Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted January 1, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted January 1, 2020 Happy New Year. Last ride yesterday of 2019 and the decade on the 20 year old, 120K mile bike, which just seems to be aging so well. Never get tired of it. Thanks VFRD, Happy 2020 all.

Yes, picked up a full nose, tail and side set last year from a local who had them repainted. Not a perfect match but big improvement, the originals had faded to pink.

Member Contributer RC36B Posted January 3, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 3, 2020 You sure have a lot of modifications... front, under-seat exhaust, different clutch cover and for sure lots of others things I didn't see 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted January 4, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted January 4, 2020 I've had 19 years to fiddle with it so plenty of time to add/delete and re-add mods. I've put some insulation to the underseat tray to protect the electronics and my underseat from the exhaust. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have removed the underseat compartment by removing the the rear-fender from the battery and back...? Did you make a channel in metal to house and deflect heat from the important bits and pieces like electronics and your fanny? The rear down pipes appears to extend further back...?

The Phantom Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It's a Wolf Racing underseat system and yes you need to custom adapt it - more or less like you suggested, RC36B. It's a slip-on so no change to the headers. I have one for a 4th Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted January 5, 2020 Member Contributer Share Posted January 5, 2020 I did make a custom tray and battery box out of aluminum, basically replicated the OEM tray, and added some insulating mat to the top of the tray. The headers are TBros ss headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
