What modifications are you PLANNING to do

Post by Stormin Ben »

Following on from the other thread about what modifications you HAVE done to the bike, I thought I'd start this one


Looking through my pile of procured bits in the garage I have a number of jobs yet to do


Spotlights - mount them and a switch arrangement in an endurance style to greatly enhance night time riding

Revlight - make a neat and tidy install of this. The last effort saw the fule light come on at 4000 revs and the whole lot flash in time with the indicators. Also the gaffer tape holding it curved round the speedo kept unsticking!

Engine bolts - Only done the clutch side, must get round to doing the other side coz its only a quick job (until one of the old barstewards shears off!!)

VFR tank - its all moulded and painted up, just need to get some time to sort out mounting it and a fuel cap so I can swap easily between the two

Respring Penske shock - its a bit light for me put some extra preload and compression damping will do for now

LED rear light - I picked up an LED light with the intention of making a concelaed rear light but so far have only ended up with a wierd RSV type affair by removing the rear lens and using the reflector

Front sprocket cover - I've got a spare front sprocket cover and a dremel. The intention is to make a cut away sprocket cover on the cheap

Mudguard exdender - Being a one-off, the front mudguard has no aftermarket extender available. Got a broken carbon mudguard FOC so will chop it up to make an extender

Clean it - found an old pic with the bike looking clean and shiny and it looked lovely. One day I will get time to clean it properly. One day :?


Basically I WILL get round to these jobs
Once I've installed the new bathroom, got a door put through into the garage, made a utility room and installed a new kitchen!!
I've got an inferiority complex
But its not a very good one!

Jet Kit

Yamaha 04/05 seat unit or MV type

RC throttle tube

Sp1 brake master cylinder/929/954 or after market setup

VFR 750 10 spoke rear wheel looks like the rc30 wheel instead of the vfr800 dogleg or would really like some after market wheels (galespeed,bst,dymag,marchesinis,pvm ect dont think its possible with the rear though.

I'm planning on clearing some of the crap out of the garage so I can actually get near the bike :roll:
