Welcome to the asylum 98VFR from The Land Of Interesting Weather. You obviously have great taste in mc's. Best generation in the fastest color.

Welcome to the asylum from The Land Of Interesting Weather. That's beautiful example you have. And at 4,000 mileage it is a newborn. And it's in the fastest color.

At least you will not see another one like yours. Unique in all respects.

Thank you Mister Bill. Wish I could have been with you. Great report.

So you drew the eyes on the tape? Nice work. And the eyes do appear to be looking to where you want to go.

I love your headlight covers. Sure beats the blue painters tape I use to cover my fragile bits during track time for the Advances Riders courses at the local track at DCTC.

Welcome to the asylum from The Land Of Interesting Weather Sparky0227. You do have great taste in MCs. Wishing you safe and fun riding.

Welcome to the asylum VFR800P. That is quite the unique machine you have there.

Welcome to the asylum ROOTS. You do have great taste in MCs.

Welcome to the asylum VFR4CMB. We are crazy for VFRs. You obviously have great taste in MCs. Best generation in the fastest color.

Didit, It was a pleasure to ride with you, hang out with you, and party with you. You organized fabulous SumSum's. Best of fortune in your new pursuits. Take care Didit, Terry

Cogswell, I need to do something similar with my '98 from the Pacfic coast area. What/how did you do the first step: "strip fork lowers"? Thanks Cogs.

Welcome to the asylum from the Land Of Interesting Weather. You obviously have great taste in mc's. Wishing you fun and safe riding.

+1 While I'm not inclined to pay extra for a "vanity plate" I've fantasized about what I'd choose (custom mc plates are limited to five characters): 800V4 is all I could come up with. But V4 is perfect! Great idea Terry

Thread highjack warning: Speaking of frame sliders, I've found Givi 41 liter hard bags to be decent frame sliders. (blush)
