This is a 98 VFR800 that had some damaged fairing and I disassembled it down to frame/engine. It has a Buell XB9R tail section, Danmoto 180° digital cockpit, SV650 clip-ons and some street fighter headlights. My plan is to use it for an everyday bike(rain or shine). Maybe over next winter I might polish frame and wheel lips as I did to my other VFR. I haven't got it finished up yet, still working on some wiring(tuck/hide) and cant decide what color to paint.

It's the stock header with a stainless slip on tube, the slip on is actually on my other VFR but will get put back on, I shortened the Two Brothers oval by about 60% and was testing it out. My other VFR had a Danmoto that I ended up putting on my nighthawk to try and quiet it down but its still LOUD. The nighthawk had a 4 into 2(stock) and when I put JE pistons and jetted it I also bought a MAC 4 into 1. The MAC had a baffle but I chopped the baffle to relieve some back pressure but it just wasn't enough and without the baffle it was deffening.

I originally bought the second VFR because my brother said he wanted it as I had the cash to pick it up pretty cheap. He changed his mind and I decided to make it a project after teardown. Bike had been laid down but not real bad and I wanted to order some china fairings at first, then decided to make a street fighter out of it.
