Sportier look for my VFR??
Can that be had??
of course!! I hated the stock windscreen on this bike....the wind would buffet right at my face...so, I chopped it down and my ears like it better https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif just whoring out my POS cause I'm bored https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif https://i263.photobucket.com/albums/...s-One/VFR2.jpg |

Beautiful. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
If I ever decide to stray away from the sport end of motorcycles Im definately getting the 07 red white and blue color scheme VFR. Get that thing fitted with an exhaust so you can hear that v4 howl. |
I love the newer gen viffers, but the long history of electrical grimlins scared me away - that and the price the local dealer was asking for them https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif Instead, I picked up a brand new FJR for the price they were asking for a year old VFR.

they put out a service bulletin for that electrical problem finally- after what, 5 years!!! I bought an extended warranty also just to be safe https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif...I'm still good for another couple years- has always stayed rubber side down too! |

The riding position is pretty similar to my buddies 01 F4i- but I wish the clip ons were a little lower. Superhawk clip ons fit, and are like 20mm lower, but I think they MIGHT hit the fairing at full lock http://is.rely.net/1-92-83128-l-OQ7p...WduI005zmA.gif |
Funny you mention the Superhawk clip-ons. A lot of SH owners put on VFR bars for more comfort...and end up hitting the top half of the upper fairing. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif
Looks good! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif |

And a sanding-attachment to make it cleaner. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Ah, if only blades were that light. Then I'd have a set on my car for sure. |

I :heart: Viffers https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
Paint the wheels gold or bronze, paint the stock rearsets black and it would look awesome https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif |
Re: Sportier look for my VFR?? (Starscream)
I think a dark bronze would compliment the red quite nicely http://is.rely.net/1-92-29998-l-1gbM...AmVuBW3hGg.gif

Re: Sportier look for my VFR?? (Evs-One)
Looks nice. Previous gen is still my favorite though.

Re: Sportier look for my VFR?? (Evs-One)
Powdercoat or paint the wheels gold, bronze or even black.
Get some USD forks, or powder coat your current tubes black. Powdercoat rearsets, exh heatshield and levers black. Get some new cans, I know you said it's loud already, but the stock cans don't look very sporty. Get rid of the center stand, unless you use it. Your bike already looks pretty hot though. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif |

Amazing how shaving off a few inches has changed the entire bikes appearance https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
