  1. The cop that pulled me over was soemwhat informed; he asked if my bike was a SP1...

    1st glance, w/o looking at the engine, my 1st thought would be Yamaha. For no other reason than the color (blue).

    But then the truth appears and you go WOW!!!! :goofy:

  2. I'm surprised that no one has responded to this thread especially as this problem seems common to so many V-4's.

    Euh.......... you join on the 9th, do not introduce yourself in the welcome section and expect people to jump to your aid within 24 hours from posting???

    And then "you already found it yourself on the internet"

    I -obviously- donot know you, but this is some Interesting human behavior..... :unsure:

  3. He -and the engineer that makes them- did have a good look and could see and recognize the skill in Seb making it.

    Which is a lot more than the childish sour grapes they got here on VFRD with their (different design and method) solution to the "problem".

    Their finish is smooth whereas Seb's has a -nice- weld.

    Some like blondes, some like brunettes, I like both :goofy:

  4. I've been buying stuff from Gerhard since 1997 and since I would be in his neck of the woods (somewhat), I offered to drop by so we could finally meet f2f.

    Met up with 2 guys from the German VFR forum, one off which does modify a lot and engineers stuff.

    Direct route to Lohr would be about 1 hour via the Autobahn, but instead they took me some 4 hours through the Odenwald.

    Roads are on par with the Dragon (at some points even tighter); the main difference to posted speedlimit..... 100kmh/62MPh...

    My Angel GT's were brilliant! (it rained.....0

    It's a VFR so yeah, there has to be something electric.... :goofy:

  5. I'd hazard a guess and say that you need to drill 2 holes in the existing chain guard.

    That the carbon fibre's horizontal bit (that will go on top op your chain guard (with the metal strip in between) already has 2 holes drilled.

    as I said, make sure the bolts sticking trough (top down) are long enough to grip the nut+washer underneath

    The curved metal strip will fit underneath the cf curved bit.

    Here my home made version from a messed up cf hugger with a metal chainguard...

    Or contact the seller!! :goofy:

  6. all true read the dutch forum, there have been +-10 flashes. all with same coment after... no need for discussion.nobody tells someone they MUST do the flash but if you are planning on changin something on the bike i (we all ) can tell you this is the first step!

    i did first the honda update also. it was free but it was not wurth the trip to the store...

    There are 10 on the Dutch Forum alright; 6 though are Belgian owners who bought the restricted 116HP version.

    4 are Dutch (there is no tax advantage in the NL so there is no power restricted version here); the 1st of which was done for free (I reckon to demonstrate that a full power VFR1200 benefits from a flash; which is reported to be the case)
