  1. On a 6th gen, you can slip a fender washer or two under the upper shock mount to raise the rear and then pull the forks up to lower the front. It only takes a small change to make a big difference. I think mounts on the 8th gen are the same so it should be possible to make simple adjustments. A VFR is hard to be for riding to and in the mountains. It rides much lighter than it is and the weight makes it much more comfortable on the open road or in the wind. You can't beat the build quality of the VFR. I've had several newer Hondas and they are just not the same. They are built to last a lifetime...or two.
  2. My only guess would be less than buy the real deal. Saw one somewhere this week $65k.
  3. In case you guys haven't already seen this.
  4. Without going out to study it, this is where my mind went on this. Maybe try swapping the lower linkage from one bike to the other? Not a huge amount of work to eliminate those parts from contention.
  5. There is nothing like the build quality of a VFR. Enjoy!
  6. For anyone who might not be on that Fbook thing, most of the usual suspects are signed up and there will be a good turn out. Just don't want anyone to think this event is dead. There will be a minimum of twenty bikes there and several groups to choose from. Y'all come join us.
  7. Very nice! Welcome to the forum. Still the best motorcycle forum on the planet.

    I tried several time to change it to a link and it won't come up as a link. Cut and paste will work. Sorry, this is a no budget operation.

    Thanks. Never looked at it.

    2024 Spring Ride Official Post. We shall be holding forth from Franklin, NC once again this year. The dates are May 16-19th and lodging at the Rodeway Inn. I don’t have any special rates to speak of at the moment. Donna spoke to someone when she booked her room and they said to go ahead and book and we’ll sort any special pricing out when we arrive. There is something going on in town those dates so book A.S.A.P. I believe, and someone correct me if I’m mistaken, but I believe this is our 20th TMAC. Last year should have marked the 20th, but the cancellation of the 2020 ride negated that. Can’t wait to see y’all there! https://www.choicehotels.com/north-carolina/franklin/rodeway-inn-hotels/nc773?mc=llgoxxpx
  11. Our discounts have never been much anyway and definitely not worth risking not having a room. We have had trouble with hotels for years in Franklin due to other events and the lack of hotels in town. I'm booked! The Tigger got new suspenders last week and new rubber this week. Oil change and its ready to go.
  12. Pearl paint of any color is a tough match. It is a three stage paint. I talked to a VFR owner who's job was repairing high end Italian sports cars who happened to have a pearl yellow bike with some scratches. He said it would be easier to paint the whole bike again. I have an 07 Candy Glory Red and have been able to fill in some small scratches with a touchup brush and wet sanding. You don't see them until you are less than three feet away.
  13. Put it over the VTR pic as it is more of a VFR than the VTR was.
  14. I've used VistaPrint to do posters. I'm sure there are plenty of other online places. A lot of local places can do it now too like UPS stores.
  15. If I recall correctly, the connectors are different on the 06 ECM.
