    My 1998 VFR800 just up up and died on me yesterday

    Yup, pretty much guarantee that's a R/R issue. I see a new R/R and VFRness in your future. :)

    What size is our bike?

    My size Large fits perfectly. XL is for big cruisers, and was far too big for my father's Shadow 1100. He has the Large on his Bandit 1250 as well.

    Electrical Problem that doesn't sound like the RR

    R/Rs are not the same. 98-99 is different from the 00-01 R/R, unfortunately.
