AndreasH Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 The first picture there, from the side...it looks like the front wheel is all but a couple of mm away from the lower part of the fairing..does it touch it? No, it is not as close as it looks. There is about an inch of distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted May 12, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 12, 2015 One inch more is always a good thing no? and yes, "Nordics" love NR's!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Very nice project result. You may want to look at fitting some CBR900 rearsets... If you look at my project thread there's some pics of an example. Wouldn't be too difficult to make a red heel plate like the original too? Another thought - check to see if you can use an MC28 NSR250 or VFR / RVF400 cushless rear sprocket carrier and hub like the original NR? It's possible to fit 4 x M12 x 1.5 studs, or have the wheel welded and machined to accept a centre lock nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yes, you are right! I have CBR900 footrests lying in the garage. But fitment has been postponed to “step 2”. Got the generator cover dummy yesterday. Turned and machined from billet aluminium, then anodized black. The edge of the chamfer should have been straight, but this was hard to achieve since the surface is curved. Well, I think the result became quite good anyway. Logos are stickers.

Member Contributer Cogswell Posted May 28, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 28, 2015 That thing must really turn heads. Only a VFR / NR purist would know any difference. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helweg Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Finaly my grill is finished - molded in fiberglass and painted alu look - funny what a difference it makes when the grill is there I'm very satisfied with the result, now I only miss the grill at the rear between the exhaust pipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreasH Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Generator cover dummy in place! (sorry for poor photo!) With that the bike is, more or less, done for now. Now I just need some nice weather... Next winter I will probably make some improvments, so I will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreasH Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Small update. This winter I have fitted a 180 rear tyre. (just for the looks) and "NR-style" footpegs and heel plates. Pegs & plates is from a CBR900 + a piece of red plastic. Quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
