Ok, I have a Scott's steering damper for my CRF450RL, and even though I know the Gen 8 VFR doesnt need it, I figured why not? So I ordered the mount kit for the Gen 6(they didnt make one for the 8), and upon opening the box, I could immediately tell that the steering tube nut for the mount is too short. Challenge accepted.
So the question is whether or not an extension exists. OR.... should I have a machine shop make a nut with an extended base?
Even better if someone already knows of an available solution.
Great if you want to do it. But, I wonder if this is the first case of a VFRD member seeking additional unnecessary weight on the VFR. 😂
Most of us like to trim it off!
Haha, I know. But my other bikes weigh like half of what the VFR does. And I'm a gadget guy, so I have to do it. Even if it's not needed, I want to have the ability to pop it on there.
