Headlight cover to protect it as if you smash it i dont think you can just replace the lens you have to buy the complete unit but probably loads on ebay so forget 500 quid!!!!!

the single sided swingarm off the vfr800 to buy from my local Honda dealer is over 1300 quid then the hub and carrier is 500 + vat

all i can say is thank Fxxxk for ebay

Couldnt agree with you more alan! its saved me hundreds over the years!

Â£200 isnt really that bad when you consider some end cans cost more than that! I might try and get the headlight cheap first and fairing pannels after! Im thinking could be a fun project for the winter months!

(yes i know really i should sort rust and stuff but bah,, thats boring!)

Well thats easier to do when youve got all the panels removed though....

Could have a competition for the best fireblade conversion!!!

not had time to do anymore been too busy shopping and working,got tomorrow to go then will be finishing mounting over xmas.... will take photos of brackets as i go along.....been checking out rrv at work today,to suss things out more and should be quite simple,got black tinted screen off evil bay,so that will really finish it off i think.

dont know bout other blades, suppose anything will fit though if you really want it to.

bloody ell, been waiting for screen,so i can do a final check see if mounting points are going to be ok,and everything will clear.

Screen only just turned up in last couple of days!!!! (This is the longest i have ever had to wait for anything, thought id been scammed)

Update....

Rear plastics primed rubbed down undercoated,and ready for topcoat and laquer.

Tank as above, ready for paint.

All brackets made and fitted, and all handle bar controls, etc. clear screen/top front fairing.

All panels now coming off again to be sprayed.

Wil update again shortly.

Have you made any progress on this lately?

marlbororman · Post by **marlbororman** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 10:35 pm

been to cold to spray,so going to take panels to me dads next week and spray in his heated garage.

Jaglifter · Post by **Jaglifter** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 1:24 pm

Know what you mean. Got some spraying to do myself, but trying to heat my garage is like trying to heat a barn!

Guess we'll have to wait a while to see the result.

believe me, if i could i would have had it done by now, but just not possible.

i really miss riding the old girl. on last ride out, i managed to wheelie it through the box( on a private runway though) and i feel as if its been years.

Oh well wopnt be long now.
