I bought this bike a couple of years ago. the plastics were already pretty messed up. I did not realize at the time that it would be so difficult and expensive to find replacements. I truly love the power delivery of the VFR v4 motor and The bike is comfortable and reliable so I wanted to find a way to get it looking more like what I wanted. I did not really like the tail section of the 4th gen models so I started looking at potential alternatives. While doing research I came across a couple of different projects that intrigued me. Among them was apexandy's streetfighter project.
The project got a kick in the pants when a friend gave me a Ducati Monster seat he had purchased for a previous project that he had never done. The rest is history. Still a long way to go but here is the progress.
