    If you have to ask about housing prices in Malibu.... You can't afford it... Great roads though.

    Very nice work Dr Frankenstein. Err, Seb. May you make lots of money at this. Someone hook Seb up with a Rock Star that likes bikes.

    Wow.

    Wish I had a definite answer. Maybe a couple inches up and back, and a bit wider too. Maybe less, small changes can make a big difference sometimes. But, I'm just guessing. Have not had a chance to compare it side by side with a stock 5th gen bike. I can say it is noticeably more comfortable for me, and I'm happy with it.

    You just need a little old act of Congress right? Good luck with that.

    Never say never, eh? Good luck with it KKKKen. May you see a nice increase in your slush fund, and some VFR riders get a nice piece of kit.

    OK, salesman gene kicking in maybe. I like the look of those. Don't want the expense or install job. I just wanna ride.

    Both Apes have hydraulic clutches. Have only had 1 time the clutch went soft on the older one. Time for bleeding. The rear brakes oto on the thing are notorious for going soft. Minimal stopping power when they work. Who needs rear brakes anyway? The fronts have never been a problem. They are great. It's that Italian character.

    Not the salesman type, eh? Me neither.

    Is there anything in Harbor Freight you don't have but still could use in your shop, Seb? You are the man with the good tolls, and know how to use them. It's not something I ever plan to do, but interesting to read.

    A clear violation of Asimovs 3 laws.

    I have stock 5th gen clip ons laying in the garage, since I replaced them with an LSL superbike bar. No grips or throttle tube or anything. Don't know if they would work for you, but if so PM me.

    Nice writeup man. I'm thinking some of the close up photos are a bit fuzzy. Possibly because the coffee was gone this morning, then there was a good ride, and now it's past beer:30.

    Ride hard. Put away wet. Maybe dry off with one of those garage towels.

    I just bought a TomTom which has a permanently attached ball socket with a suction cup for attachment. It has a dial or whatever above the suction cup that you turn to pull the cup in and make it stick to the windshield. Not sure that's a good description, but it works easy in my truck. For the VFR was thinking about using the stickon smooth disk they include for mounting with the cup somewhere that's not smooth. And putting it on the horizontal part of the fairing under the handgrip. It wouldn't be in the way I don't think, but would not be easy to see at a glance. Should probably get a bluetooth headset too. Hmm.

    Says the guy who was knee deep in rain water trying to help me right my VFR... Missed that story. Guess it worked out OK.

    Hmm. I guess $800 for used unobtanium is pretty good. I sold a similarly crusty 2 can system for an Aprilia with 1 dented can for $500 and I paid the $50 shipping. It was easily available new, if you wanted to spend $1,400. Edit, Canuck popped in there while I was typing. Sweet!

    Clearly beauty is more than skin deep. I was thinking crusty looking.

    Congrats. Hope the mods to the bike are temporary. And you live happily ever after, as they say sometimes happens.
  21. VFR4Lee
    That's a good thought. Reminds me I need to replace the spare I like to keep in the tail section.
  22. VFR4Lee
    It would seem at least one was imported before.
  23. VFR4Lee
    That'll do it. Had an issue with the throttle linkage on my other bike. First it just seemed extra peppy that day. Then in the slower twisty bits, I realized it wasn't going down to idle speed when I let off the throttle. Not so good.
  24. VFR4Lee
    Givi Monorack for 98 - 01 VFR about $155, and JC Whitney large top case at about $45 fits it perfectly. My solution since Kens 5th gen rack is sold out, and unlikely to be made again, and I am very happy with it.

    Postscript. Took a ride yesterday of 472 miles over about 8 1/2 hours. Some freeway but lots of 2 lane like 33 north out of Ojai, 166 west, and 58 east out of Paso Robles. At the end I was a little tired and sore, but not bad. Actually felt pretty darn good. Contrast that with previous rides with the stock setup and clip ons raised to fork tube tops. Rides of 6 or 7 hours with a longer break for lunch and more like 330 or 340 miles (Laguna Seca) left me worn out and sore. So, a huge difference in comfort and well worth it imho. Road trip!
