Member Contributer JZH Posted December 16, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 16, 2014 That bike has been advertised for years. Used to be £99,000, so it's now a bargain! Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreasH Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Jason, Welcome to the club! You are in for a good start there with the mirrors! Rear light is from a Suzuki GS500 ,around `92-97 I think. (cheers to Helweg DK that found that out) Good luck with your project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helweg Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi Jason Welcome to the club !

Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted December 18, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 18, 2014 With a rate of 2-3 hrs a week things are moving really slow…but it´s moving forward. Don't worry about that. That's more than the rest of us are getting to spend on our projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrjason Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hi, thanks for the quick replies the info on the rear tail light and for making me feel welcome. I am experimenting and trying to load an image or two (I did manage to put them in an album on this site), I will work it out at some point, possibly now!!!!!!! (I will see when I post this. So I goth the light on e-bay thanks, and I expect this to be a difficult project with a long time span as I have limited skills!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact there will be little happening until I put a small extension onto my shed so as I can start the project. Thanks again for the help so I may as well make use of the advice and ask if I purchase CBR900 98/99 front forks will they bolt straight on with no problems?? and I presume I will have to get 98 calipers, what about the discs, can I use the VFR's and wheel as indicated?? thanks from Jason The bike I picked up is 1994 )hopefully you can see a picture of it) its a good stare for €1400, good price!!!!!! look forward to being part of the community and seeing what happens??? P.S. I run the VJMC in Ireland here is the website www.vjmc.ie you will see many good photos of our shows etc........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 CBR forks do fit, but not without "problem"... If you use the 93-96 forks (92 is "wrong" color) you can use VFR wheel and rotors. But you need special made or adjusted spacers to get the wheel aligned in center. 98-99 CBR900 has Ø310mm rotors and then you will get this problem: The caliper is too far from the brake disc. Guess what year my forks is... but I got 96-forks lying around! Steering stop also need to be adjusted. (range must be reduced) I drilled a hole, threaded, put in a stud and nut. And secured with chemical metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrjason Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Thanks Andreas, yes I did get this info in the early section of the Blog, but thanks for being very specific. Anyway I went down to my local bike breaker today and luck enough he had a complete front end from a 98 CBR900, So i gota good deal on it at €370 for everything, wheel, discs, calipers, handlebars, forks, the whole lot, so this is good. Also I will get a friend of mine who speaks French to phone POLY26 in the new year and order the fairing kit, So I am getting together, just one question I may as well get the headlight, the one you used was off a Yamaha I believe, it looks like a Fazar 600??? what headlight was it exactly please and year????? At least having all the parts is a good starting point but admittedly the easy bit!!! thanks again for all the help from Jason What country are you in also? I,m in Dublin, Ireland. Merry Christmas from Dublin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yes, hedlight is from a Fazer 600 ´98. Merry Christmas from Sweden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 A two week Christmas holiday also made it possible to put some time into my NR-project. No big visual progress, but it is the details that is most time consuming. Like to create new edges around the grill cut-outs, and to get a nice fit with the grill. But I´m happy with the result. All changes to the body-parts is now done. Like it or not, but this mud-flap is NR-ish… Anyway, most of it will be covered by the license plate. Current status: Next step…fine tuning of body-parts, spray filler and wet sanding with 800-paper. Time consuming? Yes. But as always: only way of eating an elephant is in small pieces! BTW: Anyone that knows the receipt for that really bright red color that the NR has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Let us know the paint code, we have a thread with some paint formulas here. Go to Google and search "PSA VFRD". When they say "the devil is in the details"... what they really mean, is the time it takes to get all the little things correct is hellishly long. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted January 7, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 7, 2015 It's helpfully called "NR red", Honda paint code R-175. Not that it helps to know this, as I doubt it is available anywhere as such... Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 NR-red is available at RS Motorbike paint! Shipping is £15 to central Europe and Denmark , but £60 to Sweden/Finland...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted January 8, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 8, 2015 give them a call and ask them to double check the shipping costs. Here the prices if I order in the Netherlands Shipping 2-5 kilo to Zweden (insured) is a tad over Eur 20 If they will not budge, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
750 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 A.m.a.z.i.n.g!!!!! Can't wait to see this finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Got a package yesterday… My special made stickers. Joy! Fairings is under slow process to get better finish. Fiberglass is obviously a quite rough method to make a body…even a dull spray filler reveals a lot of small pits and roughness. So it goes filler-sanding-filler sanding some more. But I realize I have to accept a level a few clicks from “original surface quality”, if I ever want to see the bike ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
750 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Dude, be patient. Keep the end goal in sight. All you'll end up doing is stripping it and doing it again if you're not 100% happy anyway, trust me! If you spend the time to get the fairing perfect now, you'll reap the benefits down the line. You've come a long way IMO and you should see it through! I'm sure others will agree. Also, I was in Stockholm last year for a weekend. There's some amazing roads to ride there so maybe we can meet up when this project is finished and go for a big ass ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yep. I test my patience a little bit every day. (filler-sanding…) After a few hours work, and there is no visible changes…unless you are on a arm-length distance! More visible was my sticker I put on the “fake-hub”. Sorry for the poor photo, the difference in black color between sticker and cover plate is less in reality. Just need to find a large R-pin!

AndreasH Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Two pieces ready for the final wet-sanding with 800-paper. Some semi gloss black paint on the inside to give a impression of carbon fiber. The tank is also coming along quite fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looking good... don't settle for second best... no matter how much your fingers hurt, you will be very happy when the paint lays down flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreasH Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Long time, no update… But things are happening! Slowly. After quite a few hours of tiresome work of wet sanding the fairings with 400, 800 and finally 1200-paper I felt that this is as good as it gets. Not perfect, but I did my best. Last week I handed the fairings to the painter. In a couple of weeks the result will be shown. I have no idea if I will be happy or disappointed... Meantime I have worked on the electrical bits. Brake lines is next to be installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
