On the way to making her all better

If you're looking for decals here's a good link. I've ordered from them and they're pretty good. They've got just about every decal for the VFR. You can customize the colors if you want. They custom make all the decals to order. I ordered mine and got them in in about 2 weeks. Good luck.

Extreme Decals

 

What has been done.
1.Took off all fairings.( if you have never taken apart a gen 3, I am telling you, the thing is like a rubik's cube.I am not exagerating - it really did help to have the manual tink is gonna need our moral support getting his together as he never took it apart in the first place ).
2.Bought a new lower from St. Rollin_Again for next to nothing ( he packaged it all so well, it arrived unharmed.
3.Took fairings to the body guy ( his name is Duane, he did the work faster then promised, and I am amazed that the color is so dead on. The guy is a miracle worker, and anyone local to me that needs bodywork at a fraction of the cost of a shop I will gladly refer people his way. )
4. Got parts back from Duane, me and Bweiss ( and beer ) put her all back together.
5. Waited for a few days for the chemicals to do whatever it is that they do.
6. Took back to Duane who wet sanded here, and Compund rubbed there, to really seal the deal. On the way home it started to sprinkle. God it was hard to make that last turn into the driveway, I just wanted to keep going. But I am instructed not to ride her in the rain. Thats what the wifes suzuki is for
7. Took pictures and posted them. I am a happy doode once again.

I dont want to disclose the insurance payout or the cost of the bodywork publicly, but if you are curious you can PM or txt me.

ok, here is what still needs to be done.

My brake pedal is still a little off. Easily ridable, but as I develop skills and muscle memory, I would like it to be 100% perfect again. Not too mention all shiney and chrome again.
ToxicShock is going to straighten it for me, and he has found me a place to have it rechromed. Its going to be less then 50$ ( with toxic doing the work for free. )

My clutch cover was scratched by the fall, by the plastic. TOE said he will help me paint it. He called it a 2 beer job. But I bet I bring him some gin for afterwards.

Lastly and most importantly. The decal. My bike is 50% less RWB without the decal hehe. Its in the mail and I am awaiting it. Another job that TOE says he can help me tackle.
I'ts funny, I wanted to dye my leathers black ( the ones that crustyrider gave me ). You know, cause I'm all gothic and shit. But after this drop, and missing the RWB decal so badly I think I will rock the RWB leathers as they are. Look out captain america, here I come.

 

that is where I found mine as well. You may try and shop around, but you will just come back to a differant reseller name using the exact same website. As far as I know, its the only place to get decals for a bike our age. 44$ out the door. I wouldnt bother with ebay either, exact same stickers, but more expensive coming out of AUS.

 

Tink is so close to 1000 he can smell it. And it smells like welded plastic.

 

that looks like alot of work.
but hey, you have a space heater. sweet.
There are differances with my bike and yours. Mine is a 1990 it doesnt say "honda" ( whatever that means ) on my lower
and my mirrors are black, not body color. Interesting.
Easy 993 repost those pics to the gen 3 group? that place has members but I am the only one to have ever made a thread there.

 

HAHA actually, my lower that came from St. Rollin said honda on it, but now its just beautiful red ( but my cellphone camera thinks its orange for some reason ).

 

ROTFFDTS

( tht means rolling on the floor falling down the stairs, I heard it on the radio )

 

I thought he was a Cell Phone guru by trade?..

 

trade? I am 1 step above working at 7-11. Smart isn't always valuable, or lucrative.
Rethinking careers right now.
Got the right kid, the right wife, the right bike(s), my pets are even acceptable. My friends are assholes ( you guys ) but I can't really do any better. Hehe.
Time for a new job, tho.

Edit: No offense to anyone working at a 7-11.
