We're in ur house, fixing ur bikes! Project VFR! (pic heavy)

[Ginger]

Well, we did some more work today.

We started by dissecting a little more of the wiring harness; no pics because they all look the same right now. We're left with an "ignition harness" and are properly set up to create an "auxilury harness" which will serve to get things lit up... literally.

Next up was more trimming - this of the metal kind. It was time to abbreviate the subframe. The whole theme of the bike is minimalism, so off came the passenger pegs, the passenger section of the subframe, and the back section of the fender (which actually ended up coming all off).





Doesn't it look good?





But we wanted to really feel like we accomplished something - so we started it up and go it to idle on it's own. The carbs leave a little something to be desired, but they're getting the trick done for now. They'll need a rebuild since all the complication with the wrong year sets and all left us with a clean set that doesn't fit... but for now, whatever.

And then we mocked up the bodywork I had sitting around.





The seat was in the trunk of my car which wasn't around, but I picked it up and it's due for some trimming, too. I promise a full "working" mock up when I'm done.

But what's a day without power tools? Phil was practically looking for an excuse to buy a grinder, so when we went out to pick up fuses he came home with a nice little rotational wheel of fury.



(Obligatory gratuitus de-creation)

I've got a list of what needs to be done to get it road worthy... and it's not as long as you might expect. I'll try and post that up tomorrow.
