Nothing and I mean nothing is as clear as those Honda OEM VFR mirrors. You can pick out a Highway Patrol from way WAY out behind you with those mirrors! I know from experience! You can tell the make and model of vehicles behind you easily too. But that’s not all. You don’t have to move your arm out of the way to see anything either. The view is not only crystal clear it is free of any obstruction. It’s the best rear view mirror for the VFR. Period. I gave up looking at something different. But that’s just me, and I do understand the desire to set your ride apart. I spent my $$ on a smoke windscreen and brighter headlights and powder coated wheels with an 8-spoke rear. You want something that goes POP!? Get an 8-spoke rear wheel! Whether it’s sitting still or spinning, an 8-spoker looks awesome.

I'm not an Engineer. But I've been told in another forum for another make of bike with similar stator failures, heat is the enemy of stators. Since it's bathed in engine oil, there needs to be the right amount of oil and that oil needs to have the capability to dissipate that heat consistently especially under load. In that particular bike, the manufacturer increased the stator output but kept the oil volume the same as the lower powered stator. Result: consistent stator failure within 20k miles, especially on bikes used extensively in high heat, high load conditions. So with that in mind, correct oil quantity and quality (newer oil) matters. Perhaps also prolonged running at 220 degrees F and above also contributes to how long your stator will last. Honda recommends a 7,500 mile oil change interval on dyno-oil. That seems too long to me. Just my theory and based on pure speculation and internet educated guesses.

Replacing stator this weekend as a preventative maintenance (it hasn't failed yet). I'm quite sure I need to replace the cam Chain tensioner too (making a slight knocking noise at idle). Will do that in November when the riding tempo slows down some. That requires removal of Throttle Body for the front bank of cylinders and I'm too lazy to do that right now. Bike has been super reliable. I love Hondas.
