Hi thanks for the offer of Mallory Park but I'll be busy, but I'm at a trackday at Cadwell Park on Wednesday 6th ( Moto Morini club) if your free pop along it's supposed to be a good day.

If your still looking for seat ideas I've got a period RS850 seat you could try (Nottinghamshire based), that is true 80s endurance, take a look at my rs850 build page.

Hi did you get any where with the dry clutch conversion?

Hi I'm probably late to the party as normal 😀, I've done a similar thing, I made a RS850 replica, the cost of which far out weighed the final value of the bike, but I couldn't afford to buy a genuine HRC works bike even if I could find one for sale, If you are going to enjoy the making/modifying of a "RC30" and then enjoy the riding of it just go for it, life is too short just enjoy it.

Hi All, I've just about managed to get my little replica project together and finished (well sort of finished, is a project ever finished), i thought I would post some completed photos and give a little run down of whats what. Just a little info about the bike, Honda VF750F RC15 modified frame and swinging arm using a YSS shock, CBR600 wheels front and rear, Honda VFR750 RC24 engine with hand made exhausts, front cylinders under the bike and the rears out of the seat, VF1000R fork lowers and yokes with VTR1000F (Firestorm) uppers and internals with race springs and internal modification. Altered VF750 fuel tank, altered VFR750 wiring loom.

The fork lowers and the top yoke have been painted

I've tried to replicate the HRC magnesium chromate colour, I've had the top yoke done in the same colour.

Does that look better, a bit more HRC? Or do you like the VFR forks that it came back from the painters with?

Thanks guys for all your positive , I'll try and post more photo's when there are any changes

I thought holding the brake calipers on with tyraps (cable ties) would be the way forward for quick removal 😜, don't worry I'll post some photos when the correct forks are refitted, the guy that painted the bike has painted the VF1000R fork lowers, I have rebuilt them and am just waiting to get them fitted, but that means removing that lovely body work and I just can't stop looking at it.

I've got it out of the van this morning, there are still some jobs to do, like change the forks, install the screen and then set it up but here goes with a few photos, please play nice!

I've been looking and the screen came from Skidmarks in the Uk think it was £50 if my memory serves me correct (but I'm old so don't count on it)

The screen is a XR69 one, can't remember where I got it from but I'll look into it and get back to you

Look what's in the back of my van I'll get some better photos when its outside

Just a little update, I've managed to get the bike back into one piece and it's off at the painters, it's been there two weeks so shouldn't be that much longer before it's back, then I've got to rebuild the VF1000r/VTR1000 forks and re-install then and them get it on a dyno to set it up with the exhaust and no airbox setup. I'll get a few photo's on here as soon as I get it back!
