Find a miniatures enthusiast, you know the ones that paint faces and eyelashes on their Civil War or Railroad figurines, and have them paint over the graphics in orange. Seriously is the ONLY thing I can think of for this particular scenario.

Are your triangle plates in the correct orientation, or at least the same on both bikes? This will alter rear ride height.

Trying to erase the black paint from stock rear wheel, by eraiser that you spray on as wash away In picture fluid is doing the magic After power washer done it's job, needs a second round and better clothing to not get wet.... Happen I scored a reasonable price passenger seat cover cowl, not perfect but will do Should get it in a few weeks

I didnt really do anything, except to tell you to put down the hose clamp and back away slowly.. Like I said before, a unique and cool mod. Good idea and execution.

If I were betting, I'd blame the dealership for doing something stupid before I'd blame Honda.

I would take another hit with that lighter, chill out with a finger of bourbon and look at my killer bike with it's new custom Volt Meter.

Nice bike …..the shopping rack spoils it IMHO

The WSBK app is completely useless, filled with bugs, and crashes constantly. Even if it worked, there isn't much on it. It has been like that for many years. I don't understand why they don't fix it. I've written to them tons of times. The GP app is better, but still nearly useless compared to the website (which is also gone to crap the last few years with giant pictures creating endless scrolling, but sharing very little actual info without a LOT of clicking around...something that used to be taboo in design). I'm not sure if either is on Start TV apps. My new Roku Ultra came today. I'll poke around once I have the courage to set aside a week for "quick setup!" Let us know if you find anything! A few hints: To nav WSBK easily, you may want to choose the "news" link. You'll still get a site designed by kids w/1/30th of the data you want without scrolling...but you'll get news. If you select videos, they've "helped" again and separated them by their topic choices (not user/your filtering choices). Good luck. I hate it. You can see highlights "easily." My favorite is to select Calendar, then Round, then Schedule. From there a normal human can look at any given day, then any given event (race/practice/etc.) for any group and view results (text, thank the Gods), or watch the races directly from links on that page. If you set your initial link to calendar instead of the home site, you won't see results, which they love to post so that the race-watching is immediately ruined for everyone who was looking at that screen. I start on calendar for MotoGP also, but the interface was designed by preteen teletubbies. If you want to see more than one or part of one thing...you're going to have carpal tunnel from scrolling and clicking 72 layers in. As I'm fond of saying...Humans, the worst.

Follow up...I had a buddy come and take a look with me to ensure I wasn't out of my mind. It gets stranger... I checked p/ns of additional parts to find out that they are/should be identical. They include frame, subframe, swingarm, centerstand (you'll see why soon). The rear is visually much higher on VFR00 than on VFR98. Shock length and forks are setup the same on both bikes. Forks show as set up the same in the triple. Taking initial sag measurement confirms this. Shock length is verified (again) as identical in the bikes. Shocks are both 330mm. VFR98 went in smoothly with plenty of room. You may remember VFR00 shock was a absolute b%&th to get in. So much so that it broke and had to be repaired. Something isn't right. And with all of the extra room...shouldn't it have been easier to get in? For peace of mind, I measured a few things related to geometry and some others for confirmation of the visual. Bottom of axle to horizontal at helmet lock is 377mm on VFR00 and 366 on VFR98. 11 mm delta. Bottom of axle to floor on centerstand is 305mm on VFR00 and 295 on VFR98. 11 mm delta. No weight sag taken in same place is 377mm on VFR00 and 366 on VFR98. 11 mm delta. 11mm is killing me and I don't know why there's a variance. Anyone? With the rear in the air, shouldn't they be identical with the same length shock in there? Riding these two bikes back to back is night and day. The '98 is brilliant and the '00...sucks a lot.
