Enjoy and welcome to the family

Congrats on your milestone, Dan!

I've been following this with great interest since the very beginning: you announced your S/C intentions just as I was kicking around the idea of installing a turbo system onto my bike.

After watching your progress, researching on my own, and learning along with the others here on VFRD, I am convinced that you have created the perfect force-fed system for our bikes, with all the benefits of a turbo (efficiency), but with easier packaging and oiling system.

I've expressed my interest before in a 6th gen kit, and I am still a future buyer of such a kit, after it becomes available.

I agree, the 6th gen kit is probably going to end up selling more in the end, but there are a LOT of 5th gen bikes around yet!

I've already gotten the nod OK from the "boss", and that's most of the battle, isn't it?

Can't wait to see the 6th gen! :wheel:

Dawg, If you help me install mine. I will help you when your 6gen one is ready.

THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I need me one of those for sure. But how is going to be at higher elevations? Maybe you should come to the Denver/Dillion meet in Aug to show us and test it's performance at the higher elevations.

Didn't you know? The beautiful thing this FI is that it does not suffer altitude losses like NA applications. Sure, you may lose a few hp but not enough for the butt dyno to notice. :cool:

Seriously, I don't want a new VFR (unless they shave off some serious weight and still keep sport + tourability) . I want my Torocharged 6th Gen. :ohmy:

Edit: I have no affiliation with Toro or his company. I am just very excited about seeing this fine piece of work mounted to my VFR. :ohmy:

Thats what I thought but wanted to make sure. I still think he should come out for the Dillion meet in Colorado in aug and show it off. :goofy:

You've most definately found a great way to drill at a very precise spot. I command you for that. Having said that, I would go the Lady White Lightning way before I do that. I really don't like the edge around the wholes.

What is the "lady white lightning" ?

I haven't touched the holes to clean them up at all. THe holes are very clean, my damn camera takes really good closeups and it exaggerates the finish. THe holes are perfect, and the plastic "Strings" will easily come off.

:idea3:

Hey Ken, I am not criticising your work in any way shape or form. What you've done looks professional. I, myself, isn't that talented when it come to drilling, and I can assure you that the paint chips would more than likely be noticeable if I were to do it. For me, the only option would be this one:

Hey I really like the sliders that you dont have to cut any holes...... So which ones are those in that picture with the white VFR... Would really appreciate it, I have been in the market, but really cut into my plastics.. I dont have the heart, thanks

Ya where did you get those? they look like the best and easiest to install.
