Gump Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Finally found it after months of searching. Bone stock with OEM saddle bags, minus the Pirelli Diablo tires. 7500 miles. Can't wait to ride it. Not sure I really want to mod anything. Worthwhile sliders require drilling thru the fairings and I really don't want to.

C-bus Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Love it! I so wish I had looked for one in '09 when they were clearing out the leftovers. One of my favorite bikes ever (in that exact color scheme). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Don't get sliders. They suck on the VFR by popular opinionIf the stator, R/R and one other electrical item which is escaping me are original, I would either pre emptively replace them or have the parts on handI believe the site is wiremybike that has a ton of VFR specific wiring upgrades and modifications that are well, well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh_sprint Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Can't wait to see it on the roads of NC, Tenn., Georgia and SC in June. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Love the old school paint scheme. Wish they would have included the huge round petcock knob on the tank for the 20th edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks all! Bad, Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to contact the original owner. I can't remember if he said he did any of that or not. Seems like the partial harness and R/R is the common replacement. Along with owners installing a voltage gauge.

smccrory Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Honda's RWB scheme is one of the best color combos anywhere. That is one beautiful bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nice! Great paint. Plans for the 599? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks. I'll check the wires when I change the oil and see what's going on. Apparently there's a green wire thru the blue connector that's a week spot and if the green wire comes out on both sides of the connector it's the original and if only one side, It's been modded. I guess you just make a jumper wire green to green to bypass the week point.The 599's on cycle trader and currently sleeping with the Vfr.

Hoblick Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 how much for the 599?i have a friend at work that wants a naked bike, and is looking for a 599, 919 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Beautiful! VFRs are awesome. As for the sliders, I recommend them (R&G in particular.) I had a silver one so they didn't hurt the look at all. Remember that the viffer has side mounted radiators - so if you drop it hard, you may be in for a radiator repair along with the usual paint and plastic. Just my $.02. The oem bags are also great. Enjoy it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Bad, check out the charging system, especially the stator to R/R connector. They tend to burn. - I'm a bit of a VFR charging system guru if you have any questions. The on-board voltmeter is a good idea. Edited March 8, 2015 by mello dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting on it again today . I carry full coverage and those R&G's require cutting the fairing. I just can't do it. Did you ever see the R&G 's actually work? The oem bags are also great. Enjoy it!! Edited March 8, 2015 by Gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
