I'm sure there is a mechanic out there somewhere who could give you informed advice on that topic. Maybe post that question to the board and not limit yourself to this thread? My bike is smooth as silk but the VTec does give somewhat of a kick.
Heh - I picked up the bike with the new lowering kit on. Fabulous! Wow! What a ride! I love this bike!
Happy trails.

Oh were GREAT!! I bought her a month ago.My poor girl had a terrible past owner who didnt pay his debt on her so the bank took her back.When they snatched her from him the wheel lock was on..strapped her up and jerked her onto the tow rig..Her entire right side needed repair. So took her apart gave her a complete overhaul...new paint,fluids,headlights,tires,rear tailight, dark smoke double bubble screen and a detail thats got her smiling again!! Got her back on the road Friday went for a small ride and took her for a 200 mile ride yesterday!!! SHES AWESOME!!

Hi ladies, I was wondering what type of boots you are wearing? I have two pairs of thick "harley" boots. Not too comfy walking any distance. Any help would be great.

Boots

Hey BadKitty,
I checked on Google & found the boots you were suggesting. I found a place
nearby that sells them & tried them on. I like them. But haven't made a purchase yet. I may go back if I don't find what I want. They were very comfy like you said.
thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, its great to have some ladies to chat with. It doesn't matter how old your bike is. As long as you ride and its a VFR!!! LOL.

How is the weather in Kansas?? Maybe we can get together on a chat night.?

Keep in touch.

Heya and thanks! The weather here is cold. Although, that doesn't stop me from riding..lol. Today it was only about 49 degrees. So, it wasn't too cold. Would love to chat. Just let me know when, I don't come around too often.

Hooray for you, Rowe on a 1983. I thought I had the oldest VFR on this site with a 1986 VFR700F2. As of January, it is old enough to vote! I got it after a long search because I wanted the white/gold model. But now I have a '96 ST1100 instead. I like to tour long days, so it fits me better. Therefore, '86 VFR is for sale!!!! I'll be putting it on ebay, but if any one is interested--- check on the classifieds. Ride safe!!! mrae

Whew! I feel better..lol. I guess that means I'm gonna have to start training my bike to vote. Congrats on the '96. I was looking for something newer, but my guy talked me into buying the '83 (which I made a mistake on my previous post.. i have an ''83. I'm not sure where the '86 came from other than I posted it in the middle of the night..lol). I must say though, I don't regret it.. it's the most comfortable bike I've been on.

Damn and I thought with my '84 VF1000F, I had the oldest one... Still congrats on your new ride. There is something about these old bikes that makes them rewarding.

Don't forget to do the oil mod upgrade, and while you're at it change the plug wires and put in stainless brake lines, it really transformed the brakes and the engine woke up a bit with some new plug wires.

If you get to stay here long enough, you might be better buying used bikes and selling when you leave??OR buy bikes and ship them home??? I don't know if prices are better here or there? I know a lot of Europeans come to US and buy a used car/van to travel/camp in and then sell when they leave. Much less $$ than renting car/ motels. I like travelling to countries like Thailand where a room can be $5. and food even less.... But no VFRs!!!
Your wrong about VFR's in Thailand they have hundreds of them! only they are all 400cc

OOOPs! Isn't that what forums are all about-- to spread misinformation.... :>)
Bobbybrit- you are right. I have looked right at them, but because they weren't white like mine, I didn't recognize them!!!
Actually I was at a rental shop in Chiang Mai yesterday looking at a CBR1000 he has for rent. Not that I wanted to rent it-- far too big for the job. However I am probably booking a Honda 400cc to ride the Mae Hong Son loop in a couple weeks. I did it 8 years ago, on a 125cc Dream!!! That was all I knew how to ride then. Now I have a Pan-European (ST1100) in Montana and we will be doing a long trip down PCHinto Mexico and across to Bike Week in Daytona this Feb/March.
Ride safe-- maren
