What COP did you end up using? Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Thanks for the comment but it is quite vague. I've read a lot of COP threads but none of them had reported finding solutions that worked well/for a long time. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Hi all, I am in the process of building a 1997 VFR Streetfighter. I am wondering where everyone hide the ignition could on a stripped down bike? Thanks in advance. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Yep, and fairly quickly too. I ordered some more items. Thanks for your recommendation!

Hi all, working on a project trying to swap a CBR929 triple into a 97 VFR. Got all balls tapered rollers to replace the old worn out bearings. It seems as though the 929 stem is too short though. I cant get the second locking nut on under the top triple. Any advice? Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Hi Guys, Looking to replace the chain slider (on the swingarm) on my VFR project. I can't find any in stock anywhere and I don't want to fork out $150 CAD for the Thurn Motorsport version. Does anyone know where some new old stock may be, or has anyone used one from a different model? Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Thanks for the suggestion, placed an order tonight! Will see how long the parts will take. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

I am rebuilding a VFR and the nearest Honda dealer is 1 hour away and extremely unhelpful when ordering parts. I am wondering if there is a website people use to order OEM Honda parts from in Canada? Suggestions appreciated Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Update: I have CBR929RR forks, brake calipers, and lower triple. I just received my custom machined top triple which allows me to use a dirt bike bar while keeping the height provided by the 929's gull-wing triple. I also attached some photos of my subframe. Working on the battery mount today as well as covering the sides in with some ABS plastic sheets.

As of right now all I have left are the left and right front mid fairings, left has a small crack, and right is mint, seat with a few scuff marks, and a rear subframe if anyone is interested....always looking for funding for more "stuff". I will be putting all my excess items in the classifieds as soon as I get a chance.

Intro: Good day, I've been creeping around the VFR forums for quite some time before I ever had a VFR. I stumbled upon a video of a 4th gen with Delkevic pipes and have been addicted to the glorious sound ever since. Recently a 1997 VFR750F popped up for sale in near me and I jumped on it with the idea that I would build it into a naked bike/streetfighter after seeing all the beautiful machines on here. To give you some background I am a Mechanical Engineering student and have had a passion for bikes as long as I can remember. I am currently riding a 2013 Yamaha FZ8N but the inline 4 sound and powerband leaves a lot to be desired. When I purchased the VFR it was in fairly good condition and even came with a 5th gen rim. Build: So far I have not made huge progress, but I am in no rush as I have another bike to ride in the mean time. What I have done is stripped all the fairings off, had the 5th gen rear rim machined to fit the 4th gen hub, and nearly completed fabricating my own sub-frame. *Disclaimer-I am a self taught welder/fabricator so my skills are not impressive at all.* I will be using a Ducati Streetfighter seat for this build as I like the look and have seen them used on other builds on this site. I am also working on collecting the final pieces for a CBR929RR front end swap. I currently have forks, brake calipers, and a lower triple. I have a custom CNC'd upper on the way so I can use dirtbike bars. I also plan on using a Yamaha FZ1N headlight on this build. Currently I am trying to get the sub frame completely tidied before I head to school in 2 weeks. At that point I will try to find somewhere to store it as school is about 350km away from where I live. During the school year I plan to pick away at the front end swap as well as work on all the wiring that needs to be done. Welcome to my journey!!

Good morning barcas90, I am wondering if you could send me details of your rear subframe as well as I am looking to build a similar bike!! Thanks
