    No. No. And no. The parts can be found .......will take some time but a project worth the while. Your bike, and do what you will but not a fitting end to what was a classic motorcycle.....gen 3 was the best of the best. You will never regret doing the ugly that takes it back to what it was and should be. If you find the parts I have a great painter that works for cheap.

    NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    they are UGLY AS FUCK and REALLY do the bike an injustice.



    Ride it 1/2 made and save your pennies....Put it back like it should be.



    Dont fuck up a good bike. If ya want a street fighter buy a standard and saw away. The VFR's just dont look good bastardized....


    Think about it....Ya got classic lines....great engineering....Honda reliability....

    Trade it for a KZ900 or Busa and rape it.....

    Dont do it! Here is my $250 93 VFR that I just finished putting back together. When I got the bike it was in pieces..the body was off and the carbs needed put back together..after reassembling the carbs, cleaning and new carb kits..I got her purring like a kitten. It took time but I had to find a right upper, mid and lower..a left mid..had to repair the left upper and lower..the rest was good. I painted (BASF auto paint..correct honda pearl white code w/ clearcoat) and decaled the bike..found a great deal on a new corbin seat and shes once again a very sweet ride.

    How the bike was when I got it...the bike now

    Well, there are the right and left uppers there on ebay, at least.

    What all do you need? This community has a lot of heart.

    Well i don't want to chop it up at all... I just mean street fighter it like not having the fairings on, and having a headlight on it until i get money for fairings... I'm not changing the frame, or cutting off the back of the seat or anything... I just want it to be legal so i can ride it until i get money for all the fairings and the real headlight for it..

    U can ride it know dude all got to do is fit indicators and your light , just get a frame for the headlight
    Oh crap, i got the same problem the headlight is held by the fairing , so i just pushed my headlight(new) onto rubber gromets and used quick ties to secure to the fairing frame , i had visons of my brand new light faling ou smashing but hasint phew...

    yeah i vote for not street fighter your bike either is look yuk
    So thats why even though mine does look yuk am not making it worse if you know what i mean.

    Don't bastardize that freaking gen 3 bike or your gona force me or BB to punch yah in your bread-basket. And then you really won't be able to ride that great bike!

    Foot-note: we need pictures of mechanical carnage :worthless: this way we can dictate to you what we think you should do with your bike, since you are somewhat clueless :nelson: At one time, I did ride with miss-matched body work, but everything was hang-able and tight. Now, I dont even like to get caught in the rain with my scooter. Cheers :drinkers:

    I had the fuse cover blow off my viffer once. I bought a new oem honda part for 30 quid, this was before Ebay though. Also bought a center colour correct cowl section for the tail section... Cheers
