2003 Clutch Levers

Anyone recommend a good place to buy clutch lever set/brake lever set for a 2003 Honda VFR?

Also, anyone recommend a good place for fairings? My silver VFR got tipped over! I need a lower left fairing.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hogwash.

Sorry that these are ugly pics. These are early shots taken right after
I finished up. Sorry for the ugly electrical tape instead of the nice,
clean tie-wraps it has now and the general filthy nature of the bike
that day. I just got done installing it and I don't generally clean the
bike BEFORE I work on it.

As you can see, with the black plastic filler gone there is plenty of
room ahead of the radiator. There is about 1-1/2 clearance to the fork
at least where it comes closest to it during its swing.

These are thumbnails. Click on picture for larger view if you have the
bandwidth.

Took me about 1 hour to plan out the job and buy the materials and
another hour to do the work on the horn/bracket and another hour to
route the new wires and terminate them at the battery with fuses. While
I was at it I also ran an additional set to the top left side of the
fairing for a future power outlet for a heated vest or whatnot. (Time
not including pulling the bodywork off and putting back on which was the
major PITA of this job).

> Hogwash.

There are some differences between the the stated '94 (through '97) to
which the question originally applied, and your '98, but thanks for
showing your handiwork. If you manage some clearer pictures at some
point do send them up, or make a page about it somewhere. Include some
brief descriptions about the camera angles so people know what they're
looking at.

Also be aware, and I can't say for certain whether this will affect you
since I don't recall how the '98 plastic looks exactly, that very often
what appears to be "filler" or cosmetic pieces are actually spoilers and
are important for directing airflow to places that need it and/or
directing airflow and spray away from areas that would be problematic.

>Hogwash.

As a follow-up to my last reply, it should be noted that on a '94-'97
the area you used to install your horn is occupied by a fuse box, some
plumbing and the black plastic "intake that isn't an intake". Subbing
the horn for the intake still leaves some plumbing interference and is
begging to destroy the horn via water ingestion.

The left side is equally busy with plumbing and cosmetics.

The bad part about my idea inside the left lower is (a) heat from the
headers (easily solved with a heat shield) and the fact that any bracket
there would be a cantilevered arrangement, which if it isn't designed
suitably won't last long in such a high-vibration environment.

FWIW, leaving a wire where it can chafe on an exposed screw thread (as shown
in the photo) is not good practice and is probably asking for a short
circuit at some point. Hopefully this oversight was corrected when the zip
ties replaced the tape job.

Also FWIW, my 99 runs significantly cooler with the black plastic pieces in
place, so it appears that the engineers at Honda do actually know what they
are doing when designing a bike and the airflow management for it.

Yup. Like I said. This was a mock-up job to test the feasibility of the
system. I R an electri-can and do be making many wiring
harnesessifications in the years. This is a teeny-tiny control job
compared to some of the automated plants I've wired. Plus, that is good
THHN wire there and is fused at 15A (holds for a 30 second blast on
test) although that aluminum frame spar isn't physically grounded to the
chassis in any spot so the first "short" would be FREE.

As far as the engine cooling/heat: It's been a non-issue. I'm surprised
at how little the bike needs to run the radiator fan even in Chicago
traffic. Sometimes I get stuck for an hour on the Kennedy and the Edens
only barely moving enough to not have to put my foot down. I keep an
eye on the temp but it's not ever got over 210 and usually is under 200
(way under when under way). I think it IS hogwash myself. My '86 ran
much hotter than the '98 does and the bodywork on that was quite spartan
in comparison. I think that having the radiator up front is actually
worse for airflow than the side-mounted ones regardless of the goofy
black plastic junk honda put up in there.

What's "the 405"? I've heard of I-405 or Interstate 405 but never "the
405".

sorry little rant about So Calers.
