New Member Hello

Finally got around to joining the forum :smile:
My impressions so far about the VFR is that it is an awesome motorcycle and really enjoy riding it. I have the clutch version although the DCT was a pretty cool setup.

I took it out for a test run and a christening session at Buttonwillow Raceway a few days after purchasing it. It performed surprisingly well for a "heavy" bike. The only shortcomings were the mediocre suspension and lousy OEM tires which overheated within 4 laps. These tires are worthless for spirited riding. My next track run will be at Laguna Seca with full blown race slicks. If anybody can direct me to the "go to man" for suspension upgrades - that would be awesome! Rearsets would be a nice addition as well.

My current mods:
*Corbin Smuggler Seat
*Dynojet PC V (standard DJ website map)
*Heli Bars (don't care much for them)
*OEM heated grips and Saddlebags
*ASV Levers
*Leo Vince Slip-on
*LED GhostLight brake lights (I have one mounted on each inner-side of the saddlebags)
*Galfer brake pads F/R
*A Personal modified "fender eliminator" kit :tongue:

Here are a few pics of my bike:

Hello mate - welcome!

Welcome. I like the smuggler Part as well.......

Really nice VFR, and I have to agree with Monk...real nice Smuggler's seat, looks really nice. Have fun at Laguna Seca!
