Had to sell my beautiful 5th Gen recently and found the box of rare parts I never had time to instal. The big ticket items are namely rare Corbin seat (removable passenger backrest), DMr fork kit, and brake de-link kit. None of these were inexpensive, so my loss is your gain.CORBIN LADY GUNFIGHTER SEAT -- SOLD!!! -- This kit was originally $700 which is hard to believe. The leather saddle works in conjunction with the Honda seat cowl for a cool solo look or remove the seat cowl and install the handrails for two up sport touring. With the cowl removed, the saddle design accepts the Corbin removable backrest which is included in this sale. Saddle mounts to the stock internal hardware for a clean installation and is fully adjustable to provide your passenger with a tailored fit. Backrest locks in with a single bolt. SOLD!!! -- 5TH GEN BRAKE DE-LINK KIT -- SOLD!!! -- This kit allows you to convert your 5th gen linked brakes to a standard style setup by swapping VTR1000 (Super Hawk) fork lowers on the 5th gen upper fork tubes and replacing the stock brake parts with standard brakes from Honda models including CBR600 and RC51. I’ve curated nearly every part needed for this from operational, non-damaged parts ordered on eBay over the past year. The only items you will need to purchase are rear brake lines.De-Link Kit Includes:* 2003 RC51 SP2 front brake hose/lines (part num: 45125-MCF-D31) * 2003 CBR 600RR front brake master cylinder assembly (part num: 45510-MEE-006)* 2003 RC51 SP2 rear Brake calipers (part num: 45150-MCF-D32)* 2006 CBR 600F4i rear brake master cylinder assembly (part num: 43510-MBW-E12)* VTR1000 fork lower/ fork case (part num: left side 51520-MBB-003; right side 51420-MBB-003)* 5th Gen Fender mounting brackets from Mello Dude Garage -- these allow you to keep the 5th gen stock fender and mount direct to the VTR1000 lower fork legs. SOLD!!! -- DMr FORK CARTRIDGE KIT -- SOLD!!! Originally purchase for $595 a few years ago. The DMr cartridge kit offers a complete fork upgrade with the addition of having the valving preassembled - that means you do not need to have prior fork revalving experience to install it. The is new in box (NEVER installed) with detailed instructions that guide you through every step. Kit includes all new compression valving, new rebound valving, damping rods and adjustable cap assemblies. Springs are also included.According to Daugherty and folks here on VFRD, there is no other fork upgrade available on the market that offers this level of performance at this price.Kit Includes:* All new DMr BD Series compression valving* All new DMr BD Series rebound valving* Includes springs and spacers for a direct fit* New damping rods and adjustable caps* Adds external damping adjustment on models not equipped from the factory* Valving setup and spring rate configured specifically for each rider and application* Utilizes OEM cartridge tubes, no need to pay for what you don't need* All valving parts are preassembled* Includes detailed instructions for easy installation

I have a Helibars installed on my 2000, but have had some wrist issues/soreness that I think I could recifiy by adjusting the bars/sweep a bit. Problem is, I can only adjust them so far (not far enough) before the lower of the two throttle cables hits the tank on the right side. I could sure use that extra .5 of adjustment to spare my wrist a bit on longer rides. Does anyone know if the lower of the two cables is the push cable and if it's safe to remove it? I run only the pull cable on my CBR900RR and that works fine, but it's a carbureted. Not sure why a fuel injected bike requires both cables. Any easy answer there?

Hey all. Been a while since I’ve chimes in. Just wanted to confirm that I’m officially still interested in ordering one unit for my 5th Gen. cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What might look cool is a short/shaved black fly screen that is same height as devil horns. Just sayin'. Nobody's done that before either. [emoji1360] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I kinda like it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. Just bought this setup last month. Very happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good to know! Thanks!!! BTW, do you have a good source for all the replacement LEDs? Guessing the headlight required more than just a simple LED swap. I'd love to upgrade all my lights, so your post came at a perfect time.

Why not the FI light? Curious. And welcome!

Thanks. Will do a search for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry in advance is this is such a NOOB question, but after buy a donor bike specifically to salvage a Wolf system, I'm now getting to know the good and bad of having pipes under the tail of my low-mileage 5th gen. Exhaust sounds pretty damn good, but only one of the two tail pipes seem to be getting action (i.e. feeling little exhaust exiting left pipe and, after riding, only the right pipe is warm/ hot to the touch). Seems if both pipes were getting equal or some level of shared action, the system would sounds even better. Anyone know if this is standard or if there's anything I can do? I'm going to keep the system because I love the way is looks and sounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Officially made the switch. Extremely happy with everything save having to bolt the Wolf gear onto a stock CA header. [emoji52] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are correct that the Wolf is heavier than a standard single high-mount, but only by the weight of the extra exhaust can on the Wolf system. Totally agree that white should have been an option. I was always totally down with the white 3rd gen:

So today I removed the Wolf system from the 49er. I'm still deciding which color I will ultimately keep on the low mileage bike (now wearing yellow) because I DO like the red and I also understand that yellow is a bit more rare. While seeing how simple the Wolf system is, I couldn't help wondering why nobody here or on VFRW has tried replicating it (battery box/fender) for a limited run with a set of off the shelf/modern pipes. Here are both bikes together. Anyone have a preference or solid argument one paint scheme or the other? Body panels and tanks for in similar shape with the yellow panels being a tad cleaner.

+1 for me as well. Should be performance based and work with majority of slip on options straight away. Though I have a Wolf and have yet to even consider what that will mean yet. Will go measure today/tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
