  1. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 31 Oct 2020 00:56 Conti Road Attack 3....grip like a sport tire, wear like a touring tire. If you have a 5.5” rear try a 170 and be amazed at the feeling, it is as though your VFR lost 100 lbs in weight.
  2. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 24 Aug 2020 18:09 lazyeye, 7/2/2020 at 12:50 PM Beginning of June I changed my tires. I had a set of Pilot Road 5s on my 800 that I'd mounted in September. After 6500 miles the rear was past the wear bars and handling like crap. The…
  3. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 13 Mar 2020 19:33 SEBSPEED, 3/12/2020 at 11:17 AM I'll see about getting another batch going. Looking into 5th gen fitment.

  5. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 19 Aug 2019 16:14 Rush2112, 8/8/2019 at 8:20 PM I can’t believe I’m seeing what I’m seeing.... actual, live in the flesh (stainless steel), new performance headers for the VFR800’s! I hope the more recent owners of VFR800s appreciate the…
  6. Wtf Is A Fusar? Group Buy 1 Aug 2019 03:12 JZH, 7/19/2019 at 5:07 PM I got two! Ciao, JZH I bought ten sets. Was going to gift them to my riding friends and others and outfit the spare helmets for when friends show up to ride here. My apologies to the great VFRD…
  7. WTB-Gen5 (1998) tail light housing 30 Mar 2019 02:53 I know I have a couple around here somewhere....
  8. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 29 Mar 2019 15:08 2 hours ago, BiKenG Quick question about the 8th Gen version. it will need the splayed front headers to clear the rads, but will the outlet accept the 6th Gen high level pipe/mufflers? I am not aware of anyone mounting…
  9. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 2 Mar 2019 12:40 Wow, just dropped in to catch up between flights and you guys have been very busy. The clever bung fitting references and not being a pain in Wades butt are only exceeded by the work actually accomplished. I can hardly…
  10. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 3 Jan 2019 03:30 Wow, thank you guys for bringing this to fruition! It seemed to be the old 80/10 rule, where the last 10% never gets done - until now. i will need five sets. 1. 5th gen with PC2 and Wolf exhaust, can upgrade the fuel…
  11. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 6 Nov 2018 01:16 Stray, ‎11‎/‎3‎/‎2018 at 4:54 AM Interesting! But is that down to merge design or tube diameter/cat? Or even the different front down pipes for front mounted rad? VFROZ, did your 5th gen lose top end and gain torque…
  12. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 2 Nov 2018 21:41 14 minutes ago, VFROZ A clue to this discussion is the fact that on 5G/6G they merge left and right. On the 8G they merge front and rear. The 8G lost top end power but gained low end torque. Can the lost top end power…
  13. Digital Lcd Dash Project 10 Oct 2018 03:05 I know this is a dormant thread but it is the closest I could find to my question. I am building a track bike and looking at track bike displays, can anyone confirm that the 8th gen is canbus compatible? I am thinking…

  16. PRB’s 5th annual Fall Ride! Sept 20-23. Marion, NC 10 Aug 2018 01:42 Is this shindig by invitation only?
  17. Beating a dead horse - thermostats and 5th gen operating temperture 23 Jul 2018 22:38 That doesn't seem like it would cause that big a discrepancy in operating temps. Was the new water pump the same as the old? no "improvements" inside...?
  18. Beating a dead horse - thermostats and 5th gen operating temperture 23 Jul 2018 22:15 And....air bubble? Silicone hose clamps loosening themselves? New 'stat good bad or indifferent? Low coolant or adequate?

  21. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 3 Jul 2018 00:56 OK, how does that saying go? "better never than late..." I am packing up the tow rig on Saturday with 3-4 VFRs and 3 VFRD'ers and heading towards Custer. As I read through this thread I see that I have missed several…
  22. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 10 Dec 2017 22:34 #25 booked for the Carver clan....arriving a day early and dragging azz out a day late.
  23. I need some guidance from the collective... 2 Jun 2017 17:03 The big flat 6 engine is a beast. The bike is long, no doubt, but just seems to fire forward with a turbine like thrust. I think it looks really good without the trunk. I will post some pics tonight and a link to the…

