After witnessing my brother have a nasty crash on his bike this summer due to a neglectful driver, and is still in recovery, I've decided it's time for me to call it quits to riding on 2 wheels. That being said, I'm putting my 2006 VFR800 up for sale locally, and offering all aftermarket parts up for sale. Here's what I've got in terms of aftermarket parts. If you are interested in a black 2006 vfr800, feel free to PM me as well and we can work out a fair price. I hope to add pictures in the near future. If someone is interested in parts, PM me and that may get me out to get some pictures in a more timely fashion. Two Brothers Racing Carbon Black Edition Exhaust - $500 obo Corbin Gunfighter and Lady Saddle - $500 obo - Full Leather (most have vinyl side panels, but I convinced Corbin to make one that was full leather and I was very happy with the end result) MRA Smoke Windscreen - $60 obo - stock shape Givi D217S Windscreen - $75 obo Has spoiler lip to direct airflow over the helmet. Good for long trips Givi V35NA 34 Liter Monokey Side Cases - Black w/ Red Reflector - $500 obo Givi PLXR166 - V35 Rapid Release Sideframes - $200 obo - These are the quick release sideracks that come with a special key so the rack can be easily removed when not in use. Givi 166FZ - Monorack Sidearms & M5 Monokey plate - $125 obo 2002-2009 Smoke Front Turn Signals - $15 obo Thurn Motorsport License Plate Bracket - $50 obo I'm not firm on prices, however some of these parts are now hard to come by. If you see something posted at a lower price somewhere, feel free to send me a link, and if I think it's a fair deal, I'll match or beat the price. I'm in no hurry to sell though. All items are priced w/o shipping or paypal fees. If you would like to purchase multiple items, I'd be willing to make a deal. I can also accept cryptocurrency if preferred

It was a tough install, but with two strong men helping, the seat latched. -
Hey kids, Does anyone here have any experience with the Russel seats like the day-long? I am looking to get rid of my Corbin on my Tiger, because its hard as a rock and very uncomfortable for touring and long rides. My concern with the Russel is the 'wings' on the seat, while I can imagine its supportive, I ride pretty aggressively and hang off the saddle a lot. Is this an issue with the seat or am I just imagining things? -PRB

A nice day to check out the new seat. Suffice to say, I will not be able to remove and replace this seat by myself until it's really broken in. But it looks good and with the smuggler I won't have to keep anything under the seat anyway. -

And it's heated! -

Really a decent amount of room in the smuggler. -

The smuggler is a mixed blessing. I will love having a spot for my cookie, extra (hopefully heated) gloves, a visor for walking around, a comb, a knife, a can cozy, my charger, my nano...and being able to leave the purse or tank bag at home for day rides. But, I've lost my grab bars and extra seat space for bungeeing my gym bag behind me. Guess I'll be looking for a decent backpack for karate class. -

I love the look. -

With temps in the 40s, it was a brisk ride to try out the new seat. -

First ride on the new seat was a marked improvement over the stock seat. -
On 9/11 I was out riding. I am a city fire fighter and it was actually 92f in Rochester. I figured it was a perfect day to reflect and get one last summer ride in. I rode around Canadaigua Lake, hit some smaller roads and made it into Prattsburg. I stopped to get gas. I noticed there was extra noise (rattling) from behind me. Much to my dismay....the passenger saddle went rogue and flew away! I backtracked, but went on so many new roads, I couldn't cover all of it. F%$K!!!!! When I got home I called Sargent Cycle and talked to Bob. This guy is awesome, talk about amazing customer service! He was pleasant and very knowledgable about the VFR's and my ZL1000. We chatted for at least 15min. about just plain life. The bad part was that the piece was $200+, but let's face it....I obviously didn't ensure my saddle was fully locked in and the quality is top notch. Call it a pricey life lesson. Anyhow, as I promised Bob, I sent his superiors words of praise the next day. Can you believe it, his boss responded back in 30 mins! Who does that anymore!?! I have emailed questions and comments to Arai, Tourmaster, and Scorpion...I have bruises on my head from all the times I passed out...holding my breath. I told Mark at SargentCycles that their saddles were popular on this site. In fact, I purchased my saddle from them instead of Corbin because of guys' recommendations here. By the way, the woman that first answered the phone ( can't remember her name) was just as pleasant and helpfull as Bob. I received my saddle this morning (9/17)...and they threw in a hat. It is nice to see that there companies and the people in them that still get, appreciate and practice awesome customer service. I know that saddles and comfort are personnal preference, but at least give SargentCycle a good looking at. They have far surpassed my expectations in every way......Just my two cents. Stay safe out there! Sincerely, Pyrofitr 1368( Rochester NY, 2000 5th gen.)
