I went for a ride the day after Christmas and found Out they have branded hiway A1A between Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach. The string of islands are now the "North Florida Keys". Views are no comparison to South Florida counterparts.

Thus begins my dive into foolish horsepower gains chasing with my 2014 VFR. Currently I have a 8th gen with: Slip on (s) various lengths, ect. RapidBike Racing with MyTuningBike and BlueBike mods along with the return to stock chip for dyno day. 520 converted drivetrain with a -1T front sprocket and lightened/crossdrilled rear sprocket. Some fiddle faddle from my olde 6th gen: Pair removal plates, Modified airbox with shorter, wider R6 stacks epoxied in. Just took delivery and bored-ly hand polished the new 5th/6th/8th header from the boys/wade on the forums. I very nearly have all the terminal hardware to do the big swap and go to the full header/airbox/autotune/timing boosted machine that CandyRed uses to great envy on my part. Considering there's a pump literally 100yards from base/home that has E85 I'm going to try to make a go for broke tune with more duty cycle and a bunch more timing to see if it makes a big difference. So it should definately rock & roll. Lemme know if you know of some places in socal that offer (cheap) dyno pulls with little to no diagnostic needs considering the RBR handles pretty much everything anyway.

Looks like the road engineer with the theodolite had a tad too much Crystal Meth... 🙂 Great photo

I did make a custom tray and battery box out of aluminum, basically replicated the OEM tray, and added some insulating mat to the top of the tray. The headers are TBros ss headers.

A Suzuki? Lets heat up the tar and pluck some feathers..... 😎

Nothing, I did nothing, I have a sheet of ice in the alley behind my garage door. I cant even get the bike out of the garage.

Rode is after several weeks of just sitting. It ran good but it was a little cold so it was a quick ride. Machinery isn't meant to sit idle. Letting that happen bugs me. Put some fresh gas in it. Non-ethanol gas. If you haven't tried it, get some 87 octane E0 and see how much different it runs.
