what about fiberglass?
let me know if you want to try it out
- Mike - 04-02-2007
the one piece that MIGHT have been usable was sold on eBay. MIGHT = big stretch when I want the bike to look as if it were never in an accident. i'll fully disclose to the buyer the shape that it was in, but i want it to look better than when i bought it.

I wish I would have known this was possible... Would have been cheaper and IMO A LOT better looking.

Wow. That is pretty hot, especially with the Viffer swing arm... Is that some crazy coincidence of bolting right up, or was there significant fabrication involved?
- Mike - 04-09-2007
a bit of both.
- .paul - 04-09-2007
that is the hotness!

- PDenbigh - 04-11-2007
That looks really good. What all was done there - side, front, and rear fairings, and ut exhaust?
- Mike - 05-03-2007
$225 and another part down. Got a brand new upper left cowl for half retail on ebay
Need: 2 mirrors, windscreen, upper right cowl, headlight (mine is banged up more than i thought), headlight surround, and finally new tires.
Slowly, slowly...

When was the crash again?
- Mike - 05-04-2007
Beginning of August. You forget about the "Previous" button?
- Mike - 05-10-2007
Half of the bike is 100% back together! Yay!
- Maengelito - 05-10-2007
60% of the time it works all the time!
- Mike - 06-30-2007
Considering I spent $225 shipped on the left side, $75 shipped for some slight damage is a steal!

Now I need a new headlight, windscreen, headlight cowl, and a few fasteners that have gone missing.

stupid battery is dead
such a heavy bike to hike up a hill...
- Ginger - 10-04-2007
When was the last time you rode it?
Considered a battery tender?
- Mike - 10-04-2007
maybe a month ago. i've been really good bout riding it around the block/to the store.
- Ginger - 10-04-2007
You'll need to ride it a little longer than that to really give it a charge... take it out on the highway for half an hour or so. Bike batteries are unbearably small and they tend to lose charge a lot more quickly than cars. And you know, VFR electrics suck, so expect them to go even more quickly!

(auto charge and shut off - roll into the garage, plug in, walk away for months)
- Mike - 10-14-2007
Fucking bike. Spent 20 minutes trying to get it started on a hill, rode around 20 minutes, turned it off, nothing.
- Ginger - 10-14-2007
See above. Or, in another couple of weeks you could tell us how it won't start again.
