    ok il get t3rr0 to post up some thing,
    it got dark by the time we took pics, and camera flash makes brand new bikes looks shit,
    so a 16 year old vfr aint going to be no good looking model with the pans off :blush: :lol: :pale: .....

    but anyway.......


    .the engine and clutch covers have been re-painted,
    .the top yoke has been re-painted
    .screen brace has been re-painted
    .front wheel off, and disk being re-painted
    .back wheel off, swing arm, chain, rear disk, calliper, shock, all had a heavy dose of elbow grease
    .oil drained, new oil in
    .exhaust painted (soz but i aint polishing a motorbike exhaust system it will take for ever :blush: :confused:hock: )
    .end can polished
    .both seats re-upholstered (front in white, back in black to match panels)
    .general tidy up (needs a clean but the garage don't have a tap so when the wheels are back on it can have a bath)

    .the bike looks dirty in the pics because of the lighting, so il put a few and take better ones
    (winter stealing the sun earlier then im used to :pale: )

    wheels need to go off to the powder coater then the pans can go on then its ready to sell :cheers:

    tell me about man lol,

    its hard to get it across in pics, but the bike is super clean (well will be)

    i guess when the pans go on it will be easier to show the progression.

    no before pics with pans on tho :pale:

    its more of a revamp then a project to be honest,

    i don't think i could justify spending the £££ to do a real project on such an old girl.

    brought new fairings for it, don't think they are a stock colour scheme but they aint one off's

    so would i :grin:

    and erm :mod: if i told you i would have to kill you :mod: :cool: :p ;) :lol:

    bait knows im sexy really,
    he has posters of me on his bedroom wall sitting naked on his slider...... ( :confused:hock: :blush: :lol: )

    ;)

    erm... :confused: what's left :confused:cratch: ....

    err waiting for a new tinted screen to come,
    waiting for a new set of mirrors to come,
    got the front disk off, so going to give them a clean and paint to day.

    wheels need to be powder coated black (bit that's taking long)
    needs to be cleaned (like properly, with water not muc off and spit :lol: )

    then fairings on,
    mini front indicators
    rim tape,
    exhaust,

    and then i think that's it,
    sale section time after that :cheers:
