2014 8th Gen, my third VFR...

VFR 78, Thanks for the response! That looks like what I would like to have. Can you tell me the Model / Part number and the Specific Fitment of that set up? I find nothing for the VFR800F at SW- Motec. But in this thread others have said units for the VFR1200X and 7th gen that fit our model. Please Advise...

I have a new to me 2014 VFR. I am looking for a Rack / Tail rack for it. I had a Ventura system rack for my 6th Gen(s) and liked it very much. I remember a member on here that made rack that mounted similarly but don't know of anything for the 8th Gen. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I just acquired this 2014 8th Gen. So Far, So Amazing. All the 6th Gen Goodness in a slightly tidier, more modern package. I couldn't be happier. I'm posting today to jump back in the pool and ask: Does anyone have an electronic version of the Shop Manual for the 2014 800F model to share? Thats it for now and let the customizations(tasteful) begin...

Apparently there are hitches designed for the VFR (https://www.classicind.com.au/Shop/). They appear to attach to the sub frame and have "descending" arms/rods on which the hitch is mounted. I think the primary issue with lane splitting would be auto drivers not seeing the low trailer, changing lanes and colliding with it. Some combination of antenna/flag array could make it more conspicuous. But it does seem dicey. The one wheel trailer would be the way to go.

Africord, Super helpful, Thank!

Hello All, I am curious about something that I don't ever remember being addressed on here. A pull behind trailer for the 6th Gen. I know it may seem absurd, but, I have started doing a new line of work,. I have a Kit / Package of gear that I need to transport to my jobs. I have used the VFR as my commutation / predicability machine here in Greater Los Angeles for the last 10 years or so and am really missing the time saving / lane splitting ability while using my SUV. I don't need much payload but more than I can rack and luggage. I have a large-ish Pelican case and some Misc. light but too big for onboard items. It totals Maybe 100 pounds, Max. I am looking for Advice, Ideas, Experiences related to a pull behind the bike trailer. How to hitch, etc... Thanks in advance everyone. PACIFICMAN

I must say that while I do have a 25th Anv. version. I probably would not have ordered this paint scheme, having said that, it has grown on me. And the track pictures do look marvelous...

Hello all, I have a newish Michelin 2CT on the front of my '07 ABS. The rear is shot out, but the front is still fully treaded and in fine shape. Obviously I don't sport and canyon as much as I once did. The tires came on the bike and were freshly installed just prior to my purchase. I really liked these tires, how ever I am mostly commuting on freeways n ow and the rear is "new" on the edges and Flat in the center. I know others have combined tire models for better wear, handling, weather, etc. on the VFR. Question: Given my riding is commute oriented and I am in SoCal(so weather is rarely a factor, but I do like to have some sport capability / traction in hand) What would be a be a good mate for my front 2CT? I like Michelin and have never heard that mixing brands is a good idea, but I am open to all suggestions and opinions, typically never in short supply on here... Thanks In Advance!

Hello All, I wanted to say Thank You to Jay-D! I used this guide and was able to Easily flush and bleed the entire braking system on my '07 ABS. I printed this article and used it as my guide in conjunction with the Honda Manual. My 14 year old Daughter was my helper, working carefully we did the job in roughly an hour. I DID change all the valves to Speed Bleeders(from Wire My Bike) before hand. Super clean and simple in both phases.

Hello all. I'm going to make an adapter for my Motive Products pressure bleeder, to fit my 6th Gen. Does anyone have a complete Master cylinder cap(lid, plastic plate and diaphragm) brake or clutch? I'm hoping to find a spare someone is willing to part with. The bleeder company does not make a modern Honda adapter as of now. Thanks! ADDITION: As I'm casting the net, I'd be interested in a rear MC cap as well.

Thanks All, I have been using a Large Channel lock, but I get the idea of anchoring the caliper. I'm going to get after it today, probably time to replace my C clamp collection as well. Thanks Again!
