Reminds me of this.... lol

Mega thanks, never noticed the spares tab before on that website.

BTDT and it still arrives at the same $120 or so part that I'd personally rather not spend. 🙃

Agree with Brad. I help a friend with his bike detailing business and we draw straws with these newer bikes. 30 to 45 job nearly doubles with all the nooks and crannies.

Been trying to find a Hawk spacer for a while now, just for that purpose. Ebay and such have been dry for a some time now.

Because if I go with white, I'm going to spend too much money on a 8 spoke rear. 😁 Plus a friend has white wheels on his 07 Anniversary. He did paint the front fender the same red as the accent stripe which looks good IMO.

I got these for my son when he moved from NC to CO. Was hard not to buy them at basically $100 each. Then got me the Kobalt set as spares for myself. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-KBLT-297PC-MECH-TOOL-SET-3-drive-set-SAE-MM/5015031681 https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-159PC-Mechanics-Tool-Set/5014463527 This one pops up also for the Craftsman box... https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-VERSASTACK-Mechanics-Tool-Set/5014463547 Past few weeks I hit some yard sales looking for home gym equipment and was also able to score tons of wrenches, sockets and such for cheap.

Looking at putting the grey / silver wheels on my 07 Anniversary. Must......resist.....white wheels.... Going to do annual coolant flush, brake bleed, oil and filter change stuff. Replace fork springs with proper weight spec rate and decide on a rear shock. Keeping this one so need good suspenders on it.

Want to recall even the stubby Delkevic cans had removable dB killers. Check to verify they are out and if so, shout at Delkevic about a set in inserts. I've got LeoVince slipons on my 07 and to me, they offer the best rumble and I can slip out of the neighborhood each morning without complaints.

Yup, pesky air bubbles are the enemy. One thing I do is also "burp" the lines at each banjo bolt. Especially if you had the calipers off. Also I push the brake pads back into the calipers to try and move any bubbles of air, then bleed again. And finish off with the old overnight zip tie around brake lever and handlebar method. And also overnight leverage on the brake pedal.

ABS will have ring on right front as well as sensor same side.

Not had an aftermarket one until this VFR. My FJR1300 has it stock. Will say that after riding the VFR with the gear indicator, I'll be adding to any bike that doesn't have one. Handy device for sure to keep me checking for 7th gear.

IMO, the fuel gauge is accurate. Concerning the first bar, I've noticed mine will go away between 20-30 miles. Doesn't matter if I just fill it up or pack it full.I've learned not to obsess with that first fuel bar thing and just ride I commute 140 miles daily with about 85 / 15 split of highway and backroads. Usually at 75 mph on the highway and rpms are dead on 5,000 at that speed. Go consistently in the 200-210 mile range before the last bar is flashing and typically putting in 4.5-5 gallons.

Maybe as simple as pulling one from your bike to check against?
