Here's a bit of video for y'all... 5 minutes of Moonshiner 28 in North Carolina. Probably one of my most favorite roads EVER....

I upgraded the rear line to a color-matched CoreMoto line....

I wasn't happy with the look of the heel guards that came with the rearsets, so I made new ones from a sheet of carbon I laid up using 2 plys of fiberglass mat sandwiched between 4 plys of carbon....

Time for some carbon fiber fun...All my parts were cosmetic, so a simple overlay process was all it took to score a high end look....

The wiring needed to pass from the handlebars into the area in front of the airbox... but the lovely clean lines of the VFR tank prevent that... so I had to cut & shut the front of the tank....

After fitting the subframe, the next step to having a clean finish was to transition the bodywork from the tail to the tank, and then fit the seat to the tank....

I liked how the Honda dirt bike rear masters had integrated reservoirs, and I also didn't like the cost of billet parts... so I bought a CRF rear master, and reamed it out to fit the larger VFR brake ...

Raw cover and primered tank:...

Another fork in the road... frame in hand, about to install on the freshly painted motor... leave it stock, or do something different with it? Hmm... Something different it is!!...

This is what started it all... a spare motor obtained in October of 2009......
