Just traded my 06 VTX1800N for a 2004 VFR A w 2300 miles. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. Went into a dealership looking for a FZ1 but spotted the VFR. I was looking to move to a lighter, more nimble, smoother bike. Over the past month I have test run a FJR 1300, ZG1400, numerous sport bikes, etc. I was very disappointed w FJR, very clunky tranny but good ergos. Concours was very smooth and quick but a lot of money and a sweltering cockpit, a real deal breaker the heat was. One ride on the VFR and I was hooked. I will need some Heli bars and a seat eventually. Can anyone recommend a seat besides Sargent? How about a touring windshield? Thanks and glad to be here. Love the V-tech. Just like my S2000.
:welcome: Congrats on the new-to-you VFR! I cant recommend anything other than the Sargent for the seat. I've owned both the Sargent and the Corbin and the Sargent IMHO is a better product. Zero Gravity makes a good double bubble or touring screen for the 2004. They are available in smoke, clear or dark smoke and some colors. Check with the dealer to make sure the wiring harness recall was completed. 2002-2005 models need to have this completed or you might run into problem in the future. Good luck with the bike, you'll love it coming from that heavy VTX!
Yep. Picked her up yesterday. Everything I thought it would be and a bit more. Put about 50 miles on last night on my long way home. I'll be putting on Helibars at the end of the week as well as a Zero Gravity touring screen. Although I must say the wind protection is quite good as is. When you view the bike it looks like all the wind would be hitting you in the wrong place but I found that it is deceptive.
