If you happen to come across this thread, know that I have a ton of parts left. The only things I've gotten sold off are the shock and exhaust as of 9/24/2016

So, a mint 5th gen has popped up for sale and I'm heavily considering parting this project out. It's got all kinds of goodies on it, would anyone be interested in any parts from this project? Professionally rebuilt Ohlins shock, sprung for 220lbs rebuilt cbr 929 front end, 0.9kg/mm springs powdercoated cbr 929 front wheel with brand new Metzeler powdercoated 3rd gen rear wheel with brand new Metzeler 599 headlight assembly superhawk clutch master cylinder with SS line cbr 929 master cylinder with SS lines sebspeed clutch cover (pressure plate same color as wheels with red outer ring) There's tons of parts, let me know if you're interested in anything in particular

Latest pics. Brake and clutch lines bled, headlight installed

How a VFR is supposed to sound

I'm not sure, I'm not too savvy on modifying the electronics unless I have to. The coils will be hidden beneath the gas tank, so that's good enough for me. Out of sight, out of mind. Took the words right out of my mouth

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!! Words truly cannot describe how happy I am right now....something like this

Question for those who have done naked conversions, where did you stash your front cylinders' spark packs?

Agreed Dutchy, agreed.

Late model Yamaha R6's use 1/6 turn throttle tubes. It'll have to be trimmed down to fit within the throttle housing you're using, but you'll get the same end result as using an official HRC throttle tube.

I haven't, but I started re-installing the wiring harness a few days ago. School is finishing up this week so I should be able to work on it some more this coming weekend! That doesn't sound half bad! The F3 rim will help out tremendously when looking for tires. The main reason I did my 929 swap was because my forks were toast from my crash and I found the 929 front end in a local salvage yard for $200. Work with what you have at your disposal, but like Canuck said, check and make sure that you'll have clearance with that new front end.

I'd go with a 929 or 954 front end, that way you'll get the USD forks and a 17 inch rim. I did a complete 929 front end swap and it was about as straight forward as it sounds, no surprises. It does drop the front end down a touch, which will change the steering geometry, but I'm not knowledgeable on that front since my bike has an aftermarket rear shock and is still in its project phase.

More or less, I don't see why not.
