I agree! I did two 10-day trips this summer. One 5,000 miles and one 3,500 miles; both mainly mountain twisties (after I got out of Florida)....
Well, you are correct. However, here is what I found. The stock sixth-gen setup was great for a day trip. On the second day, my neck and...
Spke, I managed to post a photo of the complete installation in My Gallery. I'm still having trouble with the gallery posting tool, so I am...
It rains every day in Florida. Never had Power Pilots, but I can testify that Continental Road Attacks are fantastic in the rain. I also ride...
Where did all my photos go? I had about 15. I just tried to upload that photo again, but it is still not there... Anyhow, the hook-up is...
This is a tough call. I had an '03 SV1000 before getting my '05 VFR. I had no specific complaint about the VFR gearbox. Easy shifting with no...
I have the power block and grounding block from The Electrical Connection. Easy to install. Activated by relay when you switch the ignition on....
The Haynes manual (their item number ZA16855) is on page 550 of J&P Cycles Metric/Sport Bike Catalog for $23.99 that I paid for mine. Curiously,...
I know what you mean about how hot your legs can get riding slow in South Florida. Nevertheless, my '05 has never overheated. My solution was to...
My tank gets hot. The Honda ST1300 accessory tank pad and knee grips insulate my legs from the worst of it.
Big fat grips; very comfortable on long rides.
I used the RAM mount idea found here: www.sport-touring.net/mods/gps_mount/index.shtml The base is RAM part number RAM-B-231LU and RAM's...
It all comes down to where you are on the sport/touring spectrum. Both VFR and FJR can handle the twisties, but VFR is decidedly more sporty...
I have two: the factory manual ($60 from Helm) and the new Haynes manual ($24 from J&P Cycles). The Haynes is better, written from a...
I'm only 5'7" and 145 lbs. The stock bars were great for a day trip, but my neck and shoulders started to ache on the second day. Installed...
I'm 5' 7" with a 29" inseam. The Sargent seems to be slightly taller than stock on my '05. However, the shape is completely different. Sort of...
My much heavier ST1300 was a lot more susceptible to crosswinds than my VFR. Ditto my much lighter SV1000. So it isn't the VFR per se. I...
I feel the same way about the paint on my red '05. I have the Chase Harper CR2 magnetic tank bag. Very powerful magnets prevent the bag from...
Wow! Lots of questions... Grip: Just as good as stock; perhaps better. There are ridges machined into to top of the peg. I usually wear...
