How do you define "longer trips?" I thought about doing the same thing as you're trying, but most of my riding was 150 mile one day rides. I couldn't justify keeping it on. I installed the VFRD Header and I was going for less weight and looks. I think the center stand looks ugly dangling off a sport bike. 😉

These bikes don't need a center stand, just get some PIT Bull stands when doing maintenance. I removed my center stand on my 8G and sold it. Unless you're doing tons of touring, there is no need for a center stand. IMHO

I like the carbon 😉

WOW! Lucky you were able to snag one of the WyLD headers. Must be the last one available! I love mine on my 8G! Are you going to get it ceramic coated?

Interesting, I moved away from Progressive this year and to state farm because it was much cheaper. 57 years old, no tickets. (2015 VFR800FD)

I had a muffler shop do mine and he split it, I found a good welder and he fixed it up perfect!

What was Lance's last name?

Just WOW! This is SAD news!

Touring bikes need a center stand. 😉

This bike does NOT need a center stand.

Yes, there was one created for the 8G. The DynoJet Power Commander PCV. You should still be able to get the tune for a small upcharge.

I do have the map from Attack.. FYI...

I just posted in both VFR 800 Owners and VFRWORLD FB groups a little advertisement mentioning that we need just a few more orders to move forward with the custom group buy. Sorry guys, I may have to bow out of this buy. I was going to buy an extra, just in case, but I plan on having my 8G for 27 years, just like I had my 3G that I bought new. 😉 Besides, I'm trying to build a house and my 18 year old truck may not be worth fixing anymore?. UGH! Putting a grand on the shelf probably wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. 😉
