VFR Pannier Stays (6th Gen) - Dimensional Question


Revellz77

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

This is my first post. I bought this 2008 VFR800 from a retired police officer, it was his personal bike. He kept it nice and stock in almost every respect.

 

The one challenge I am having is with the pannier stays: The stays were retrofitted, poorly, to go around aftermarket Micron exhaust cans. You can see in the pictures the stay is 1" off the plastic fairing on the left stay, and 1/16" on the right. It looks terrible.

 

I want to cut the stays, grind, and reweld them.  Can any one share the correct stock dimensional distance between the stay and the plastic fairing?

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi 🖖,
Welcome to this forum. I also have the same bike like yours. Congratulations on getting a mint condition bike. And you are right those mods look ugly. Unfortunately I don't have those side cases, so can't help but hope, someone else in the group will be able to provide you the correct information.
Thanks
