Does anyone know if the SW-Motech toprack will work with this set up? Maybe I'll have to go with the GIVI toprack instead?

I dumped my bike today doing under 10kmh due to stupidity and had the bike fall on its right hand side.

From what I can see : Exhaust scrapped, engine scrapped of paint, 1 piece of plastic chipped up but still holding strong, rad fluid leaked out, but no leak after righting the bike.

another issue is that my right handle bar has pushed up the dot4 fuel holder and my mirror (which I can fix)

But now my BIKE WONT START!!! it turns over and has almost caught and turned on but It wont work.

What do I need to do? its a 85 interceptor vf 750 f

I went to Cycle Gear and purchased the model CC3 for about 23.00 with tax and it fit perfectly. Did not have to grind the lever or anything like that. I've seen some who have had to grind the lever because it would make contact with the gas tank when the handlebars are turned all the way to the right. I've seen other posts that said to buy the one made for the Yamaha to avoid this problem. Did not have this problem with the NEP made for Honda. It took about 5 minutes to install and adjust. I took it for 100 mile test ride and it works absolutely perfect. 20.00 well spent IMHO.

Handle bars turned fully to the right. Still a 1/4 - 1/2" clearance.

This accident personally hit home with "neighbors" involved. My girlfriend knew 4 of the 5 people who did not survive this horrific wreck.

5 counts of vehicular Homicide have been issued for this Taxi driver.

This section gave me the chills...

Quote:
In fact, just minutes before the fatal crash a passenger in Moore's van demanded to be let out after becoming afraid for his life, according to the criminal complaint. The passenger, Saul Brito, described Moore's driving to police as "crazy" and said the cabby was swerving into oncoming traffic and striking road signs as his speed topped 90 to 100 mph.

About a minute after Moore let Brito out of the van, at Manheim Pike and Quarry Road, Brito reported hearing a "very loud crash." The van had crashed into the motorcyclists about one mile away.

"The motorcycle is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
It maketh me burnout on black pavements;
It leadeth me beside busy freeways;
It restoreth my soul;
It leads me in the path of quickness for its names sake.
Yea I walk through the valley of rice, I shall fear no turbo, for Torque art with me;
Thy clutch and thy throttle they comfort me.
Thou preparest a Track for me
in the presense of mine enemies;
Thou hast anointed my engine with oil;
My bike overpowers.
Surely traction and victory shall follow me,
All the days of my life,
And I shall dwell in the house of the CC's, Forever.
Amen" ]]> General VFR Discussions nbogert http://vfrworld.com/forums/general-vfr-discussions/32273-motorcycle-prayers.html <![CDATA[Reg Pridmore's CLASS Mororcycle School signs new sponsorship with Honda Motors.]]> http://vfrworld.com/forums/general-vfr-discussions/32269-reg-pridmores-class-mororcycle-school-signs-new-sponsorship-honda-motors.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:04:36 GMT Just got this in an email from Reg Pridmore’s CLASS Motorcycle School.

It was a pretty good experience. Thought the inclusion of the VFR1200 was interesting.

Dave :cool:

Reg Pridmore’s CLASS Motorcycle School announces a new partnership with Honda.

For immediate release: Santa Paula, CA 31 Aug, 2010. It is with great pleasure Reg Pridmore’s CLASS Motorcycle Schools announces it has renewed it’s partnership with Honda Riders Club of America. Beginning this week, Reg will be taking delivery of the new VFR1200 sport touring bike and the new CBR600RR with C-ABS. "We enjoyed a great relationship with Honda for nearly 14 years" explains Reg. I believe in Honda and for the past 2 years have continued to ride Hondas, even without official support. I am very happy to have them back onboard as a CLASS sponsor". And about his new track bike Reg added “I’m very pleased to be back on the latest VFR, in this case the 1200. Because of my longtime experience with the Hondas I know this is a fantastic sport touring bike and I feel certain it will be an excellent track bike - with or without a passenger.” At a reported 130hp and shaft drive, this motorcycle promises to be an awesome powerhouse with a super comfortable ride. But you can bet we’ll still have our favorite razor sharp weapon out there too - the CBR600RR, this time with C-ABS!

Guys
bought this fairing kit from a the blokes at fairingkitz.com.. cost was around 400 uk .... rating the kit quality of plastic 8/10 design of kit compared with oem 6/10 accuracy and fitting of kit 3/10 service and delivery( 6 weeks) 7/10 overall 6-7/10 the quality of the plastic is good as is the paint, the finish and hole size and alignment could be better, most of the holes needed to be enlarged or re drilled. it took my talented mechanics around 7 hours to amend and fit the kit, so for those who have workshops at home and like to tinker it will be a good project. i do just recommend them ,as it is relatively cheap compared to oem fairings or a respray, the scheme itself comes from a 600rr design and the guys just amended it for my vfr 2007... the kit is 5 pieces, tail unit, side panels, nose fairing and front mudguard ( which doesnt fit) i am using them as i have some damage on orginals ( a couple of low sides and slides) . will get orginals resprayed and will fit when i am selling the bike in 18mnths or so. hope you like the scheme , not sure about the black on the forward flanks , think they might have been better white, but you live and learn. ... hope this gives some of you food for thought or some ideas.... happy to answer questions should you have any,, fyi - have remus cans and pciii ( custom map), bike now puts out 114bhp at crank ... :cool: ]]> General VFR Discussions Gui4J http://vfrworld.com/forums/general-vfr-discussions/32266-replacement-fairing-kitz-fairingkitz-com-vfr800-2007-a.html What do you think of this possible future paint job?

Anyway, I'm getting bored with my bike's looks and I've been experimenting with Gimp in devising different color schemes and what have you.

So far this is my favorite, what do you all think? I like how it's subtle yet looks striking on an already stunning bike:
