GadgetXX Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have read posts about putting VFR bars on a XX. My questions are as follows. 1. What make, model, year VFR bars work? 2. Will my XX Throttlemeister set fit on the VFR bars? 3. How much change is there in the bar position over stock? 4. Can I get the same results using risers?

JasonW Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 1) Honda (you asked :wink: ), VFR (again :roll: ) , 2002+ 2) I think so. They share the same part # so one might assume. On second thought, call them to verify. 414-464-6060 3) See this thread. Stock bars vs. VFR bars vs. Gilles Variobars http://bb.superblackbird.info/viewtopic.php?t=95 4) Risers (like Genmar) only fill the gap when you slide the bars up the fork tube. Total waste of money, as this can be done for free. 5) http://www.cbr1100xxforums.org/forum/search.php :wink: :poke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetXX Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 Jason If I searched for it on my own, I would not have given you a chance to give me so much shit!!! :oops: Instead of being a smart ass, get your bike done so I have another XX to ride with! :wink: Thanks for the links, Now I just need to find a set of VFR bars that are not to expensive.

Hobicus Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Check the VFR forums. If you do a google search for "VFR forum" you'll get tons of hits. I bet someone there will have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If you do a google search for "VFR forum" you'll get tons of hits. Note the key word here. :twisted: I'm hoping to have the bike together and rideable this weekend. It'll be ugly, but at this point I don't care. I'll paint after the first snowfall. That first ride next spring with all of the salt and sand still on the ground and a brand new paint job is going to be interesting, though. :shock: I'll get ahold of you after a shakedown cruise or 2 and we'll go riding. It's been almost 4 months since I've been on my 'bird so I'll be a little rusty, but I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I just picked up a pair of bars on eBay from a 2004 VFR for $31 plus S&H. They can be found 8) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDchief Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I liked the idea from the UK XX site where you can just reverse the stock bars (left to right / right to left). Looks like this might be a viable alternative. My question is; will the stock wiring, cables and hoses reach the new position of the reversed bars or with the VFR bars?

sykotek-xx Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I heard about that and looked at my bike, there are locating tabs on the bars that I don't think would fit right if you reversed them. If you can let me know because I'd like to try it. I think the only problem is the hydro lines and they can be rerouted to fit as per a post I read somewhere (here).
