I'm diggin the heated grip controller... :lobby:

Providing it's for real and it's not ugly and it's not break the bank expensive I would for sure buy the non DCT version over the F.

There is some info in this post The thread is a great read too.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Someone went hard on the pipe before filling your order.

Elka is actually pretty good. What they told you is what I have already heard from them and I understand their philosophy. That is why their spring calculator tops out at 1100#. $110 is their flat rate spring cost. Don't forget, smarties at Honda aren't idiots either. They intentionally designed the bike with a lower spring rate partly to meet the sport/TOURING flavor and some because they think all riders are 165lbs. The 1000RR's aren't coming with 45mm sag. Pete don't forget us CDN's have to fight with high shipping costs, exchange and tax at the border. You know I got my 1200 at Ground Control for $69 but even by the time it got to my door the Elka $110 was just a little more for the exact same Eibach spring.

Yes you need to remove exhaust up to the first clamp at the bottom of the bike and all the rear bits, the cat can stay. The black pan under your seat will eventually need to be moved down or taken right off to get the pre-load adjuster out. You will also have to undo a pesky clamp which holds your brake lines in place so they can be moved down slightly to get the adjuster out. You will need to take the knob assy off the pre-load adjuster first though. Don't loose the little spring in there. I took mine apart in a zip lock bag and all the bits landed in there. http://vfrworld.com/forums/mechanics-garage/28381-my-6th-gen-suspension-upgrade.html

I give mine a real good check during my oil changes, so far so good. A good reason I guess to keep a good eye on everything.

Very clean, looks great.

Great pics, thank you. Gotta get to a race at least once in my lifetime.

Why yes I did weigh them (Scale was Certified the same morning in fact). New System = 8.5 Lbs Stock System = 23.8 Lbs (if I'm remembering correctly) Excellent info, thank you. That 15.5lbs lost that high up is a very big deal IMO. Mind you if I took 15 lbs off my belly that would be an even bigger deal :fing02:

A couple things, did you weight them before you stuck them on, curious how much of a weight savings there is. Is there any video that you would say comes close, would like to hear it.

This web site will tell you all you need to know. http://www.gearingcommander.com/ Just select your VFR from the drop down menus.

Thanks for the update, hopefully the gremlins won't return.

Wow man, glad your okay. One second sooner and it would have been you and the front grill

I'm going to get the Nuvi 765T for the car, it has pretty much all the bells and whistles, 10 routes, MP3, Bluetooth, lane assist, junction view, 3d buildings etc etc for around $240.00
