  • The VFR1200F is unique in that it has no visible fasteners on the bodywork. Honda used automotive-style hooks and bosses to hold the fairings in place. Without a shop manual, some might find it tricky to remove the VFR's fairings. This short video will show how simple it is.

    Still using this video preparing myself everytime I strip the fairings... So grateful for your effort to upload it!

    Thank you, I've installed usb charger next to my traction control button, so your video helped me a lot. After so many years it's still helping people. THANK YOU

    I am considering buying a VFR1200F, preferably the DCT version, so I liked and favorited this one for future reference. Thanks Taylor!

    That seems pretty straightforward, thanks for the video. I'm on the fence on this exact same bike, $6k with 11k miles, seems like a steal

    Just want to thank you for uploading this. I just finished installing the crash covers on the crank case and discovered that the fairing needs to come off for it. I could have never finished the job without your video. Totally selfless act on your part to make it but I cannot appreciate it enough. Ride safe :)

  • @Huyabusa1300
    @Huyabusa1300 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely awesome! Want to add red LED's to the outer fairing, to show on the silver mid-fairing. Did you add an air horn? My horn seems to be weak, I had a Strebel horn on my PC800, might upgrade the big girl's voice.

    Yeah! That was concrete, man! Thanks for the review, but until we figure out where exactly are all the screws and "clicks", it's going to be tricky. Not easy to remove that fairing at all...

  • @shaurajones6415
    @shaurajones6415 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Taylor,
    This video was great and made it fairly easy to get the side panels off. Can you please give me some advice on the proper way to re-intall them? I'm having a hard time with the right side panel. It's the only one I took off to do an antifreeze flush. I'm trying to get the top boss on first and it is very difficult to see it to make sure it's on correctly. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    • @AllAmericanGuy01
      @AllAmericanGuy01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly hahaha. I just took off my fairings to install frame sliders and replace the halogen light bulbs with LEDs. That was the easy part. I’m having a difficult time remembering what goes where now. Give or take, I did go a tad bit further in removing other parts not shown in the video.

    amendment: the lower fairing doesn't need to come off to remove the mid cowl. Also, the little phillips screw doesn't need to be removed.

      Fireblade, any advice on getting the right side panel back on? I did an antifreeze flush and am now trying to get the top boss lined up and installed before moving to other points, but I'm not sure that I'm doing it right because it is the horror show that you mention.

    • @firebladeflow
      @firebladeflow 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@shaurajones6415 you need to install the inserts separately before. The panel goes on in its own. The screw on top can be tightened if you bend the plastic slightly outward
