    I tend to like my knee down in corners just because it makes me feel more comfortable... it's just a habit at this point. Totally unnecessary, but I feel a little weird if I don't have that third point of contact.

    Lot's of people feel the same way. :wink:  This is another forum member.

    The things the newer bikes are going to have though are the adjustable power modes, TC, WC, ABS, electronic cruise, etc. You don't sound like that is what you're after but may be a consideration.

  2. Welcome, that is a very nice looking, unmolested '99, which has been tested to be the fastest year and color of any of the VFRs. :beer:

     

    Did you swap out the yellow blinkers for clear? BTW, '00-'01 mirrors bolt right on and you can ditch those condom mirrors.

     

    Nice ride, enjoy!

    But hey, Honda still creates some cool bikes! Johann Zarco's LCR Honda bike was just revealed, and as an RC-51 rider I just love the livery. (apologies for the hijack)

     

    I'm not sure that bike is going to compete any better than the last 2 years to win the Ducati Cup, err, MotoGP title.  :cool:

    How has this been working out long term?  Is there any update on clearance issues that might have arisen?  I'm a bit nervous about trying it - the 5th gen cover is on the left, 6th gen on the right.  I thought the covers would swap, but they don't.   They're sufficiently different that I'm not sure I can sufficiently measure to be sure the flywheel won't rub on the inner cover where it tapers to the outside. 

     

    Thanks for any updates!

    Cheers

    No issues, I’ve only done a few hundred miles but seems to be just fine using the 5g cover and 6g components.

    So I’m open to ideas for a smooth top chainguard if you have them. Otherwise I may have to bend one out of aluminium or something. 

     

    How about Skidmarx? https://skidmarx.co.uk/guards-huggers?q=Brand-Honda/Models-VFR800/products-Rear+Huggers

     

    I have one on mine, it's a 2 piece design, they can make up the chain guard without the mounting holes if you don't want to use the fender - at least they were willing to do that 10 years ago when I got mine.
