trooper1999 26 Report post Posted August 21 Just a little update, I've managed to get the bike back into one piece and it's off at the painters, it's been there two weeks so shouldn't be that much longer before it's back, then I've got to rebuild the VF1000r/VTR1000 forks and re-install then and them get it on a dyno to set it up with the exhaust and no airbox setup. I'll get a few photo's on here as soon as I get it back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BusyLittleShop 382 Report post Posted August 21 When I lived in Japan (79 to 81) you could buy an RS850 Production Racer from HRC for 500,000.00 yen which was 240 to the dollar... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought you should have a few photos. Screen fitted but will need a little trim Hi Trooper, can I ask about that screen? Is it from another model bike or specific to that fairing?

Mohawk 562 Report post Posted September 7 Looking very nice. Brakes look a bit ropey but that's OK, as chain is looking similar 👍😜 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trooper1999 26 Report post Posted Friday at 05:47 PM Does that look better, a bit more HRC? Or do you like the VFR forks that it came back from the painters with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain 80s 147 Report post Posted Friday at 06:30 PM Better. Nice color choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
