Had a way better experience with the PR4. Got the 'new' PR2's, from a dealer, for last season and the cold and wet grip just doesn't compare to the PR4's from a couple of years ago. I really don't feel comfortable with leaning too far into the warm either anymore. Of course though, the tread life is amazing on both.

Not to bring this thread from the dead but motorcycle season is starting and would love to know how all of it is holding up. On the cusp of trying your fan solution.

Thank you guys! This was the last link 'we' needed! Gathering the parts, itself, has been a challenge being that so many of the used 'good' looking parts have had their own individual problems. The rear cylinder, that was already bought, doesn't seem to be an exception.

Really quick question. A lot of the f4i fork swap threads mention buying something similar to a f4i rear cylinder along with a f4i front M/C. Could some one explain to me exactly why? I have a suspension shop doing this job for me and the mechanic didn't want to keep the rear f4i cylinder because I couldn't give him a good enough reason to why. Any help? Thank you.

Inquiring the same for a delivery to Poland. Couldn't we just say that value is closer to $0 than $800? 😉

Ha, my previous wolf had an aluminum plate 'shield' vs box. Wonder what other corners the previous owner cut. Thanks for the input!

VFRs have a certain timeless look to them. Can keep it old school or go with the current day ducati thing 😉 Not to further hijack this more but can you just arbitrarily go from single to dual can? Would it need a definite custom tune if made by the 'local guy'?

haha, 31 but always being mistaken for 24. If those pictures are sebspeed's work, he has lovely pipe (placement) management. ((That's a title of a porno if I've ever heard one.)) My wolf exhaust had a slight indent in the pipe in order to give more wheel clearance. Last picture looks great. Btw, asked the ebay person and their only response was, "I don't do fabrication, so really have no idea about that. Sorry."

Do you think a dual can, under seat set up could be possible or the dimensions make it out of the question? Will email them either way. Thanks for posting mate!

I had a Corbin smuggler seat on my last bike. Rode 6 hours at a time and still had a non sore ass. Don't know how the smuggler seat compares to their regular offering though. I have also been looking into replacing the stock seat for next years riding season. Have you ever thought of doing your own custom thing? Watch this video: Yes, the guy in the video does this for a living but you could get away with doing something a bit simpler to improve the cush to your tush. I my not shave the seat down to the plastic but there are others who cut out square/rectangular sections and add a low/high density memory foam combo inside the cutout. You can buy really good seat covers for cheap to finish it off. Here is a video for that 'simpler' process. youtube.com/watch?v=og0raStEtF4

Great work on this mate. Had an old wolf exhaust on a previous bike and would love to go down the same route as you did. Here in Poland, we don't have great affordable options (zl vs. euro/pounds) and a dual aliexpress akrapovic can setup is being researched... so thanks for the dimensions! Have to ask, did you do any tuning after the setup? Do you, or anyone, know if going from one can to two, without "special" VFR cans, could be detrimental to performance? My mechanic friend was saying that with my current aftermarket + a new pipercross air filter, I should have some custom tune done for long term reliability. Guessing two cans would change the dynamic that much more? Perhaps a stupid question, just not familiar with the relationship between it all. Thanks!

Black isn't the worst choice ;D Hides the dirt! I've been powdercoating my wheels gold for every red VFR I get. Looks AMAZING, but it definitely let's everyone know when they're dirty or not haha. (Clear coats on top should be a given) Then again, you should clean them every week anyways. Here's a picture for any reference.

Rant aside, I outran a helicopter and got away. They faked finding the rider by storming a apartment complex. I parked the bike under a tree between two f 150s and ditching my gear. Helicopter followed me while walking back home but got called off. My fault, my bad decision but I was not the only one to want to and do it. Being older, I will happily take the ticket. Don't want to tarnish the community here. Cops stopped giving Socal riders the benefit of the doubt a long time ago. They would indiscriminately round up anyone in many of the rides that made sure to follow the laws. No worries, I grew up so thanks for the input fellas.
