VFRnGTP

Recall under way! The train has left the building...er...VFR has left the building...and is now sitting on the lift at FBC here in San Diego. I dropped it off on Tuesday evening for them to take care of it yesterday (Wednesday) and was told that it would only take a day to get the front sub-harness replaced under the recall. It turns out, upon inspection of all the goods, the main fuse-block, red connector is melted and they're waiting for Honda to say go-ahead. The only trouble with that is the main wiring harness, they're being told, is NOT available for direct purchase. That means that you or I could not go in and order the main wiring harness, but the dealer has to contact Honda directly, and provide reason for it, then and only then will Honda release a harness to them. Has anyone else heard of this? Either way, it looks like I'm out of commission for at least a week...no problem tho..I'll be north of LA for work next week and my weekend is already booked solid... By the way, kudos to Jay, the Service Advisor I've beendealign with. He explained the problem to me with the main harness and the burned up red-connector and even brought me back to look at it on the shop floor... :idea3:

I finally got around to contacting my local dealer (Fun Bike Center, San Diego) and after they took my information down on Friday, they finally heard back from Honda today that the parts are back ordered until April 25 or so. Good news is, they don't have possession of my VFR while waiting for the parts. They did tell me that once they have the parts, it will only be a day or two until it's completed. Looks like I get to rude until the end of the month! VFRnGTP

I love my Stebel....Loud as SH!T.... This thing is wonderful and paid for itself about a month after I put it on (way back in MA...)...It doesn't fit well on the ABS models, and it IS tight under the front fork. The spacing is tight and it does rub, but doesn't hurt anything. The other thing, The ABS model VFR's don't have the TAB. I ended up making myself a "T" bracket to span the open space, and utterly destroyed 2 band-saw blades doing so. A plasma cutter or water jet would have been MUCH better :-) If I can find my pics, I'll post 'em up. ABS model 2004, installed under the front fork, tight clearance, less a few of the bugs :-) -VFRnGTP
