    I thought I'd post a couple pics of the vfr street fighter i built. I sectioned the factory tail 10" ,built billet alum. risers,ZX7 twin lights, acerbis motocross headlight mount/shield, FMF alum. motocross bars, Ducati 916 carbon fiber front fender. Two Brothers carbon fiber pipe, painted 5 spokes w/ full polished outers. Super fun , Hope you like it ,it might be avail. for purchase @ some point??? Enjoy. V-R

    Cool job! :thumbsup:

    The rear has a kind of "Batpod" (from "The Dark Knight") look to it!
    Maybe it's because the swingarm seems to be longer than original.

    How has the modification affected handling of the bike?

    As far as mods.. the 916 fender and exhaust cost me the most. The rest just took a LOT of time,the tail having taken the most attention on my build .I took a lot of pics along the way. As far as $/ sale of the bike ....those interested send me a PM.

    The mods have not effected the handling @ all , it's just so comfortable to ride! The swing arm only looks stretched due to my tail mods. If you grew up riding Motocross bikes or BMX bicycles for that matter this is just the most natural feeling bike, you wouldn't believe how much fun it is.....or maybe you would.:thumbsup: V-R
