I just ordered the knock-off's from China on ebay...
CNC Folding&Extending Brake Clutch Levers For Honda VFR800/F 2002-2014 2013 2011
Item# 141498808716
They look great, they mount well on the bike (with a little more slop than oem as noted above), and seem like a quality unit, but it will be a while before I get to try them... but $37.01 USD shipped to Canada is a heck of a good price!

How do they fit and look? Any pics?
-
Adjusting should do it (and if it doesn't, you have your answer)

I just installed my PCV last week on my 02 and its great, no issues for the 02-05's even though Dynojet doesn't "officially" support them. I used member GPM's fuel map as he ran a similar stock setup to myself.

Seb - I'd really like one too if you do another batch... one of these would be a perfect touch on my 2002!

Just swapped in -1+2 steel sprockets on my 2002, with the an RK XW 520 chain conversion. More pickup, no noticeable vibration, highway cruising is fine... should have done it sooner. I have a SpeedoDRD on order though to correct the readout.

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:

- 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

- 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)

Easy solution for lights is something like this:

I have them on mine, cheap as heck and work just fine.
