I have been working on my VFR for 3 weeks now. Today I got my bodywork painted.

Yeah, no cracks finally. I reinforced any cracked areas with carbon fiber soaked epoxy and cut out the outside to add reinforcement with flox. Flox is a combination of epoxy and cotton cloth. I also added a lighter filler to make it easier to sand.

There were big chunks hanging loose when I got it.

My wife is the spot putty queen and added a bit twice once I got the strength of the repairs made.

I would say that my bike will look great at 4' rather than looking ok at 30'

Next I need to get the panels on my bike and make it growl.

Yeah Baily
In the next week or two. The forks are next and regulator after. I have one of the clip mounts broken off so I will have to improvise probably a couple of cable ties. You really don't "need" to see further pics but want to.
