    Manitoba VFRs

    Yeah, beautiful country, but how long does it take a prairie boy to grow gills. It's been pretty damp every time I've rode out there, and I'm...

    How many older guys ride VFR?

    I'm 59. Started at 16. Also have a Goldwing for 2-up riding. My vfr has vf1000f bars and a Corbin seat for comfort.

    I think I need some convincing . . .

    Your hamstrings are the muscles at the back of your legs right? The quads are used for extension and the hamstrings are used to pull your legs up...

    Nice match on the paint. Did you do both bags? It looks like an exact match in the photo. How did you contact Corbin? I need a couple of locks as...

    Thanks Randy. I have one of those wheel chocks that grabs the front wheel and only requires straps from the passenger pegs to the front. Works...

    Nice bike. Once the beetle bags and seat cowl go on it will look perfect like mine :) One question. Is getting the VFR into the Avalanche an easy...

    Use 929 shock to lower VFR

    Thanks. I'm probably best to buy the shock and fit it to make sure everything is accessible before I spend the money to get it re-built.

    Seat cowl with grab rails

    5th Gen CBR929 (Jamie Daugherty) Rear Shock Upgrade

    Thanks for the info. Easy pre-load adjust is a must as I do half my riding two up. I think I will do this upgrade this winter.

    Use 929 shock to lower VFR

    The more I read about this the more I like it. If I do the shock and lower the bike say 3/4" front and rear I can move the clip-on's up 3/4 " for...
