I made one of these for one of my project bikes and it turned out so well, I thought I might offer them here to other VFR folks. By installing this part, you combine an aesthetic wheel plug which nicely dresses up the wheel face, with a Delrin slider on the hub side which serves to protect the expensive and sometimes difficult to replace hub nut and hub. Earlier today I made a second set for my VTEC using black Delrin and aluminum, for the sake of taking pictures and possibly gaining interest in a production run. Production parts would likely see the wheel plug become flush or almost flush with the wheel surface, and available bare or with a clear, silver, or black VFR logo decal. Hub sliders would be available in black or white, or special order blue. I'm wondering just how many folks here would be interested in a product like this?? Price would likely be in the $130-160 range. Here are some photos, please excuse the state of my horribly neglected VFR! I am also working on fork sliders of similar design and coloring.

Finally got mine done. A few comments and pics of my install. what comes with the package: for more details, see the original install guide: remove left and right fairings. replace coolant bottle and install it. remove engine rod and push new one in. new rod going in: Old one coming out: It should look like this: Now to the scary part. making holes on the fairings. I used plumber's putty. :) this helped me know exactly where to start the holes. used a small drill bit for initial hole. then moved to larger bit and ended up using a dremmel for the rest. That's it. most of the time is spent making those holes big enough for the spacers to go thru.
