Very cool, I am not very talented at doing stuff like that, but no doubt someone is. So it sounds like someone could either do like you did, or they could drive by Tech Spec and have them do it. Either way, I Hope someone gets us a nice 8th gen Tech Spec design

On my 6th gen I had Tech Spec Tank grip pads, and they were awesome. High quality, fit perfect, gripped well. I don't see them for the VFR800 6th gen anymore. When I got my 8th gen, I inquired with them and they said all they need to make 8th gen is someone with an 8th gen to visit their facility, they will measure and then be able to add to catalog. So if anyone lives near Tech Spec ( 2436 Precision Dr, Ste I, Minden, Nevada, 89423, United States ) maybe swing by with your 8th gen, let them measure and then we can all have a nice option, that is shaped perfect and fits perfect.

I am wanting to get rid of the stock tail/reflectors and get something more streamline. Where can I buy this? I saw there was at least one person on here making them, I tried to contact and email to their personal email and got no response. Anyone?

So do you have to drill to get it out, or can you just remove the screw and pull it out?

My last VFR was a 2003 with Two Brothers Carbon exhaust......pretty loud but nice tone. On the 2015 VFR800F I put the Akrapovic on. It sounds better than stock but still a bit tame. Do you think its better with the baffle out or does that make it too loud? Also, to take the baffle out, can I just remove the screw and pull it out, or do you think I have to dismount the exhaust to do it?

So you just have voids/holes where the grab handles would normally attach?

No joke about Deals Gap. There is a Youtube video of a dude riding solo, that collided with another dude who was solo. One of them went over the cliff, died, no trace. The other went over cliff, broke a ton of bones and was basically not able to move. No one knew they were there, no one knew an accident had happened. After about 24 hours the person who was still alive was recovered, just from his screams miraculously being heard. I can't imagine the fear of being that injured, that alone, and not knowing if you will just die there..........and not to mention what animals, insects, etc may come along and start having its way with you.

A quick poll to see how most of you have your pillion setup. I would think Seat and Grab Handles or Cowl and Covers is very common........but I could see people that run the Cowl with Grab Handles just so they can switch it up super quick if needed. I don't ride a passenger myself, so I am thinking of removing my grab handles and putting the covers on (with the cowl) for a super clean look. By "covers", I mean the cover plates which cover the void when you remove the grab handles.

You should post some pics of that, sounds really neat

I find the Red and Yellow side reflectors on bikes unsightly. I realize its required for DOT compliance in the USA. But I look at getting rid of them as an upgrade. Thoughts?

Thanks but that is pretty expensive. I did find the box mount for like $89 at David Silvers, but I even cancelled that order. Instead I went with HGB in UK. They put together a complete setup: Rear Carrier, Box Mount, Box, Locks........for a fair price, even with shipping. I should have it in a few weeks. Right now Honda has "special pricing" on the VFR800F box kits in Black and Red. They also have "special pricing" on the VFR800X box sets in White and a few other colors. I needed White. But the 800X rear carrier is different. So what we did is we bought two kits, the White 800X and a Red 800F, swapped the rear carriers, and then I had to pay a bit of a surcharge, but I ended up buying just what I need and got it all at a fair price.

Is that BMW an S1000RR? That looks super nice!

I have the original Service Manual, 2002-2007 edition, which has every errata installed I could find (there were MANY since the original 2002 publication). Shows use, but no pages falling out or anything like that, this is a solid manual that every owner should have. $25 shipped.

I have the MRA VarioTouring Windscreen for 6th Gen. Arguably the BEST windscreen to put on your VFR. These are $176.95 from Twisted Throttle. https://www.twistedthrottle.com/mra-variotouringscreen-windshield-for-honda-vfr800-vtec-interceptor-02 MRA Part MRA.01.035.VT.1 "The VarioTouringScreen features a 7-position adjustable spoiler at the top of a TouringScreen-shaped windshield. The adjustable spoiler can be used to redirect airflow to suit the rider." This is in excellent condition. $110 shipped.

It says its for 2017+ VFR800. So I guess that won't work on our US models.

What did he purchase and from where?

I am looking for a Rear Carrier for 2015 VFR800F US Part # 08L73-MKM-A10 UK Part # 08L71-MJM-D10 (supersedes 08L42-MGE-800) 33L Top Box White 08L711-MKM-A00ZB

This is a Brand New in Box, Ricks MOSFET R/R. It will fit 2000-2007 VFR:https://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/Hot-Shot-Honda-Rectifier-Regulator-10_126H$100This was a spare of mine, but I am selling my bike so no longer need it.

Nice video, I guess you had someone else work the camera?

I have read the threads on Speedbleeders for the 8th gen, and the list you need is: Front……SB7100S quantity 2, 1 for each caliper Rear…….SB8125L quantity 1 Clutch….SB8125L But what about the PCV? On the 6th gen, there are 2 for a ABS PCV (1 for the non-ABS version). Does the 8th gen not have a bleeder for PCV?

10 hours of riding in a day is probably too much for my own tastes. What sort of setup do you have on the bike to help with comfort? Risers? throttlemeister?

Just a followup. I called Partzilla. D03 now supersedes D02. For 2003 bikes no flywheel change is needed according to Partzilla tech support, they have made D03 now to work with any of the 2003 serial numbers.........will update when parts arrive if I find differently.

OK, so I have the 2003 model which is an engine serial block that requires the D02 stator. Are you saying if I order a new flywheel and D03 stator that will work? If so then let me know I just ordered a D02 stator to have as a backup but would rather have the latest stuff! Whats confusing is that when you look at the parts diagram of a 2003: http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/2003/VFR800+AC/ALTERNATOR/parts.html It shows just one flywheel 31110-MCW-D02 But it shows two stators: 31120-MCW-D03 or 31120-MCW-D02 for engines up to serial 2503808 I have an engine prior to 2503808, so that's why I ordered the D02 stator, but it doesn't seem the flywheel has any different part #. I think the 2003 situation with the alternator is a bit different than 2002 no?

Does the stator really need to be converted? Post-recall, Honda has the stator for '02 (and '03 for up to certain engine builds), which is the D02 part. I would assume this part does not have issues, just like the D03......?

I don't see these come up that much, a bit pricy I guess, but looks like a minty 800A: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/mcd/4701675553.html
