Hi there,

SCramblers seem to be coming into vogue and I was thinking about doing some sort of moto-bars-upright-type-conversion to the VFR I just bought.  Maybe it woul dbe more of a upright cafe racer/ naked bike... i dunno just brainstorming

Does anyone have any favorites that can be seen on the internets?

I was thinking it might need lower pegs too but can't see how to get them any lower or more forward than I have already done with Larry's lowering blocks...

Also curious if there is a tail end off another bike that seems to meld well with the 5th gen VFR to give it a more modern backside.

I used a ninja 250 tail, PalladinReed used a 1098 (I think) tail.
Google Vfr streetfighter and see what comes up.

Well I googled "rambler style motorcycle" and there are are some hot chicks with motorcycles...

  Maybe he means scrambler, and I don't think the VFR frame and tank lines are very compatible with that particular "style".  Would need to do a good amount of customization to pull of a scrambler VFR.  Dual high shotgun pipes and a riser handlebar is going to look out of place with most of the rest of the bike.

My guess is "scrambler"  :unsure:
