Yep, I took an extended break as Nick has the VFR now, and I've been without a bike for two years now. I will be changing jobs the first of June and was going to buy a 84,85,or86 Honda Nighthawk but my wife just lost her 80K/year job on Friday, so I aint buying crap now. I'm going to likely "borrow" my old VFR back and use it to commute with. I unfortunately sold the Helibars, Convertibars, and Spiegler riser bar setups, so now I'm going to have to try and locate a set of them, as Nick put the stock bars on it when he got it from me. I went and sat on it today where he has it stored and it's just too far bent over for me, now that I'm almost 58 in a week or so. I'll let you know if I start commuting with it. Glad to hear all the old timers are still here.

Sorry for missing your question, as I've not been active on here for a long time. The first posts stated that I used the Sharkskin race bodywork.. I don't have any drawings of the rear subframe I made unfortunately. Sorry. We still have the bike and are planning a new paint job for this year.

Ask and you shall receive! :lobby: I want to put that muffler on everything I own :lobby:

No comments on the video?

Here is a short video clip of the fire spitting VFR with it's unique Micron Ultralite Titanium muffler ( that weighs 1 1/2 lbs. ) :warranty:

the 97 is still on the original plugs....should be good for 80k or so. :offtopic:

That's easy - it didn't take a lot of money. I got very lucky - twice! :beer: Hell, then lets start playing the lottery together. :beer:

With your fabrication skills, the only thing stopping you is the other 5 bike projects you have going on at the same time. Ain't that the truth! I spoke too soon anyway - I got another 96 that's getting stock stuff and the first one is getting streetfighter naked treatment. :fing02: Where in the world are you getting all this money to buy bike after bike? I envy guys like you who only have 1 hobby to devote all their money to. You're my hero. :ph34r:

Great bunch of work there...very nice for reference.

The race bodywork kit has the holes already in it for the Dzus fasteners, so all you have to do is rivet the fasteners into the bodywork, and WALLAH....done.

The Veypor is stupid silly easy to install and wire up. calibration takes a couple trips down the street while pushing buttons, but nothing major. It is extremely lightweight...I think it saved me about 5 1/2 pounds of weight and that is on the very top of the bike. Shaving the 65 pounds off the bike transformed it into a great handling bike, doesn't even feel like a VFR

Start at the beginning of this thread and you will see how to transform it to look just like the F4i. It was not that hard.

Just did the headlights, taillights, etc on my Suburban I'm restoring...my new son-in-law is a manager of a local body shop and we started out with 150 grit paper, working up to 600, then worked up to 1000, then 1500. After they looked like almost new again, he brought out the 3M Polishing compounds and then finished them off to a high gloss. Then we clear-coated them with some left-over clear from the spray booth. :fing02:
