Yes, dropping the rear without dropping the front end the same amount will cause steering to slow by streaching out the forks forward. Can't remember if that's increasing or decreasing rake term wise. This is the opposite of what most people will do ! :warranty: You want to set proper SAG to your weight for best/safest performance, not to get you feet on the ground. Removing all the rebound (CCW) from the rear shock will most likely cause some pogoing with no dampning to keep the spring for popping back up.

U da Man ! (bowing icon) :warranty:

Thanks Ken, That does it ! :warranty: Now who is this Rick clown ? :lol:

Just something I can read Ken ! I can see the Beautiful Beast part OK. You forget how old I am ? :warranty:

Cool and congrats Rick ! :warranty: Get a full copy posted or a link to the article for the rest of use to enjoy! Please!!! :thumbsup:

Picked up the Buell pegs from the HD store, I think that was the first time I've ever walked in to a Harley Dealer. :idea3: Everyone was pretty nice, a nice young was the first the greet me and walked me to the parts counter. The parts guy addressed me by Mr. Bailey and thank you Sir. Maybe there all just making so much money there all happy! :P $34.80 with tax.

I ordered a set of Buell pegs to try on my bike and at only $16 each retail it's a very cheap way to try out lower pegs. Thanks for the idea and post. :beer:

Damn Vtec's ! :blink:

Here is the NHTSA web site(thanks to another member) http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems...laintsearch.cfm I think every Vtec owner that has had the Headlights shut off or the bike Die in mid ride should file a Safety complaint with the NHTSA, because either issue is a major Safety concern and should be documented. This will help all Vtec owner's down the road and help get Honda's attention. :huh: Now if like me your wires just melt and the bike might not start, that's not really a Safety issue and so it may not help to file.

Thanks for the link ProMed ! :huh: Please contact Customer Service at Honda to complain ! Many VFRd members have had their bike repaired by Honda even with out being under Warranty, but it takes some pushing and being able to show 5, 10, 30 samples of other VFR owners having the same problems will help back you up. I would love to have a list of every Vtec owner who has had these elec. issues and their bike Vin #'s to pass around to new members to bring to their Dealers and send to Honda when trying to get a repair covered.

We lost all the great and important info related to the Vtec's wiring harness problems and I wanted to try and rebuild all the great info that was in the old post that included problems, cures, dealing with your Dealer's and Honda related to repairs. Contact numbers to file complaints with American Honda, customer service contacts and all the results members had with fighting to get these repairs done by Honda even when their bike was out of warranty. Please post your past problems and stories here related to our 6th Gens wiring harness issues. All this old info was used many times with service repair numbers provided by other members that help them convince both Honda and their Dealer that this is a common problem and should be repaired. Even pushing for a Recall through the NHSTA(?) or whatever. The only purpose here is to help anyone with future problems and repairs related to Vtec wiring harness issues. Please help! :thumbsup: Thanks. We lost the post "My first electrical problem" and " something's burning" among other's. i f you posted in any of these please re-post. PS Vtec bashing not welcome from non-Vtec owners! Thanks <_<

Cool ! :warranty:

The VTEC engagement point has Never been an issue for me! :warranty: Not in the last 30,000 miles anyway. :thumbsup:

Agreed on two things, (a.) nice write-up and install; (b.) a shift light is something I'll never need. One thing I would say is that the light needs to be much higher on the dash than it's current install, the higher the easier it is to see even peripherally. I hate straights so I will never be out road because someone has a shift light, but it's cool ! :thumbsup: Good job guys.

Awesome and congrats ! :warranty: Let us know what the airbox mods do too!

Thank God, for a minute I thought that maybe chris just dressed a little wierd! :beer: I'm glad it's not him. :thumbsup:

Nice post Rob ! :thumbsup: For my spacer, I just used a piece of 1" aluminum 6 sided bar stock(solid) and drilled a hole in it for the bolt. Light, strong, easy. :thumbsup: I also agree the the 929 shock is the better way to go for this swap !
