Cliftonsiskvfr Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I bought this bike a couple of years ago. the plastics were already pretty messed up. I did not realize at the time that it would be so difficult and expensive to find replacements. I truly love the power delivery of the VFR v4 motor and The bike is comfortable and reliable so I wanted to find a way to get it looking more like what I wanted. I did not really like the tail section of the 4th gen models so I started looking at potential alternatives. While doing research I came across a couple of different projects that intrigued me. Among them was apexandy's streetfighter project. The project got a kick in the pants when a friend gave me a Ducati Monster seat he had purchased for a previous project that he had never done. The rest is history. Still a long way to go but here is the progress. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted June 6, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted June 6, 2017 The overflow bottle? Paint it Black! (and leave a narrow strip unpainted at the rear so you can still check the level easily..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
