Hi VFR owners and enthusiasts, will you please help me with my dilemma? I saved up some money to put into my VFR (Fi 01) and I have bought a few upgrades for it (future birthday gifts, you know). I wanted bars and stuff that goes along with it 😀 so I got : -LSL superbike handlebars conversion kit (+some bar weights to go with them...I want to keep the stock ones in case I want to return to original form) -Fren Tubo custom braided brake line kit (longer to be able to route them "stock" way even with higher bars) -New steering head bearings ("tapered" set from Tourmax to rid me of old sticky "balls" I've got...😁No pun intended, when I first wrote this) -New (read longer) throttle cables (from 1100 PanEuropean) to keep the cable routing original -And finally new chain and sprockets I've got several questions for people who have done similar mods or just have more experience than me, please. I can do the handlebar conversion by myself BUT I cannot do the other "supporting" mods because I lack tools and experience with them (riveter for the chain and I definetely cannot bleed empty brake lines without tools or set the bearings properly without messing up) 1) In which order should I tackle the mods? All at once, or in small portions? 2) If I give this job to a mechanic, how much should I expect to pay? (maybe I could work with him and help him? ) 3) Clutch hose was promised by supplier of the LSL kit but none arrived, when I contacted him he said it is a mistake on his web (confirmed by LSL that they do not supply the lines)... I want to do the mods with the stock line which should be possible... If I have to change the line, I will go with braided line as it has to be cheaper than OEM Honda line which costs more than 100$ here. The question is: "Are there any differences between hydraulic clutch line and brake lines/ fittings? Which fluid is used? My guess is it is hydraulic but haven't checked the manual yet. 4) Should I watch out for some specific problems?/ Should the mechanic be prepared for something? He services my friends Varadero (also linked brakes, similar year of manufacture) which he rebuild after a nasty crash from bottom up and he knows his stuff so I trust him but still... VFRs have their specific needs 5) I own the bike for a short time so I don't know much about previous service history. Should I clean the calipers even though they work fine just because the brake lines will be apart? I will definetly remember something right after I post this so thank you in advance for your help and please have patience with me. Martin

Anyone know the handlebar width of the 2014 VFR800 Deluxe? I'm going to be trailering my new one from the dealership to my home using a U-Haul motorcycle trailer, and I'm looking at Canyon Dancer bar tie-downs which come in different sizes. If you can recommend something better than the CD ties please do so.

Hi Gang, I would like taller bars, and as you probably know, the hoses and cables limit raising the bars to about an inch. I have the Heli bar setup, but I want more. After learning about the Crosstourer (not available in North America) which is very closely related, I wonder if anyone has looked at how the hoses and cables on that bike might work on the VFR. Might be a factory designed solution to raising the bars up and back to a more comfortable long range touring position. Any info would be appreciated, and if I make headway in my research, I will post it here. Thatchh

I have a set of the old-style Heli-Bars with the 2 pinch bolts per bar (as compared to the newer style with 1 pinch bolt). I checked with Heli to be sure of the torque spec - it is 12 ft lbs per bolt. Maybe this helps somebody some day!

Hey guys, I've been reading a ton of threads on here about converting to superbike or standard bike bars here. From what i've gathered, the LSL setup seems to be the best "purchase" option. I'm looking at drilling the triple tree and installing my own instead (already have bars, clamps, etc in my shop). I should be getting my extra top clamp (ebay find) toady but I have a question. The Question: Will I have to buy a longer brake/clutch line if I do this? I know it will be close but I'm curious if anyone has pulled this conversion off on the 6yh Gen without having changing out the brake/clutch lines. I know the 5th gen guys often use the 6th gen brake lines to make it work so I was wondering if the 6th gen's are already long enough. Anyone tried this? Thanks, Austin
