Putting on a CBR600RR Subframe and Tail on my vfr700. Using Oakley Burns post to make custom brackets to fit CBR600 subframe. Already chopped my vfr's upper brackets off of subframe, now just gotta grab some steel from home center and use my angle grinder to make some rounded brackets to attach to CBR, then weld them to upper vfr arms. Now that i have gotten over that hurdle now just gotta get a wire feed welder and practice...should not be that hard now that i have studied Oakley burns post. Pretty straight forward. Will Post pics of progress.

Thanks again guys.
