- List Of New Vfr Models JEEZUZ look at the ginormous trunk on that thing?! And we all wanted one back in the day..... Did it even have any advantage over a VFR, in power or less mass?

- I Guess I'll Have To Ask.....? If I were that interested, I would not hesitate to buy the first model year. Honestly, how many other models have had issues? The only big one I can think of were the cooling issues on the current Goldwing when it first…

- Shifting Into Second, And Shift Points +1 on adjusting the shift lever down one notch... this will result in it being a more positive shift for the same location of your boot. Just watch out you don't get the reverse problem - not downshifting positively.
- Laminar Lip On 5th Gen So Enzed, what about taking a dremel or such to the stock screen (carefully) and getting rid of the top side lip? Has anyone tried this? The ground down edge might not look too hot, but it could be polished down with…
