house Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My VFR is feeling neglected as I have about 4 mods laying in the garage that need to happen, but I have been too lazy to do. So as I catch up, I am letting you guys pick the mod since I cannot get movitated enough to pick one. Here are your options: Mount the black swingarm Install the R&G frame sliders Paint the radiators (I know... been done to death) Paint the forks Install the Galfer break lines I think I know the outcome... but thought I wouldask for fun...

Guest Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yeah, you know what it'll be. Get that swing arm mounted! The silver swing arm is feeling like the minority around all those fine black pieces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soichiro Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just send the parts to me and I will install them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I voted for the frame sliders, they're be more useful than everything else on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer magicman Posted January 5, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2009 I voted for the frame sliders, they're be more useful than everything else on the list. I also voted sliders. But I did it because while you have your fairings off, you can paint the rads. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Polarbear Posted January 5, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2009 Although I am not sure what the best order would be, from a mechanic point of view, I voted for painting the forks. Seemed maybe less messy and more straightforward than the rest, and it may be a good way to "get back into mods". A taste of what's to come? Go get a case of cold barley soup, :huh: bottle of cognac, bottle of Chard or your favorite Merlot :biggrin: :beer: and get started!! Anyway, good luck and please post pics when done.

wera803 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I had a buddy just do the lower fork legs on his VTR a few months ago. Went with the black powdercoating. Of course this required me to completely disassemble and reassemble when the were done. He needed new springs anyways, so I did those too along with seals, etc. Turned out really good. Yes, he needs to do his swingarm as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you trying to convince me to bring the VFR up to Athens (along with beer) so that I can hold the flashlight and pass you tools while you pull my forks for powdercoating? SOLD!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawglet Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 why not just go balls deep and get into it. Get it all done, it's cold crappy weather anyway (for many of us).... Anyway, all of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Paint, paint, paint. Nice, but go with the performance mod first, that you can actually use on the street. That would be the only performance mod you mentioned, the brake lines. Then, if it's the only one you get around to it'll already be done and ready for Spring!

SOLD!! :mad: Bring it on out. What the heck, I've already got 6 bikes in the garage. What's one more?? You in a hurry for it?? Shoot, I could do the forks, swingarm, etc. for you. :rolleyes: Oh, you have a second set of wheels that need to be done still too, right? You could check out what I've done to my GSXR600 and the sound of the Scorpion exhaust too. Carbon would be better, but the SS is only $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted January 6, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think there is only one clear answer to the poll - the brake lines. It's the only 'mod' I see listed, everything else is just a 'customization'. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I would consider the frame sliders a mod; they do serve a meaningful purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
