    I would agree with Captain. They went more GT and less GP.

    Sounds good to me. Stable idle is also a good sign.
    Nice original discs too, it seems.

    After a couple weeks of procrastination - I finally got my butt in gear to do the repair work on the fairings.

    Dying to get the bike out on the road! :)

    Tail fairing is busted up a little and two prongs were missing on one of the battery covers.

    I also cleaned and polished the windscreen and it's back on the bike.

    Making progress on the fairings and should be done by tomorrow and will post more pics then.

    Here's the tail fairing as it came - not the worst I've ever see but also not a 1 hour fix!

    I'm using SS screening and heat, ABS sticks and heat, and PlastiFix.

    OK...finished the repairs on the tail fairing and now re-installed. About to finish the battery cover and re-install those.

    My objective right now is to get the fairings functional - albeit not necessarily fashionable. That will come later.

    All back together - finally. Ready to ride! Left battery cover and tail fairing not lined up the best - but everything in place and tight. Now to get that tape residue off!

    I love the look of that VFR except for the exhaust "tips" ....
