on my 5th gen i attached them to the air box, and then went to a COP conversion.

COP?

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.

Did you manage to get everything in that you ordered? 

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?

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?

Try GP bikes https://gpbikes.com/ and select parts. (http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.com/gpbikes/partsfinder.htm) I have never ordered online, usually call in or go in.
They are local to me in Ontario, but they have free shipping on orders over $50. Huge dealership, great bunch of guys. My family and I have bought many motorcycles (new and used) through them and have ordered a ton of parts. Better service than any other dealership.

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

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!!
