Hey everyone...for a long time now I've been itching to modify my bike. Its a bad habit I have. I have to make the things I own unique to me. Starting saturday morning I began hacking and rerouting and wiring and drinking...haha. Here are some progress pictures and final pictures. Let me know what you think. I believe I lost about 50 lbs. total after all was said and done.

That vapour looks good jutting out from the triple. She looks menacing.

now if I could convince you to paint it flat black......................................................

Man, it looks like a big, steroid-induced Honda Hawk at first glance. I like it. I've seen a couple of people do the street fighter look on their VFR, but all the mess around the engine makes it look unappealing... did you do a LOT of tucking and hiding? Yours looks pretty clean. Thumbs up!

I had to move the oil cooler unter the airbox. Its tucked tightly in between the frame carb and airbox. I moved a lot of wiring. I move some wiring that was by the coils inside the frame. I still need to shorten the main wiring harness but that will be an all day project. I'm still going to bomb the coolant tank black leaving the sight area clear. I put fog lights which are my high beam on my forks where my reflectors used to be. My headlight stays on also with high beam. My guages have 4 indicators, nuetral, oil and both turn signals. The guage is a tach, speedo, air and engine temp trip clock.....and more

p.s. It is a wheelie machine which is what I wanted...a blip of the throttle at 3000 rpm and it comes up...Its a monster now.

The big tail makes it look out of proportion... how 'bout a Ducati 999 biposto tail?

Yea I would like to do something with the tail next it needs to be shorter.
