V4junkie Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Modified the stock exhaust on my VFR so that they're basically straight pipes. However, I'm not crazy about the bead blasted finish.Fairings will be back on pretty soon after some graphics. Dressing it up to look a little P-40ish and I'm thinking flat blacking the cans (and pass pegs) might help with the stealth look. Thoughts?Oh and here's a crappy pic in case you can't visualize the fairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSRAaron Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 yeah definitely put some kind of finish on them...how about some custom carbon fiber outlets on the ends of the canisters?? now that would be sexy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f4isvt Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 high heat spray paint suprisingly holds up very wheel. I got 3-4 coats on mine and have not touched it up in 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V4junkie Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 The masses hath spaketh! Flat black it is.The cans themselves are just the stockers. Cut them down the middle along the original weld and took out all of Honda's spaghetti(maybe 5 lbs worth per can). Then also sawed the end caps off and had him weld on a bent plate into an oval. It's really open and sounds nasty but I'll need to be wearing those earplugs.I'll try to get a sound clip up after work today. I can't believe how warm it's going to get while I'm in NYC. . .

V4junkie Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well thank you very much. I stare at other bikes all the time but when you can only have one bike to do everything I just can't find a bike better for me than the viffer.If you think it looks good now the I can't wait to get the fairings back on there. They're out at Auto Trim Design (Granville) getting some vinyl. The good thing is my family won't charge me much, bad news is he'll just have the fairings until he finds time. Oddly I think I'll miss having the bikes guts hanging out . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
