  1. There's a hole in between the two bolts on the tank that it gets attached to with a screw/bolt.
  2. Not to be discouraging at all but I'm glad I'm not the only one who bought a VFR and is dealing with some wackadoo problems lol
  3. I just bought chinese replica fairings on ebay. Definitely just ABS plastic and definitely get the job done.
  4. Any other symptoms? Mileage? Maintenance done?
  5. Who doesn't like pie cuts on an exhaust? It looks good so far and I'm betting you know the wheel has that dent in it. I can't wait to see more tail pics.
  6. I don't have an eighth gen but I know a good looking bike when I see one. :)
  7. Side by side with my old SV ❤️ (I had an 07 in pearl vigor blue)
  8. Let's see your custom/vanity tags for your bike!
  9. You could always delegate some tasks to capable people around here instead of giving anything up completely. There are definitely other options to get some of the work off of your plate. This place is an information source for more than just people who sign up, for sure.
  10. Good question. Weird that there's a discrepancy. I'd follow the service manual too.
  11. Popups saying the site might be out to eat your family can't be trusted don't exactly instill confidence in visitors, I'm sure.
  12. I skipped the stock connenctor and wired it directly to the stator as a lot of people here have said and it's been smooth sailing since.
  13. I volunteer to mod to get rid of spam accounts if that'll help. I know Seb usually does it. I just know that when I get to work (5a EST) and hop on here, I always see the spam and start reporting lol. I'm not sure how much it'd help but I'd be willing to do that easy peasy. I only just got here a few months ago but this place has been invaluable to helping me get my new-to-me VFR sorted out.
  14. What would make it doable though? A TB doesn't sound like a lot in terms of today's storage even if moving that between servers would be a chore.
  15. I mean... you're not wrong 🤣
  16. It might be your lucky day. I'm not sure if you've seen the most recent slew of ... um... "help" available on the forums but it seems we have some new members that are dead set on making sure you can get your printer hooked up to print your flight tickets 🤣
  17. After being on here for a couple of months, I noticed some 6th gens had clear turn signals and I LOVE the look over the amber turn signals. So much that I bought a used tail light off of ebay to throw onto the bike. What I didn't see on here (initially) is what to do about the different connector on the newer tails. So if you're looking to update, you'll definitely need to order "Sumitomo part number 6189-0890" aka Sumitomo HX .040 - .090 Connector and Terminals (cycleterminal.com) from cycle terminal dot com. Step 1: order the newer style tail light and clean it up. I just used a random orbital buffer wtih some swirl and scratch remover to clean the light up. You can see buffed versus unbuffed below. Step 2: Realize the new taillights have different turn signal connectors and order the ones linked above. Step 3: Get your connector kit in the mail Step 7: The old connector can be taken apart with a connector pin removal tool. I tried to take a picture of the pin catch below. You just need to insert the pin tool from the same side the wires enter the connector. I used a screw driver to push the pins out while I had the pin remover inserted. Step 11: Add the new connector. Once you've gotten the new pins crimped on, make sure to press them into the connector until they click. That'll guarantee they won't just fall out. The little plastic piece that goes on the front of the connector to align the pins is pretty intuitive. STEP 99: Verify the lights are working and enjoy! I should have taken video instead of trying to take a pic while the lights were flashing but meh. EDIT: This was the original thread that helped me find the connector part. This was a referenced thread in there to a much more complicated way to do this.
  18. Need less placeholders and more pictures, please 🤣
  19. Being new boots, I'm hoping they just need to break in but they are chunkier than my old Sidis.
  20. 6th gen and after a quick ride on the bike to fill the tank... i reverted back to stock lol. It helped with up shifting tremendously but made downshifting a giant chore. I have a bad feeling that Sato rear sets are in my future lol. Part specific link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/350822393550
  21. Bought some cheapo ebay adjustable pegs because my new boots are too big to get under the shifter (I've been using the edge of my toe) and voila. All better with a 1" (25mm) drop... and no drop on the brake side. That side was already good lol.
  22. What is the forks are cartridge converted or whatever it is that people do LOL. It looks fantastic either way.
