But i could get my colour from dealer either.
And i wanted the OEM bags not the Givi ones


Now i have too learn to paint them.

Hey axel thats a great deal i paid 1100+ tax good thing your bike is black all ya need is a couple of beer (so you can paint straight) and a can of spray paint and presto you have matching bags!!

after reading some of the other posts from the canadian viffers i dont feel so bad have managed to put a few k on the bike on the odd sunny day felt good!
still weather been awfull on the west coast as well. having second thoughts about global warming feels more like global freezing

Calgary checking in. Picked up a black '02 a month ago, and just received my matching Honda bags from David Silver Spares.

I ordered the tail rack and plate and a couple of small things from David Silver a few weeks ago. I placed the order on a Thursday afternoon (in Toronto - already night time in the UK), received the conformation email with shipping cost on Friday AM, and the entire shipment was dropped at my door on the Tuesday. very impressive!

I would order from them again without hesitation. are they maybe backordered on something that is causing the delay? maybe it's the rockies <grin>.

Black bags. I'll post some pics this weekend when the snow melts and I can roll some stuff out of my very tight garage to get them on. Think it was 10 days, but I'll have to check. (Checked, it was 9 business days<but I didn't pay extra for them to come quicker, which was offered>)

How did you get black , they didnt have any black when i looked :(
and ordered them

[pm_wizard]

So... the world is white and salted and cold again today! When is this going to end and let us get on the roads consistently? The snow is supposed to repeat right through the Easter weekend.

take care everyone,

John

I was skeptical (are they REALLY the factory hard bags in '02 black???) They had me send my VIN and colour code to confirm. Sure enough, they're the correct black (not the newer flat black or metallic black). Photos soon.

COOL, but unfortunatly i reside in Québec so i won't be joining you on a ride out, well not just yet but i must admit i would like to cross canada on my viffer, and check out Vancouver i hear its good your way for bikes..

[BC-VFR]

Vancouver here. My buddy and I both have Viffers. I have also noticed a lot more of them around already this season. I would be nice to have a Viffer ride to whistler this summer.

[cobra919]

Comox on Vancouver Island. There's a couple other guys here with VFRs but they never stop long enough to talk. Must be too much fun riding!

Forecast this weekend is solid sun... be careful out there folks!

[chomper]

hey guys another vancouver viffer here count me in!! (Maple ridge area) whistler squamish ride sounds great

[bikerbimba11]

Well seems to me i'am living in the wrong place for viffers, but still proud to own one, any decent stores in Canada for parts on our VFR's i don't mind doing stuff online but its always comin from USA and costs a fortune in tax importation and stuff like that, you guys know what its like here in Quebec for tax!! its unreal, i'am originally from England and been here for 7 years, but am now finding it difficult just to get a deal on anything, any hope out there!!

I hear your pain welcome to taxation capitol of the world!! i have yet to find any deal on bike parts or gear in canada even with the import tax still seems to be cheaper out of US. I guess us canadians are well adjusted to being hosed.
