    Since purchasing my 2017 Honda VFR800F I've done a few mods to her:
    - Delkevic 225mm slip on.
    - tinted double bubble screen.
    - headlight protectors.
    - Helibar rises.
    - Spy 5000m alarm.
    - Innovv-k2.
    - Ventura rack.
    - duel USB with volt meter.
    - K&N air filter.
    - removed snorkel.
    - Kaoko throttle lock.
    - custom designed tank pad.
    - RAM mounts for phone and gopro.
    - I modified the number plate holder to make it smaller.

    Mods that I'm thinking about doing:
    - PAIR valve.
    - reflective rim tape.
    - further modification to the number plate holder.

    All in all, I'm very happy with her transformation.

    It's a good position for it, takes great clips.

    Thanks - were they easy to install? I’ve read our headlights are outrageously expensive to replace so me thinks it would be a wise investment to get those protectors.

    Yeah, piss easy. They're held on by 4 velcro tabs per protector. If you look at the pic of the front of my bike, you can see the clear velcro tabs.

    I attached the rear camera to one of the number plate bolts.

    I'm not 100% happy with its location, so I'll probably move it up to the lip above the reflector. I just didn't want to drill holes if I didn't have to.

    Thanks for lightning fast reply!!! that looks nice but where I live I need to hide the cam otherwise people will rip it off here in new york if they see cam while bike is parked on the street :( that brings me to another question as to you just modified the rear tail where license plate goes yourself or you bought some kind off rear end tidy up kit? thanks.

    That sucks that people will steal your cameras. The modified tail, I did myself. I'll post some pics for you.

    thank you for the very detailed photos will be very helpful while minimizing my rear plate holder. I am actually thinking to do what you did but where you have red reflector strip cut hole in the reflector in the center and place camera there!!! make camera inconspicuous.

    That sounds like a great place to mount it. I might look at doing the same thing.

    EE6F688D-1FA8-4CD0-8BFF-33C192AD9099.jpeg Nice set of mods. A real Eddie would have been much better.

    Looking into getting a set of innovos now after seeing you fb posts. Thanks

    You should maybe stick the dvr under the rear seat lock which would leave you loads of space.

    Cheers mate. Over the next few days I'll be doing some changes to the position of the DVR and rear camera. I'll definitely look at moving the DVR to where you suggest.
