D1CKY Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Upon buying a 2004 VFR I have noticed that some of the other VFRs for sale on eBay and the likes do not have any adjustment screws on the top of the forks. Many have black blanking caps and no adjustment seem possible. Why is this ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted September 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2017 If you look a bit closer, the other difference in the pics is that those with no adjustment have raised handlebars. The cap that goes with them covers the adjusters. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genmar-handle-bar-riser-Honda-VFR-800-not-Vtec-/261914448734 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or previous owner modification ?Adjusters hidden under caps ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted September 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's an option on the latest model. This model you have the aftermarket option, put on by previous owners.adjusters under caps. Great idea. Welcome fellow Scot all be it from the wrong side of the country.

Member Contributer Terry Posted September 13, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 13, 2017 All 6G VFR's have preload adjusters only on the forks. If you want to add damping adjustments that is also possible with some mix and match parts from say a CBR600F4, or cartridge inserts from the likes of Daugherty Motorsports.
