DJCheez1 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hello, all. I have been lurking for a while but now I am an official member. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for all of the helpful advice and ideas. I have done a few mods since purchasing my new-to-me 2007 VFR back in February. I am a newbie rider. I took the MSF class sponsored by HD back in December. After sitting on dozens of bikes and reading reviews, I decided the VFR would be best for my skill level. The low insurance and fairly high gas mileage were big determining factors for me. I am averaging between 41-41 mpg. I made a great choice!!!! Since then I have made a few cosmetic changes such as adding the black/grey vinyl on the sides. I added some accent liights and black reflective tape for safety reasons. I also did the RAM mount using the tank bolts and the Powerlet mod so I can use my smartphone for GPS. I changed my levers (Pazzo) and grips (Kuryakyn). The grips were a huge plus (although I didn't like the price) because my wrist was becoming pretty tender (Carpal Tunnel). I recently just completed my first "performance" mods by doing the O2 Sensor disconnect and added the Delkevic mini carbons. The O2 mod gets two thumbs up for me. I also love the sound of the new cans. I feel as though I have a totally new bike since I purchased it. By the way, the bike had Helibars when I bought it and no rear seat cowl. I believe the windscreen is a ZG but was cracked in a couple of places from the PO. The guy that did the vinyl for me covered those cracks with a strip of carbon fiber and black/grey vinyl strips covered quite a few scratches on the fairing.

Guest Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I love shopping at WoW! Every time I walk through I look at the bikes and just think "WOW! I can't believe that bike was crashed so badly." They sell more crashed motorcycles than any other dealership. They boast over 750 bikes in stock... All have been down. I will say that when they say their prices are firm, if you are a buyer, they will deal. When I walked in with cash, they made my deal happen for much below their list price.

DJCheez1 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 My bike had definitely been down a time or two (Scratched up on both sides) and plus I did a little bartering. I figured for a first bike, WTH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
