I ended up using some on the female parts just past the slots. I let it set over night. I didn’t hear any leaks.

Put some Carbon Fiber HRC stickers on my bike.

I made this post so that all VFR people can talk about what they did that day to their bike. Anytime you head out to your garage and turn a wrench you want to tell someone who cares about it. And when people listen people learn and can help out if needed. It happens to be in Gen 8 because that’s what I own.

I know but I was putting on the new exhaust so I didn’t want to have to do that over again mid summer. I’ll sell you the old tire ?

Installed a new rear tire and exhaust since it’s easy to do both at the same time.

Here is the T30 Evo next to the original.

It is finished

Okay so I replaced my oem filter for a K&N. Pretty straight forward, took no time at all, however when I look at the parts schematic, it shows an o-ring on top and bottom of the filter. I swear I didn’t see any and if I remember right I cleaned out at least the bottom grove since I had everything apart. But the K&N and oem seem to be made so that there isn’t an o-ring invlolved. Can anyone reassure me so I don’t have to open the box back up?

Awesome, how much was that seat? Did they redo your original pan? Also how is your GPS mounted?

So I am going to install the exhaust soon. Is it necessary to use the silicon in the joints? Seems like it would get all scrapped off when you install the pipe since they are a close fit. Also that makes it a problem with taking out or installing the baffle later, not to mention it needs to be removed when removing the rear tire.

I finally got my delkevic 8” shorty in the mail today. There was no instructions but I am guessing I reuse the factory clamp by the converter, and use their silicon at both clamp locations. Then as for the DB killer I would like to try it out with and without so can I leave the silicone out while I do this? Also I doesn’t seem like there is any packing around the baffle or is there supposed to tube?

I’ll go first. Yesterday I replaced clutch and brake fluids along with a coolant change since the bike is 4 years old. I am planning on installing a K&N filter when it arrives tomorrow.

I wanted to start a post where anyone can come and say what they did to their bike. Or what they are doing, or plan to do. This can start some really good discussions, ideas. and learning. Example would be if someone works on their air filter it could remind others to check theirs.

When will mine show up!!!!! Amazon has me getting impatient haha

Okay so in order to balance the rear wheel on these bikes you need to make sure you have the correct cone to fit the drive side of the rear wheel. (If your using a static balancer). On my other bikes they are double sided swingers so I had no trouble using a amazon/harbor freight style static balancer. However looking through the forum you gents said to go with http://www.marcparnes.com/Honda_Motorcycle_Wheel_Balancer.htm. So I went to his site and since I already owned a balancer I opted to buy the $50 cone set for the bike. HOWEVER!! Marc proceeded to call me and say hey wait, since you already have universal cones all I have to do is send you the one special VFR cone and your all set. I will cut your cost in half!!! A huge shout out to Marc and his honesty and the willingness to lose out on a half a sale just to do the right thing and help me save some money!!! I wanted to let the forum know so that he can get the business he deserves. Thanks Marc, a gesture like this goes along way in my book!
