fazer1sniper Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I got started on this bike my last weekend off. It is my wife's beloved 1993 VFR750F Interceptor. I had previously installed a 2000 R6 race tail and am adding an inverted set of forks from a Suzuki TL1000r I found in a bone yard.Got the front forks installed, with bearings, brakes bled and working, it's back to a roller.Next plan before paint is to clean up and seal up the tail. This is in mock up before drilled to mount solid ansd before any hardware. I like how its comming together.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Got the tail all bolted together and trimmed up the diamond plate. Tore it all down and started paint prep. Only got the tail in prime before I quit. The heat today was killer. Back to the 12 hour shifts tomorrow till Friday, then back to the VFR.

All buttoned up and pipe back on, now in header wrap.Several Body panels in stages of paint.3 More parts, still need to repair. SLower than I wanted it to move faster, but paint, bondo, filler & glaze only dries so fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Really, REALLY sharp dude!! Like I said before.... Never know that was an 18 year old bike! Tail looks good, like the highmount with the header tape, the new front end with the red calipers to tie in, & love the color scheme with the Woody decals.... Kind of a twist on the traditional viffer theme, & the white rims to compliment I like your style/work/vision! Your daughter's bike next? Can't wait to see what you do with it! Thanx for taking the time to post all the pix so we can see your projects.... I enjoy seein' what you're up to Edited July 20, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazer1sniper Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 .... Kind of a twist on the traditional viffer themeYour daughter's bike next? Thanks. I chose the 2 blues & red w gold pin and old school Honda Gold Wings to be like an old RC30... with some moderen style.[imgALT=http://www.bikevis.com/images/junk/garage/2.jpg][/imgALT]Yep, the old Radian is an up and comming job. Not as DRAMATIC mods planed, but I may get the bug once I dive in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
