2012 has arrived and before the world comes to an end, what better way to spend our last days then to play about with motorbikes, right?
This project is all about turning my 5th generation VFR800 into something different and individual, instead of the usual process of when you want a new bike you go on ebay sell ur bike and purchase a different bike generically the same of what many other might have.
The idea is to take my viffer, who lets be honest has become abit fat and heavy, and turn her into something abit lighter, more agressive and sporty looking, and improve/upgrade its components along the way.
Taking on this project is for many reasons: dont get me wrong i love the vfr800 as it is but it looks arent as sporty as i would like and the bike is far too heavy. I really like the idea of having bike thats going to be individual and the vfr as is has alot of features which i like as a starting point: these being the single sided swing arm, V4 grunt, large fuel capacity, the gear driven cams, honda reliabilty and also ive become really fond of the way it delivers its power. Another reason for taking on this project is because the bike needs a reconditioning/upgrade on its suspensension (front+rear). So lets get stuck in...
^ a last look of the bike before getting started
Andy what rear faring did you use for your project? I have a 600rr 2003 rear faring and its nothing like yours :/ could you let me know what faring you did use really confusing mine is much larger than yours in length
ReplyDeleteHiya james, sorry for the delay in geting back to you, ive been really busy and ive taken some time off the bike project. The rear fairing i used was from a 05-06 cbr600rr... the 05/06 one is very short but the 03 one youve got will still work, just a different look
