    I have just replaced my plugs for the first time on my bike. {99 VFR800}
    I found a dirty little secret to changing the plugs and consider this quite clever from Honda design.

    I am sure I am not the only one familiar with this, but getting plug access from the front of the fender well is easy. Are we all familiar with this method? Does everyone change plugs from the front fender under the oil cooler?
    I really got a kick out of it. The design is great Honda, thanks!

    I beg to differ my good friend, the gen 2 radiator was in a hinge at the top two mounting points to swing oot of the way for track side service. Completely worthless mind you but that was the intent of that goofy mounting on the gen 2.
