92 VFR750F upgrade build

[fazer1sniper]

I got started on this bike my last weekend off. 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..

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.

I got 2 parts in color today. Still doing repairs on a bunch more.

I know you dont see it all that much but I cleaned up and shot header paint on exhaust parts.

Lookin good!

Exhaust work finished up today. 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...

the repaired crack ups....

One more 12hr midnite shift tonite before I jump back into this build. Have a new plan on the undertail/tail lite and a few other things to nail down. Waiting on the suzuki front fender. 4 or 5 more pannels to get into final paint before clear and sand and polish. Tail is the only peice done to that point.

Nice work as always Sniper! I can't wait to see the finished product.

OK, Home from work. Getting a few hours rack time & getting on making the rest of the bike match this tail.

Typical ohio weather is slowing the paint process. With some luck it will be done by Monday all but the front Suzuki fender. In the mail from Cali.

Here is the finished build so far.

The turn indicator flair..

The Tail section (off)

[fazer1sniper]

Im slowly getting there.. Back on the 12 hour midnite shifts later today, but happy with the look of the bike...

 

[NJFZ1]

Coming along nicely :tup:

 

[BroHay]

I see that Honda was ahead of the game with the integrated signals molded into the fairing as opposed to a install after the fact.

Again, Nice Work!

 

[Hail]

Very nice. Kind of makes me want to start a project bike!

 

[cos_fz1]

That is really coming along nicely!

You have a knack for turning junk into gold! Well done!

I'd love to do a project bike! The local garage has several including two OLD Triumph Bonneville bikes. I may go see what the deal is on them! I can trade in the scooter for one (or two) :tup:

This is about the vintage of them but they are not in THIS great shape!!!

Got it sanded and polished today...

Morrors out of paint and mounted...

Kristin's (had to have) tank protector...

WHY I NEED A FENDER...

One again hope full of the fender showing up with the mail tomorrow.

Now I am questioning if the seat should stay black.... I allways hated colored or white covered seats, But this bike has me thinking.
