WERA910

that's 24 years old??? I swear I bought my '98 brand new just a few... uh... shoot, that was a little while back, wasn't it.

Welcome. That's a nice '00! I see Jamie Daughtery forks, braided lines, neat underseat exhaust setup. Which shock is on it?

Welcome... good that you found the bleeding regulator... Dutchy knows what he talks about on the little volt gauge.

Friend of mine just picked up a '92 VFR, and the shock is shot. I'd like to find him an affordable, rebuildable one. Penske, Fox, Ohlins, Wilbers, ect. Needing rebuild, or ready to mount, let me know what you got?

I put on Metzeler Tourance Next before my trip last week. 1500 miles and they're showing almost no wear. Seem to take a lot to break in, but I haven't been able to flog it like normal yet. Although it handles well, I'm surprised by the amount of noise. Right around 50mph it's a really noisy tire. Especially the rear . Don't notice it below 40 or above 60, so it's only there that it's strange.

A bit slow on the response... but... here they are.

I painted mine Blue, but it was an Audi color: Mugello Blue Since I bought my VFR1200, I've been thinking about selling. Hit me up off list for more info. Michael

Price, Aesthetics, durability. These bags are Aluminum with thick, solid plastic corners... I've seen photos after a crash and they held up quite well. The factory bags are plastic and painted to look aluminum.

I love them too... Ordered from a Givi dealer in Italy two weeks before my trip. Came in half an hour before we were supposed to leave. Luckily, I'd installed Givi racks a few times so it took me all of 10 minutes. The new cam system of mounting is great and the brackets are quick release leaving only two small tabs in 30 seconds. I had so much extra room using these instead of the soft bags I was about to leave with, that I ended up bringing both of our mesh jackets and several other things along also. Yesterday I went to Walmart with them empty and a shopping list. I put a 28 lb box of cat litter in one with plenty of room around it. The other had 6 pack of Mt Dew bottles, 12 pack of beer, and two bags of groceries... with plenty of room. And these are the 37 liter bags, there is a 48 liter that was 1.5" wider... Michael

Spent the last 9 days riding the X around the Ozarks and put another 1840 miles on it. It couldn't have worked better on good pavement, broken up back roads and a few small gravel roads... not likely to use it for any serious off road, but it was great on everything we saw.

I've been able to get that plate off before in situ with a pair of small needle-nose channel locks on the forward most screw. But it's a pain. I have the german tubular bar kit with ST1300 cables. I had to make a spacer to get the cables to work, as I didn't have enough adjustment to get all the slack out. So I took an M6 nut and cut a slot in the side, and put that between the cable housing and the stop on the side of the throttle body. With the spacer I can adjust the throttle slack where I like it.

I have ridden the F. I think it's a great bike, but I wanted something with completely different ergos, while still having Honda V4 character.

had an adventure picking it up... left work at 2pm friday, loaded up a friends bike I was transporting to DC and headed out by 4pm. Got into DC by 1am and ended up sleeping in the car. Dropped off the friends bike at 8am and headed to dealer in Glen Burnie Maryland. The bike wasn't prepped (as he told me was done on Friday) so me and a friend from Baltimore went to breakfast. Back at 11:30 and bike was ready to go. Finished paperwork, test rode the bike, then loaded on a trailer and started back. Got home that night around 11:20pm. Sunday came and I went for a nice Fathers Day ride. My wife decided she didn't feel like riding, so I went solo and got some time to explore the bike's handling and comfort. 319 miles total for the day, and got to ride some fun mountain roads in Georgia and Tennessee. had the tires hot to the edge when I pulled over at mile 68, this thing really handles better than I would have thought. The demo ride I did in Austin, TX just didn't do the bike justice. Michael

Judging from this particular forum, you'd think that the VFR1200x is not popular around here? Anyway, I've sold off my lovely 3rd gen and decided to add a VFR1200x to the fleet. Going to Maryland to pick it up tomorrow. Love VFRd, still have my fifth gen, hoping there would be some "X" owners here... I'll post up pictures after I pick it up... and then the farkling shall begin!
