Hi from Reading
Re: Hi from Reading
Could someone remind me of which VFR bars fit?
I thought it was just early VFR750 bars,40mm?

Re: Hi from Reading
The VTR fork legs (stanchions) are 41mm IIRC.
I think both VFR750 and VFR800 bars will work.
here's a link for you to read: viewtopic.php?p=409659

Bought it from a newish dealer in Farnborough...so could be the same oneCommando77 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 3:38 pm Thanks. BTW that wasn't from Fleet/Crookham was it? Oct 2017 I looked at a 9000 mile example in blue with a funky alarm system that had to be switched each time it cranked. Can't be the same machine?![]()

Hasn't done many miles in the last 5 years for sure.

The later VFR VTEC bars don't fit as they are 43mm

Re: Hi from Reading
Split stainless exhaust clamps arrived...cheers Mac
Lots of Plusgas over a few days, then blow torch heat.....and the front nuts came off fine![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Cut the old clamp off with a disk cutter.
Rear one is not too bad condition and hidden anyway, so I'll save that for later

Re: Hi from Reading
Good job getting them done . So many people don’t take the time and snap the studs .

Re: Hi from Reading
Cheers!
I saw your PM to me, but I can't reply by PM yet, as I don't have enough posts.
Anyway, yes go straight to battery from the RR with 12V and Ground. Put a 30A inline blade fuse in the 12V line...I use the maxi-blade type holder and fuse, as I've seen the strandard size blade fuse holders melt.
For the existing 12V / Ground bike connector that used to go to the old RR, just leave it taped up and tucked away.
No need to connect it to anything else.

Re: Hi from Reading
You need to buy the 30A maxi blade fuse separately.
Plenty on Amazon though.
