Hi bmart, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion

The 750 responds VERY well to substantial ride height increase in the rear and dropping the front. Much quicker steering, not a hint of nervousness.

Ahhh the hotel rolling thoughts. I read this and think. Let’s 3d scan the bike and design the package. We can 3D print just about anything to integrate your bike. Discrete and with mm clearance. Sunshades Tint & Sound located on Research in Austin will surprise you with their amazing technology in tooling. Call them and tell them you found them here. When expertise is called on. Reach out to us for all your bike integration options. www.austinsunshades.com

I haven't ridden a Crossrunner (we no get 😠), but I have done 80K on 5th gens with Crossrunner equivalent ergonomics 🤩. I completely understand your assessment.

"It's never going to handle like a CBR600" Not sure on the 750, but my 800 beats 600's & has matched 600 club racers on track days 😎👍

I've done nearly 70k miles on my Crossrunner and though I haven't owned an 8th Gen but have test ridden one, the Mk2 Crossrunner is the best VFR800 Honda produced. IMHO of course.

It's just an aftermarket adjustable sidestand. Amazon special. I was going to return it if it was a total POS, but it has worked nicely. One of those rare worth-it impulse buys. Haha.

What is going on with the side stand in that photo - looks interesting.

Ducati and Aprilia would disagree. Even Yamaha is going to a V4 in MotoGP in ‘26.

I have doubts. Seems the market these days is fine with inline fours, and twins. We V4 fanatics are a dying breed.

It's never going to handle like a CBR600, but raising the rear, lowering the front, and using elliptical profile tires in the correct size will be a big improvement. The downside is it's getting hard to find sport tires in 170/60.

The Crossrunner was a nice machine I’d love to own. Shame it was never imported to the states.

They are all setup very stable as stock. My 800 is 2" up in the backend & 10mm down at the front & it's still very stable. Tyre profile & pressures can have a huge effect on turn in, run sporty rather than touring tyres.

FYI, some pics of my 5th gen Shift Star: Ciao, JZH

In my office. Sometimes I have to leave her at work overnight or for the weekend. She has her own spot. I should bring the swingarm stand!

Sure, offer the fetal position ergonomics superbike but I'd like to see them continue their recent years trend of stuffing new engines all across the line. Bring back the Crossrunner, let's get a new Magna, modern take on the Sabre

RVF1000RR-R for 2026 revealed!!!!!! I know this isn't that kind of headline or story... but I'll believe it when I see it. Seen this before and have been laughing at the click-bait for ~10 years. "Patent filings in the mid-2010s detailed a V4 engine for a potential literbike that could replace the CBR1000RR. While Honda has a history of V4 engines, this specific, mass-production-oriented V4 superbike never materialized."

Just saw this today. https://www.rideapart.com/news/781794/honda-new-v4-engine-patents-coming-soon/ Fingers crossed!

5th Gen switch gear, left and right side have enough slack to reach a police handlebar install. Excess is bundled under instrument panel with factory cable ties. Only wiring that needs extension should be to the horn.

Thanks. Very useful, but not necessary for me for this installation. I have a set of ConvertiBARS which offer far more adjustability to fit the riders needs than a fixed bar. All that I need to do is extend the cables, hydraulic hoses and electrical lines that do have adequate length, possibly cut the windshield and find new bar ends. I have a HEL shop in my city who will custom make any new hoses that I need. I could not find a custom cable maker close to me, so I ordered those from Webike and they are on their way. The other big advantage of ConvertiBARS is that you can lower and adjust them in a couple of minutes if you choose to do some spirited riding on a track or twisties. The only other similar product that I found is Honda ST1100 HeliBars® Horizon™ multi-axis adjustable handlebars which ocassionally come up on ebay used. The new ones were very pricey, and are now discontinued. The advantage of the ConvertiBARS is that you do not have to install any new clamps like those needed to hold a straight handlebar. Their clamps fit directly onto the forks just like clipon bars. As I live in a very cold area this project will not happen until late March or April as I do not have a heated garage. This video illustrates the ConvertiBARS adjustability, and the link below is a Motorcycle.com review https://www.motorcycle.com/products/convertibars-adjustable-handlebar-review-91178.html Honda ST1100 HeliBars® Horizon™ multi-axis adjustable handlebars https://www.helibars.com/honda-st1100-helibars-horizon-multi-axis-adjustable-handlebars/?srsltid=AfmBOoq4sxW43p0_JeMU7oFeOi2Zz1x8OaJe8Bl129_bisgLRHBJ7vF3

Any other custom projects, again Hurricane sells all parts individually. Parts that make up Police kit are shown here, you can search Webike with those part numbers. The HB7P### are the braided stainless hoses. The number following HB7P is the length of hose in centimeters.

Thanks for the advice. I did order the ones mentioned by vfrgiving, from Japan. I shall do a comparison with the ST1100 ones which I have buried somewhere in a box in my basement when they arrive. This forum never ceases to amaze me with the friendlieness and reaching out to help by members.

It is a very glitchy website and sometimes hard to search for items or even bring up your Order for review, but once you eventually place your order the Customer service communication is very good. My first order with them, but based on other peoples's experiences I am expecting no problems

I am extremely familiar with your very detailed and extremely useful thread on vfrworld, have made notes from it, and in fact sent you a message this week asking why your youtube video has disappeared. I have just this week ordered the longer throttle and choke cables from Webike, but also have an ST1100 cable which I had bought based on comments by AnikMankar and Sebspeed about it also working on the 5th Gen. The ST1100 one worked for Helibars and Superbike bars but I am not sure if it will work for anything higher than those. I should be able to compare them once my order arrives. I wish that those Knight low footpegs that you used weren't so expensive. With our weak Canadian dollar, shipping and taxes they would be C$400, which is a lot for two footpegs. Thank you for the image of the cables. A picture paints a thousand words. re "If someone needs to go further than the Police handlebar, then you've got quite the interesting project" Lots of those riders in the USA and Canada. Hint - they ride big V Twins and love to have their hands above the shoulders gripping Apehangers 😀
