Guest TorontoVFR02 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hey everyone...first post on the board....bought a 2002 VFR (non ABS) last fall and want to make some modifications. If any of you could give me your input it would be greatly appreciated. Looking for: 1) Slip-on exhaust where I don't have to add a power commander for a deeper sound that stock 2) Tire selection where most riding is country roads and some highways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer adamf18 Posted February 11, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have Staintunes for an exhaust. Great sound! Tires depend on your type of riding. Touring, try Michelin pilot roads, for semi aggressive riding, there are lots of performance type of tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrrider17 Posted February 11, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2008 Welcome to VFRD, the best and most addicting website ever :goofy: Well for an exhaust +35 for the staintunes, greatest exhaust on the market but pricey (~$1000). Tires, can't go wrong with Pirelli, Corsa 3's are phenomenal or regular diablos are great as well (and last longer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer poconovfr Posted February 11, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 11, 2008 Just added Two Brothers M2 V.A.L.E. Sounds nice, fits nice. Tires, purchase for the purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Avon Storm St's for tires. As far as exhaust i like the sound of the Devils the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer SGVridgerunner Posted February 12, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well, since the VFR needs a PCIII in stock trim anyway, I'd say you should still budget for it with the exhaust, as any system will heighten your awareness of the VFR's FI flaws. With that being said I'll add to the confusion and say that I prefer the sound/look/performance of a Yoshimura R1 undertail exhaust with a custom midpipe (shameless plug). As far as tires go, unless you're going to be "racing" said country roads, I'd go with the Pilot Road 2's. I have Pilot Powers on my VFR and it corners great, but I have Road 2's on my Hayabusa, and that freight train can corner now! Not as well as the VFR, but I can run 7/10ths on a public mountain road with no worries of washing out, even with that power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hey guys...thanks for all of your input....any of you heard how the Two Brothers Exhaust with the "Stash" feature is. This is the one with one sinlge canister that works and the second one is a fake for storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds good, but I'm against the quasi-dual exhausts (including the 2-bros.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Good to see another VFR here in Ontario. As for the exhaust, I'll "pipe" in with my vote for the Leo Vince, which can be purchased from a supplier on the west coast for a fairly good price. You should budget for the PCIII as well, as it fixes some of the stumble issues that are inherent with the fuel mapping on this bike. I think the Leo's look best (most cans other than these and the Remus look too long from the side) and are under the $1k mark. Throw in a BMC air filter, the required O2 plugs, and Kanadian Ken's fender eliminator and you will have a superb looking machine. All of this should run you less than $1500. Hope to see you on the road this summer, though you'll have to come north of the city for any decent roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
