Yay! My New (to me) VFR!

Well, it will be mine as soon as I go pay the balance and pick it up. Silver '03 in nice shape. I took some pics before I left it. Naturally, there's angles I wish I would have got, but she's waiting for me 200 miles away, so I'll have to make do. :smile:
Are these aftermarket bar risers in the pic? If so, what brand?



ETA:The pic is not posting. Oh, well- maybe later...

 

Welcome to the world Rich, come on in and have a seat..... this might help you in your picture posting abilities...

Thanks crusty,
Funny, when I click on the "add image" icon, it only asks me to add a URL, which I've done, like in every other forum I've posted in. I'm not offered the option of selecting an image straight from my computer, like in the instructions.

 

wow! congratulations!

 

Well c'mon allready Rich,I ain't getting any younger here.
I've been waiting since 11 o'clock this morning to see pics of that Silver 'Cepter. :doh:

Can you maybe just get out some Silver Crayons and draw us a picture or something? :lol:

BTW-Congratulations Rich.

 

Congrats on your new ride! I know I'm loving mine!

 

I'm tryin', I'm tryin':smile:
Blasted thing won't let me post an image

 

ok put your images onto photobucket or image shack which ever you prefer.... or go to the phot section here on the site and follow directions ...you can upload your ppictures to VFRW and they will be in the gallery section...... chop chop.....Stosh is getting impatient , and when he gets impatient he can't paint right....his artistic ability becomes flawed and things happen rather strangely LOL

 

LOL!!! ound:ound:ound::lol::lol::lol: Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

I damn near fell out of my chair laughing.

Sweet! Atta boy Rich. :thumbsup:

Congrats man she's purdy. :hss:

 

Crusty,
How can I go into my personal gallery and remove and replace an image?

 

Yeah, I have the same question.

 

Nice bike man, welcome.

 

Yay! indeed! Saturday I drove down from Lincoln, Ne. the the dealer in Kansas City and picked up my bike. I left the car there (to be picked up Friday) and rode back. The thing runs great! I took a longer way home which added a few miles which would have been better in the spring- the temp hovered around 46 degrees for the 250 miles, and no sun. I was thoroughly chilled by the time I got home. My winter gloves, which are fine for my 5 minute commute became little torture chambers after a few hours. At one point I stopped to stretch my legs and pulled off my gloves, My throttle hand was red and white with deep dents from the seams. One thing's for sure- something must be done about this seat. Long rides on the KLR always hurt the tailbone- the VFR seat instead hurts both legs.
I looked the bike over a little when I got home and found that the PO had apparently moved the rectifier up to the inside front right fairing. Can anyone identify the rectifier from these shots?:



I'll dig into the bike some more in the coming days.
Rich

 

Hey Rich, I could be totally off-base here but that doesn't look like the stock saddle to me??? Maybe it's just the angle of the photo, or the way the light's hitting it but it looks like either a re-foam & re-cover job or a completely non-stock (and cheap) aftermarket saddle.

 

You're right- it's a cloth covering of (I believe) the stock seat. It doesn't look bad in person, but it's really uncomfortable- as if some of the foam was replaced with rocks. I'll probably look into getting it redone with better foam.
