2002vfr800

Bought my gen 8 last September. Highly recommend putting the OEM Quick shifter on it. $278.00 from partzilla but worth every penny. Hard to explain, but to me anyway, it makes riding way more fun.

65. Bought the first Interceptor the Honda dealer in New Orleans got in in 1983, have a gen 8 now.

I saw these pics on the web and was wondering if anyone knew the make of this windshield extender thingie. I would like to try it on my gen 8. Thanks.

I've been using this stuff for about six years now. Seems to work ok, turns into a dry film after you spray it on.

Only pic I have:

I saw this photo on the internet, does anyone know the make and model of the windshield extender. Has anyone tried it and if so could give a review on it. Thanks.

I was on the fence about the quick shifter myself, the cost mainly, I finally pulled the trigger on it and am glad I did. Makes the driving experience totally different in a good way. If I had known how much better it would be I would have paid double for it. I will never have another bike without one. As Skids said in his post above "It's bloody good fun". 🙂

I used this TECHMOUNT STEERING STEM MOUNT KIT - UNIVERSAL 5-10105. It comes with a bunch of sleeves and one of them will fit in the VFR's center tube, it doesn't fit quite tight enough though so I wrapped one or two wraps of electrical tape around it and then it snugged right up.

Since bringing my new to me 2014 VFR800f home, It was dead stock with only 3,100 miles on it except for the frame sliders and the Werks exhaust. I was afraid the exhaust might be too loud but it is not at all. I added the following: Honda OEM tire hugger Progrip 719 RVGS Gel Grips Techmount cell phone mount Motopumps 1.25" bar riser blocks BLS foot peg lowering blocks and last but not least a Honda OEM quick shifter. First time I've had a bike with a quick shifter, this thing is better than sliced bread. I will never have a motorcycle without one again. I was a little reticent because of the price but it's well worth the money. I also really like the Techmount cell phone holder, most people seem to use the RAM mounts but I just didn't like they way they look. The Techmount is to me a more simple cleaner design.

Thanks for the replies I went ahead and got it yesterday so I am officially a member of the club again 🙂. Waiting for my son to wake up and help me unload it.

I have a chance to buy a 2014 VFR800 with 3,100 miles on it for $6,200.00. Is this a good deal, should I jump on it? I had a gen 6 but sold it about four years ago. I'm getting the itch again and want to try something different hence the gen 8. I really like the exhaust thats on it, it's in between the longer ones that still cover up the wheel and really short ones that look kind of funny even though they do uncover the wheel completely and you can remove the panniers, so I won't have the immediate $400.00 or so hit right off the bat (the stock exhaust is hideous). Could possibly remove that bracket and still get rid of the panniers has anyone done that and the exhaust still be rigid enough? Also how wide is a gen 8? The room I want to keep it in only has a 32 inch wide (clear opening) door, would it fit? Do the mirrors fold in? Thanks in advance.

I looked through all these posts. IMHO the Arrow Pro-Racing with the SS tip is by far the best looking one. It really makes the wheel pop and just makes the whole bike look a lot better. It's so minimalistic, sleek, and streamlined looking. I think the gradual increase in diameter is the key to it's look. Most of the other ones look like the typical big can stuck on the end of a pipe. Of course it's all very subjective, but that's the one I'd drop my money on.

I put a set of 900 Ravens on my 6th gen 800. So far I like them and much cheaper than the "name" brands.

I bought the very first Interceptor to hit the local Honda dealers showroom waaaaaaaaay back in 1983. Quit motorcycling for about twenty years, then when my son expressed an interest in the devil machines I bought him a 2004 600F4i and myself a 2002 VFR 800 to ride with him. I had forgotten how much fun it was. I'm glad he got me back into it.
