Just trying to compile a list of these "Frankenviffer" threads so I don't have to keep searching all the time...

If there is already an index, or a better way to do this, please let me know.

Excellent idea! I've had to hit the search box a few times to track down stuff I need to know for my own mods.

It's almost time for a specific FrankenViffer Forum page... waddayareckon HS?

I have some additional links and data to add but the info is on my work pc... will update on Monday.

[Veefer800Canuck]

Thanks Don, though my woefully outdated webpage is in serious need of an overhaul.

Too much damn home renos to do lately, that's what happens when you buy a 1979 vintage house.

Your site and writeups have been really helpful with my project... :thumbsup:

I third the notion of a FrankenViffer specific page. There's too much good information here to just leave scattered about.

Fourth! I think the mutant VFR's need their own space! There are only so many possible threads about voltmeters, oil, and PC3's. Where are the ones with FCR's, Durbahn parts, single-nut hubs, and other fun things? :P B)

make that 5, I was thinking it before I even read it...

Bump...this needs to be a sticky, if not in its own area within VFRD.

Can you disclose what you are upto or is it a big surprise?

[JoeAsheville]

Bump...Slammer, Baileyrock, Canuck? Anybody?

Looks like the better thing to do now woudl be to compile all information into a web page, then just link to it from the VFRD website. It wouldn't generate any traffic to VFRD once word gets out and it's spidered, which is what a VFRD located Frankenviffer web page would do, but hey...looks like the mods just don't have any interest in a Frankenviffer specific forum.

great idea ,we have some great guys with some great bikes ,and and great wealth of info.

[lorenzo]

Bit by bit I hope to have another bike to be adding to this index. I've just bought a '98 800 that's seen better days, and probably the side of a car too. MotoGP bikes are now 800 v4's, so why do make a little replica i thought...

Moto GP replica??? SWEET!!! Keep us posted!!!

Frankenviffer update:

1. 3rd gen frankenviffer. Ducati ST3 clip-ons on my 3rd gen with 2000 R1 forks (50mm). All set to take to dealer for carb cleaning (I know, wussed out) and inspection. Wanted to make sure everything was tight in case a ham handed tow truck operator did something stupid, and went to tighten the allen bolts on the clip-on brackets and "SNAP", right across the mount. Oh well, always wanted Convertibars anyway. Still using RC51 upper triple, no need for 954/929 upper.

2. RC211V replica. VF1000R motor in a 97 VFR frame. Dropped frame over motor. Motor mount on the rear bottom lines up, but motor in 1/2" wider than frame, but lots of material on frame for a little custom fitting. Looks like rear motor mount will line up too. Front one looks like it will take a little wing mount to reach lower frame mount, but all in all, very promising. All the other parts (less fairing, yet) here for rough assembly. Looks almost stock.

All the news that's fit to print. No pics yet, but soon. I appear good to finish one bike and mod one bike a year, at this rate.

Larry, did you ever see "The Gimp"?

[vfrrider]

Yes, I saw the Gimp years ago, but he put that motor in a 86? frame. He said it was relatively bolt up. I think it still will be, but adding the RC211V bodywork will require a few "engineering" mods.

RC51 front end down to wheel.

Probably 954 clipons.

Probably CBR1000RR radiator. I have the VF1000R ones, but they are 2 pieces and PROBABLY won't fit. Stock VF does not have a oil cooler, but block is cast for one. I will be adding one, probably from a RC51.

97 frame and 93 swingarm with 5 spoke rear wheel.

The TYGA rear tail looks like it can handle a center up can. The 2nd one will be on the right side, ala Nicky.

Looks like VFROEM did the hard work and fitted VFR400 bodywork, so I don't think the front will be real difficult. Contempleting a set of CBR1000RR gauges. Small and fully electronic. All I need is the wiring diagram for contacts.

The biggest problem I foresee, making the exhaust system. I foresee either a lot of time, or major $$$. Anyne know a tubing bender in Dallas/Ft Worth area?

Already got my painter lined up and decals are already in production for the CBR1000RR Nicky special.

So, what do you think? A Nicky Replica helmet maybe?

Sounds cool. Can't wait to see it evolve.

The Gimp used a VF750F frame. From '83-'85. It's a steel perimeter frame for sure.

The '86 used an aluminum beam type frame, so it's not that.

Sounds cool. I have a bare '91 VFR frame and swingarm, 1000R motor and 5 spoke wheel sitting in the garage. I didn't even think about it...you're more ambitious than I am! Good luck. :thumbsup:

[vfrrider]

Capn,

I only used the 97 frame because that way no cast in vents and visible shock tower. The tower is all tucked in. Means a shock compatible with a 4th gen frame. Oh, A RC51 shock from Racetech. External reservior, right length and rebuilt with a new Ohlins VFR spring. Perfect.

Very little difference otherwise.

Too many projects.

Sadly, The Gimp died in battle recently. Tim's brother aboard, IIRC, he was ok but the bike was not.

[vfrrider]

I had read that The Gimp had already 3 battle scars before, so I guess he finally met his match. Poor Gimp.

Is the gimp a person or a bike? You guys with the Frankenbikes, toiling away in the garage are nuts!
In a good way though. :thumbsup: I like the pics and results, but too much work, I'll stick to my Stockenviffer. I just wanna ride. Carry on. With pics! -_-
