You, sir, are one brave soul. Do you have a name for your bike? May I suggest a little "german sounding" moniker...like "Hindenburg"?:goofy:

Best of luck with that!

Cheers!

I didn't notice any change in performance, but what I do like is that I won't have to change them (iridiums) again for a long time. What PIA that job is.

Amen. I thought it was bad on the 90...98 was PIA+:fing02:

bike wasn't running before, put in Iridium plugs (only about a buck more per plug): VOILA! running. The old plugs *were* fouled...P.O. was running roughly 3 qts too much oil. Doesn't seem like it blew the rings...fingers crossed.

See webBikeWorld review here:

Can be purchased here:

At $4.99 + S&H it's almost the perfect deep recession farkle!

Those aren't the same! They look OK. But the originals can be had on ebay!

If it is third or fourth gen: first go to Tightwad's "wiremybike.com" and click on the pic of your year model. Select the appropriate VFRness. Pay. Wait a couple days for it to come in. Install immediately.

*Then* ride it and see what you do/don't like. You can make sure you have a good charging system first (the 3rd and 4th gens are relatively notorious for weak electrical). But for 50 bucks it is a no brainer.

5th gens there seems to be "jury still out" on the charging system. I put the VFRness on my latest, and a new rectifier/regulator (r/r) to be sure. I did not put a meter on it first...the headlights would go bright as the revs increased then dim around 4-5k rpm. They don't do that after VFRness (VFR harness).

6th gen: look around on this site! I really don't know much about them, save what I read. I like gear drive cams...

Cheers! and welcome aboard!

The packaging looks like it was insprired by some kind of feminine hygiene product.

LMAO!

Pazzo changed my appreciation of the bike. loved the VFR from the beginning but now ride in all weathers. The improvement in comfort and having the adjustability was heaven for me (short fingers). Never thought about skins and my concern would be gradual rotation or slow twisting. But would be interested in seeing a pic and a review in 3, 6 and 9 months time to see how they performed. Good luck.

The review for the 3rd gen was great. I rode about 60k miles with them (the bike got stolen after the last r/r frying - sure wish the VFRness was around 10 years ago!). I really liked them. i will put up some pics tomorrow after install. They dont twist or rotate at all after they dry. You have to break the lever to get them off ( I Know - the bike was recovered and had been beaten silly, one lever broken off - when it is running again, it will get new 'skins!)

Hey ya'll! I know lots of folks on this site favor the Pazzo levers and such. Being in school for a couple more years, as I was for lots of miles on my 3rd gen, I always went for the least expensive solution. Stock levers aren't bad. I do like some grip though.

I had lever skins on the 3rd gen, and found them online for the 5th. Can't wait to put them on. They are just rubber shrink wrap for the levers, but they have some grooves on there, too.

I will put up pics when done, but they are not very special looking. these are blue. But, I really like them. Just always liked how they felt with gloves and such.

Was wonderin if anybody else shared my sentiment.

Cheers.

P.S. Where did you get the relay? how much? I think I have seen a thread with info on sourcing the LEDs already, but the only place I know for the relay is Thurn...

Looks like nice work! Thanks for the pics!
