I bought this bike a couple of years ago.  the plastics were already pretty messed up.  I did not realize at the time that it would be so difficult and expensive to find replacements. I truly love the power delivery of the VFR v4 motor and The bike is comfortable and reliable so I wanted to find a way to get it looking more like what I wanted. I did not really like the tail section of the 4th gen models so I started looking at potential alternatives.  While doing research I came across a couple of different projects that intrigued me.  Among them was apexandy's streetfighter project.

The project got a kick in the pants when a friend gave me a Ducati Monster seat he had purchased for a previous project that he had never done.  The rest is history.  Still a long way to go but here is the progress.

A bit of progress.  Added some structural and visual elements to the subframe.  Cleaning up the electronics under the seat and added some ABS panels.

The overflow bottle?  

Paint it Black!  (and leave a narrow strip unpainted at the rear so you can still check the level easily.....

#9

I replaced the overflow bottle with an oil catch can.  Anodized black.
