We're in ur house, fixing ur bikes! Project VFR! (pic heavy)
#15
Like Phil (PGK) said, I wanted to get it running, and we did. It didn't properly run, per se, there was a little bit of carb cleaner and a lot of ingenuity involved, but it did, as a matter of fact, run. The next major stepping stone will be properly running, reliably. I'd like to get the operational features functioning - all the switchgear, seal up leaks, put a chain on it, seal up the [defunct] wiring harness, and so forth. The kind of odds and ends you'd expect you 'd need to take care of for a track bike (don't get any ideas, that's a maybe). After the "running regular" thing is taken care of we're going to build an auxilury lighting harness and that will also be a big piece to tackle. End goal - proper streetfighter.

We threw the body panels we're going to use on, and the gas tank the other day to get a feel of what we're going to have when it's completed. It'll be unique, that's for sure. I'd venture to say that nobody is going to expect the direction we're going to take.... but I'm getting ahead of myself, that's all in due time.

I wish I had pictures from the trip to Georgia and the motor swap. Those are the only two big things that didn't get documented. I'm going to keep being anal about a picture record, though, because I think it will be really cool to look back and see how the bike has come along.

... and yes, I very much hardcore lost the bet with RJ.

Thanks for the kind words - I'm really psyched about the progress. I've got a couple small videos I'll upload soon.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
