All 16- A Little Disapointed With My New Vfr Gut the stock exhaust cans, paint it yellow or whatever you like, enjoy. What the heck, almost anything you spend on it at this point is going to have a tiny marginal cost :(.
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? I used to have an inversion board, but I didn't see any noticeable results. But, then again, maybe I wasn't using it "correctly." For you guys who find an inversion table helps, what is your routine and frequency of…
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? I thought I'd add one more thing -- I talked with the guy (forgot his name) at Convertibars (Invex Corp). Very nice and helpful. Sounds like they'd be good to do business with. The Convertibar setup, however, costs…
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? Great ideas -- clearly, I'm not the only one that loves the VFR but finds the ergos just off somewhat. And, the ideas about stretching, working out, MT, etc. are very well taken. I'm trying to be much better about…
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? Thanks for the ideas. Get a 1300? Not going to happen. While I'm stuck on slabs a lot these days, my riding of choice is aggressive twisty/mountain riding. Unfortunately, I'm about 2 hours away from that, which means…

Really, the bars you describe would hit the tank at full lock, I think. My bars do now just about. I would think if…
- My Aching Back -- Are There Risers That Go Back Further And Higher Than Helibars? Unfortunately, most of the riding I do now involves longer slab runs, and my back has been getting worse for a while. I have ridden with heli-bars a while, which help, but would like something that goes up even higher…
- Engine Temp When mine gets to about 222, the fan comes on and it creeps down a few degrees until I start rolling again. Wouldn't worry, but check your coolant level.
- Oil Filter Is Stuck! Happened to me the first time. It's in a nasty place compared to every other bike I've worked on. :mad: The only way I could get it off was, first, use a screwdriver to see if I could start the twist. After that didn't…
- What Is Average Clutch Life? I can feel my clutch starting to engage pretty far out these days. Still works fine, though. I have about 18,000 on my 2004. Just curious to know if this is more or less miles than most folks have when they have to…
- Givi Luggage Pics 05 Vfr Thanks a bunch!!
- Givi Luggage Pics 05 Vfr Very sweet! I like those. Couple of questions for you: 1) what are the model numbers for the top and side cases? and 2) how long did it take for you to install them. Thanks a bunch for sharing! Very helpful.
- Gutted Exhaust -- Don't Know If I Like The Sound -- Now What? grizfan I think you are gonna like the pipe packing job with scouring pads. It made the exhaust perfect for me! It still has a rumble and it is way louder than the stock pipe. The pads just took the bark away. Last…
- Gutted Exhaust -- Don't Know If I Like The Sound -- Now What? Thanks for the info everyone! I took Grizfan's suggestion and bought some stainless scouring pads. I'll let folks know how that works for me. Who knows, maybe a really good way to get good sound is to gut, then go back…
- Gutted Exhaust -- Don't Know If I Like The Sound -- Now What? Rivcyko It helps if you get rid of the damn whistle hole sized exit tubes. Check side by side exhaust thread. Still a little tinny, as the job was fresh. Much better no. Check my ride videos. Not sure where the "side by…
- Gutted Exhaust -- Don't Know If I Like The Sound -- Now What? As soon as I got my '04 I knew that I needed to do something with the exhaust. Read a bunch of posts here and decided to do the gut job. Worked out fine, and had a local guy weld the caps back on. I like the rumbling at…
