Where can I get a set of race plastics for an 02' VFR. I want to use it at the track and switch plastics rather than keep taping it off.

Thanks

No one makes any!
I would either hit eBay for a set of slightly damaged bodywork to use for track use or buy a set of RC51(or Superhawk) race plastic and modify it to work on the viffer. At least these bikes had side radiators too!

Arty.... the VFR on the track?

Why not pick up a cheap CBR w/o insurance?

Also... when are you going to Jennings? ohmy.gif

Pick yourself up an SV650 for about $2500, a naked one or S model, and put some sliders on it, then go kill it on the track.

But, I REALLY would like to see you get those RC51 parts and mate them up. Thats been an idea that many of us around here have had for a long time, but we just cant let the VFR's sit still long enough to try it.

I wanted to try out the track sometime in the near future. Would you like to go as well? I want to try out the track, I think I might enjoy it more than the street on this type of bike. It's way to tempting all the time to do what these bikes were designed for on the road. I really didn't want to buy another bike to keep in the garage, actually I might sell the VFR and get just a track bike and try and go to the track once every 5-6 weeks. I'll buy a cruiser for the street.

Get in touch with me about going to Jenning. I would probably go for two days. Sunday and Monday would be my preference.

Thanks

Don't worry about getting a track bike. the viffer might make you a little more tired throwing it around but think of the satisfaction of whooping up on a few surprised kids on sport bikes. Think of the WTF looks on their faces when a big sport/tour bike sails past them. goofy.gif well maybe you'll pass some of them. Think about how Freddy Spencer cranks his 6th gen around the track like its a rc211v.

okay, maybe an SV650 would be good.
