    took my first spill on the viffer today,
    got stuck in the dirt and dust on the side of the road in a corner and the next thing I know I was sliding on my ass for what seemed like minutes...

    anyways, im okay but the left side of my bike is not. If anyone has any plastic parts please shoot me a pm/ 1993 vfr750f.

    TIA

    good to hear you are ok. Always sad to see an older bike get crashed as the parts are so hard to come by

    Glad you're well. shit happens.

    your old plastics may be repairable, you'd be surprised what can be fixed.

    My 91 was not a stranger to the pavement either. Shit does happen. Body work on that bike is tough, its all painted up now and looks pretty. Keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. Cheers

    almost time for a ride. Spent the last month getting it ready for the summer. New fairings and some panels painted as they are no longer available. While I was at it I added LED signals and tail, as well as blue dash lights. Even made a gps mount for the tree.

    Nice work getting the bike back together and what leds did you use for indicators etc and that voltmeter looks perfect.
    Any info on what it is and how you fitted?

    Cheers and enjoy the bike.

    I got the volt meter from Wal-mart. Its and Eequis. Had to hot glue it in as the hole is about the exact same size. This allows for a more flush fit as you can see. Its way better than that blank filler panel. I removed it with out damage and it can be replaced at any time.

    LEDs for dash are 7 bulb 194 style bulbs and rear brake and signals are the 36 bulb type.
    They do make the signals faster but I have purchased some resistors to slow them down...keep you posted.
