A quick little mod i wanted to make was the with the rearsets... I was bidding on some Harris ones to replace, but they ended up selling for silly money and this project isn't about throwing shed loads of money at the bike.
So what to do... get rid of the hero blobs... your knees are a much better lean angle indicator!
Heres the original set up:
I took the pegs off and then realised the standard vfr rider pegs weigh more than expected. I grabbed a spare pair of pillion pegs, cut and drilled them to fit, and instantly its better looking, lighter and cost me nothing
Bought some pillion hangers with nice detailed pegs.
Decided to spray them to match the rear subframe and keep the majority of the bike black.
Then added a the lockable latch.
So the exhaust has been abit of a head scratch for me in terms of what to do... originally i wanted to create an underseat exhaust, but this is probably a little out of my reach as i don't have the materials or equipment to make this happen.
The main look i wanted to achieve was to make most of the rear wheel (as visible as possible). So next i thought about a micro or stubby can... but researching lengths etc, these cans would still hide some of the wheel.
Here it is without a silencer...
For the time being i have just stuck with my Scorpion race can, but bent the link pipe enough so that i could angle the can higher (following the straight line of the subframe), making the wheel more visible than the original set up, and held in place with a small bracket i whipped up.
Finished the exhaust off with some titanium heat wrap:
