ordered...thanks!

Does anyone happen to know the part number (or numbers) of what needs to be replaced if I were to replace my wax unit on my 2000? I looked at the Bike Bandit diagram and it shows a couple different part numbers referring to wax unit. If anyone happens to know what I need to order, I'd appreciate it. I don't want to get into "cleaning" my old wax unit, find out it is toast and not have a new one handy. Thanks.

Someone PMed me a while back about getting a copy of my VFRness pics. I thought I blew them away, but I found them today while I was backing up my system. If this is you, then PM me with your email address and I'll send you the pics as soon as I can.

So it is true then...Yellow VFRs are the fastest! Isn't it a little tough living in London and the US? A 10 hour plane ride just to go hop on the Viffer must be brutal! The bike looks friggin awesome...no doubt about that. But do you have to undo all that SC plumbing to change the oil filter? (geez...I sound like my Dad...)

Great, honest review. Dirt bikes are a blast and it sounds like a great way to learn to ride better. Any experience yet on how much or little carries over to street riding?

Yep...these are leftovers as I figured the VFRD community had been about saturated for this year...haven't sold any yet on eBay. Yes I do! If anyone wants to try this I can make a pair for you without the painting and then you can do whatever you want with the light install. I think Rivcyko painted the back half of his black so when the lights came on they only showed forward and not backward. To the original Poster...nice job.

OK...at the risk of having some serious flamage thrown my way...I was thinking... I'm about to buy back my 2000 VFR from the chap who bought it from me two years ago. I am also planning on a trip up the Dalton in 2012 and the wifey aint too awful pleased about having the VFR back and another bike next year (likely a BMW 1150GS). So my question is, can I combine the two platforms on one bike? Can I make a respectable adventure bike from a VFR? Would I want to? Dry weight of a GS and a VFR are within 25-30 lbs. Use an LSL Superbike handlebar kit and put on a sweet set of BMW like wide, straight bars with heated grips and hand guards. Get new wheels and new spacers of size which would accommodate some DOT knobbies. Would have to mod the front fender for said front knobbies. Fab a bitchin crash bar system much like I've seen on VFR police bikes. Mount some bitchin driving lights to said bitchin crash bars. Pick up some fugly big ol' aluminum saddle bags as is so widely used on other adventure bikes. Lower pegs with BLS lowering blocks. Already have Kanadian Ken top box mounting plate for rear box or extra gas can. Am I crazy or might this be a cool project? Suspension travel could be an issue for sure, but as long as I keep to fire roads and dirt roads and don't plan on bouncing through creeks and over boulders....
