Keep it simple, Honda wings on the tank, HRC on the tail and maybe a few sponsor decals and a number plate.  It is a track bike the simpler the better.  Just in case.

The PPG sprayed well.  The clear took a little getting used to but it seems to have flowed out nicely.  Thanks for recomendation!

More cutting and polishing tomorrow night but i have to say not bad for a track bike. Decals and pin striping soon

Paint is Sanded and Polished, went for a shake down ride and  waiting for a few decals but if I do say so myself...

This is one COOL VFR.

The upper is an '05 CBR600 and the lower is the matching belly pan but modified to keep the full belly pan.  The Tail is NC30 modified to fit.

Yup, that is my 93' in the back ground.  on 12k miles on it.

Yes, that is next weeks project.  I have the foam in its rough form and I will shape it as I ride.  Once I get it the way I want it I will have another suspension tuning session and then cover it.

Yup...  Just no comments about the exhaust not being lined up, it is now and I was standing a little off center.  Which is why I did not post this pic...   :laughing6-hehe:    All the fairings are sprayed in flat black on the inside, details you know.

Yeah, I was looking at your fairings this afternoon.  It would really would be to your benefit to keep the rubber side down more often, even if you do have a good deal on body work repair and paint...   :tongue:
