Life with 3.5 and 1 year old boys is not the easiest. Couple months behind schedule, but these will get a final wipe down and bolt up tomorrow. With luck it'll go smooth enough to get a first startup with the test can (cheap 'SC Project' 8" off Amazon)

#1 & #3 are both going on tonight. Not quite permanently yet, but I'm happy with how they came out.

Seat nearly done. A few more hours to get it 100%, but not bad for never done upholstery before.

I've got some replacement used OEM in a box with other parts, I need to fab a couple of stands still. The wiring took forever as a combination of not wanting to screw it up, trying to stay motivated to keep at it, and keep it clean enough for the finished look. Still not as tidy as just making my own harness, but I'm happy enough with it. Couple screen snips from a video I took after getting it home that fateful day. Prius decided they wanted into Parking lot, while I was crossing the intersection. Fun fact: Ferry traffic is responsible for yeilding to local traffic, even though if it is crossing over it's lane. Thus I was marked as 100% at fault for the cause of the accident since 'I am to ensure the intersection is clear before proceeding'.

Wasn't planning to showcase too much, but hard work is nice to showcase at the end of the day. Quick history of the bike: Bought in June of 21, I enjoyed it that summer, fall and winter, right up until a Prius decided it wanted into the parking lot to my right, turned into me and totaled my poor 8th gen. After a 4mo recovery, physical, emotional and some financial turbulence, I settled on rebuilding as a streetfighter. Looking to have it back on the road in another week or two. Teasers before it's shakedown and full picture dump.

Hola! Account has been around for a while, and I've lurked, but I figure an appropriate greeting is courteous before posting about my bike. Mid 30's Male, typical wrencher from childhood, but turned Dad and got a '14 VFR cause 90° v4>just about any other exhuast note, plus my uncle had a 98 when I were a wee lad. Welder/Fitter of 16 years, union pipe welder for the past 6, finally got a home shop set up enough for a side gig and the Viffer was a perfect candidate, due to 'uncontrollable' circumstances (Got hot and heavy with a Prius against my will), to showcase/testbed skillset and hairbrained ideas. Not much else that's relevant for you folks though, looking forward to being part of motorsports community again. Cheers.
