But they're all gay.

 

:cheer2: :vanity:

 

Yup...pretty damn gay...

 

This is one instance where Pics are NOT required.

 

but there's too many to not share!

 

Well good news Gavin! If that's the case you might be able to save some money on fixing those carburetors. Judging by the photographic evidence, all its gonna cost is some beer and your dignity.

 

Power to the peeps. Microwave power..

 

because he countersteers.

 

Poor Gavin, with all that has gone on here I bet he wonders what he has got himself into with this VFR

 

No not at all gonna have to do more than that to scare me off its only gay if you push back fellas !!!!! J/k but in all seriousness I appreciate the humor . I had a rough start on here . I posted a bunch of the same thing my first day and got yelled at by everybody . Since then you guys have all been very helpful even with the funny stuff .so thank you for all your really and help

 

we are happy to help out:lemo:

 

Pretty much a men's and a few gals club.....have to roll with the punches bub....don't take the yanking to serious. ..

 

Ok Gavin, now that we have you settled down, we can now start to give you a bit of help, but one of the things you must also realize is that if you do get this thing up and running, you are probably not going to find the fairing bits that you are missing and if you did find some, the costs of repairing them would be expensive so you will have to decide if you wish to go any further with it before you start spending any money on it, because once you start you have to continue it through to the finish, otherwise it will end up money down the drain

 

Well I have a couple of thoughts on that .1 I could strip the plastic off and make a street fighter out of it it would be a cheap fix . In all honesty this is most likely what is going to happen immediately after it becomes road worthy once again. But I do not want to leave it naked just more than likely will broke when im finishing it up mechanically and will eager to ride it . My rough plan for it is to put the 91 front upper and lower fairing/side pieces from I believe its thurn on there and i seen a 89 nighthawk gt650 I believe it is and i could be wrong but appears to have The same frame (for the most part as the vfr) and i really like the tail piece on that bike alot more rounded and modern looking so thats my vision at this moment for my bike but things can and do change but I really like that front end and hope there isn't gonna be to much fab work to make it fit and think the tail piece would finish off the back end well so you guys are probably going nuts me saying this wanting to make it a Frankenstein bike but i think it will look really clean when done and want be a whole lot of fab needing to be done to do it

 

This is not carb related, but in your gallery pics the front left brake calliper looks like it is only hanging on (or off) by one bolt. Please promise me you're not going riding like that when you sort the carbs!

 

Yes I seen that myself the other day when looking at the bike no after the carbs I will be replacing brakes front AnD rear chain and sprockets tires And most likely wheel bearings before I ride it unfortunately.

 

How many miles on your bike Gavin ?? BTW, there is no gt650 Nighthawk, so maybe you mean the NT650 Hawk (aka GT647) like this:



It has a very different frame from a VFR, much narrower.

Best bet for your bodywork would be parts from Airtech fiberglass.

 

Ok thanks for the info probably saved me some money right there biotech ill check them out thanks again

 

Someone suggested--and i agree--that you simply MUST run a compression test on the engine b4 putting ANY more money into it.
