  1. Turns out it was here: https://fulfillgift.com/product/fgma0820-honda-vfr-bt/?fbclid=IwAR1Km-NQ5pqEgd4bb94myy_G3KlXu51SBUDEeInZAtvYR3vSj-GVcRnU4JA&__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=7fd7a31cbd27f0d947702a4c102eb9ff965e8908-1584579179-0-AVboNolcdYjN-HsogXQauwUOqXWeCJobvt_JHx2VSiu-JAOF9D2Hyj9luYAzxnpzf9ANeWHpLZV2dRfhhrZOc6R2Z3baYsib88EaSsMV5T2yAKg8BxOJCfsfXMQz7zdRSo_p57WZ2vk1Ov5IVcZg8jrVVlcpGm7woqnvAQAKw7KwzJjbApctg8dTnCVQf5H-GA5LATULLwMJsI3e760dCCn2hAyBdG6LGgnQBGmtC6GBw8l8EuyTJOJiJGEQ_SMe8PMmTZzsMIDrUmcwKNwS1noVVZuJDyYWe6gj4S81fxxi6thxuvONEx3KcOAp1b_NqzL-0Y3ixyx68G1gT9py9fRX4pJlfUp6b-3WA3wv43xTSSTKXM2rGUPu8gH6H9ZM3tJ5Z8w6rbasZlIRKGDcADw Husband was out looking up cool Goldwing apparel and I complained that we never see cool VFR stuff, but these rock! Debating on whether I need the hoodie AND the long sleeve T.
  2. Well, what do you know? I just went out and tried it. Had to get it in just right and give an extra push to the door to get the latch to catch, but it worked! I really should hang out here more often.
  3. That's my twin! I also have the Corbin with smuggler. Seriously, though, that seat should snug up closer to the tank...are you sure it's latching down in the back?
  4. I have a medium HJC and it won't fit in either side. I will also hang mine on the mirror, but it's a Captain America and has a Sena R10 on it, so I don't leave it unattended for long. Any ideas of how to lock it on?
  5. What is the difference between the fuel gauges? I usually lose my first bar at 75-80 miles. When my last bar starts flashing (at about 170 miles), I have used about 4 gallons so I divide my trip meter miles by that and figure I have about 42.5 miles left. I've had over 200 miles on the trip meter before stopping for gas, and there were some stops out west when I was exceeding 50 mpg. I wouldn't try for 200 miles very often though! But like Skids, I like to use my trip meter as a gauge. --Hotshoe

    New Corbin Seat

    Hi CodeRed! I love my Corbin. No problem at all with wear and it heats up quickly. One thing I'll mention is that it was difficult to latch at first, but after a month it settled in and now locks down easily. And the smuggler compartment is just the right size for a few things that I carry all the time, like a kickstand cookie, my registration, a comb, bottle of water, hat or visor. Not cheap, so if you can find a good deal on a used one, I'd jump on it. I think mine was about $1000. (It looks a bit different now that I've had my bike wrapped.)
  7. Cap's on the trailer in the garage right now. Put him up a bit soon since the weather's been better than expected for November, but he and the CB1100 will be trailered down to Atlanta for Thanksgiving and then down to Florida in January, so there won't be a full hibernation this year.
  8. Today I rode my Viffer through a movie theatre! I left it in the lobby for the opening of the new Avengers movie tomorrow.

    I confess...I'm not a key fob but I've always wanted to be.
  10. VFRfix, I don't think that vinyl wrap is very expensive and I hear that it's not hard to do if you aren't using a pattern or anything you have to match. What you'll pay for is design and labor. There was a guy on this forum who did his in a carbon fiber look vinyl and it was awesome. Very stealthy! I'll try to insert the image here: Argh, it won't paste. And I don't even know how I got those images in my original post. I don't think it's that hard and our bikes don't have huge areas to cover so it's not as difficult as, say, a car would be. You clean the surface, peel off the backing and use heat and a plastic squeegee to smooth it over the plastic. I think wrapping the fading fairings on your bike would be awesome! I'll try to get that carbon fiber pic into my gallery so you can see what I mean. Remember, everywhere you see red on my bike is the original plastic. It didn't make sense to cover red with red. The carbon fiber wrap covers the entire tank though and I think that turned out great.

  12. The Captain would only ride my VFR when he wants to get there fast. He rides HDs when he wants to throw them at the enemy. You'll note that it's not a solid wrap on the tank. Everywhere you see red is the actual plastic. I have seen a thread where a guy wrapped his VFR with carbon fiber-look vinyl and his bike looked great. I think it's possible!
  13. I have been wanting to customize my bike since last summer. Thought about paint, but wrapping was quick, probably comparable in cost and I had a chance to design some of it myself (see the front fairing!) I'm loving the final look.
