1996 Honda VFR750SF (part 8)

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.

Test fit before clearcoat:

One of my favorite parts on the build... this hugger. Believe it or not, it took longer to figure out the mount than making the mount and the hugger itself.

Another piece of carbon sheet became a fake license plate for the photo shoot

The chainguard... another of my most favorite parts.
Started out as a piece of aluminum sheet, bent into a channel and then cut and shaped. A bit of templating for the connector piece, welding that on, then covered in carbon.

Another thing that had been bugging me was the footpeg position. So I made new adapter plates to replace the ones that came with the 900RR rearsets. I cut them from 1/2" thick aluminum stock, the same material the others were made from. I was able to shape them to follow the lines of the frame, so they blend in pretty well. I painted them to match the frame.
