Modifications (DIY and low costs)

[BlackBandit]

Water will not get in cause its protected by the frame,tank,etc.Unless you really suan.Mine went thru countless bikewashes,really bad storms when riding up north,no problem.

 

Thanks a lot dude. Guess I will leave it off for a while.

 

Was that you passing by Woodlands Ave 12 this morning?? Saw a silver Viffer and waved "Hi!"....

No worries,anytime.

 

Nope,wasn't me.This morning was washing my bike under my blk as the fav GP bikewash was not open on Sunday.

can any1 tell me about Air box flapper valve mod ?

is it like when low rpm around 1-2.5k the air filter have a flapping sound ?

[iknowuwanthislah]

I happen to park next to a Varadero 1000 and noticed that the forks and calipers are exactly the same as the VFR.

 

Hence, is the top triple clamp compatible as well? This is because the Vara uses handlebars rather than clipons and if we can use it on the VFR, we can raise the hand position.

 

I believe the TP's VFR also uses a raised handle bar and an adjustable touring screen. Are they available for public sale or only police can order?

 

Anyone has any ideas? Tks!

 

 

hi snowparang,

 

you found an alternative to raise the handles? i was comtemplating a more upright position (and, comfy) too ie like TP's vfr.
