Default My modded VFR
Three years ago I bought a '97 VFR....good mechanical shape but the bodywork upon close viewing left a lot to be desired....and I am not into red....here she is before modding.....



So, after seeing the fabulous job that Fotoman did to his VFR, I decided to have some fun with mine.....

'08 CBR600RR front forks, triple tree, brakes, wheel, new EBS rotors
'05 CBR600RR gauges, Speedohealer....more to be done
'05 CBR600RR bodywork, subframe
RC51 hydraulic clutch master cylinder
'07 GSXR rear brake master cylinder
Mid pipe by Exhaust Wizard
Pontiac G6 Electric Blue Metallic paint
Convertibars
Azzano folding levers
Many, many custom fabbed pieces by me

I will do a proper write up soon with pics of the process and custom parts but for now just wanted to post pics of my baby......

The only VFR I would buy would be the '94-'97.

I think you mean Fotomoto. Glad to see you got it all to come together. Are you going to add air intake covers?


Coincidentally, I finally got around to solving my side cover issue this weekend as I never was really happy with version 1.0 or 2.0.

Here she sits as of today with the new side covers and most of the left side damage from last summers wreck finally fixed or replaced. Still need to remove the factory decal from the upper.
