- 5th Gen VFR / BMW F800S initial comparison I added a new BMW F800R to my VFR800 (6 Gen) in April, and i've ridden it more than the VFR or the KLR combined. I bought it with the intention of riding it in the city only, but i have found it is such a likeble bike…

- What You Didn't Want Is Missing! Anyone notice the lack of VTEC? The lack of cylinder shutdown mechanisms etc? A lot of posters were getting really exercised about the bits that no sport bike needed, and Voila! they aren't there. John
- What Is This Apparantly Optional Hole? I have the holes as well, truly blessed to be Canadian. It is actually an element of the winter riding package, redirecting warm air fromt eh back of the headlights to the rider's chest. This came standard on all…

- Vfr Won't Make Lights Change [image: View Post]mechdziner714, on Jul 8 2009, 02:19 PM, said: I'd be willing to bet the circles are in the center of the coil not along the coils edges. The circles are actually on the right hand side of the "box". I…
- Vfr Won't Make Lights Change In Toronto the traffic department is very receptive to people phoning and reporting loops that are not sufficiently sensitive. They have adjusted a couple around my neighbourhood. They are also now marking the best…

- Garmin To Powerlet Connection I have a 12 inch powerlet to Garmin power cord that I plug into a steering stem powerlet outlet. i got it from Powerlet directly. It was a bit pricey, but it is a very clean and useful solution. John
- Canyon Dancer 2 I am very happy with my Canyon Dancer 2, I had had an earlier set much like the CD 1 and disn't like it tugging on the grips either. Thanks for the idea with the pipe insulation tubing, that should really work well, and…
- Back On The Vfr In the past 4 weeks or so since the snow left, I have been riding my KLR650 to better deal with the heaved and potholed pavement and the sand and gravel and salt left behind. It works well, but is a little short on…
- Power Outlet I went with the Powerlet steering stem plug as well, and then use a 1 into 2 splitter to have one Powerlet plug and one cig lighter type plug for my cell phone or ipod to charge up in the tank bag. I use a fusebox/relay…

- Got The Hard Bags Installed On My 07 Rwb! The white bags look really good, maybe better than the blue they recommend. That red bike lift is a nice looking piece. What make/model is it? John
- New Viffer Owner Welcome, it is a well known fact hat red is the faster colour and 03 is the best year!!! Hope you really enjoy the bike. John
- Aerostich Combat Touring Boots Elizilla, I will give the BMW store a try. They have a large selection of gear, and what with the "long way round" and "long way down" hype thay probably have a ful set of world traveller off-road gear! John
- Aerostich Combat Touring Boots Elizilla, There is a very good dealer for Frey Daytona in the Toronto area: www.riderschoice.ca They do not have a great range and are more race/sportbike in orientation. I will have to hunt a bit more for the boot…
- Aerostich Combat Touring Boots Interesting review. Elizilla, thank you very much for the detailed response. I too have a small foot and I have large calves, so finding a pair of boots that fits properly has always been a challenge. I may have to give…

- Aerostich - Darien Or Roadcrafter 2pc ? I bought my first Aerostich suit (a 2 piece in dayglo yellow). I think it is fantastic, I have never had a problem with putting it on or moving around once suited. At first I didn't have the elliptical zip in piece in…
