SEBSPEED Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 It may be time for me to follow in Marty's footsteps as well. Just picked up a '96 that has no bodywork, and still have my F4i track plastic in the upstairs of my garage... :wheel: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglasthecook Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 How do you like the Vaypor gauges? Were they hard to wire in and get working? There were a few here that tried to install the Koso gauges(I was also going to attempt this), but went with CBR 1000RR Gauges instead.

There were a few here that tried to install the Koso gauges(I was also going to attempt this), but went with CBR 1000RR Gauges instead. The Veypor is stupid silly easy to install and wire up. calibration takes a couple trips down the street while pushing buttons, but nothing major. It is extremely lightweight...I think it saved me about 5 1/2 pounds of weight and that is on the very top of the bike. Shaving the 65 pounds off the bike transformed it into a great handling bike, doesn't even feel like a VFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobie1dog Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 WOW! :laugh: NIIIICE! Seriously inspirational job you have done there. Did you have do do anything special to use the Dzus fastners like installing new Dzus rails? did you have to buy rails for them? The race bodywork kit has the holes already in it for the Dzus fasteners, so all you have to do is rivet the fasteners into the bodywork, and WALLAH....done.

Guest Electrodynamic Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I can take more videos of the exhaust once I get the bike back. I'm getting new fork springs, fork oil, chain, sprockets, and tires (Pilot Power in the rear and Pilot Power 2ct up front) installed this week. :cheerleader: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slowjoe64 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sounds very tasty, wish it were longer & outdoors! :cool: Ask and you shall receive! Nice job. The thing I will probably go for is the F4i seat on a 94 frame I have. I have a Yosh pipe on my running 92 that sounds very close to the Micron.

Guest rc36Honda Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I seriously admire the dedication and the workmanship that has gone into this project, but I have to ask myself, why? Why would you want to junk the very distinctive and attractive 4th Gen bodywork and turn the bike into one that looks like every other sportsbike on the road? To me, it just doesn't make sense.

I can certainly understand that having had to source some bodywork recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Electrodynamic Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) I seriously admire the dedication and the workmanship that has gone into this project, but I have to ask myself, why? Why would you want to junk the very distinctive and attractive 4th Gen bodywork and turn the bike into one that looks like every other sportsbike on the road? To me, it just doesn't make sense. We didn't buy the bike wrecked. The bike was perfect and had 6k miles on it when my dad purchased it. At one point or another we both laid the bike down on the same side, so after a while we started sourcing body panels for it. And while sourcing panels, we decided to get rid of all that weight and transform the look of the bike too. The weight reduction idea started with the all-in-one gauge and it exploded from there. In the end we took off close to 70 lbs from stock trim (most of it was reduced up top, which makes a huge improvement in the handling). I also don't think it looks like "every other sportsbike" either. Single sided swingarm, hidden lights, solid paint job, and lets not forget the sound! :) It handles great and sounds like no other sports bike out there.
