toe1959 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 just started a rc45 replica using a rvf400 fairing and race seat unit, lots of work to do, exhaust clocks brackets and a paint job, thinking of fitting round headlights to the nose cone.

Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted January 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted January 29, 2015 That's funny because I'm replacing Mr.RC45's round bug eyes with the blended NC35 head lights to look more like the RC45 endurance racer...

toe1959 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 had a go with the rattle cans. thinking white wings on the tank and black Honda on the lower fairing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I always found teh NC 35's nose to be much more attractive than the 45's because of the sleeker headlight design. Maybe another kewhl project can also be just grafting in the NC35 lights/nose on to a 4th gen?? Not to make a "replica racer" but just to update/improve the nose of the bike...

toe1959 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 changed the lines on tank and fairing, going to use this paint style fitting a digital dash then book a track day at oulton pk, see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted February 15, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 15, 2015 Great project... I was wondering if NC35 body work would fit around a VFR! I was looking at Tyga's website last night pondering a very similar project with a 5th gen... Is that OEM Honda body work or after market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe1959 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 hi, its all after market, fibre glass but not in bad nick, only bit of tyga on this is the screen brace from a old rvf400 I crashed, my mate as a full tyga body kit with lights and rear sub frame, from my old bike.

Do you have the side mounted VFR radiators under the RVF400 body work? Did it require any widening or re-fabricating to get it to fit around the radiators or are you planning on fitting some front mount rads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TheLimey Posted February 19, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm pretty sure this is an NC35 so it has a double radiator mounted in front of the headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted February 19, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm pretty sure this is an NC35 so it has a double radiator mounted in front of the headers. Yes, the Camel bike is an NC35 and has the front mounted radiators... the project bike he is working on is a VFR750 with NC35 body work, that is the bike I was inquiring about the rads. I don't see any front mounted radiators so I didn't know if they were installed yet or if he was able to squeeze the side mounted VFR rads behind the NC35 body work. I'm looking at buying some NC35 body work for my track bike and I would love to have input from some one who has put it on a VFR... especially, how it relates to the radiators and whether I have to reconfigure the cooling system to have front mounted rads to work with the NC35 body work.

toe1959 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 All sorted now, rad and oil cooler in the same place as before with just some mods to the under side of the top fairing and the v panel in front of the rad, ordered a digital dash and a new screen, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think the mismatched wheels look good on that bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baileyrock Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I think the mismatched wheels look good on that bike! Agreed! The black front carries forward the black decal & forks nicely, while the white wheels does the same on the rear. Looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
