Another thumbs up for Mello Dude's block-off plates. I fitted them to my 08 6th Gen about 2 years ago and the bike was definitely smoother without the PAIR system.

Great tutorial on how to remove the Foo Foo Ra... beautiful cut plates too... 

The VFR is not alone with complying with the Feds Foo Foo Ra... just look at

what Honda had to install on the RC45...

On mine the back end of that screw to hold the reeds in place wouldn't let the cover plate tighten down all the way. I had to pull the reeds to get the blockoff plate tightened down.

 

Gottta give Moose a kudos for catching this - the reed screw hitting the plate if you dont take out the reed assembly.. :fing02:

Mine were that way too, and I filed the top of the screws down a bit below flush so they wouldn't

interfere with the fit of the plates. But I also stoned the top of the engine to make sure the

mating surface was completely flat for the plates to fit.

Is this the spot to order the kit...still? Now I have to look up evap canister and did the flapper mod. You guys are not good for my list!

I bought a set of these, couldn't be any easier. I just put them on and gave them a little tap to mark where the reed screw head was and spot drilled a small counterbore for them to sit in. Top job MD 👌

I'd be in.  Turns out the rubber caps I zip tied on way back when will dry rot and crack after a while.  Might as well get something nicer right?

If only you'd had those a few months ago.... 

 

Makes a big difference to the low end smoothness of the throttle and is easy to do.
