    I bought my first VFR 800 about a month ago and loving it !! I use it to commute between my home in Pretoria to my place of work in Johannesburg (50km)

    I have ordered a Top Box for it, but I believe it is a b$#h to fit............is there sombody out there with detail fitting instructions?

    Welcome from Rainy, wet, cold, blowing British Columbia Canada. I am proud to be the first welcome you here and inform you that you really do not exsist unless you post up photographs. I mean anyone can "say" they bought a vfr.

    Oh. ANd a Top Box???? The lingo there must be a little different as it is many places. Just what is a Top Box. Is that a tank bag or a rear trunk bag?

    Sorry. Can't help you with that one. I have the soft bags. But give it a day or two and someone who has them will speak up. Many here are extremely good that way. This really is a great site.

    BTW. I work along side of someone who moved here from S Africa. Maybe you know him. JK

    Well it is bed time in my part of this planet. Nice ride BTW

    welcome, from the snowy, cold, flooded, dreary looking midwest United States. Enjoy the crazyness of the site all you want, as well as riding your new bike.

    Hope that you get your luggage to fit, mine came from Honda and it was a real pain to put it on.
