  1. can ya post up a few more pics of the hardbags/mounts? That sounds like it's got some possibilities. I will take some more detailed pics of everything this weekend. About the Attack triples, they were made to adapt modern forks to an 86. They have a standard 50/54 mm fork opening. I was more concerned about the stem length of the triples or bearing size. Regarding the exhaust I would like to redo it in stainless this time. You know how it is the proto always looks a little rough. I think that will be another job for next winter, right now I just want to ride. Kev
  2. Well folks I finally got the exhaust done on my 94. As usual it took much more work than I expected but the results are better than I had hoped for. I used a CBR1000 muffler or at least the back half of it. The chrome tips are cheap parts from a VW shop. I just used a U bend that you can get from any exhaust supplier and some scrap metal to patch everything back together. The big issue was clearance for the tire, which required mounting the muffler quite high in the rear sub-frame. I wanted the exhaust pipe to look factory and fit snug so I had to remote mount the rear brake master cylinder and modify the heat shield. I ended up removing the entire inner fender and making a new battery box then adding sides the the sub-frame with sheet aluminum.

Next comes some powder coat, a new hugger and rear brake line. I have also started collecting parts to upgrade the suspension. I have a fox shock for the rear and last night I bought an Attack triple and GSXR fork set. The forks are off a 1991 GSXR 1100 and I plan to sell them to help fund a set of R1 forks/brakes. The attack triple was built specifically for the 86 VFR, anyone know if there are any significant differences in the specs from 86 to 94 that would prevent me from using these as is? Kev AUT_4770.JPG
