So my mod and repair list goes something like this:

-Kawasaki ZX14 mirrors
-Lower link
-Bar raisers
-Shortened side stand
-Shaved seat
-"New" stock exhaust
-"New" grab handles
-Lots of new fairing pieces
-Lots of replacement fastners
-Repairs to wiring
-New fork seals and dust covers
-Painted headers and exhaust pipes
-Many many hours of cleaning (THANKS TIMMY!)
-Super cute spider key chain "Charlotte"

All that is left is some passenger hangers/pegs and my super sleuthed CBR1000 Honda badge! Whooohooo!

That is a work of art! Great job bringing her back to a pristine machine! Have fun racking up the miles!

Excellent job on getting your VFR back together. Paint looks great as well.

Y2Kviffer · 07-21-2008, 05:48 AM

azpnshr · 07-21-2008, 05:55 AM

Awesome job cleaning her up. What was a pretty bike is now gorgeous!

Scubalong · 07-21-2008, 05:58 AM

Nice job

drewl · 07-21-2008, 08:31 AM

OOOOH, pretty.

Looks good. Now ride her HARD.

SCraig · 07-21-2008, 08:37 AM

Looks GREAT. I especially like the polished heat shields over the cans and by the right side footpeg. I think they look much better than the brushed shields on mine.

Mind is always in the gutter, eh drewl!

Good job AND nice pics. I like the Kawi mirrors.

drewl · 07-21-2008, 01:30 PM

Um, I do not know what you were thinking I was thinking.
I was intending for you to have a spirited ride with aggressive and technical aspects requiring much physical interaction between you and your machine.

In other words...Flog her like the dirty girl she is.
