Now have this.

I doubt I will be back, the VFR was bought to take a pillion unused to bikes.

Traded the VFR in today, time for a change. Best wishes to all, safe and happy riding.

Lads, you got screwed. Why pay a bit less for something that is not a product, just wait and pay a tad more for an actual product.

I just fitted a quick shifter over the last few days. Probably took me about 3-4 hours all in but could now do it in under an hour. Utter pain trying to get the clips out underneath the lower fairing, ended up breaking two but cheap enough to buy. Quick shifter itself is easy to fit once the fairings are off.

Argument has been done to death, it's personal choice. I'm a short arse so worry about the bike going down if a foot slips or whilst I'm moving it. As to whether they will be better or worse coming off at speed depends on a variety of factors. Sometimes they will be beneficial, sometimes detrimental. My ZX10R came off it's stand, the bobbins saved me a pile of grief and money.

They require the fairings to be cut. I had mine supplied and installed FOC as part of the deal when buying the bike, no way was I drilling the fairings.

If you want to take a pillion, yes.

Other problem with that is no pillion.

You should also take along an armoured vehicle, oh and don't forget that all important close air support.
