Amthrax Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Hey guys, I'm extremely new to motorcycles and was looking for any advice about my situation. I have a very beat up 1992 Honda VFR 750 and was wondering if it was best to try and find new fairings, or take the whole thing apart with the help of some mechanic friends and put some generic fairings on it? Not trying to spend too much money so that's my biggest factor I guess. Less than a grand preferably to fix this thing up and have it running soon. Any help or if I need to explain anything else, I will try my best. Thank you! Quote

Unless you get EXTREMELY lucky and find some OEM fairings on CL or eBay, your only option is aftermarket or custom. Of course you can always repair fairings if you feel you want a challenge but if they are nonexistent then see above. Quote

I asked them similar questions and they were having a hard time finding parts as the bike seems very outdated. I know very little about motorcycles to begin with but from what I've been reading up on and all the responses, it seems like I would just have to convert to a street bike. I'm just not sure what parts I would have to buy for it. Basically the plastic on it is either scratched or stuff is falling off (back tail). I know the speedometer does not work, it's missing a few screws and bolts here and no exhaust but, it runs completely fine and starts up beautifully (for the most part). Just need to be guided into what to buy for it. Will post pictures of the bike tomorrow after work! Quote
