YAY! Oh I miss my old 4th gen (NACA DUCTS 4 LYFE!)

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!

I have a "SUCK LESS" shirt 😁 Niiiice viffer.

What a lovely scene. It reminds me of places I've ridden in Oregon and NorCal, but I suspect it might be someplace a thousand miles away.

A typical slo1 shot, always excellent, well captured, great lighting, great composition etc......And of course a superb bike.

Well...that's a cure for the VTEC dip........nice!

Slick styling!

I always wanted a turbo, but that is anFJ1200. I owned three of them. Lovely bikes! My first VFR ('99) replaced the last FJ I owned, a '93.

Zero drag I actually have some wheels and brakes changes in the works for this bike. Not huge performance gains, but some bling for sure. Should finish the look of this bike nicely.

Colours look good, brakes not so much 😂

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.

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

I love your photo, nice alignment of the VFR, road, and setting sun. At least I hope it's a setting sun 'cause I hate gettin' up early.

Sorry I missed your comment at the time, MaxSwell. But to answer your Q, the pic was taken about 6pm back in late July 1995. As I recall traffic in the Glacier NP was light that day, and I waited for the cars to clear before snapping.

Sorry, can’t figure out how to like the image, but it’s lovely and really caught my eye when I pitched up today.

Terrific shot, slo1, a magical time of day showcasing a lovely 5th gen

Shows what happens when there is no security at the gate...

That my friends, is a 4th Gen on the hunt.

Track day! Sunrise at Sonoma.

Love this shot.

Lookin' good there slowbird!

Nice bike and jacket!

This was Rt. 175, looking southeast, near Clear Lake CA. The mountain is Mt. Konocti, a volcano by the lake. 175 was a great road but cold, and lots of gravel that day. No TC on the 2010 7th gen!

Yup! It was an article I read in Bike magazine over a decade ago that gave me the desire to do it. Christchurch Honda rent out the bikes. It HAS to be on every VFR owners Bucket List!

Oh my, what a lovely scene - the bike ain't half bad either. With luck, and an end to the pandemic restrictions I hope to return to Cali next summer

I have never liked the look of the 1200. I think it’s lack of sales success could be partly attributed to its look. That RWB completely solves the issue for me. It’s a beauty.

Spot on Max!

"Only The Lonely" seems to apply here,

"Cool wind in my hair..." One of my favs!

Installed a set of Ventura rails and the topbox off my gen 3 as this is fast becoming the daily rider. Recovered the seat, replace the mirrors with OEM ones, fitted a quadlock bracket in the triple clamp, a RAM ball on the clutch master cylinder bracket, and put OEM adjustable brake and clutch leavers back on. Still need to put on a USB charger with a volt meter. Lastly, replaced the black double bubble screen with a standard light tint one from "screens for bikes" in Melbourne Australia. Great screen. But I just realised that the problem for me with the last screen was not the shape but that fact that it was solid black. My bad..

Really evocative shot, Convoy. One small change that'd make it even better, imho, is if your bike was just a little further away from the structures to its right side.

Nice shot!

Still awesome 👍

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