If I remember correctly, this bike belongs to a forum member...and hopefully we can have more pictures and feedback...

This seems to be a custom (German) made front fork.
Check out (and look at the pricetag!!!!)

Ooh, 5 grand US.

Those custom machined fork bottoms are pricey!!!

Dear all,

Yeap, it is my 2012 VFR 1200 DCT. It has been accomplished only a couple of weeks ago with a number of add on, in particular:

Öhlins FGRT front fork
Öhlins TTX36 shock
Precision bearings in the steering head, the swing arm and the TTX brackets (www.emilschwarz.de)
ABM MultiClip steering bar ends (http://www.ab-m.de/e...ducts/multiclip)
PCV
Acrapovic muffler together with a hand made exhaust pipe system by Herbert Kainzinger (http://vfr-1200-tuning.de)
K&N air filter
OEM Heated grips
Sargent seat with heating (picture was done before mounting the Öhlins TTX shock)
Geelong Carbon rear hugger (I had reported on this earlier: http://www.vfrdiscus...r-vfr-1200-dct/)
Bridgestone Battlax S20 (for me the best tires I ever had, a huge temperature window, starting to work close to zero degree Celsius, and just fantastic in wet conditions) with 90 degree bent metal valves

The result is just phenomenal! Last week I had two track days on the Nürburgring Nordschleife (the 20.8 km long old racing track), doing all over 850 km on the track. I was with a group of 5, the others driving R6, R1, S1000RR and ZX10R and I was able to keep the pace, even though I was strictly staying in the automatic mode "S" all the time.

It was just amazing for them as for me to observe that this was possible with such a big and heavy machine, and, on top of all, with an automatic gear box. Apart from the still tremendous weight, the bike is now just perfect for me, a great piece of machinery!

BTW: The fuel economy was astounding, too. I have only burnt 8 liters for 100 km average during both track days.

Cheers
Markus

So...
When will you get the carbon Dymags? :tongue:

Does the bike have lambda eliminator they list on the tuner's site?

The google translation isn't great but it appears like it might fix the power hole in the DCT from 2000 - 4000 rpm. Expensive but it may be the only solution until someone comes out with a reflash of the ECU for the DCT.
