I have the MRA Vario also and love it. I am 5'10" and have the Converti-Bars elevated high. There is a marked decreased in buffeting at all speeds. I rarely change the angle of the Vario screen however, so all the hardware and German engineering is wasted. I had the VFR European touring screen but that was useless.

I really appreciated this guide. It helped me to install the kit this spring in my 2002. I have been riding my VTEC for 7 years before adding this kit, which means I was used to the factory shifting. A great and informative guide kaldek provided and the amount of detailed photos extremely helpful. My only installation glitch was that I stripped the threads of the shifter arm hole in my crankcase and necessarily learned how to Heli-coil the damage. That caused me a lot of consternation but the outcome was good. However, riding this season, I have not been impressed with the results. After the kit, I perceived I was hunting for neutral a tad more than before. Shifting is not any smoother. I never did miss a shift before, nor do I after the installation. I was hoping for snickety smooth shifting throughout the gear range, getting rid of the mid range clunk. The VFR has a great transmission, but what I was expecting cannot be obtained with this aftermarket bolt-on kit. I feel the stock transmission is as wonderful as can be expected on a mass produced vehicle. IMHO I would not recommend the time nor expense of installing this modification.

Very nice, I am sold and will order one
