The Build Begins

Building myself a Spencer replica for vintage racing. Picked up the roller plus engine for $500.00.

 

Looks like a nice start. What next?

 

I have a 1987 VFR 700 Engine if you need one.

 

No good Spencer had a 750. Gotta have the right motor numbers on the engine case that proves it's a 750. Otherwise don't EVEN start the build!!:chaingun:

Definitely keep us posted. With photo's and good detailed stories. Just watch those pinky's. You don't want to be called Toe.

 

Spencer raced the 500 two strokes.

 

What does a Freddie Spencer VFR look like? Something tells me he never raced a VFR. VF750 yes, RC30 yes but VFR?

 

He didn't race a VFR! He raced the two stroke NS 250/500.

...and a CB1024,VF750F, RC30, NR750 and NSR500, among other Yamaha's, Kawi's and Ducati's.

 

Freddie ran a 6th gen at his school for two up rides :thumbsup:

 

Freddie raced in 1991&92 In AMA Superbike on a Two Brothers Honda. It had to be a 750 and in 91 they had VFR's. His 250 & 500 bikes were for GP racing.

 

That's correct Grey. Freddie raced a Honda VFR750R otherwise known as the RC30.

Coupla old pics from '92 I believe at Road America in Elkhart Lake Wisconsin.

Wanna take a guess at who the guy in the white shirt with his back to the camera is?

 

I got to ride one of those 2 bros RC 30's and that is when my love for the V-4's begain

 

Cool!

My g/f and I were walking out to the parking lot after the races that same day I took those pics of Freddie and his Two Bros RC30 and came across this machine parked serenely beneath the trees in the shade.

My knees actually went weak. It was the very first time I ever got to examine one up close and personal. She literally had to drag me away from it. :lol:






A thousand pardons for jacking your thread Ian. :sorry:

 

First thing is of course to change out that back wheel with an f2.

 

What can we do to help? Maybe a bubba shobert replica cuz he certainly ripped it on an 86 750 before the GP accident at Laguna Seca.personally watched him tear it up on one at the now Infineon raceway in Sonoma, CA back in the day. feeling a chubby coming on. Sorry got to go.

 

Sorry boys I meant to say a Shobert replica. I will keep you posted on the build

 

I have that picture saved on my CPU. I love that bike. Always wanted to see that exhaust.

 

I always liked this one. It has an RC45 motor in it. Nice exhaust as well. The whole thing is very clean.

 

The F4i four piston calipers up front are a nice touch too.
