Last 50 of 103- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round Two) Without any luggage The Akrapovic really looks great on the 8th gen. Could I ask where you obtained the front wheel chock? It looks like it could pull double duty in a trailer as well as the garage. They are from…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round Two) I am not sure these resistors are working correctly.... I ride year-round and the blinkers flash quickly when it's very cold. If it's above freezing, no issues. Looking for alternates to see if they make a difference.…
- Texasmac 2015. May 28Th - 31St Sorry guys had to change it by a week. By the time I called today there was only 50% of the rooms left for Saturday night the previous week. So what's the date? I tried to book for the dates in the original post and…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round Two) I decided to replace the bulbs with LED versions while I wait on more products to be released for the 8th Gen and/or more ideas to him me. This was a fairly simple deal, but you will need 6 Ohm load resistors to keep…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Same on my bike.... CW is worried that the reflectors might come loose and you would lose your tag, but I don't see it happening. The way SHVAR and I have them mounted is legal (in GA at any rate.)
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy budorat house Thanks SHvar. I have been communicating with Competition Werks to help them with a pre-modified model (or whatever they decide to produce) for the 8th Gen. It has been a little more involved than I…

- Taller Touring Windscreen? Let me know when they make one for a Gen 8 bike... Not sure what you mean, the ERMax is a double bubble for the 8th Gen and available now. http://www.motomachi...14-_p_5029.html
- Taller Touring Windscreen? EFMax has a double bubble http://www.ermax.fr/..._2014-2222.html that you can find in the US at http://www.motomachines.com/
- Can Someone In South Africa, Spain, Or Italy Help Me Out? If any of the guys in South Africa, Spain or Italy have a few minutes, I am looking to pickup one or two Givi T459 soft bags. I have one and love it (but sooner or later it will wear out and I want to keep a replacement…
- Need Some Help From The Uk Crowd Thanks Dutchy (and everyone else who chimed in as well!) You guys are the best. Let me know if I can ever return the favor!! If any of the guys in South Africa, Spain or Italy have a few minutes, I am also looking to…
- Need Some Help From The Uk Crowd For the curious, why not the OEM luggage rack? Saw one the other day, its nicely integrated & subtle. The total opposite of that Harbour Bridge like monstrosity that Honda offered for the 6th Gen. I may do that as well…
- Need Some Help From The Uk Crowd I found some Givi parts that are only available in the UK (for some reason) that I want to purchase. I contacted several US vendors and they said to check back in a month or two... but I don't feel like waiting for a…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 It didn't take much to break the nut loose holding the baffle in, but man, we can't seem to get it out of there? I looked at the schematic and it definitely has a curved pipe holding it in place. Mike from Traxxion and…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Well dang, looks like the bolt that holds the baffle in the Arkapovic is spot welded in place.... why in the world would they do that? Maybe it's legal to remove in other parts of the world and not in the US? Should I…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Dan told me a few times the were waiting on mid-pipes.... wonder if they got mixed up?
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I love how light the Akrapovic feels in comparison to the stock can and am digging the sound as well. (I do like my Leo's a bit better, but the Akra is sweet as well!) Check out the installed can... [image: Attached…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I talked with Greg at TBR today. He told me the wrong length carbon came in. 1" shorter than what it was supposed to be. I asked to build me one anyways and ship it. Said he could ship next week. If I don;t have…

- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I got tired of waiting on TBR and ordered the Akrapovic pipe as well.... we'll see which one arrives first and I may try both (so I may have a discounted pipe for sale as I am sure they won't return once mounted.) The…
- Vfr Gen 8 Shifter I haven't seen this yet, but I am a lazy shifter and miss second a lot, so I installed a Factory Pro kit which solved the issue. I have seen the bike lose track of what gear I am in on the display, but who looks at that…
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th Another member that liked the 8th gen suspension. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/78745-checked-out-the-8th-gen-today-and/?p=962089 Starting to wonder if those of us that don't dig it 100% got…
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th dfh mdr vfr As someone who is looking at this bike, I am saddened by the fact that it seems to have suspension issues. My 6th Gen's suspension was fine after I had it setup. No mods needed. I did not need or expect it…
- Test Of New Thread errrrr.... hacked by Kanadian Ken!
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th Here was my original reply to Das Bone.... I am going to hang on to both bikes for awhile as each has it's own merits. The 6th gen is smooth as silk with Leo's and a PCV installed. I also love the Sargent seat when…
- Test Of New Thread ignore - just a test. Kkkkken
- More Info On The Factory Accessories Ror The 8Th Gen If you are looking for more information on the factory accessories for the 8th gen, I stumbled on the online manuals/installation instructions today. You can find them here: http://cssportal.css...t.asp?group=oth (they…
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th Craig, sorry I took a couple of days to answer you PM... missed the email that it had arrived. Would it be OK to post my response to you here for others to read?
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I wonder if the PC5 from a 6th gen will plug into this bike, ie is the wiring harness similar? I have no idea. I can take a pic of the harness...if I knew where to look. I'm assuming under one of the seats. lol I am…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Two Brothers just joined the list of available slip-on systems... http://www.twobros.c...-S1R-SO-14.html [image: attachicon.gif]TwoBros.jpg Just ordered one... we'll see how fast it arrives :) Did you order direct from…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) I decided I might be able to get the tag mount looking a little better and a little higher, so I grabbed the Dremel and went to work. It didn't take too long to take the top tab off... [image: Attached File]…
- Sat Nav Mounting For This Bike Check out my thread here: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/78605-eighth-gen-modathon-round-one/ You can see my TechMount and Ram mounts (for comparison purposes) and decide if either works for you.

- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) Thanks... of course the day AFTER I tear up my seat, I find this (which should work with the Givi plate.) http://shop.sw-motec...typid=149388854 [image: Attached File] gpt_01_519_15000__b_zusatz_20.jpg 31.67KB 20…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) I really don't like the factory tag mount, and CW doesn't have one for this bike yet, so I ordered the mount for the 1200 VFR to see if it would work. It's not overly pretty, and there is only one bolt holding the whole…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) quickshifters rock. Had one on my S1000RR, sounded like a gp bike. Hey house, next time you have your bike in bits can you take some photos of the rear shock mounts, and mabe some measurments of it? Inquiring minds want…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) Just got an email from Chris at Dynojet.... the anticipate being ready to ship a PowerCommander V for the new VFR in six months or so. He stated he would email me once it's ready. Having raised the tank, I didn't see…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) Just ordered the FactoryPro Shift kit. Marc (and I) believe that it will fit/work. This kit made a massive difference in shifts on my 6th gen. I don't think I have missed a shift since I installed their kit. You can…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) @switchblade - I can take some pics of the airbox when I get back next week @skids - The adaptiv parts are a radar detector and laser jammer @HS - Still have the 6th gen... will bring it to TMAC next year for you to…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) There isn't much available for the new VFR yet, but I picked up a few items over the last week. Family and work got in the way for a couple of days, but I blocked off some time to install everything last night. I…
- 2011 CBR600F Man, that black one is sharp! Wish it came in a 750 ;)
- Michelin PR2 lovers, here is new rubber for you to test! I'll slap on a set as soon as I can find them....loved my PR2's. Heck, I could probably get by with Shinkos ;)
- Official TEXASMAC Memorial Ride thread 2010 I remember the first fall ride I attneded with you in Robbinsville 2006 and the few times I have riden with you more recently. You are much improved, a really good rider now, not just a good rider for someone who lives…
- Cooking with Hydrogen. And here I was excited about getting new tires ....
- 6th Gen Low Beam Bulb Replacement--l'il Help? Use a hammer, heh. Seriously, once you squeeze the connector off (3 and 9 o'clock squeeze), pull the boot (just grip and rip), then push the clip down and slightly away from you, it should come right out. The hardest…
- Canyon Dancer 2 The condors are cool, but with a wheeldock, you don't need any tie-downs on your handlebars. Cornercarver and I hauled our bikes to TMAC and back last year with them.... the handlebars were three inches apart on the…
- 6th Gen Custom Exhaust You made two, right? heh
- Hey Guys, Look What I Did To Today! Those cagers can be tough to avoid :) Glad you walked away!!
