Yeah, great job.  Not 100% sold on the fender, but hey, it's not mine now is it?

 

Love your work.  Getting ready to start another 86 VFR700F as well.

 

Are those VFR400 ebay rear turn signals?

Yes, re-pop turn signals off eBay. I've just ordered a set with amber lenses; I think they better fit the look of the classic VFR.

I agree and thank you.  Post it up with the amber when you get them. 

 

Are you modifying them?  Or is it just a mounting hole thru the fender.

In this case they just mount up through the hole provided in the simple fender eliminator. I enlarge the hole slightly and fit the signals' rubber grommet, then mount with the provided screw. I think I have to shorten the screw a bit or fit a shorter bolt. They will also mount up to the stock signal bracket. Here's some shots from a prior project.

Beautiful job - it looks awesome.  Can you post a close-up pic of where your rear stand makes contact?  I can't tell if you're using spools.  My VFR doesn't have a center stand, so I need to come up with a way to get that back wheel off the ground.

 

I hope you're riding and enjoying it now.

I’m super happy with my abba stand. A bit more money than a pitbull stand but much more capable. I’m usng it on my rc36 but very likely they have fittings for an rc24.

The stand is just a generic swingarm-style rear stand, no spools. It happens to be a Lockhart Phillips, I also use a T-Rex. Both are adjustable for width and work fine for the VFRs. They make contact just forward of the rear axle.

BTW, you can also use a floor jack placed under the center stand mounts, but you'll want to have the front end secured (held down) in some way.

Just search "VFR400 turn signals." I'll post one link below, but lots of sellers.

Update: I just received my amber signals — they were cheap ($9.99) but did not include the rubber grommets or mounting screws, so be careful which you order.

Amber signals are mounted. These turned out to be really cheap-o lights (surprise!). They don't come with mounting grommets or screws, they're not faithful reproductions. But the worst thing is they are supplied with those little Chinese bulbs that you can't replace in the U.S. I'll keep looking for the better LED ones with amber lens.
