9C1 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If I did this right, here's a pic of me on my bike last week. It was 95 degrees but still had a blast. Just thought I'd share a VFR in the fastest color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted June 19, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted June 19, 2018 I don't know about that fastest color thing, but, having had a couple of the yellow ones, they do make you younger and more hansom. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer KevCarver Posted July 24, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted July 24, 2018 White wheels on yellow, don't see that often! Are those SebSpeed's rearset adapters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are those SebSpeed's rearset adapters? They are! They went on easy enough. Some work was needed to make the rear sets work with linked brakes. That reminds me, I need to get in touch with him to let him know what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should post what you did in the rear set adapter thread. I ended up using a piece of stainless steel block, drilled it through the center and then tapped the ends with a 10mm tap. Then put this in place where the original MC sat and tied a short line from there to the new MC position. Pic is posted in the thread. I’m interested in seeing what you did.

I particularly like the large VFR decal with red; looks different than mine. Mine was dubbed "Tweety" by a riding buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9C1 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Love the yellow bikes, gents. And VFR Newbie, are there any downsides to the rearsets as far as comfort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted August 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2018 I actually don't have any pics with the side fairings on it... Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer KevCarver Posted August 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 5, 2018 Is that the pull starter for when the R/R dies and kills the battery? 😁😎 (Actually CornerCarver's joke about his SC 6th Gen that I built) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao, Kool! I'll bet that machine really wails. Nice "quiet can" also. Do you ride with the fairings off? It would seem a shame to cover up that extra hardware.

MsRN98 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I need to clean up my ‘00; still, after 21K miles in the last 21 months, I think I can fairly say that it IS the fastest color... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure if a tank bag would be super handy or just in the way. I got the rim tape from ‘customTaylor33’ LLC on Amazon; it’s lasted pretty well so far, and is very bright when headlights hit it. The tank bag is a Cortech (21L, I think) and has been very solid; I like it much more than the two CycleGear house-branded bags I had, both of which fell apart in under a year. This one is very-well thought out, and a convenient way to keep the most important things close at hand.

It's the Givi windscreen. I haven't experienced any so far. To be honest, I haven't ridden the bike a whole lot with it on. I need to change that.

The side fairings were never re-installed, as I was still troubleshooting the PCV (which doesn't work...), so I was riding it without. Might get to ride it again in a few weeks.
