Neat idea. Hope it works well for you.

Ha, that cover though. Sounds like a relaxing trip with some hiking likely built in
-
Huh, TIL.
-
I need one of those in my life. I could just never justify the price of $300+. Looks well installed!
-
I live in the USA!

Honda replaced my front harness under warranty free after 16 years of not doing so. It’s always worth a call to the dealer.
-
I recently installed a voltmeter too but have no idea how to read it really.
13 at idle, 13.8-14.6 at running speed. What numbers are we looking for to Be bad?

what GPS unit do you prefer? I normally use my phone, but it murders my battery.

They just don’t have good grip and throttle /bars are the main control of the Moto. Some guys like Fury grips, others use a cramp buster, et. al.
-
I have a problem with those. Your bike your choice though.

Dangit... wring VFR sorry.

Back in here again. Had to clean out the oil sight glass too. So I got that done while apart.
-

- Front Left
Rear brake
- level out and Right Push up and bleed at the..... - PCV
- (Fit Front Left Capliper back)

and then the right hand side valve opposite the battery?

Correct process
Front Brake
- Right outer
- Left outer
Rear brake
- Right Center Front <<<<
- Left Center Front <<<<
- (remove and Tilt the Front left CApiler to 15 degrees - to release any air bubbles to the PCV)
- PCV
- (Fit Front Left Capliper back)
- (remove wheel and rear caliper, move to 2 o'clock position)
- Rear Center
- Rear Outer
Okay this makes no sense <<
What is the "right center front" or "left center front?" That's not clear at all!
-
I much prefer the stock wheel. Nah to the 8 spoiler. Why did I buy a bike in November. I’m dumb lol.

Nothing and I mean nothing is as clear as those Honda OEM VFR mirrors. You can pick out a Highway Patrol from way WAY out behind you with those mirrors! I know from experience! You can tell the make and model of vehicles behind you easily too. But that’s not all. You don’t have to move your arm out of the way to see anything either. The view is not only crystal clear it is free of any obstruction. It’s the best rear view mirror for the VFR. Period. I gave up looking at something different. But that’s just me, and I do understand the desire to set your ride apart. I spent my $$ on a smoke windscreen and brighter headlights and powder coated wheels with an 8-spoke rear. You want something that goes POP!? Get an 8-spoke rear wheel! Whether it’s sitting still or spinning, an 8-spoker looks awesome.
Great... now I have to look into that also haha.
I’ll be painting the bike this winter, and the stock mirrors are pitted and worn. That’s why I considered replacing them. Maybe I’ll just sand them down and have them professionally painted. Idk.
Im doing the headlight upgrade right now. The VFR does leave room to be desired as it was designed in 2001. Insert 2015 H1 aftermarket projector technology.

I've got 4 months or so until our riding season begins again. I've got some time to look for used bike parts :).
I have money now that I shouldn't be wasting my time with crap... but nonetheless.
-
I'll keep this thread favorited. I'm going to be on the lookout for good condition used ZX-10R mirrors. I have this link favorited if the OEM ones are over $120, or are just crap quality though.

No, I made some PLA ones as tests in white in order to double check dimensions and fit etc. To me, I didn't think it was strong enough to support the mirror, vibrations, and you couldn't cut threads into it to hold the bolt. You'll see fotos somewhere in the thread.
Hmm, thats really kind of sad. The bike is too old to get a group buy worth its salt together for this.
I guess I couldn't really go wrong trying out some unique mirrors. That is why customizing exists right? But hey, different isn't always better :).
-
-
Now that we have access to 3D printers, did 100% infill PLA work fine? Or no one has tried it yet? I'm buying a makerbot soon and could test out a plastic mount if you think it might work!
-
Yeah, that was unique to the 2008-2010 ZX-10R. I just stumbled across it looking for turn signal mirrors.
I really like the GSXR mirrors (I even had a 2006 GSX-R 6000) but the guy who made the adaptable brackets stopped making them and didn't share his files :/.
The LED turn signals with the bulb inside the back of it look really nice. The VFR needs this weird 135* mirror angle though and that severely limits options. I wondered if in all these years someone found something else.
See side by side below.
-
Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I'm not disappointed. I may actually pick some up. The mounting angle is as per stock. Bolt spacing is really close, minor trimming needed (1/16" wider).
-
I wonder how these would look on the VFR. It uses a similar mounting style.

Bruh, ride the thing, don’t be like me and work on it when it’s beautiful out.
