I have an 03 VFR and have been following your thread. I don't have spare cash to throw at my bike but I just completed the PAIR, Flapper and Snorkel mods you posted above. Just rode around the neighborhood and am thrilled with these changes! Thanks for starting this thread and keeping it updated!

Not sure about your riding style, if you're in it for the trip or to tear up the mountain roads, but why not consider a sports touring - VFR, BMW F-800..if you pick up one with integrated luggage it will be a nice bonus for the trip..also depending on your posture it may help with comfort...

Thanks for the advice. I have already emailed STG, but I expect I'll just have to suck it up, lesson learned, and enjoy my purchase - still a deal but not as sweet as originally thought!

ok I see what happened...STG put the 'value for duty' as $309.95....on the duty form that value is $304.92, which is responsible for the $39.64 in taxes (13%). Why wouldn't they put the sale price as the value???

I got mine today. I got dinged for taxes($39.64...whatever) and 'handling fees - $8.50'. WTF are handling fees? And $39.64 is not 13% of $124.50 so i don't know how they arrived at that! All told with shippng and taxes it was still under $200 which is less than I've seen around here before...

Been through that! Next day I bought a bottle of windex and paper towels and hooked it up to my luggage where I could quickly pull over and clean the shield when necessary..

I wasn't going to order because they were only showing s/m/l sizes for the RED that I want, but today I checked and there was an XL and XXL available...so I think they adjust it daily. If you do order, don't do it online - it will charge you $35 shipping and also list $10 for 'Fedex Ground'. I...

I'm pretty sure I tried one on at GP Bikes last week but I don't remember the size and how it felt...it was before this deal so I didn't scrutinize it enough. GP was closed today so I popped by Royal Distributing down the road. They didn't have the 1000 but had the 900 and 400 in a few...

Did my own oil change on a bike for the first time in my life. Felt good! Went for a ride after to see how she felt..

So far so good, I have no hair up top so I don't heat up so badly!

Thinking of pulling the trigger on this deal: http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=11626 Reviews I've read online are mixed, but I find you have to take online reviews with a grain of salt... My riding style is touring / communiting - VFR800, sit more upright than tucked. Just...

I'm selling a GIVI FZ529 topcase rack to an interested party this week and it doesn't come with mounting hardware to mount the rack to the bike. I already disclosed this of course, but I am trying to help find the right bolts etc. This is the specific rack...

Found them at GP Bikes. Series 2.

Does anyone know a dealer in the GTA who carries the evoline series 2 or 3? I know most dealers can order them but I need to try one on and play around with the moving parts. I tried this helmet on at the Dec. show at the Yamaha booth, but it was a rushed experience...

I'm 5'4" and ride a 2003 VFR. When I picked it up I was all worried about the height and went and got some boots with thick soles at pay less the night before! I was researching things like lowering links and modified seats to lower it, but I since got used to it and don't even bother with the...

35 north to Haliburton HW 21 in Haliburton - my company does a winter getaway there and I always wanted to try the last part, HW 21 on the bike. Nice sweeping bends and hills, little traffic. Had to get back for my nephews birthday party so turned around and headed back, but cut across Mongk...

Not happy with sound my chain is making while riding in to work today...I know its been loose and needs replacing, I was being cheap and waiting till season ends to order a new chain / sprocket set... but i want to ride this weekend and i don't want stress about my chain breaking and stranding...

My bad - the bike is located downtown Toronto east, near Queen and Broadview....

Cool thanks, I'll pass this along to my friend who has the flat...

Does anyone know of a tire guy who goes out remotely to service/ swap tires? Thanks.
