The seat is currently listed on Ebay as well if members would prefer to buy through there. If you would like to purchase it from Ebay, PM me and I'll adjust the price to what is advertised here for community members.



I also have the OEM windscreen and mufflers from my '05. Both items are in good working condition, no cracks, dents or dings (pics available upon request). I'll sell the windscreen for $30 shipped, but with the mufflers, I have no idea how much it would cost to ship something that friggen' heavy. From what I've seen listed, it's probably in the neighborhood of $40 (feel free to correct me!), let's say $100 + shipping so $140. Any overage in the shipping charge I'll gladly refund once the item is shipped!

Paypal works best for payment, but we can work out something if need be.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:25:43 +0000 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62515-6th-gen-sargent-seat-oem-windscreen-oem-mufflers/ http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62514-riding-gear-joe-rocket-honda-mesh-jacket-spidi-gloves/
Spidi Sport Composite R full gauntlet leather gloves. Size 2XL. Worn once just long enough to realize they don't fit. Original retail was $159, you can find them now on Ebay for around $100. Selling for $75 shipped.



Joe Rocket Honda mesh jacket. Red/Black, size XL. Used but good condition, no rips or tears, never been down. Couple of small snags in the mesh where it came in contact with the velcro on my gloves. Includes full length zip in liner. $40 shipped

With temps looking cooler and with a three day weekend for most people, a few of us are gonna ride. We will be hitting roads less traveled to avoid as much holiday traffic as we can and our good friends with lights and sirens. We will be heading in the general direction of Morganton to start off in order meet up with VF-1R. So if that works better for you, let us know and we find a spot to meet. Pace will be moderate but we have not left anyone yet. (although Travis has left us to cool down in a stream or two) Come on out if you can.



When: Sunday September 5th
Meeting Spot: Mooresville
Time 7:30am (Depart at 8:00)
Place: Duckworth's Food Market
558 River Highway
Mooresville,NC

This is the corner of Hwy 150 and Bluefield Rd.]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:37:59 +0000 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62513-charlotte-area-riders/ http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62512-out-of-ideas-maybe-rr-problem/
I wired a multi meter up to my battery so I could see when it stopped charging the battery. Everything was going well 12.5 volt range and then 13.2 when getting on the gas. After 15 minutes of driving the voltage started to drop from 12.5 to 12.1 then 11.9 then back to 12.0. I quickly got the bike home but now I'm just trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm wondering if the r/r is getting too hot and stops working. Any help would be great, I'm scratching my head.

ps. battery is 3 months old

Thanks.]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 23:16:14 +0000 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62512-out-of-ideas-maybe-rr-problem/ http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62511-e-bay-vfr-rectifiers-for-15-17/
Pretty Red's electrical system died last weekend while on a ride in the foothills. I'll run tests this weekend, but smart money is ont he rectifier, again.

I"m thinking, how bad can these HK co. units be? My sense is to be cautious, but my practical side is to buy three of them, install one, keep one on the bike as a spare and one in the garage. Anybody have any experience with these? This link is to the company's website. You can also see these items on ebay.

Akrapovic high mount exhaust for VFR1200.
Titanium w/ black cap.
Only has a few hundred miles on it, so it's still like new. No dings or scratches.
You might just have to get a new graphite gasket.

Fix #1 was adding gel insoles to her riding boots. It has helped a lot and is fine for short rides, but it's not cutting it for all-day touring. Fix #2 would be to swap out the all-metal passenger pegs with some nice, cushy, domesticated rubber-topped ones, like we lucky VFR pilots get to use. Although I've found plenty of ultra-lightweight billet aluminum bits for the more track-oriented, I haven't been able to find aftermarket pegs with rubber tops.

I was at the dealer the other day, ogling over the new VFR1200 and noticed its passenger pegs have nice rubber on top, and the mounting system looks like it might be the same. Then the ST1300 came to mind, but the dealer didn't have any to compare. Do any of you know if any other Honda rubber passenger pegs can bolt onto the VFR?

In the meantime we're heading to NC tomorrow and have zip-tied some extra scraps of TechSpec snakeskin rubber onto the pegs... Gotta be better than nothing, right?
