    Being tired of mistakenly hitting the horn rather than the turn signals due to the reversed switch placement, I clocked the control position up about 20-30 degrees, putting the signal switch in the prominent position, still having access to the passing switch, horn.

    I'm sure the positioning is no big deal, but switching between this and 2 other bikes with normal switch positions leads to a lot of errant horn beeps.

     

    I'm definitely not a fan of the new horn/turn signal layout!

    Finally got the VFRD Header installed. Just finished full pair valve removal with plates, evap canister removal, DNA High Flow Air filter, Hel Performance SS brake lines with carbon fiber finish, VFRDiscussion Custom Header-ceramic coated, Dynojet with Autotuner and Attack Performance mapping, and center stand eliminator. 😉 

     

     

    Looking Good Billy Ray!!!   :D

  3. Hey SF, you da man (and Duc too)!  It took longer than we had originally anticipated but IMO it was definitely worth the wait!  As I told you in person, I very much appreciated your (and Duc's) hard work, dedication, diligence, and attention to detail - there was quite a bit of "stuff" that you had to deal with behind the scenes on these projects and I didn't envy you having to balance that load on top of everything else going on in your regular life.  I, for one, wouldn't hesitate to entrust my bike to and/or do business with you again!  Thanks for scrubbing my tires in - I'm still looking forward to riding with you (guys) some day (been super busy at work and also sick for the past week, sucks!).

  4. I got my bike back yesterday.  Hoping to take it out tomorrow or Friday.  Just wanted to say MUCHAS GRACIAS!! to SFDownhill and also to Duc2V4 for all their hard work, dedication, patience, and attention to detail.  It was a pleasure meeting and working through the process with SF and I'm looking forward to meeting up with him and Duc for a ride someday!  Crappy cell phone pic below, better pictures to follow...

    Good questions, Samuel.

    1 - we have chosen not to list the fabricator’s website or exact location because, in the past, several potential manufacturers and distributors of headers have been driven away when multiple enthusiastic VFR owners - with only the best of intentions - went around the member already in contact with the supplier, directly calling and emailing the supplier into a frustrated state of disinterest.

     

    2 - on Note a, we have discussed with Wade  the differences between 5th/6th gen headers and those for 8th gen. Because the headers will be constructed on an assembly line in jigs/fixtures that facilitate a specific confguration, production runs of 15 units will happen for one configuration at a time. Part of producing the 8th gen header will probably be making the front primaries modular so that a rear primary/collector assembly can be designed to fit all three gens - 5th/6th gen or 8th gen front primaries can then be selected depending on which gen the customer has requested headers for. Getting Wade to buy in to the viability of this project was tough. The more we demonstrated a fully developed objective with no complicating variables, the more willing he became to participate. As a result,  distilling the first production run to a single configuration that matched the sample TBR we had on hand was mandatory.

     

    3 - nope, each 5th/6th gen header will be exactly the same. Detailed specs are listed in the original post.

     

     

    Thanks for the reply/info!  Will PM you over at VFRW...

  6. Thanks for the heads up!

     

    Where in So Cal - is there a reason why the name of the shop is not listed/mentioned?  I'm assuming it's in Orange or San Diego county?

    Re: Note a - Can an 8th gen order be included in the initial group order or does he require an additional 15 orders solely for 8th gens? 

    Do the two O2 sensor locations from the 6th gen also work properly for the 8th gen?

    Also just curious, will the exhaust system differ based upon what kind of fuel management, what kind of muffler, or whether or not dyno tuning will be performed?
