Great looking project. Will keep a very interested eye on this. Nice Cadwell pics too, one of my favourite circuits.

My 2013 7th Gen has developed the same problem. Headlight went out while out on a run on a weeknd away recently, didn't work for a day then worked again after being left overnight. Now headlight and high beam are not working, everything else, tail light, indicators etc. are OK and fuse and bulbs are good so I think it's the relay. Not ignoring the starter switch but as I've popped the tank up thought I'd start at the relay. Does anyone know the part number for the headlight relay? My local dealer seems to be having difficulty identifying the right one! Thanks.

Thankfully she's back home in Scotland and on the long road to recovery now but it was touch and go for a while. She has the generosity of friends, family and strangers to thank after her insurance company let her down and all for a moments carelessness.

I know. I was making a little joke.

Not all the time though

http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/august/freddie-spencer-talks-feel-and-traction-control/ Fast Freddie's mate Sebastian said it best, "I don't want anything to interfere with the feeling I get from riding". My own contribution = See yah

Maybe upgrading both is the answer.

I think that's probably the main point. Perhaps they intended the white LEDs to be there for when the daylight begins to diminish, I think they show up fairly well then. I've noticed a lot of modern cars with indicators / turn signals that are part of the headlight assembly are drowned out by the main light.

It's a 1999 BTW. TBH it's in bits ATM but I'll be putting it back together soon. Maybe it's time for me to blowthe cobwebs off!!!

The big 9r eats those R1s for breakfast...perfect for a big lad like you. I'm 6‘2" and 15 stone and it dragged my sorry butt around OK. Gowan, you know it makes sense.

Looks like a good day. I miss track days! @jackvfr, what you need is a nice cheap track bike package, something like ZX9r with spare wheels, tyre warmers and track stands. The Mrs. will understand why you went for a bargain with everything you need thrown in.

Rider skill of course but the bike still needs to be capable. That's a very different scenario to a straight line wheely on a Goldwing. As for the post qouted, the VFR1200 shaft drive has no bad effects, it rides very well. The bike was never intended as a Pan replacement, it's a sport tourer and it does both very well in my experience. I didn't want a big lumbering Pan, I wanted a powerful shaft drive VFR and that's what Honda built. It rides very much like a big 800Fi and goes like stink. For years people posted all over the internet that Honda should build a 1000 to 1200cc shaft drive VFR. As soon as they did loads of people started moaning that it wasn't ground breaking, wasn't a Blade, wasn't a Pan, wasn't really a VFR!!! It looks to me that whatever they build it'll be wrong for the internet opinion poll! Meanwhile, I'll just continue travelling around the UK's roads at warp factor 10 with an insane grin on my face because in my not insubstantial experience this is an awesome ST bike.

My 2001 Fi1 sits nicely alongside my 2013 7th Gen. It ain't going anywhere, I'll be keeping it forever. Well, as long as I'm here anyway

I'm sure if you ask or book a test ride they'll sort it. I just took what they had as a courtesy bike. Mechanic didn't say anything about waiting for stock, they booked mine in as soon as I called.

Looks good, I like the white bikes. Very tempted to get some carbon wing mirror covers. Thanks for the link.
