    Installation costs? we don't need no stinking installation costs! learning your way through doing maintenance/mods yourself is 3/4 the fun here!

    I do/will do it myself, that is why no install costs were included.

    I have been fixing anything i could get my hands on since i was 10 so i never include labor in my calculations. It is a stress-relief for me to wrench on my bike and alot cheaper than therapy. Plus it increases my knowledge of how it works and gives me satisfaction in a job well-done.

    My mod list is short and a few I wouldn't even consider a mod at all:

    TBR full exhaust and re-jet - more a performance upgrade than a mod
    Forks 10mm up in trees - suspension tweak
    Silverstar H4 - Its a mod because i slotted the notches in the headlight holes so i can use regular H4s or the Honda variety
    929 rear shock - definitely a mod as it was not designed for the VFR, plus i have to modify parts to make it work
    Fenderectomy - mod because i didn't use a kit, i used a Sawzall :biggrin:
    Amber rear running lights - mod because i rewired the tail harness so the turn signals use 1157 bulbs instead of 1156s

    200th post - WooHoo!
