  2. The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 15 Aug 2016 07:26 Hi Leon, I´m very sorry to hear about your accident! :-( Sad ending of a great tour. Fortunately you seem to be OK. If your bike is not all twisted up....remember I have half a VFR in my garage! Forks, upper/lower…

  6. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 27 May 2015 04:54 Yes, you are right! I have CBR900 footrests lying in the garage. But fitment has been postponed to “step 2”. Got the generator cover dummy yesterday. Turned and machined from billet aluminium, then anodized black. The…
  7. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 12 May 2015 05:44 johnlondon The first picture there, from the side...it looks like the front wheel is all but a couple of mm away from the lower part of the fairing..does it touch it? No, it is not as close as it looks. There is about…
  8. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 22 Mar 2015 14:33 @ Jason: Looks like you have got most of the pieces for a DIY NR! Just ad time…quite a bit of it! My bike came alive today after two years of slumber! I put on my old gas tank, and it fired up after just a few seconds.…

  11. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 7 Jan 2015 06:33 A two week Christmas holiday also made it possible to put some time into my NR-project. No big visual progress, but it is the details that is most time consuming. Like to create new edges around the grill cut-outs, and…
  12. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 22 Dec 2014 06:11 Yes, hedlight is from a Fazer 600 ´98. Merry Christmas from Sweden!
  13. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 19 Dec 2014 06:51 CBR forks do fit, but not without "problem"... If you use the 93-96 forks (92 is "wrong" color) you can use VFR wheel and rotors. But you need special made or adjusted spacers to get the wheel aligned in center. 98-99…
  14. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 18 Dec 2014 06:11 Hi Jason, Welcome to the club! You are in for a good start there with the mirrors! Rear light is from a Suzuki GS500 ,around `92-97 I think. (cheers to Helweg DK that found that out) Good luck with your project!
  15. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 10 Nov 2014 06:12 A little update. I´m working on the exhaust…again. Now trying to get the pipes in proper position. Needs fine tuning later. [image: 20141102_184308.jpg] The exhaust will be wrapped with heat resistant bandage to reduce…
  16. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 20 Oct 2014 05:20 All brackets for the front fairing is now done! I have also enlarged the side vents and began to fit the grill. [image: 20141019_144307.jpg]
  17. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 15 Oct 2014 11:17 Echelon3:s replica is probably the closest you can get to the real deal… Very very nice work! Unfortunately I don´t possess the skills it takes to achieve that kind of quality. [image: 20141014_205815.jpg] [image:…
  18. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 23 Sep 2014 05:48 NR = Never Ready? I hope not… House extension project is now done, and the long and warm summer is over, so it is time to get this build moving again! However there has been some progress since I dropped this build in…
  19. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 6 May 2014 04:57 Wow...this is probably as close to the real deal you could get. Serial production? I think you might have more than a few potential buyers in here... :tongue:
  20. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 29 Apr 2014 04:59 Hello Morten, Echelon3´s bike is the "original replica", all self made farings spiced with som genuine NR-parts. This beautiful bike inspired me to build my own NR-replica. I found "NR-Replica" fairings for a CBR900 on…