  28. I need some guidance from the collective... 31 May 2017 02:02 Well, wonder how the bike selection panned out. When you are sitting on a fastball and the guy on the mound flings one in towards your head that bends gently over the plate for strike three... To review the selection…
  29. Endurance Racing VF500 build. 11 May 2017 01:36 sportstu, 5/8/2017 at 1:49 PM This must be the most supportive forum in the world. Your comments are very much appreciated and I will keep you posted on the progress. Thanks to everyone. I may have a spare set of 49…
  30. Another V4 Coming? 22 Jan 2017 17:14 Would be very cool!
  31. 6th Gen - PR4 - GT or ST Tire coming from Angel GT? 17 Jan 2017 11:26 Get the PR4 or Bridgestone T30 Evo whichever is less costly. The B'stone perform slightly better than the PR4 in all conditions and last longer on my roads. They are usually less expensive to boot which make them my go…
  32. Victory Motorcycles to close 10 Jan 2017 20:40 Bummer. I agree with your assessment of the Victory offering, wish they had broadened the appeal by adding a sport/touring or a V4
  33. I need some guidance from the collective... 8 Jan 2017 00:37 No. Great idea though. And I am heading to the Clemson beating of Alabama in the morning so it will be later in the week before I get to try it out. Running into a few issues with off set on the 1200X wheel mounting…
  34. Tips for expensive item sales from Internet acquaintences. 8 Jan 2017 00:33 I have only had one bad purchase experience on VFRD (I know this is off topic from the op). I purchased a set of 25th anniversary plastics listed as in good shape, arrived at the sellers home at dusk, paid for them and…
  35. Let's talk tyres! 6 Jan 2017 20:34 thtanner, 1/4/2017 at 2:12 PM I've been a PR guy for a while. I tried T30 Evos for the first time and am happy with them so far. Ditto.

  37. I need some guidance from the collective... 1 Jan 2017 15:21 Thanks for that link Yoshi! I am going to lose most of my day reading it. This has me thinking I really need to get a leg over on the AT this week. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/vs4eJURvM8U?feature=oembed]

  40. I need some guidance from the collective... 31 Dec 2016 16:09 007, 12/28/2016 at 7:31 AM This makes the most sense of any of the recommendations. The only problem will be getting it done before the trip, and as I recall there are already a number of unfinished projects hanging in…
  41. I need some guidance from the collective... 31 Dec 2016 15:43 Sweeper, 12/27/2016 at 11:18 PM So you can't buy an 800x here but you can build one. Is it not mostly a parts bin special? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It appears to be not as much a parts bin special as we…
  42. I need some guidance from the collective... 27 Dec 2016 23:58 Definately the 2017 Triumph XCA as in addition to the cool new electric windscreen you get front and rear seat heaters and brembo brakes in place of the Triumph branded units on the 2015. The drawback is that the…
  43. I need some guidance from the collective... 25 Dec 2016 03:10 5 hours ago, KevCarver Lets fit an 8th Gen axle to a 5th (or 6th) Gen and mount up a Crosstourer 1200 rear spoked wheel! Find something for the front with a bit of extra travel and wire wheel. Then mount some flat bars…
  44. I need some guidance from the collective... 24 Dec 2016 04:29 The VFR1200X has extremely intrusive traction control and has lost some 50hp in the migration from the 1200F. If I go with a Honda it will be the Africa Twin. The Triumph Explorer XCA is the current front runner. Rode…
  45. I need some guidance from the collective... 23 Dec 2016 01:04 5 hours ago, KevCarver I just witnessed a Carver BMW group test ride, and I do believe the waters have muddied. I actually rode the bike he should take, '98 VFR 800! I read somewhere the '17 Africa Twin will have an…
  46. I need some guidance from the collective... 22 Dec 2016 19:48 We are committed as I agreed to go with him and thought the summer of 2018 was the goal. He was packaged out at his job last January and has been stepping up the planning. We are now leaving South Carolina on Wednesday…
  47. I need some guidance from the collective... 22 Dec 2016 15:57 This may be quirky enough for me.
  48. I need some guidance from the collective... 22 Dec 2016 15:37 If my bike budget is $20k'ish then I can certainly make a Versys very capable and stay well under budget. Good 1000Ninja engine and more in the vein of what I am looking for I think (99% street bias and a tall sporty…
  49. What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 22 Dec 2016 15:27 1 hour ago, Epyon007 Problem solved, oh yeah nevermind the US doesn't get this...... Not sure we could use it either IF it dropped the same % in HP as the VFR1200X compared to the standard VFR1200F. The reviews I read…
  50. I need some guidance from the collective... 22 Dec 2016 06:38 Bonus I have read about 30 accounts of various transAlaskan rides and how they prepared (body, bike and gear) and what they would have done differently. You have been there and I greatly value your thoughts (I think I…
