  6. That looks superb! To me, the TwoBros VALE is the finest looking exhaust out there. Will your kid seat mod be facing forward or back then?

    A day spent riding and gliding

    A week or so before selling this bike, back in June of '07, just prior to relocating to Seoul, I set off from Honolulu to the Mokuleia Airfield which is out on the far eastern windward shore of O'ahu and treated myself to an acrobatic glider ride aboard a Fox glider. Trust a 5G glider ride to put a smile on your face!
  8. So, after catching a taxi home last night after my bike suddenly died [twice] this thread reads like the symptoms I experienced. Thankfully, it failed about a block from a highly regarded local bike modding shop, so I plan within the next couple of hours to printout key diagrams and quotes from this thread, then go back to the scene of the failure and push my little darling down the street to the repair shop for an assist. Before I do that, can someone tell me where the headlight fuse is located? I have a non-ABS, if that matters. Here's a fast recap of the events for you all. It's 7PM Sunday evening, I've just sprinted away from a light along the Honolulu waterfront fast approaching a great left hand sweeper, doing about 45mph when I notice a jaywalker in the center of three lanes. Fearing we're on a collision course, I give him a two beep heads up of my horn. And no sooner have I done that then the engine flat out dies. No lurches, no sputters, just engine kills switch style OFF. So there we are, him paused mid lane whilst I'm now gliding past on inertia. [karmic smackdown? you be the judge :unsure: ] Next, I roll it nto a parking lot thinking WTF is this about? At that moment, I'm thinking either it's something in the fuel line, or perhaps the kickstand relay has gone bad. Fuel guage shows two bars and I assume that's the problem. I've got gauges, every thing appears normal, the engine is turning over, but it seems as though there is little fuel getting to the engine [or is it another reason?] because it's barely firing. And then whoomp! on the *#th try it fires up and sounds fine. Still thinking the gas is bad, I head off to the nearest Shell station [less than 2 miles], fill it up, get back under way, get less than a 1/4 mile down the road and she dies again. Only this time I realize the headlights are out- both high and low. Dash lights are fine. I check the turn signals and while all are working the fronts are flashing far dimmer than the rear on either side. But, as before, the engine was firing. If anyone has some advice I'd love to take some down to the shop with me and point out to them where that fuse is that needs replacing and where the best points for the extra ground wire [or do you suggest several] would go.

    Gorgeous! Until I saw this, I thought 6th gen VFRs looked better without graphics. But this changes EVERYTHING! :warranty:
