Looks great - exactly what I was envinsioning. Hadn't thought of making a custom bracket/light. Thanks for the details and pics!

Maybe my search skills stink, but I didn't find any posts about how to shorten the rear fender on my 5th gen. Looks like I could cut it carefully and move the light/plate up, but not sure. Any suggestions? I'm not looking to spend $150 on a fender eliminator, but I'd like to tighten it up a bit.

Many thanks! I'll download the manual. I've found that the air temp reading has been accurate since I got the bike....until lately. Last night I know the temp was in the mid 60's but the air temp reading said 72 degrees. I thought I'd check it's location before I determined if I need a replacement.

Where the heck is the sensor located on a 5th gen?

I may need to test out a newer 600 or 1000. Then again, maybe I better not so I won't know what I'm missing!

Just a question from someone who hasn't ridden a 600 or 1000cc sportbike. Are the pure sportbikes really that much faster overall than the VFR? From the specs I see, I would assume the VFR is about as fast 0-60 (if you're not counting tenths of seconds). But beyond that I'd assume that's where the pure sportbike would pull away from the VFR. Is that accurate?

I have a centerstand but find that I only use it for washing the bike and doing chain maintenance. Rarely ever use it when I'm out someplace. If I had a separate stand in the shop I could see removing the centerstand without issue.

Nice bike - I've got a yellow VFR as well. If you were so inclined, I'd be glad to make you an offer for that yellow rear seat cowl.

Thanks - I did miss that. I'll give them a buzz.

Gents - thanks for the international offers! The shipping looks ridiculously expensive, however. Must keep searching.....

Anyone have a seat cowl in yellow for a 2k 5th gen they're willing to part with?

Nice ride! Where did you get the rim tape? And how do you like the tank bag? I wasn't sure if a tank bag would be super handy or just in the way.

Love the yellow bikes, gents. And VFR Newbie, are there any downsides to the rearsets as far as comfort?

If I did this right, here's a pic of me on my bike last week. It was 95 degrees but still had a blast. Just thought I'd share a VFR in the fastest color.
