I've used the optional $45 adapter with both my VFR and Ducati hubs. On the previous link, there's a video on how the adapter fits a KTM SSSA wheel. Tire removal/installation would then be the same as this tutorial.

Got a Rabaconda during last Black Friday sale along with a Harbor Freight wheel balancer. What used to take hours and multiple round trips to shop, now takes minutes in my garage. Easy to store, set up and use.

Color Rite sells a 3 part kit that I tried using to no success. It was tough to match. You may have better luck

This bike is Color Code R157E and was a factory Europe only model to celebrate Honda's 50 anniversary. Only paint and decals were different. I saw a few on the road in London and one for sale new at a Berlin Honda dealer in '99-'00. This paint scheme is a tribute to early Honda race bikes. Look closely and you'll see silver pinstriping on the tank and rear cowl. Not aware of any performance mods from the factory. Honda Britain also developed a 50th Anniversary UK specific line that included: VTR1000 Firestorm aka SuperHawk, CBR1200xx Super Blackbird, CB900rr Fireblade CBR600f, and VFR800. This special edition VFR was sold with: Remus exhaust, Harris rear sets and frame sliders. I don't remember of any other mods. Re: pic of bike in question. have no idea. The paint looks orange,

Behind the front sprocket cover (#1 below on a "99, but judging from your picture, similar on yours) you may find a large build up of the black sludge I see in the your picture. The heat from your engine will just keep melting the sludge which will require constant cleaning. Cleaning the area behind the sprocket cover will keep the area cleaner longer than if you just clean the visible area. The cause? what ever you use to lube your chain. I just cleaned mine a few days ago, big mess with lots of gravel.

1) had this issue with my 5th Gen when I got it in late '18. It had only 18K miles and two of the plungers were sticking. 2) had similar issue last year with my Carbtune Pro 4 where the tubes needed cleaning. and as mentioned by Grum above, read this

Try an insurance broker. For decades I was with State Farm but with our last house purchase, the real estate agent suggested going with a broker. The broker provided home/auto insurance quotes far lower than any of the big name insurance companies with the new company having a similar AM Best rating as State Farm. Though for my motorbikes, Progressive had the best deal. Good luck!

In 2017 Yamaha EU and Abarth built this: https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/yamaha-xsr900-abarth/ In JP, Yamaha sells a Seca Kit for ≈ $1,500. Same rear cowl as the "GP" bike.

Like the no boxy controller and the thumb switch. Thanks for the suggestion. I can see these on my 2nd VFR. You have any pictures especially of the throttle side?

Both Evo Touring (5th Gen) and non Evo Adventure (Super Tenere) are hard. The Evo Touring is 120mm which fits well on the 5th Gen.

So many Oxford options is so true. I had the same set you're looking at for my Super Tenere and they were fine. I don't think there's any "performance" difference between the Evo's that I'm using on my 5th Gen (paid $120 back then) vs the non Evo $65 version you're looking at. The big reason I bought the Evos over the non Evo model, I like the controller better. The non Evo model has bright colors that I don't like while the Evo is plain I bought the touring model, at 120mm they fit perfectly. Wiring can be a pain if you want a clean install. I had to take off the upper cowl, get it all to fit around the upper cowl stay, remove the left side cowl, lift the tank, and remove the seat cowl and the seat. On the throttle side, took some calculating to make sure the throttle was not impeded anywhere along the bars travel and also making sure the cable did not push against the bars. I cut and soldered the excess lines. Yes it took me far more time than I'm willing to admit, but I'd do it again. They are really hot. I use these gloves year round and during the winter, even in the upper 30's, the first setting is enough and after a bit I turn them off cause they're too hot. Heated grips are the shizzle.

Oxford Evo Touring, they get hot even at the first level, I like the way they look.
