Member Contributer JZH Posted January 27, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted January 27, 2014 Dutch (or Belgian--they look the same to me!). Not sure about the "NR50". Are you sure it's not a Mikuni project, rather than a Honda one? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hello everybody here's some pictures of what it can look like after a lot of work! Project was started in 94' with a 93 vfr. Cheers Is that the bike that Adrian ( i forget his last name - was it Vanderkroll ?) built? If so - I saw it after it unfortunately fell over in transport and some damage was done. If thats not Adrian's bike - then there are two in Ontario! Welcome to VFRD by the way! That does not look like an Ontario license plate? Correct- but the poster of the Pic is an Ontario member - and the plate could be a "prop". Our plates certainly are not that insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not look like an Ontario license plate? That is not a license plate but an air brake that some municipalities require when you unleash a V4 upon public roadways...probably from the old world.

AndreasH Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Rather sparsely between updates…but there is some progress! The side grills is very NR-specific and is a must-have on my replica. Problem is genuine parts is beyond expensive at €650 each…plus the fact they would not fit my fairings… So what to do? One option is to find a couple of industrial electronics heat sinks… …that happens to have the correct c-c between the fins. Cut the profile in your hobby cutting machine… …then cut the too long fins in your bandsaw… (and watch your fingers!!) Then mill the fins to 4,5mm height in your hobby cnc-machine. The base plate was way too thick, so mill it to 2,5mm. Here comes the trick: mill juuust through the base plate so… …the fins makes a grill! Deburr and toss is into your tumbling machine and leave it for a few hours… …and Violá! you have got a nice NR-look-a-like grill! Now I just need to adjust the radius in the corners and drill some holes, and finaly send if for anodizing. If you don´t have these machines in your garage it helps to have a good contact with a mechanical workshop... Big thanks to you Anders!! (Edit: Just to clearify...I do not have these Machines in my garage) And to Dutchy that generously helped me with pictures and measurements of the NR-grill. I also picked up my mufflers that have been anodized. Now I just waiting for the end-pipes to be bright anodized after being turned to a nice finish.

Helweg Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi guys I have asked Andreas if it was ok to join this thread, since we share the same passion in building a NR750 replica. I think we brought the fairings almost the same time, and we have had a mail korrespondance sharing measurements and ideas I was a little late to start up but finaly got started I started building the tail and are almoste done with the exhaust. Next step is to allign the fairing with the frame still needs a little adjustment It looks so easy ........ doesn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helweg Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Time for a little update Dutchy and Andreas "Thanks for your help with pics, measurements and mirrors" First thing to mold in fiber was headlight , had to remove that surpriced look and give the face some nasty eyes Headlights is mounted on the frame, to make it more stabil. My idea is that it's easy to remove only the shell to get access to everything Setting up the mirrors And this is where I am now The rough part is almost done, from now on is the fine tuning, details and paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
