Thanks for the info on JD. I don't really have a good spot to tear my bike down and send off parts (I live in SF and don't have my own garage) but...
What are you 5th gen guys doing with your bikes, suspension-wise? My front end is way squishy, so I figure a rebuild is in order, and I'd love to...
Thanks for the pic, RJW. I'll definitely look into that. I did end up installing the newer Givi rack with the handles, which are awesome, but...
I wear Sidi On-Road Gore-Tex boots. Not as much armor as the wannabe racer boots, but I've had two pairs and love 'em. They last forever, look...
I commute on my '00 most days - probably 80% of the time. Current commute is short - 20 minutes each way, but before that I rode it 110 miles each...
I recently took a WingRack off my '00. (sold it here) It's a decent setup, but I'd recommend the newer Givi top and side rack setup, here and...
I stopped in a restaurant with my fiancé on Old Yeller once, and the waiter kid (maybe 19-20 years old) was getting all aroused by my bike. I...

That's very slick. I currently have a black front wheel and both a stripped and a black rear. Been thinking of stripping the front too, but maybe...
Very nice. Did you strip yours or paint/powder coat 'em?
Exactly. Congrats. Sweet bike, and a hell of a deal. Regarding the wheels - you can strip that paint and have nice silver aluminum wheels....
On 880, back when I used to commute every day from Sacramento to Redwood City.
This is how you get home when the washboards of 101 bust one of the welds on your rack.
My fiance and me on a ride, she shot this from the saddle.
Back in the olden days.
My 2000 VFR800 somewhere in San Francisco.
Sorry, that might not have been clear. I always ride with the topcase on. She likes it as a backrest. But when we're riding in the twisties,...
I recently mounted a Givi Wingrack on my '00 VFR800. I had a Givi top case-only rack, which was pretty cool but one of the welds busted, and I...
You're most welcome.
