Sorry, I don’t have enough for this to be a ride report. How do I move this post to another, more appropriate topic?

I’m fortunate to have been able to ride from Florida to Colorado with a friend. He’s on a Ducati ST4S. We’re heading back later this week.

Dagnabit, mine's a 6th gen...can this get moved to the correct area?

So, my bike was pretty nice for two months... :-/ I pulled into my garage today after work, and leaned the bike toward the sidestand...which I had not deployed. Major duh. Got it back up pretty quick, but it slipped a little while down so I have some new scratches, but I don't think any of the plastic cracked (wow). Feeling so dumb. I most often pull up to the closed garage door, park it on the sidestand, and then push it in after opening the door (leaving the sidestand down). Just did it different today. So, the left mirror stem broke; I'm thinking I'll just find a pair on eBay, unless someone has another suggestion. Or, is it worth trying to superglue the stem?

Thanks, I think I figured it out. Also found it's missing one of the plastic clips, but it's not in a critical place. I used short bolts for the black V-section, and longer ones on the upper portions, because it seems they have more layers to grab up there. Back on the VFR! :-)

Yes, it does, but I'm not clear as to which bolt lengths go with the A, B, and C types. The allen bolts I removed are two different lengths, and the type that is different under the head... I'm a stupe for not labeling or taking photos...

Thanks.

Great, thanks. I thought it was a replacement non-original since others are push-in-the-middle type. (...Is there a guide here somewhere for which allen bolts go in which positions...? :-/ )

Hmmm, I don't know how my post got here under Eighth generations, sorry!

I'm trying to put my fairing back on my sixth generation. A couple of the Honda plastic pop rivets have been replaced by a different kind that looks like it has a flat head screwdriver head. Anyone know how to reset that kind?

Thanks for the info, Cogswell.

The one I hit is like a piston in a cylinder about a foot tall--you pull the piston up and it stays up, and it releases to return to a bottom position once it's pulled to the top. It was old and brown; I still have it around here somewhere. You know, from what I can see, the specs between my VFR and the Hurricane are close, but the Viffer feels stronger and more solid. The seating position is less severe on the Viffer. And this bike has much better-looking and non-cracked fairings!
