Right... My 07 sits for 5 months a year during winter storage. All I do is fill the tank and add some stable and cover the bike up. If anyone would have to worry about fuel lines drying up and cracking it would be those of us who have long winter storage time to deal with. How many topics are on the board for fuel line replacement work due to dried out lines? My 04 snowmobile sits even longer because ridig season for it is 3 months or less and it's problem free. My dad's 1980 CB750 custom that he has had since 1987 still has the same fuel lines on it since the day he bought it. Ethanol is not the big evil everyone makes it out to be. In most cases..... ;) The plastic fuel tank thing its a is a fault in the type of plastic used that wasn't fuel friendly, the manufactors cheaped out to save money and got bit in the rear end over it. CBRs have had plastic fuel tanks for years problem free.

Monk, there are no E10 issues or even E15 issues to worry about with your bike. The 6th gen VFR is CARB2012 compliant, and part of that certification is the ability to operate with fuels that have ethanol levels up to 15% without harming the engine or fuel system. There was talked all winter on my snowmobile forum about ethanol fuels and 2stroke engines, so I've been doing a lot of reading in to the subject already. The only thing you might see, is a small decrease in power, maybe a HP or two, and a few less miles per tank as the ethanol burns cleaner but doesn't have BTUs like good old dino based fuels. And don't go kidding yourself thinking by putting premium fuel in your tank you'll get ethanol free fuel. Search the net, you'll find that to make premium fuel they add about 6% ethanol along with other additives to boost the octane number, so even if the pump says Ethanol free, their permium will have some in it. Oh premium fuel actually produces less power than good old 87 regular does. So if your running it your stock 800 your wasting your money and robbing yourself of power. But don't take my word for read the truth for yourself. http://www.roadandtrack.com/auto-news/tech/premium-fuel-futures http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#section_3 The real reason for the push to E15 fuel is because Ethanol is an octane enhancer. This means they can mix it with lower quality less refined fuel yet still maintain the same octane levels. It's not the ethanol that is hard on your fuel system. It's the crap fuel they are mixing with it.

For sure best thing I have ever done to my 07

Great to hear, I'm putting grip heaters on before heading to T-Mac this year... Its amazing how much better rides can be with warm hands...

Cool, thanks for the info, I've been thinking about adding one, for a while now.

Looking good

You don't need to do any work on them to fit a 6th gen, other than the shim the pin, but even that is not really needed. I just installed them on my bike no issues.

I think I paid about $35 each at a HD dealer for mine, but I'm north of the board so pricing may not match up. But there are 2 difference models of these pegs, black or silver. The black ones are double the price, then silver. Here is the part number of the silver ones I picked up.
