    Hi there. I´m from Sweden and just finished my project. I rebuild the bike so it would fit my attitude :)

    I bought fairings from Hongkong to a VTR SP1 and mounted this on my 5th gen VFR800.
    I bought smaller mirrors in carbon and lower clip-ons. Painted the tank black.

    This is the result so far, i will report soon again. Best regards Mr.Johansson

    Btw, what do you think? :smile:

    Edit, the bike was red before, can you imagine?

    Very ambitious project, looks like it turned out well. Now add some SP1 forks to complete the look.

    Thanks. Yes i will, but not until the autumn, it´s only summer here in Sweden 2-4 months in a year so i have to ride as long as i can ;)
    The saddle and tail will also be put on.

    Nice job! The RVT is hands down the best looking superbike Honda ever made
