I can't seem to not wheelie my VFRs! They just...do.
-
Trying not to start new tire threads as we have a few! Have any of you run the GPR-300 front, rear, or pair on the 5th gens? If so, how were they? Same question for hte RoadSport (not RoadSmart). Thanks!

Have you tried Givi? They're right here in Charlotte, NC. Also one in U.K. https://www.givi.co.uk/- 1 reply

Welcome. Sargent seat is the ticket. monitor the forums. How does the tank look inside? Last brake/clutch fluid flush date/miles from now?

Do folks ever reassemble and just slip the screens? There's a similar system in the Subaru turbo oil lines with filters being in one to all of a few locations. You have to take them all off to find out. Surprise. The filter die then grenade the turbo, or worse. Only one is sort of easy to get to. Some require similar to a timing belt service. unreal... The solution is to remove them all.

Welcome! You'lll find a lot of great info through searching the forum and the service manuals here. The people aren't bad either. 🙂 (I have an aunt in Houston!)

I hear a small squeal, but it sounds like metal vibration to me. Also, you can "not-earplug" all you want...but that only ensures that you won't be able to hear anything (including your VFR) as you get older. Get the plugs, you can hear the engine and intake just fine with them.

Thanks all. I went Amazon Hella H4 and cut the tabs for under $7...and ordered a spare.
-
Under the same conditions, how did it work before?
-
I must admit...I don't hear anything.
-
I'm going non-LED too.
-
Looks like $40 for two fancy LEDs or $7 for an old school Hella from Wally World. ($3 from Summit, but then there's S&H.) Rock Auto $2. Price variances right now are nuts.
-
Can you roll it easily?
-
Perhaps make the angle right and just move the break between the black and white rearward a little. That would also move the bolt and hole into the white section.
-
I don't want "more." I just want to ensure that I don't create any electrical issues. Seems like any LED would be fine. Any recommendations?
-
Slightly afraid to revive this...but one of my 1998 VFR headlights died yesterday. Is there any reason not to replace one or both with a newer plug 'n play LEDs? https://www.ebay.com/itm/126017707640 https://www.ebay.com/itm/126360339156 Is it okay to go 60/55 if they're LEDs instead of 45 45 without any troubles? https://www.ebay.com/itm/374944590245

So it is the plugs themselves of their wires? I can't tell from your note.

I rode mine! lol Just over 200 miles with my buddy Mac, who keeps supplying me with low mile old VFRs he finds. Both of my red ones came from him, as did my two trailers ago trailer. He showed up on a 600 mile perfect Bandit 1250 w/ABS. He has a knack! We covered all kinds of mediocre backroads. You guys should have come!
-
Id you just surf their site or contact them? I'd write/call. Tell them that you want to keep it old/authentic. They'll likely send it to you.

Where is the ball?
-
Weather still looking great. 70s all day. Anyone interested?
-
The weather currently looks perfect for a spin. I'm open to a long local ride east of Charlotte or Morganton. Chime in if you're interested.

Take a few pics and post them to us.

Is it clean and working properly mechanically (resistance check?
