Great write up. I also have an 01 that has low miles and is in similar condition. Did all the maintenance to get her where I wanted her to be including valves and she is good to go. The only thing I want to do now is get a Staintune high mount. Hopefully they will start making the new ones soon.

Congrats! I know you didn't find your old bike but I know that you'll enjoy making this one yours.

2002 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor Non-ABS 6th GEN Red 18,791k miles Clean title in hand Bone stock except Corbin seat Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Contact me via forum PM or email Email: jelorian@yahoo.com Cell Phone: 408-242-6448 (text please) $3400 Some info on the bike: I bought this bike in April 2020 with 18,200. She now has 18,791. Around the same time I also purchased a 2001 VFR 800 (5th Gen) and decided to keep the 5th GEN as I don't have room for both. Currently registered Non-Op Bike is pretty much stock except for a Corbin seat. The seat has some piping that is starting to crack but does not affect it at all. Pirelli Angel GT's with plenty of life. Front and rear brake pads have plenty of life Bike was cleaned up and garaged stored the whole time I have owned her The bike has been gone through from stem to stern and is ready for the riding season. Bike will come with 2 keys, a heavy duty Dowco bike cover and Honda service manual She turn 19 this year but still looks great and has many miles to go. Good: Work completed between 5/2020 and 11/20. In addition to the price of the bike, I've put $2000 in parts and labor in getting her back to her former glory. -new oil -new oil filter -new clutch -new clutch springs -new K&N air filter -new spark plugs -new radiator cap -new thermostat -new fork oil -new fork seals -newly painted fork tubes -new brake pads -valves adjusted <- this is the big expensive job -front and rear linked brakes flushed and bled -new FH020AA Regulator/Rectifier from roadstercycle.com -whole cooling system cleaned and flushed -panniers are in great shape but have been repainted (2 keys) Bad: I want to be as up front and honest as possible. Bike has been down on the right hand side by previous owner -scratches on lower fairings -repair and paint on upper fairings (not noticeable from 3 feet away) -scratches on the right hand mirror and bar end -bike was stored outside for part of its life as evident of some metal bits having ocean air corrosion -cracks on the bolt holes on the front fender. They have been reinforced and hold but just wanted to let you know -2 small chips on the gas tank -powder coating on the right mirror base is coming off and starting to rust underneath Test rides at your own risk with cash in my hand and a copy of your M1 endorsed license. You drop the bike you own it. Covid protocols will be observed at all times. Happy to send more detailed pics or answer any questions.

They seem like they are stainless as they are very resistant to corrosion. The stock exhaust on my 02 are in great shape.

This is the first I've heard of this. Has this really happened to some VFR's out there? OP, welcome back to VFR ownership!

Just curious. Is there something about OEM rotors that you prefer over the aftermarket?

What is NLA? No Longer Available?

OP. welcome to the forums. Looking forward to what you end up doing to your bike. It is your bike, do what you will with it. Some people will always have their opinions but I can appreciate the efforts that you are and will be going through to make this project yours. I get that there are purists that want to just leave their bikes bone stock. More power to them. Then there are those that like to tinker, to fabricate, to do what they want to THEIR own bike. Go for it and good luck!

So 13 years after this recall was made, can one still bring in an affected bike to have the recall work done? I have yet to check if mine falls in the range but I do have a 2002 non ABS model. EDIT: Entered my VIN and there is no active recall for my bike.

They are stiff for sure but once they break in they are so comfortable. One thing to note. When putting them on and zipping them up. Make sure the shorter zipper on the inner side is open/unzipped before you zip up the bigger outer zipper. Once that is zipped up, then do the shorter inner zipper. Congrats on the Daytona's! I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I do mine. Take care of them and they'll keep your feet safe for 10+ years!

+1 on the Daytona's. I'm on my 2nd pair of Road Star GTX's. Rock solid boot and comfortable enough to walk around in. I have wide feet and wear 10.5 US. I ordered Euro 45 and they were a bit roomy towards the front of my foot. I added a nice pair of insoles and the boots are perfect. So comfortable. They will need to get broken in, but after that, you will have one of the best all around boots that money can buy.

The absence of Marquez has given the others a sense of hope and right now it is anyone's championship.

I have the factory OEM side cases on my 02. For those of you that have the OEM top case, do you have any pics showing how it is mounted? Do you lose the grab handles? I'm debating trying to source one, but wasn't quite sure how it mounted to the back of the bike.

Who watched that Misano MotoGP race?! Some good racing there!
