50F High is the approximate cut-off for me whenever in the year it happens. Heated jacket and grips help to keep me warm. No rain, sleet or snow. And trailer if more than a 2-hour highway stint is involved.

Wait. Trailering is wrong?

Looks like a good crowd is gathering. I'm in. +1 P.S. Where are the donkeys?

This has been discussed here many moons ago, before 06+ remapping occurred. The consensus was that it wasn’t worth it. A lot of work for a theoretically very questionable gain. After 06, this has become moor.

Nice. Thanks for sharing! I was there is September - Took a day trip from Porto by car with wife and kids. I recall saying to myself that I should return on a bike one of these days. Beautiful country. Nice people. Hope it stopped burning!

If mr Ohm isn’t lying, I’d need a 96W resistor on each coil? Assuming that coils get 12v. That’s a lot of resistor... Will rewire the thing to relocate the fuse box and the headlight relay(s) under the seat, get it running, relocate the stock coils under the tank, get it running again, and than will get back to cops. They are mighty sexy things.

I’ll give a resistor a try. Will report back.

JZH, did you ever get it running on COPs? I got some 2016 CBR COPS from ebay with a harness for my 3rd gen build. At $35, i figured I'd give it a chance. So, the resistance of the OEM coils is 3ohm and the COPS are 1.5 ohm. I wonder if adding a 1.5 ohm resistor will do the trick? There was also a discussion of the old coils having a capacitor built in and the COPs not? Can a capacitor be spliced in as well?

Yep. Saw that. Thanks for the pointer. Believe it or not it is pretty much the only thing I could find online on VFR COPs. Except for the 1000R on the other forum.

THIS is a great idea. I will make plans to do just that. 👍

Questions: Has anyone ever done a Coil on plug setup on a 3rd gen? I can't seem to find any such project online. Also, what is the good and reasonably priced headlight and dashboard solution for a streetfighter? I see some Yamaha MT03 headlight and bracket kits selling in the neighborhood of $300, but wanted cheaper. As some of you know I had started and mostly completed a 3rd gen restoration project. The original intent was to have a ridable stock looking 3rd gen with a USD front end. Just because I could and just because I like the way a 3rd gen looks in white. Now, a couple of years later and with the bike 99% completed, my son has come of age (yeah, it may have been just a touch more than a couple of years) and wants to ride. So, I wo'n let him ride the nice white 3rd gen, because those white ferings are too beautiful and too fragile to chance it on a new rider. So, I am going to sell the plastics (because I can't seem to spell Ferrings correctly) and turn the bike into a street fighter. One of the things I want to do is to install a coil on plug setup in order to avoid having too many wires and stock 30 year old coils.

I've had Mark Panes for years and use it to balance VFR an other wheels as well. One of the better dollars spent.

Level: GOD.

I guess there is a first for everything. I’d be interested in knowing how many miles is on the chain and what is the maintenance schedule. Is it adjusted correctly? How does the countersprocket enclosure look? Any rags mixed with dirt and caked lube stuck in there?
