had no idea my day would turn out like it did. I went to the local Target to buy some…
  39. Little People, Big Trucks Vs. Little Bikes 20 Sep 2008 11:50 You look to have a nice bike. Sorry to hear about the damage. You will NEVER be happy with a glued on repair. It will always be a half assed solution to what should be a proper repair. If your friend is such a nice guy…
  40. Say Howdy To Another Vfr800 Owner 6 Sep 2008 01:31 WELCOME ! Albany is prefect - couple hours up to the Adirondacks. Lots of good riding right out your back door. New Bike - Just in time for the Catskills Ride first weekend in October. Get the clear plastic stick on…
  41. Someone Crunched My Front Fender 25 Aug 2008 13:03 Hey Viffer, I can't imagine how you must have felt when you saw the damage to your front fender. A Terrible shock regardless of how you look at it. I'm glad you were able to see past the DAMAGE and know that if the bike…
  42. The Best Cruise Control? 20 Aug 2008 22:05 I have used the throtlemeister for years now and it's great. A quality product that looks great on my bike.
  43. Safety Recall 9 Jul 2008 10:56 I was very very nervous about the recall, but I eventually got my head around finding a dealer to complete the work CORRECTLY. Planet Honda in Chadds Ford Pennsylvania (near the delaware state line) offered to do the…
  44. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 24 Jun 2008 02:01 I'm with MELVIS. I don't shop WalMart either. And K&N oil and air filters are in my cars and bikes... all the time. No problems.
  45. Speeding Ticket In A National Park 13 May 2008 21:06 My brother rides an old Yamaha Crusier. Over the weekend he got a speeding ticket in a national park. Zion to be exact in UTAH. The debate at this point is if the "performance award" will show up on his insurance for…
  46. Initial Review Of Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart Tires 17 Mar 2008 12:14 OK... dual compound for the RoadSmart rear tire. How about the 2 CT's - both tires dual compound or just the REAR?
  47. Aerostich - Darien Or Roadcrafter 2pc ? 8 Nov 2007 04:05 The two piece Darian I had seemed very weather proof. I wanted a suit that I could wear around town AFTER a ride and the one piece AlpineStars suit I had was difficult to sit and eat dinner in. With the two piece suit I…
  48. Avon Storm Review 21 Jun 2007 02:00 My new 2 CTs never came. Waited for weeks. The rear tire was backordered so I fell back on Dulop 220's. I know, I know, a completely different kind of tire. So now I get great milage, handles well and I hope to do…
  49. Handlebar Risers 29 Mar 2006 12:35 I used a trailer to move my 919 around when I need to and plan to do the same with my new VFR. I have the nylon straps from "Canyon Dancer" that make the tie down process quite a lot easier. Anyone want to comment on…
