Update to this build, the bike is for sale after 17,500 amazing kilometres. Check the classifieds for info. Sad to say goodbye, but excited for whoever might be the next owner to enjoy the bike!

Lol... just noticed that too.

I also did a double take when I picked up the magazine... I had submitted the info a while back and didn't know it would be in the mag. Pretty cool :)

. Íman means magnet ! :)) I tried many different methods to get the factory speed sensor to work with the koso gauge, and I think it might be possible with a 5th or 6th generation speed sensor (I can't remember why... this was a few years ago). But I couldn't get it to function. So I used the koso supplied speed sensor and put it on the swing arm with the magnet on the sprocket bolts. Problem solved. I hope that helps.

Cheers to that!!! Your bike looks fantastic! What is it specifically your are having trouble with on the Speedometer?

I really should join in the fun

Hey man! Not sure how I missed your message, but if you are still having issues post #21-27 in this thread has quite a bit of info that should help :) Bike is looking good! Thank you very much man! When it comes to modding a bike every task you research and tackle will be learning experience, and even though it may not work perfectly the first time if you keep at it you will continue to improve in your skills. There is a ton of info on this site and all over the internet on modding and fabricating, we have it good :) And yes… the VFR creates some beautiful music!

You win this round Seb! But I still own the category of "most girly color"

I've come to the same conclusion. I've weighed mine with a bathroom scale (one wheel at a time, add both numbers), and the local department of transport scale, both times I came up with close to 415 lbs dry (no fuel). Which is quite similar to your numbers Seb. Which does represent a 70lb weight savings over stock however! Lighter wheels, different swingarm… after that it's basically shaving grams from other parts. Although custom headers would probably help me a little… Bike still looks amazing Seb!!

Thanks guys

I suppose from the different pipe merges?

Great workmanship! I really like your "wiring tunnel" idea in the front of the tank. I have had a tough time routing my wiring between the frame and the radiator.

This bike is incredible Seb :) The overall appearance is very aggressive yet integrated. But the most impressive thing to me is that as you get closer to the bike you notice more and more custom details. Custom fabricated parts that speak volumes of your skill, ability and vision. Well done sir!
