  1. Hi kebrider, Thank you for your donation of $50.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  2. Best Mod Ever! Has kept me on a VFR when 40 years of basketball tried to force my 6'2" frame onto another ride. I now can walk into work on Monday without a limp. KEB
  3. Slow makes smooth so easy. At my pace the suspension is so tight and refined feeling I hate to mess with it. It limits my speed in some conditions but nit terribly. My Tiger 800 has a slightly softer, longer travel suspension that is a million times more refined than the VFR. If the Tiger had more ground clearance it would run off an hide from the VFR on roads like the Dragon but the VFR motor gives it a much higher top speed and i suspect if the Tiger had the same top end hit the bike would start to misbehave. I say the Tiger feels flat on top but when I got home after riding with Adam all day the GPS showed my top speed was 139. Must have been when I tried to draft Adam's Beemer on that downhill section of the Cherohala. Adam can attest to how well the Tiger handles on rough pavement as he had no fun following it on Joyce Kilmer.
  4. With gear I am 240 lbs. I have an 07 with stock suspension all around but I did shim the rear shock with two large washers from Lowes and kept the forks in the stock position in the triple clamps. If I stay smooth at the controls the bike is solid on fair to good pavement. Bumpy or rough surfaces have me slowing down slightly to maintain a safety margin of control. BR, do your suspension upgrades significantly improve your bike's bumpy road performance? KEB
  5. I will trade you my peg lowering blocks for the Blackbird in the picture (because I know where to get new ones). :) I go on record as the single best mod I ever did to my VFR is installing Busy Little Shop's peg lowering blocks. Makes the VFR all day comfy with my hateful knees. I compensated for the lost ground clearance by raising the rear and installing allen head bolts in place of the feelers. I had a 97 BB with a full erion kit. Most impressive motorcycle I have ever owned. I could touch a peg at 170 with zero drama. The bike defines high speed stability and it truly warps your sense of fast. KEB
