My experience with the Tankslapper film was similar - tho I put it on my 6th gen. I used plenty of 50/50 water/isopropyl alcohol and had a good...
I also have an '08 - I installed the HID kit from Wiremybike.com. I've been very happy with it - it's specifically designed for the VFR. I went...
Pull up Google and in the search box type "Thurn Motorsport". The hit at the top of the list is their website and at the right of the entry...
Wow, that is crispy. As long as you'll be in there, it might be worth removing the stator cover to take a look and assess the stator's health....
Seems unlikely unless the grooves are so severe that they impede the motion of the plates. If you have a machinist's straight edge or similar,...
The springs should also be checked - on a 5th gen the free height should be no less than 42.6 mm (1.68in) - standard height is 45.6mm (1.80in)....
If you go 98/99, get a set of 00/01 mirrors for it - much cleaner looking.
I have also been shopping for a new helmet. I agree with the 'support the local shop' comment above. If the local retailer wants $20 or $30 more...

You can mount the racks / handles without the rubber spacers - though in the rain water will probably get under the seat and you may not like...
Damn! That's sweet - if that extra plastic is OEM and in good condition, that's a good find. While you're at it, put an aftermarket can on it....
You probably aren't going to like my answer either - but there are some workarounds. I ran in to the same issue, though I was fortunate enough to...
Cycletrader.com would be an easy way to shop and compare prices in advance of your trip - most ads post email contact info so it's cheap and easy...
Some are now going with a Compufire R/R rather than the OEM shunt type - said to stress the stator less by shutting it down as needed rather than...
For a 4th gen, to me this thread is the gold standard for installing a Datel voltmeter. I spent considerable time trying to figure out how to...
He just posted an update today VFR clutch cover question(all gens) - how to add a window - VFR Discussion - Page 6
I paid $350 for mine about 2 years ago, with the finish needing touchup. It looks decent, but could use new powdercoat. I would be in deeper...
Let's see - he says he was riding it a month ago before he wrecked it, but does not have the title - and also that there is 'no lean on the...
One just sold on ebay 3 days ago for $375 - nice condition, but original finish with some chips and dings - looked like from a '93. Perfectly...
Exactly! The tank is so subtle it's easy to miss - something just 'looks different' but it's not obvious. That's what's so cool about that bike....