  22. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 13 Feb 2014 07:11 I think Timmy was simply referring to the quality of your work being well above the typical hobbyist. Your work is top notch! My thoughts exactly! yes, it was a huge compliment. never "hobby" with you, always "pro".…
  23. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 12 Feb 2014 11:30 Please remove the word "hobby" from your keyboard. Carry on. Hmmm...I can´t find the hobby-key on my keyboard...maybe that word has a different meaning than what I thought ...? A failed attempt of beeing funny...Sorry!
  24. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 12 Feb 2014 10:50 Rather sparsely between updates…but there is some progress! The side grills is very NR-specific and is a must-have on my replica. [image: NR grill.JPG] Problem is genuine parts is beyond expensive at €650 each…plus the…
  25. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 27 Jan 2014 05:58 Hello everybody here's some pictures of what it can look like after a lot of work! Project was started in 94' with a 93 vfr. Cheers Wow! Very, very nice!
  26. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 10 Jan 2014 05:55 All: Thanks for tips! Mrmatt: This looks nice! Is the hub from a Speed Tripple? year? Awesome build and attention to detail! I have a Triumph hub and axle in the VFR swingarm, and then a Ducati 5 spoke rim. It was not…
  27. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 9 Jan 2014 06:07 Thanks for input and cheering! I have been thinking about the single nut-issue quite a bit…it is definitely a specific NR-detail. To obtain a “real” single nut would be very complex, so I´m planning for a “fake” nut. A…
  28. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 7 Jan 2014 06:11 Thanks for input guys! There are two reasons for double tubes at the exhaust tips: I want it to have the original appearance of the NR, and I also want the bike to pass the annual technical inspection. The noise limit…
  29. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 6 Jan 2014 19:59 Yepp! Thanks to you Dutchy! :fing02: Andreas has all the measurements he needs :goofy:
  30. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 2 Jan 2014 07:23 I got a NR for Christmas! [image: IMAG1363.jpg] Only a model but anyway…is a nice thing to have on the desk at work. Many days off this Christmas, but the house-project took most of the available time. Status for…
  31. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 2 Jan 2014 06:46 Did you make the grille or buy it? It is made in a 3D-printer (from a CAD-model drawn by a friend) A genuine part is 484€ or $630 :wacko:
  32. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 19 Dec 2013 06:20 Not really my everyday life...it more like dark & grey this time of year this far up north...dusk at 08:30 and dawn at 15:00! :ph34r: OK, back to topic: Testing with some more special parts. This grill is one of the NR…
  33. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 12 Dec 2013 16:26 Thanks for that How long after ordering did you take delivery? Are you in the US? They said 6 weeks for delivery, but I got them after 3 weeks! Nope, not US. Sweden (EU-member so no problems with tax/customs) Edited…
  34. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 12 Dec 2013 05:54 Can I ask what the quality of the poly26 fairing is like? They do a twin light cowl for my vfr700/750. Roger I would say the quality is OK. Fiberglass is fiberglass, so it is not near the quality of the original…
  35. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 9 Dec 2013 06:07 O boy…my to-do-list just became longer… A minor extension of the house just fell in front of my feet… :pinocchio: Originally the plan was to start in April next year, but plans were changed. However, I have manage to…
  36. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 13 Nov 2013 06:22 More progress! I have been working on the headlight and fairing/mirror bracket. [image: post-26810-0-05581400-1384322998.jpg] I cut out a piece of arylic plastic (Plexiglass) and formed it with a heat gun. [image:…
  37. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 11 Nov 2013 05:51 Dutchy Once it is ready and the weather turned spring, I guess a VFR trip to Stockholm is in order....... :beer: You are so wellcome! :wheel: Edited November 13, 2013 by AndreasH
  38. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 10 Nov 2013 20:29 A milestone is reached! :beer: The difficult part of the exhaust has been completed (almost). I had to cut the original joint because I needed the pipe go upwards in a tighter bend. So I ordered special made adapter…
  39. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 30 Oct 2013 06:17 For them who is wondering if this project has been stalled: :schla15: No, but running in 1:st gear… Getting the fairings to fit properly, and to get a decent form of alterations and base for the future paint is taking…
  40. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 6 Oct 2013 19:48 Time for update! There have been little time for my project…as usual…partly self inflicted since a was on a trip a couple a weeks ago. I visited my friend in Germany. He lives near the Mecca for every motorcyclist in…
  41. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 10 Sep 2013 04:44 apexandy You could still perhaps use the side panels as a base to get the right shape under the tank and over the mounting bolts.... cover the panels with foil/tape/plastic/mould release and fibreglass over them, over…
  42. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 9 Sep 2013 10:38 Some real progress this weekend! Headlight problem is about to be resolved! [image: post-26810-0-57098800-1378722829.jpg] This has been a major issue. VFR headlight is way too big, and to fit xenon lights will probably…
  43. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 3 Sep 2013 18:02 Kel I probably spoke too soon then. Not my intent to bust balls just thought I'd throw that out there before you got too far along. Sounds like you have a good handle on it. This will be the envy of more than a few…
  44. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 3 Sep 2013 05:09 Kel Of course, this could all be my tired eyes, in which case, disregard above. You are (unfortunately) quite right Kel. That is the reason for all that filler- sanding-filler sanding… I have a template, so I´m working…
  45. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 2 Sep 2013 05:18 …Filler…sanding…more filler…sanding…etc. etc. :schla15: I´m working with getting the edges around the headlight nice and even. Takes a fair share of time…but I´m still not satisfied with the result. [image:…
  46. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 19 Aug 2013 05:19 A bit of progress! (but not as much as I hoped for...this is going to be a long runner!) Headlights has now got the correct shape. I used pieces of sheet plastic and epoxy. [image: post-26810-0-96945900-1376889315.jpg]…
  47. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 4 Aug 2013 19:02 About time for an update, yes? It is not always you are in control of your own time...especially if you have three children... :-) I have been working quite a bit with geting the right position of the front fairing.…
  48. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 24 Jun 2013 14:03 Dutchy Euro.............. ex 21% VAT.................... so unless Andreas is filthy rich (in which case he would have bought a NR..), OEM 4th Gen clockwork it is..... :goofy: You are quite right! (In both cases... :-)…
  49. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 18 Jun 2013 05:42 JZH Here's what you need... I have it on good authority that David Silver Spares (used to) have one of these for sale. Alas, no longer. Note the extra button on the lower left. Only UK-spec NRs had switchable MPH/KM…
  50. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 16 Jun 2013 06:45 apexandy Looking good :) I'm sure you've thought of this but be careful using that picture as a template for your headlights. Cameras... unless you are using the correct focal length will distort the perspective…
