  1. A little background first... I've been riding about 8 years now; started with a 2005 Ninja 500, then 3 years ago I made the move and upgraded to a 2002 VFR800. I was looking specifically for a 2009 in white/black (as I find this to be the best looking bike on the road), but when I saw a 2002 painted in that exact color scheme (!!!) on Kijiji for about half the price the 09's were going for, I knew what was going to happen next... and 2 days later I own a 2002 VFR800! 43,000km or so, currently at about 54,000km.

    'Mods' when I bought it:

    - Repainted in '09 White/Black, no decals on the bike - all logos are airbrushed

    - Carbon Fibre-ish gas cap cover

    - Carbon Fibre-ish mirrors

    - Carbon Fibre-ish barends

    - Carbon Fibre-ish tank pad

    - Black Double-bubble windscreen

    - LED license plate bolt bulbs

    Mods to date:

    - Carbon Fibre-ish triple cover

    - Clear front signal lenses

    - Heli-bars

    - Pro Grips

    - Power Commander 5

    - Corbin Seat

    - Honda Factory Sidebags

    - Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horn

    - Battery Tender Jr SAE harness (and BT SAE->USB adapter for charging)

    - RK Gold XW 520 Chain conversion with steel -1+2 sprockets

    - EBC HH sintered rear brake pads

    - De-snorkeled, de-flappered, PAIR removed

    JUST ADDED:

    - Autotune

    - Aftermarket clear/red taillight

    - "Chrome-dome" turn signal bulbs - full amber glow, only chrome tipped not fully dipped, but when off show silver when facing bike (in transit)

    - Gear indicator (cheapy Chinese eBay unit - have not finalized the pickup locations as my forks are still off, need to get it on road to test it)

    - Volt meter (eBay cheapy from China)

    - SpeedoDRD to correct changed gearing and factory inaccuracy

    - 6sigma PAIR blockoff plates

    - VFRness

    - Ricks R/R

    - Jamie D rear shock (CBR600F4), fully adjustable cartridge kit in forks

    - Replaced carbon-fibre look barends with OEM black barends

    - Replaced carbon-fibre look mirrors with OEM black mirrors

    - New starter relay / connector / wiring (due to melting, see thread "crispy starter solenoid")

    - Went through every connector and as much wiring as I could access to ensure nothing else is burned/melted/needed to be replaced. Dielectric grease ftw

    - New rear Pirelli Angel GT

    - Replacement OEM Honda spark plugs

    - Chinese adjustable/foldable black/titanium levers

    Mods to come:

    - 8 spoke 90-93 rear wheel (working on finding one)

    - Sebspeed clear clutch cover

    - Staintunes (possibly)

    - Rear OEM topcase (possibly)

    Its been a fun winter of farkling... If anyone wants details on install of any parts, or any specific pictures, post up or PM me!
