After getting as much info as needed, I started disassemble my 96er.
And here I am so far.

May I suggest considering a smaller/lighter maybe kicked up rear subframe, maybe of aluminum, whiile you can, as the stock one hangs pretty low and big over the rear wheel, and weighs likd a boat anchor....
Looken good!
The R1 shock is sweet w/ low & high speed adjustment, but how much do you weigh?
The stock R1 spring rate is good for about a 90 lb rider, you'll need a major rate upgrade if you weigh more than a 100 lbs.

My calculations are much lighter rider, but the point is the R1 shock needs a new spring and a revalve to work on the VFR. It's a good unit and properly setup would perform well.
I need to keep the subframe. This because of the "Thurn" rear fairing I've bought. However, I did made a new pair of risers and can't almost put my feet down to earth and I'm 185cm. :smile:
And about putting a new spring on the shock. I must first see how she rides, because "pimping" your bike doesn't come cheap.
I'm still waiting for the new headers and because of that, the mind is making overtime.
So here is what my mind made up so far.

That's why there is a questionmark behind it. But the headlight had a text on it that said it was from Canada.

So the lights came from Canada but the clocks could be US or UK (both MPH) though IIRC UK clocks would have MPH (primary) and KPH (secondary).

The clocks are in KPH and have always worked fine. However since I've been upgrading and put in a KOSO DB-01R
instead of the original clocks and meters. I discovered that the colours of the manual didn't match at all.
But after using the FLUKE I'm pretty sure I've done an OK job with the re-wiring.
There's only the fuel gauge that's going to be tricky. :unsure:
