Corbin in the US still makes them I think. They'll also recover one if you send them one in rough condition.

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.
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!

I bought from this place: https://www.ebay.com/itm/201413374648 Seems to work fine, lots of options on eBay too.

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.

Very nice bike, looks like it was taken well care of. Throttlemeister bar ends, steering damper, Wolf exhaust...it's got all the best bits for these bikes, nice find.

Tough crowd...
Aftermarket heated grips are inexpensive.
Bike looks great, ride it and enjoy!

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.

Missing my RC about now…

Bike is looking good, looks like you've got it well in hand.

Hope we all get some more seat time this year. My Multi has only seen 6K over the last 3 years.

Looks like a good start.
BTW, if you want to leave the yellow peril behind in California and not mess with importing it, I’d be happy to take it off your hands.

If someone wants a clean tank they'll probably pay $300-$400 for it, since they're unobtainable anymore. The problem is finding that person, or waiting for them to find you. So if you want it gone quick(er), $150 - $200.
I have a tank and fairing set in the classified for $700, not a single inquiry after a month.

Just checked and besides looking the same, the stampings are identical to my SP2 wheel.

It sure looks a lot like a RC51 SP2 wheel that's been powder coated or painted.

There will be a small, notched ring on the front wheel with a sensor.

I have a new 8th gen set for sale in the classifieds. 10% goes back to VFRD.
edit: no longer available as of March '24.

Unbelievable heart breaking. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends and you Duc.
I had the pleasure to meet him once, I bought his beautifully refurbished Wolf exhaust and unloaded some old plastics he wanted for track days. He was kind, low key and seemed a very genuine person. He will be missed.

Tbros and Erion made headers but they don't look like the TBros set I had. Looks like a nice set though, great price.

Think you're looking for the PLX209, don't appear to be available anymore. SWMotech had also made some Givi side racks for the 1200. Probably need to hit eBay or get creative to adapt some from another bike, I fitted the 6gen V35 racks to my '99 with a little work.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase, and a happy bday! Hope we all are still riding and enjoying at 80!

Considering a VFR... help
in Eighth Generation VFR's

Lot's of people feel the same way. 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.
