Oiled the K&N filters and stuck them on for a look....

Brake line retainer stolen from my XX arm and trimmed, I just had to sneak a Honda part into the build :P...

4 cans of brake cleaner, 1 can WD40, half a dozen rags, 2 toothbrushes, a Scotch Brite pad, 6 hours labor and my last few squirts of S100 to detail this motor....

See if this helps......

Exhaust finished. Tidied up the mount tab, welded the can to the mid pipe, cleaned up the mid pipe and ran over the previous welds with the tig torch to dress them up....

The clutch lever pivot hole size didn't match the lever perch, so I turned up a brass bushing to take up the slack...

Rear tank mount done...

Looks good, transfer to aluminum...

I've always wanted to build a slingshot... now I get to build 2!!...

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......

This project started with my stock Honda CB750F with CB1100RC bodywork and wheels added. The paint was silver, candy blue and candy red. I really wanted an RC but could not afford one so this was my f...
