The VFR police handlebar kit has transformed my VFR riding posture into a perfectly upright position. Previously, I've had clip-on risers that stretched the limits of the stock cables and hoses. While the clip-ons were an improvement over the stock Honda bars, I was still hunching forward unless I rode with one hand on the bar and the other resting on my hip. Installing this Hurricane kit makes it feel like a completely different bike. I've combined this kit with lowered foot pegs for a bit more leg room. The riding position is now Standard. If you have back pain, or are tired of hunching over you owe it to yourself to install this kit. Any fears that you're changing the look of the bike will melt away as you set out on that first ride in comfort. I now understand how the VFR800P made it to police service. The quality on all the parts in the kit is top notch and comes very well packaged. There is included documentation in Japanese, but I cannot speak to how detailed it is. But if you've got a VFR shop manual on hand, install is pretty straight forward. You're just running new hydraulic lines and throttle cables.Install tips: -Take plenty of photos of your current hose and cable routing. Archive them somewhere when done in case you ever swap back.-I installed longest hose to the clutch, medium length hose from brake master to left side caliper. Shortest hose from brake master to right side caliper. Included double banjo bolt installed at the brake master. -The left/right side controls wiring is long enough, but you will need to remove the cowl around the gauges to free the wiring from zip ties so the wiring extends out long enough.-The horn wiring on my 2000 was too short once the left control was mounted. Do not cut or modify the bike harness. Simply make yourself an extension cable with automotive wiring. Crimp on male spade terminals on one side, and female flag terminals on the horn connection end.-The windshield I chose to modify was a Givi D200S (webike product# 93931) as seen in the photo. Corners were cut off and bar lock-to-lock was tested for clearance. I then cleaned up the cut surfaces and added new edge trim meant for car doors.-The inner Honda bar weights will slide in, but the OEM bar ends do not fit properly. Something like a Throttlemeister will not fit either. Hurricane makes bar ends and balance weights that can be found in webike's catalog.-As stated in the product description, you will need the extended pull cable for fast idle on the 1998 and 1999 VFRs. This will add an extra step of pulling the air box. The bike shown is a 2000, so no fast idle pull cable. I was able to do the throttle cables without pulling the airbox, and just had the tank lifted. Side fairings were removed for duration of the install.-Be careful with brake fluid. Put plenty of paper towels down to protect painted surfaces. Wear something like nitrile gloves for your hands. Safety glasses definitely recommended as well. Follow front brake and clutch bleed procedures as found in a shop manual. I used a vacuum brake bleeder.-I think the included hex cap bolt is meant for the left side fork slider where it secures two metal brake line blocks. You will be removing the OEM "h" shaped hose assembly from the front calipers and brake master. This just leaves one remaining block to secure on the left fork slider, so the long bolt that's in there can't be used. However, I just reused the bolt from the right side slider after removing the one block it secures. It's the same length and thread pitch as the included capscrew.-Stock mirrors are still usable, but my hands are occupying the inner 1/3 of the view. I added stick on blind spot mirrors seen in the photo.-Plenty of zip ties are included, so secure up wiring, hoses, and cables as you see fit.

Fantastic kit and high quality with it Firstly huge thanks to VFRgiving from VFRworld for flagging up this kit ( check out his posts on the forum as they include a pictorial walk through also Youtube post So straight forward install ( 1999 needs the choke cable bit of a faff but just take your time ) the screen needs to be trimmed and the horn connection extended but no major issue So much more comfortable over standard ( I had VF1000f bars fitted prior which made a difference over the standard bars but this kit brings comfort to another level) Especially recommended if like me you suffer with back problems ..you will make excuses to get out on the bike at every opportunity it is that comfortable stop thinking about it and do it you won`t believe the difference View Detail

This is a top-quality kit. Perfect upright seating position. You will have to trim the windshield and your horn cables will have to be extended (not included in kit). It’s a great kit and the only prefab available that will give you an upright posture. Professional installation is recommended. View Detail
