Quick update on throttle body intake rubbers: looks like all 800 generations are the same. VFR Crossrunner 800 on the left and old hardened 5th gen on the right. Even the locating tabs for clamps and engine intake are a match. Same internal and external dimensions too. I’d assume 6th gen would be the same? The clamps are different though - new ones are better as they have hex head drive alongside the JIS Phillips. Rubber intakes are also a decent match for the engine ports. Considering they are rubber items, there’s very little protrusion so flow looks smooth. Finally, for anyone wondering if a front rad fits the 5th gen fairings, it does. I threw the fairings on quickly to show there’s ample room. But the vents are in the wrong place so you’d have to figure that out to keep your engine cool. Looks nice with the MC21 tail. The RC24 front bit in blue isn’t necessary but you’d have to massage the front part of the MC21 seat fairing to blend with the tank. You COULD fit this on your stock subframe but you’ll have to cut the corners off the back and the fairing will leave the bottom rail exposed just above the footpegs and a bit under th seat hump. Cutting and rebelling would make a neater job. Stock solo seat (cut off the pillion part) fits fine. You’ll also have to fabricate brackets for the rear light and exhaust hanger, and an undertray (original will hang below the fairing near the tank). Just in case anyone was planning to do theirs.

If you do some searching, there is a means to revamp those rubbers make them soft as new. I used engine oil on the inside of mine the first time I had the TB's off, every time since they have been easy to do & flexible 👍

Keep checking eBay for overpriced, cracked, scraped fairing pieces. You might be able to cobble something together. Airtech stills makes fiberglass replacements. They are not cheap or easy to install on a bike with street equipment. Airtech Streamlining - 86 / 87 body parts

If you're eating stators, then first question is what R/R are you using and are you still connected via the OEM harness...... if so, you need to upgrade and bypass directly to the battery.

I'm not sure about reliability - my 6th gen seems to eat stators like potato chips at a Super Bowl party. The 6th gen's is larger diameter, 4.52" vs 4.26" on the 5th gen, about 6.1% larger. IDK how much more power that translates in to. The yellow output wires for both measure 2.2mm outer diameter around the yellow insulation, so the same. Custom Rewind, below, put 2.9mm OD wire on my 6th gens, so a big improvement. If anyone is wondering, Custom Rewind is still in business. I talked to them about a week ago. They did my 6th gen's 1st rewind and it was great. Cost now is $135 shipped back to you. Phone is 205-798-7282. 2014 Pratt Hwy, Birmingham, AL. 35214 If you leave a message they will eventually call you back. They will give you a custom length wire and whatever connector you specify. Probably should call them 1st before asking for the latter.
