Yes, you have to drill out the the holes. it isn't much, mostly just the existing threads, but you aren't going to reverse it without a tap&die and custom bolts of some kind. I have no intention of going back to factory, I only use the front portion of the Sargent seat so that the cowl creates a nice little storage space for rain layers / spare visor / etc.

they are the Sargent quick release pins. not exactly a great deal price wise, but they look and work just fine.

Rode off-road from Hwy 108 ( Near Pinecrest) to Highway 4 (Arnold) on Hell's Half Acre Road, it was 63 miles, but took around 3 hours with a few wrong turns on the spaghetti fire road system. Then we decided to ride over Ebbets Pass (8,736') on highway 4. Then we took a right on highway 89 and over Monitor Pass (8,314'). After gassing up in Walker, we took 395 south and then headed back over Sonora Pass (9,623') back to our campsite. Over 200 miles of twists and turns.

Does it contain an addendum on the O-ring of the solid rocket booster?

I love this photo, slo1. The red VFR stands out and the curves leading to the mountains make you want to jump on and GO!

Yes, they are powder coated a very HRC brownish gold.

NICE! I love the gold wheels almost more than I love the white wheels that I sometimes see people put on these! Did you powder coat them?

Thanks for getting a red Multistrada featured on VFRD! Beautiful shop.

Pig? All VFRs are equal, but some VFRs are more equal than others!! Red NACA's are the best!!!

What a nice example of a 4th Gen. I never get tired of looking at the lines on these bikes.

I spent the time with 5 friends, we had a really good time. I needed a relaxing vacation, I rode 5 demo rides most were so so the Aprillia Tuono, that ride was insane..factory sponsored demo ride was absolutely insane. We were really flogging those bikes. Possibly replacing the veefalo. I'm debating on the mt-10 sp, or the ktm 1200gt. Both have semi active suspension. I like the Yamaha reliability and easy parts. But I really like the ktm. The Tuono is not comfortable to ride for me..fun though. I need more relaxed ergos now.

The furthest inland I've been in Oz is Broken Hill. Up and back in one day on my 1st Gen VFR.

That is Sailing Yacht A in the background - owned by a russian oligarch and seized by the Italian authorities in March of 2022.

As always slo1. You obviously have a very good eye for composition, lighting etc. Very nice shot mate.

Track day! Sunrise at Sonoma.

Nice bike and jacket!

Nice shot. Was out that way in 1978 on my new CX500. Stayed at the Lake Louise Hotel on the last day they were open in Sept. Woke up to 6" of snow the next day and had to wait for a snowplow to follow him down into a valley.

I met up with Kel a few years back in Portland Maine. His bike is even more stunning in person than the pictures show. The attention to detail and the artistry really doesn't reveal until you see it in person. I was on my Vf1000R, which instantly looked like the worlds worst beater, parked up next to his.

Still awesome 👍

Fall colours and a red VFR, with left exit exhaust no less, makes for a great photo.

Suck less: Great words to live by.

Last time I was on this road it was ~4:00 in the morning. There were about a bazillion stars in the sky but I was too cold to stop and enjoy 'em. I'd spent a chilly night on the side of the road a few miles east after finding there was nary a room to be had in Blanding. Fortunately, dawn had come as I neared Hanksville - time for coffee.

Love seeing the two 5th gens, of course, but pretty cool to see a photo of that Buell! Very rare bike now.

Very Cool!

Washington Hwy 20.... great ride on a blue bird day!

That is a fantastic looking bike Captain, well done. It brings back very fond memories.

Solid as a rock!

Why am I not surprised?

She's a red hot classic, nice shot.

I was wondering the same thing? My GUESS is a mark or fly ect on the lens? Great photo.

Salcey Forest cafe for lunch.

Railing!

So shiny it looks wet. A really "the fastest color".

Love the shallow depth of focus. The cross-eyed exhaust pipes are pretty charming ;-)
