  1. Sorry for my absence, been busy at work and haven’t been on here in a couple weeks, Frank’s got some new paint, I’m not sure how I like the color, I wanted it to be a little more vibrant but it’s pretty cool it’s a dark blood red in sunlight and a blackish color in the shade with a lot of metallic flake it’s pretty cool!
  2. Well I agree, they are there for a reason, I may leave clutch switch, because your right I have Lurched the bike forward by accident. I’ll try what u listed, are there any other areas we are missing that could cause this except a phantom short?
  3. I’m still not super good at this forum thing but here’s and update and a new problem, so frank here has his lights finally working, the fire blade front end only has the two headlights so I moved the hi beam wire to the inner light socket and got the go low functioning, I used a 5 post starter relay to delete most of the headlight wires and all that crap, so I got all my wires tucked and all I wanted was a first cruise since I got the body back together, well my battery was low and I had to jump it to get it running, let it run for a min and then hopped on, revved good and sounded go so I went to take off made it half way down the drive way and it died, so I pushed it back up, jumped it, let it run tried to get it to do it agian and nothing, so okay stay close to the shop and keep it short, made it farther this time all the way to the road and as soon as I started to turn onto the road and take off it died, now the lights stay on and I can try and crank it didn’t fire cuz my battery was still weak, cranking but cranking slowly. Now I’m guessing 2 things the weak battery not being strong enough to fire the engine under load/charging system is weak, or the tip over sensor (I’ve just kinda squished it behind my dash and I’m pretty sure it’s not right side up) but I’ve messed with it some while the bike is running and it dosnt seem to do anything “before today’s issues” does anyone have any input? Sorry for the long winded post! The bike is an 07 vfr800, I’m all for deleting as much as I can, so I think that tip over is gunna be the first to go, I’ll delete the kickstand switch too as I’ve just realized while writing this that it could be a problem with the kickstand isn’t contacting the switch completely because of the new fairings, I did have some issues with fitting around kickstands
  4. Yes and it actually lead to me getting them working I deleted the dual relay for all the headlights and now have it functioning off of a single 5 prong, sadly I was hoping all my lights would work, I was getting no power to the hi/low switch. Now that’s tackled and my high low functions, my integrated tail light doesn’t light up despite being wired right and also no flashers either, the bike got sandwiched at a light (front/back) and the wiring is pretty screwed. I wish I was more capable on forums! But yeah anything that has wiring circuits relating to lights in the rear
  5. I have no way to download it as I don’t own a computer can I pull it up on my phone
  6. 07 vfr800 Now I’m not sure where they are normally but there are a handful of relays in the front of the bike, 2 of which are smashed, well the whole harness is pretty messy. A lot of the ends have been ripped off. Regardless I’m wiring in fire blade head and tail, as far as I have figured out, green is ground, orange is left and light blue is right, and I’ve isolated the hi low wires, now for my question, 1. Can anyone list the relays with 4 prongs in the front, there are 2 that seem to be very similar they are the ones I need, now to help narrow it down, the bike will start and run, with bulbs installed they won’t light with the key power on, I messed around with a jumper and got lights to light up on one of the relays, and this one says Mitsubishi on it, they are too smashed to get any more Info off them, one more thing is if someone can provide me with a wire Selma tic or at least a wire key card or something. I’m so close to finishing it now and I’ve hit a rock wall with this, on a side note if anyone can help me know the function of the relays in terms of how the circuits are wired, I know it’s a lot but I’m sure you guys can help thanks!
  7. Ohhh I like it!!! Do you know how much they go for?
  8. How do I message him and Thankyou I’m formiller with flapper and pair didn’t realize that they where part of that canister! Thanks friends
  9. Yeah I’m not superstitious, I actually rode it to my work like it was in the video with the bent forks, no likes and as the sun was going down, the last 1/4 mile before I arrived at the shop the makeshift oil cooler delete blew off and soaked me and the bike in hot oil, luckily I was able to shut her down before the oil got emptied but it sure got scare when the oil got to the back wheel, it was a bit scare but I’ve been on two wheel since I was little
  10. Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I’ll take some more pictures today it looks more tidy then it did in my most recent picture and everything is starting to actually get bolted down!
  11. So this is my first post so I’ll introduce, I’m 25 I live in Wilmington Nc and I’m a motorcycle tech at a local shop (new career change I was a diesel tech before) this bike showed up at a buddy’s tow company, it had been squished between two cars while waiting for a light to change. I ended up picking it up for 300$ as the owner abandon it at my buddy’s place. IMG_0809.MP4 This was the first time it was started by me after getting it. Since then I’ve had plenty of opportunity to try other plastics off of a bunch of sport bikes, I’ve been lurking on this site for a while and from what I’ve found fire blade parts fit pretty good, so think of my surprise when I found a front cowl off of a 2003 in a dusty box in the back of our shopit started me thinking. So the parts on it now are 2003 sides and front cowl, headlights are from an 06 I think and the tail is an 07 with a matching rear seat and an 03 f4i front seat not sure about the windshield but I found it in a pile and it seems to fit pretty good,i also sourced an exhaust from a buddy for some old used tires, all and all I’m about 5 or 6 hundred total including the cost of the bike. I’m all about doing everything with my own hands so any advice or tips or general feedback or ideas would be great! Anyway excited to see what you guys think. I do have a couple questions, the charcoal canister mounted to the front bottom of the engine; mine has the plastic tabs broken off and I was wondering what it does and how it can be deleted I’m pretty sure it’s just some emissions crap, but I don’t want to throw a code, I have access to some tuning software but not sure that I can tune a stock Honda computer or if it can be done. Also I’m interested in the clear stator cover mod, but am not sure if it’s something you buy or if you have to fab one for this bike. so far I’ve replaced the front end, unbent and rebuilt the factory rear subframe, minus all the brackets,(all got destroyed) Also would like some ideas on how to mount the seats(03f4i front and 2007 cbr1000rr rear seat on 2007 vfr800 rear subframe) my tail plastic position is pretty flexible as I haven’t mounted it but it fits nicely at several distances from the tank. lastly my oil cooler was mashed and not fixable so I’ve looped the oil lines and deleted it, Possiable side affects of this? Doesn’t seem like it needs it unless you where going a long distance at high rpms, or carrying a bunch of weight, I’m like 180 and my wife 105, with no saddlebags, doesn’t seem like I need it but I’m curious to hear what others think!
