- OIL Whatever . Let me re-iterate. This was a fairly low-mileage clutch in good condition. No slip, no issues, good springs, not even CLOSE to the service limit upon inspection. I put put the EC oil in by mistake (had it…

- Fan Switch Temperature Options [image: View Post]spud786, on 30 May 2010 - 11:59 PM, said: Yeh , whats the problem, The bike is designed to keep the heat off the rider and the cooling system does that very well . The bike works as its supposed too,…
- Radiator Fan The Superhawk fan swap is the "hot" setup. Works for me. The thing just cools off regardless. No more watching the temps climb up when in walking-speed and stop&go traffic.

- Zombie Skull pegs It happens. Ride dirt enough and you'll crash just about every which way. Most painful peg crash was once the peg came down on the sole of my foot pinning it against the ground. Can you say "massive soft tissue damage"?…

- What's your favorite tank bag? K-drive "luxury" tankbag. It's made for a BMW GS, but works great on the VFR. It's HUGE and can telescope even HUGER. I like the side pockets which work well for tool change and things you want at hand. And it fits well…

- What;s an RC30 worth? It's worth exactly what someone is willing to give them for it -no more and no less. That value will change season to season and year to year -and maybe even day to do. If they aren't willing to take any given offer…

- First mod to the VFR1200F I'd install this mod to the exhaust if I had a gen7. It would make the exhaust look one hell of a lot better. Heck, one could use it on the whole bike and it would be a tremendous improvement :bliss:
