Lobster, any updates or leads on where your bike has gone?  Did any of the searches help? 

I don't have the VIN so I guess the searches will not work.  No update on the bike.  I was thinking about it today as I was cruising down I26.  Hoping one of you lads might have seen it.

Reaching out to the VFRD community to see if anyone knows where this bike is or who owns it?  I'd like to buy it back for the THIRD time...  I sold this to a kid in MN, then bought it back from him, then sold it MaxSwell and I think he has since sold it.

Please hit me via PM if anyone has a lead.

Thanks.

Miss the bike and miss this forum.  Life has a funny way of getting in the way!

Hello Everyone,

It's been a long time since I have been on VFRD and an even longer time since I have been on a VFR!  Life takes many turns and mine has taken me to Greenville, SC.  I realize this is only about 2.5hrs from the Tail.  I sure miss all of you and miss riding.  I have never been to TMAC and might just have to stop by next year even if I am in my car!  (currently don't own any two wheeled machines...)

I didn't see many yellow 5th gens in the pics.  Anyone figure out where my old yellow viffer ended up?

I hope and pray all my old friends on this site are well.  Hope to see you again soon.

I am WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY in!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.

I asked him to do the same but he told me to go pound sand! Must be he likes you more than me....

Just kiddin Ken...love ya brother!

Seriously...I'm in.

Welcome. I grew up in Fairfax. Manassas used to be the boondocks when I was little...now it's a suburb of DC...I don't even recognize it anymore.

May I just say that you all are bastages as I cannot attend this year.

Please accept my prayers to all of you for a safe and enjoyable event!

Hope to see you all next year.

ordered...thanks!

I'd like to hammer some nails with it.

C'mon, Tim! I think it looks cool! How much?

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.

Welcome! You won't find a better group of VFR crazies!

Bailey, thanks. I'll send you a check! (not!)

CornerCarver, thanks. I'll keep you posted.

And if one of you guys ends up buying it, that's cool too. Just make sure you give the guy more than I was gonna give him! (He's giving me a beefy discount to cover the shipping costs...)

I need some early VF help. There is an 85 VF500 for sale in the San Diego area. I would imagine it's on CL. I found this guy through another web forum. I'm thinking about buying it sight unseen and having it shipped to me in MI. At this time, LOML has approved and I want to strike while the iron is hot!

I was hoping maybe someone here might be able to go take it for a spin and let me know of any issues?

If any of you would be willing to help, please PM me and I'll send you my cell number and we can talk.

Thanks!

A little too industrial looking for me. They look well finished though.

Gotta agree ..

I think they look killer. How much? Sorry...just looked online...choke choke....$500!!!!!!

I've never even heard of Variobars. I had Helibars on my last 5th gen and really liked them. Maybe check out Convertibars?

Terry,

You MUST be kidding me! You made this up, right? This is some kind of lame attempt at forum humor and you're gonna tell everyone at TMAC this was all a big hoax, right?

Sheesh man...

You can have my screen!

I'm out. I'm sorry. Work is brutal right now. Just can't swing it.

I am WAAAAAAY jealous. I want to do this one day. I hope he is still doing the school in a few years when I can finally go.

Thanks for the props! I appreciate it.

Another batch is in production. Please see classifieds.

Thanks!

Awesome pics. Loved the "before and after" ones for sure also.

The only weather we get here in Michigan in November are clouds and rain...and sometimes snow. But at least we have straight, flat roads to make up for it...

I have enough plastic to make some, but the last guy who asked bailed on me...send me a PM if you are interested.

Last time I had a slippery feeling was because the air was low...

I went through Glacier with my parents YEARS ago. It was mid-July and there was still snow up at Logan's Pass....amazingly beautiful area.
