I'm glad you resolved this issue, but yes, this mod has been in discussion and debate for over a decade as the 6th gen shares its engine block design and suspension linkage design with the 8th gen and Cross. I applied the same mod to my 6th gen back in 2010, but didn't have any issues with shock setting access.

That makes sense. Even if we get a viable vaccine by the end of the year, broad distribution may be difficult, and will take a good part of 2021. I did my part, I'm a Stage 3 Moderna guinea pig. I don't have the science skills to do anything else.

My 2002 headlights are beginning to fall apart. A new set is over $500, but I spotted these this morning. Has anyone tried them? https://motorgenic.com/headlight-assembly-headlamp-honda-vfr800-2002-2012-clear/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhb36BRCfARIsAKcXh6G5cThDcugD--TRT9FgFJPzCiUyCVPJ4KdhoadhCq7IVdW6ElbCfdEaAn1eEALw_wcB

This one was handy.

Are these the BikeMaster mirrors for the CBR1000RR (2004-2007)? I noticed that Partzilla has the actual OEM parts (88110/88120-MEL-013). I replaced my originals with Honda OEM VFR a couple of years ago, but I like the idea of getting a better view without my elbows. Has anyone tried with the OEM Honda parts?

I didn't see this until today. Several years ago, I went down the paint black wheels silver route with my 2002. I hope your paint holds up better than mine, but I can tell you did a better job of prep. Mine are black chrome (read gunmetal) powdercoat and they look as good as the day I got them back in 2014. I know that I posted a photo back when I did them.

Wow. I've had HEL lines on my sixth gen for some time without issue. I'm surprised by this problem. Brake lines should last more than a few years. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Honda's obvious response should be an improved VFR1200F and X, but I'm not holding my breath, since they didn't see a need to counter the Kawasaki H2 SX, in any of its flavors. I suspect we have been orphaned by Honda, at least in the US. With my advancing age, I will either retire from riding, or look for another answer. With the maintenance I have invested in my 6th gen, I don't have to be in a hurry to make my next move.

It's a little ironic that you picked the "Bueller" reference, since Honda did the same to launch the 2012 CR-V. My wife drives a "Bueller" Red model of this car, sigh, she doesn't have the nav pictured in the ad.

Just came back from the Black Hills in SoDak. Highly recommend breakfast in Deadwood at Lee Station.

I don't think you want to take the Fort Francis/International Falls route to Bemidji, MN. I did it last year and found more than a few places on the Trans-Canada where the tarmac became gravel. I'd go down the North Shore of Lake Superior to Silver Bay and cut across. It's a very beautiful ride. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Thunder+Bay,+ON,+Canada/Bemidji,+MN+56601/@47.9930394,-93.1862284,8z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4d5921774c16e98d:0x3d0557348f1d8b74!2m2!1d-89.2476823!2d48.3808951!1m5!1m1!1s0x52b82c4ec41eb7c7:0xd6f67c8df095e306!2m2!1d-94.8826861!2d47.471573!5i1

Not my bike, but what a sweet '86. I'll be in the garage, permanently, if I bring this home. https://raresportbikesforsale.com/featured-listing-1986-honda-vfr750f/

Replaced both at 50,000 miles. No issues and better low end response for the past 12,000 miles. Please note I do NOT have a Power Commander, nor any other mods to the intakes, exhausts, or electronics. Yes, I'm coming up on the 64,000 mile valve check.

Thanks. While I understand the other comment. For those of us who have reached an age where our night vision is not as good as it was, additional light is useful. I will probably look at supplemental lights such as those made by Denali. I was thinking that they could mount in the widest part of the front fairing opening to keep them low, but adding to available light.
