  4. Replacement fairing screws/bolts 26 Jun 2012 18:48 When I purchased my '98 VFR I would have gladly paid more if it came with Dzus fasteners for attaching the body parts, like I had on my '90 RC30. SpeedwayMotors offers some nice looking ones . . .…

  7. New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. 25 May 2012 07:00 Next thing I would get rid of is the key fob, which often ends up scratching the surface of the triple clamp.
  8. RJ's 98 VFR800 3 May 2012 09:44 That key fob could mar the finish and reduce your resale value. Key only :happy:

  10. New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. 21 Feb 2012 09:48 Beautiful bike. The first "focus" should be electrical. In the upper right hand corner of this page, put "regulator" into the topic box. The 5th generation bikes are notorious for regulator/stator, etc. problems. Next,…

  13. My New Vfr 2009! 16 Mar 2008 22:17 The 6th generation guys are going to flame me for this, but how about another rendition with only two lights (like the 5th gen. bikes)? Also draw it with an easily removable (without tools) rear seat cowl and a two…

  15. The Official Oil Thread 10 Dec 2007 11:59 KENDALL, best crude oil in the US. Have used it for years in everything. Change it and OEM filter every 3,000 miles. Only problem is it is getting harder to find.
  16. Regulator Rectifier 21 Oct 2007 12:45 The '99 doesn't have the feedback wire to the battery like the 6th generation bikes have. However, the 5th generation bikes seem to have a heating problem with the R/R and that is why I added the fan. Also, the stock…
